stable 1/4 sawn aussie hazrdwood
hi team,
I want to make a mod to my SCMS ala roger gifkins so i can have a timber fence to attach for precision cuts to tiny timbers for boxes... see pic of rogers setup...
Q: what is an extremely stable, knot free, dense, rigid 1/4 sawn aussie hardwood commonly avail in lengths of 2000x90x50mm (approx)
note rogers pic has a jarrah fence - would this be the best timber for this type of thing ? i'd rather only make this thing once.... rather than have the bugger warp and lose square and buckle etc..
appreciate some advice - remember im in sydney so local timber would be good to keep price down.
cheers!!!Zed

My fence is a laminated length of around 11 plies, (came out of a skip) which was secured to a modern piece of plywood door (also has a laminated core) and drops on to an anchorage point at saw end and another anchorage point at far end. The platform is removable. When I have cleared out the workshop after our hectic weekend I will post a picture.
The reason I have come into thread at this stage, "be extra careful that the steel ruler in your picture cannot at anytime come into contact with the blade"
It happened to me a couple of years ago and some teeth came off the blade like bullets and peppered the place but fortunately missed me.woody U.K.

Zed,
most Tas Oak I have seen is 1/4 sawn. This would probably be the most stable as far as solid timber goes in OZ.

I dunno about that. Red mahogany is incredibly stable, with bugger all movement even when green. Mind you, it's not commonly available, but we do have a bit...
