Thanks Ian...big tables are a big learning curve.

Thanks for all your consideration. And you are absolutely correct. The apron is 30mm wide and 80mm tall/vertical. Despite 45 degree bracing in every corner and on the middle cross bits....the whole...

Hi Ian
Below url depicts bridle joint as I've done it.

I can't seem to reduce jpegs to a duitable forum size and my sketchin sucks.
I just glued...

Cheers Elan thanks for the info. Lo My 'joints' need all the epoxy they can get.

Hi.
Thanks for the thoughtful replies Ian and Elan Jacobs. Firstly, that was a typo the apron size is 2580 x 980, so the planned overhang of the table to apron is 60mm. I'm glad you are not worried...

Hi All
I have taken on a job to build a BIG blackwood table for some friends. And I'm starting to hit a few challenges. The top itself is to be 2.7m x 1.1m. All the timber for legs/apron/t.top is...

Hi, Yes it was the capacitor, dunno if it was the 70uF or the 200uf, buts its working like bought one again ie after both were replaced. Local Felder dealer was quite helpful.

Hi,
I've a single phase Holz Profi 310 Planer thicknesser that has a serious problem. The motor starts okay at slow speed but never manages to get through the start up cycle into normal high speed...

Okay, if 150mm is the go and I have a DC that comes with a 90mm port, am I doomed to 250cfm or less?
I presume I could take off the 90mm port on my Hare and Forbes DC and replace it...

Thanks for the feedback. I worked out a partial solution. Bunnings sell these thin blue 4" ag pipe joining sleeves. One end fits quite snugly on the H&F Gate sections, the other end has an raised...

:rolleyes: Hi Dust Extractors,
I'm trying to set up fixed dust extractor ports in my shed and I want to use 100MM PVC piping, but interconnections are a bit of a challenge. The Hare & Forbes 100mm...

Hi,
I'm thinking of building one of those delicate chinese side/hall tables, does anyone know where I'd find plans or sketches for the building of one? :)

I find DGI country oil works well on small pieces of dry redgum eg wood carvings, I just wipe on wipe off evry 48hrs for about a fortnight and it builds up a clear tough [semi gloss] urethane finish....

Hi,
I've been using a urethane based product called DGI Country Oil for years...its very tough and if you persist with it you can get a pretty smooth finish. They recommend two seperate coats with...

Though I bought the "metric" Leigh jig, they supply it with
a 5/16"[7.9375mm] spiral up cut bit,
the templates are 8mm.

I've then bought a 1/2" [12.7mm bit] that I'm mistakenly been trying...

I forgot to mention, for the larger tenon I'm using the 12mm Leigh template set, bought seperate from Carbatec Brisbane......so it all should all match up okay.

Hi,
I bought one of these Leigh SFMT jigs[metric] and am just teaching myself how it goes. I found that using a Leigh 1/4" twist bit, the tenon thats created using the plastic template is quite a...

This is fixed. Holz Profi factory blades are 2.85mm [though labelled as 3.0mm]. I had the gibs machined down by 0.15 mm to fit standard 3.0mm hss blades. I then used 400 wet/dry to gently smooth all...

The planer/thicknesser is model number 310-stp-v. All contributions gratefully accepted.:)

I have 4yr old Holz Profi 300mm planer/thicknesser and am finally getting round to replacing the ordinary German blades with some new 3mm thick HSS blades.

Getting the old 'factory' blades out,...
