Morning Shaun, sorry I was not able to be at the Shed when you called in. I Hope not too many dramas loading and unloading the thicknesser.

Enjoy and take care

As mentioned do not allow the bit to bottom out , to avoid this I place a small O ring in the collet base - the bit shank does not dislodge the ring and the operator cannot forget to ensure the bit...

a jig as above with a 6mm ID tube in place of the pencil will set up the position following a pencil line drawn across the side of the ring...

Forgot to mention that I am thinking that a flexible drive shaft may assist but have never used one - may see what Bunnies have in the low end of the range -

again any suggestions appreciated

Just had a look at another forum - wood turning - and in reply to an issue with applying finishes, it was suggested that an airbrush may be worth a go - anyone able to comment ?

Thanks Tom - occasionally have the need to apply a clear finish in either gloss or semi gloss. Mostly smallish items - boxes, platters ( non food ) childrens furniture when not brightly coloured.
...

After any comments about which brand / model / version spray can finish is good on wooden display boxes, platters etc - non food contact items - using both softwood and hardwood timbers. Finish...

Hi Barri - love it when someone else makes my type of "mistake" before I get the opportunity :2tsup:

Thanks for the heads up and having the lead side a tad lower makes sense too. At the Men's shed...

Hi Graeme, it was the gel type I have had little to no success with - will look at the peel away stripper - that is a new one to me - easy to see that I don't go for paint stripping very often.........

Hi Graeme, having used various chem strippers on small areas, I have not entertained doing that for a larger area. Usually always ended up with a poor result and an oversize mess for the size of the...

Many thanks for the comments - aware that "deep" blasting and or " coarse" grit would erode the base panel - now of walnuts and soda as media but have just read about the dry ice - would be a tad...

Hi Lappa, one thing I am trying to avoid is using the surface plaining bit to excavate the inside area of trays and deep bowls - using the Forstner is very much faster BUT the bevel goes deeper than...

UPO - Richard

Many thanks Kuffy - does the base plate shown in your Timbecon link require custom drilling or with the many slots & holes does it line up for the M0F001 Triton out of the box ?

UPO - Richard
