100 year old rafters on the Slabmaster
Hi,
just thought I'd share my days work on the SlabMaster. I got this timber from the demolition yard. Apparently it is from a 100 year factory!
It is my second go with the machine, the big plus is I can machine finish the edges. Great for joining and edging. It will work up to about 350mm which is out of limits on the 15" thicknesser.
The nails don't bother the cutting head either, they get eaten with the timber cut.
I set up another one for tomorrow, much thinner rafters from the same job and a bit lighter.
I usually glue the lot in one go, but ran out of glue. Will post a few more pics as I go!

I buy it as hardwood, but I don't know my timber. I will dress it tomorrow, so I will post it and maybe someone might know!
