I do not disagree, I was merely pointing out that I could possibly modify my prototype to correct for drift like the DMF.

I gather that one would have to change the correction for drift when...

The DMF claims to be adjustable for drift, in a similar way to this Youtube clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZThUPOr_Ug

I like that fence, I wonder how much freeplay there is in the gearing.
The drift adjustment has given me an idea. With my prototype, if I reintroduce the original screw for tightening, I could...

"Pesky" is a good description. With my prototype I can relocate the clamping so that the connectors do not interfere, regardless of where the fence is positioned on the table. It is always better to...

Sounds like you would be creating a similar set up to the original one.

The 'round bar to table' connection points ( as shown in my last picture ) are a nuisance as they can interfere with the...

Hi Brian,
is the formed metal strip designed to maintain a clamping force, ie, bracket to bar and would you still use the original locking handle?

The prototype.

I had the same response from Felder, they said that I may have dropped it. There are clearly a number of forumites who have had the same problem, it is unlikely that everyone had dropped theirs.

As mentioned, one claw broke off a while back, unfortunately I cannot find it now. It might have to be a fix using a different method. The two claws are the weakest points that require the greatest...

Sadly, I have had the same problem. One claw broke off and then the other. The broken part of the component seems a little under-engineered. The fence was not mistreated and the bandsaw was not used...

3 phase power could also be used for other things like a 3 ph home ducted airconditioner, that was the logic I used to justify it, my wife did not and could not object.

Well I did a little experimenting over the weekend with normal wood screws and long threaded wood screws. I figured that, using the torque setting on the...

Thanks Rod and Jrock, I can not say that I totally trust these type of legs, even though some kitchen manufacturers say that they are Ok even with stone bench tops. I will probably make the plinth...

Thanks for that Rod,

BTW, on another topic, as I am planning to use engineered stone ( like Caesarstone) for a bench top, am I better of making a solid plinth instead of using those plastic...

Chambezio, I guess, I am a little paranoid, but at the same time, I like to find out the various options. It can be quite enlightening getting different views from our well intentioned forumites.

The cross support dowels are 22 below the outer edges of the corbel. Any screwing that has to be done, must be between the dowels which are separated by 80mm. If I trench the length of the corbel...

As the corbel is glued together and almost ready for painting, I am reluctant to drill into or mark the exterior. I should have done that before gluing the outermost sheets ( 8 sheets of 16 mm MDF)...

Hi there, As you can see from the photos I have been busy making a range hood canopy.

I need to fix an aluminium plate to the top of a corbel, made from a lamination of 16mm MDF. It would...

Oh, by the way, the rangehood has been fitted and ducted to the outside. The shroud and the skirt are merely covers fitted to the structure supporting the rangehood.

To answer all questions.

The shroud is in MR MDF and I have butt jointed the pieces. The end grain projects sideways and I have sealed them with PVA glue. The shroud will be sealed and painted...

Not sure what you mean about laminating two 16 mm MDF boards. The corbels are about 128 mm wide, so it would mean laminating eight 16 mm or four 32 mm borads. I wonder about how much the mass would...

Hi there,
I am making a kitchen range hood canopy as shown in the picture. The canopy in the picture is roughly to scale cardboard copy. I plan to make the structure using MDF and paint it in white...

As I am concerned about blotching Qld Maple has anybody used Charles Neil's anti-blotch product.
Blotch Control: CN's Pre-Color Conditioner - YouTube

I have a new Qld Maple staircase that requires finishing. I have to stain it to match grey ironbark ( tones of brown) flooring. I understand that I can either add tint/pigment to polyurethane when...

In my case, as I used floorboards, it was somewhat complicated by the fact that there was a mix of hard and soft kauri.

Watched one of the videos and it breaks my heart that the beauty of the work in the joints is hidden in the final product.

Hi A,
I am overall happy with the box. I used two 6 inch exhaust lines because the dusty intake is 6 inches and therefore the outlet should be, as far as I think, more than 6 inches. For ease, using...

In addition to the above, avoid ribbed cardboard as well. I believe they may contain chemicals that encourage surface rust.

I have use this type of perforated rubber mat placing it under my ductile iron planes. After several months of contact, I have noted rust in the pattern of the perforation. Not sure whether the rust...

Enough to make me want to clean the filter. This has happened with two bag so far, I was quite surprised as there was no visible damage to the bag. Some dust would settle on top of the bag, I suspect...

It's both, the dust somehow gets out of the bag and into the filter.
Z

It had been set for at least a few days.

I was thinking of making a shroud that would, with the dusty lid open, fit over the filter housing and be connected to another portable vacuum cleaner,...

Could varying the suction on the dusty as well as the speed of the orbital sander reduce the problem?

I don't seem to get through half an hours work without noticing a drop in suction and as I said the bag could be almost empty. What you said about varying the substance vacuumed could be a solution....

I agree Les, I believe the more specific dust extractors have a end stage filter that is automatically and constantly cleaned. The Festool reusable cloth bags would be slightly less prone to clogging...

Lately, I have been sanding plaster ie:skim coat of rendered walls using my Festool 150mm random orbital sander hooked up to the CT 33 dust extractor. I was surprised how easily the dust clogs the...

Hi Bob,
If I am right, I note that the pilot is inserted perpendicular to the air flow, would angling the tube to go with the flow, alter the readings and perhaps make them truer?

Well, I ended up buying the 1500 watt Ozito version. I found it perfect in terms of power to weight ratio particularly for removing 25 mm hard render of the bathroom walls. As mentioned before, the...

I agree, we already have a 20mm step, adding another 17 mm would be too much.

Sadly, the screeding will have to be redone as everything in the bathroom will have to be reorienated, so the floor waste will be in a different position.

Zelk

Thanks guy,
As mentioned, I started removing the render and tiles with hammer and chisel (60 mm wide) on a section of wall that was to the double-brick wall cavity and so there was no render on the...

I am about to demolish my 70 year old bathroom and am looking for a power tool to remove the tiles with the cement render which is about 20 mm thick. I tried with a hammer and chisel and the going...

I have made one post. I know it's not much of a contribution, but can have my name carved out on the bench?:rolleyes:
Zelk

Thank you for that Larnet, we are close to the stage of our renovation where we will needing a spray painter.

Where does the mallet fit in the tool?

Now that you have opened the throat more, I would expect the velocity of the air reduced, explaining the coarser particles that are not captured. However, the increased flow of air is capturing the...

I like it. I hope the flexible piping is not obstructed by internal structures, with the saw at 45 deg.
Zelk

Nice table, all you need now, is some form of digital readout. The enclosed router should be a lot quieter.
Zelk

Can't say I have, we get a bit of a breeze along that side of the house.

Hi Bob,
The set up, https://www.woodworkforums.com/f200/reducing-dust-extraction-sound-46103/, is doing well, I just love the reduction in noise. In addition to the wall mounted fan, I have also...
