By the way the guard is dead easy - turn right way up (currently upside down) and insert pin into matching size hole. It looks like your fence assembly may have had some after market adaptation or...

Hi Archie, Welcome aboard. I no longer own the same jointer, so can't help you with photos. But I reckon if I managed it with the help from this thread you can figure it out too. I'm no engineer...

Thanks all for your helpful suggestions. Looks like I'll have to figure out how to remove the tables for a cleanup first of all. Will report back in when I've achieved this. At worst I'll have...

Thanks, I'll try those adjusters to see how they affect the rise and fall adjustment for the infeed table. But why would there be three.

And i guess I'm still stuck with how to get the infeed...

I didn't include a pic of the crank to raise or lower the table, which is underneath.
The hand wheel is to lock it in place.

The 3 screws are definitely adjusters of some kind, as they have a...

G'day,

Being the proud new owner of a vintage machine that predates me by a couple of decades (I reckon), I have a question on how to get it set up just right.
This is a Tanner jointer (planer,...

Hi all,

I'm slowly teaching myself woodwork by mistakes and successes, and have managed to cobble together a box for my toddlers toys. It's a mortice and tenoned carcass made of 40x40 mm rebated...

Thanks bpj1968, you've made it onto my virtual christmas card "A" list. Should I ever send one sometime in my life you'll be receiving...

But seriously, excellent reply - I'll be giving that a...

Thanks for the reply Ray. I'm loathe to put anything into the chassis track rails, but might go and lie under the table and cogitate on how to find a temp fix. If I can put in a spacer to keep it...

G'day,

Having just migrated a bunch of Triton accessories onto a Workcentre 2000 I've hit a wee stumbling block. The height winder kit (2nd hand) is fitted with a Mk 3 chassis hook, and after...

I've gone back to looking at Bill Pentz website to search for more details on ideal cone shape. His formulas are designed to optimise catching fine dust as well as the larger particles.

You can...

Not familiar with Dynamat but are you suggesting it could go onto the inside of the roller doors or use it as a curtain?

Thanks Gunn,

Unfortunately we don't have IKEA in NZ. But it's given me food for thought an I'll peruse the local plastic shop for anything suitable looking. Currently I'm trying to find a metal...

Thanks for all the support - gorilla glueing a dowel into the hole, redrilling and reinserting the insert nut has done the trick nicely. It might wear out eventually, but I expect not before the...

Thanks, that's another good solution. The insert nut on the same page seems to be what I have.

Meanwhile I have gorilla glued a 10mm dowel into the hole and tomorrow I'll put an 8mm hole back...

Great, thanks to you both, I feel confident I can get on with it now.

May the grain be with you

My only concern with using epoxy is that the machine screw tip protrudes 10mm past the threaded insert so it'll be tricky not getting epoxy into the hole beyond the insert. I saw a trick of putting...

Once again it makes so much sense now that you explain it. Yes Allen key it is. In terms of the correct pilot hole what is your selection criteria (take a look back up at the photo at top of...

Yeah of course, a dowel makes a lot of sense. Couldn't see the forest for the trees.

So once I'm redrilling I just use whatever size drill bit allows the insert to start into the hole and then...

Thanks for the pic Al.

This brings me back to my orginal musings - if we take the length to be to from the base of the cone to where we cut it off at the skinny end then this formula would allow a...

oops, I guess I didn't make very clear what the problem is - the levering action has meant that the 'threaded insert' has worked loose in its hole so I want to bed it back in securely.
What would...

hopefully fixed now, still learning how to get pix loaded

Thanks Al,

so if I understand correctly we are talking about

1) a given diameter (eg the diameter of the top bucket multiplied by 1.64 is the distance between the center of the circle to the...

A real mundane question but here it is:

My little baby boy's rocking horse has side supports (the riding world's equivalent of training wheels) that prevent him falling off it. At...

Hi all,

I've been reading various threads and websites (eg Wayne Davy and Bill Pentz) on building a cyclone. I'm particularly interested in making a mini cyclone from buckets and hooking up to...

Well we do want to be able to use the doors frequently as this is the main access for materials and larger tools. The side door has a tree and bamboo grove close to it which don't allow much...

Thanks guys but neither of those are in the realm of practical solutions for us.

I've been thinking along the lines of portable screens on casters or hanging carpet on a roll up high that can be...

Hi all,

I live in an intentional community in Auckland NZ, and have been working to turn the shed into a workshop. Noise is an issue for the urban environment both for our residents and our...

Took it back to Machinery House (for you kiwi readers). They suggested I take the shop demo model but when that wasn't sitting squarely on a flat surface I asked for a refund - their customer...

I agree Jim, it is either one or both of too much tension too soft a wheel.

I just got off the phone with Scheppach in Germany (luckily I speak Krautesian). They suggest I get in touch with my...

Thanks Malb - you're absolutely right - not one but two resting place indentations on the rubber wheel.

I guess it doesn't affect functionality too much but makes for unpleasant operation -...

At risk of another daft question - both the Triton wetstone grinder I have previously used and the Scheppach 2500 I just bought have a definite clunk sound in their rotation. I had thought the...

OK thanks guys, your combined $0.04 is the info I needed. No sign of a crack, I'll get to work truing it up - got the Tormek dresser with depth adjusting screw for this - and onto the pile of chisels...

Hi,

I've just acquired a brand new Scheppach TiGer 2500. On assembly I have noted that the wheel has a chip out of it on one edge, about 3mm in diameter.

I'm aware I'll probably need to true...

G'day from across the ditch,

I'm based in Auckland and my interests are in permaculture and more specifically using traditional non-powered tools (mostly though the flesh is weak and I do lapse at...
