Thanks all four your input. By laying the slides on their sides, the bearings still run against the curve of the slide and don't bind. I think that so long as the printer is the only thing being put...

501283 Hi Guys, I hope this helps my description. It's just a flat piece sitting on top which she wants to slide out only around 200mm to allow her to open the out tray. so not full extension.

Hi Graeme, she has her printer sitting on top of an existing unit but needs to pull it out every time she wants to fold down the out tray. A sliding shelf will allow her to move the unit closer to...

Thanks John, that was my original idea but then thought that they aren't designed to be used flat. Is there much overhanging weight on the coffee table tops you have used when the slides are extended?

Thank you for your response. I was thinking of simply attaching small sides to the underside of the shelf to accommodate the normal slides but would prefer to keep it as low as possible for neatness....

Hi, I have a friend who wants me to make a sliding shelf for her printer on top of an existing unit. I was planning to simply use a piece of ply with drawer runners basically sandwiched between the...

Thanks Dallas, like so many machines these days there seems to be a lot of these thicknessers around which look the same apart from the colour and branding. Unfortunately they are very lightweight...

Thanks Tom, these are only 2.5 to 3mm thick and probably 25 to 30mm wide pressed into shape. I will need to get him to take a photo as he is heading my way this week to play with the bigger toys.

Thanks for your reply China. I originally did this as the piece was pretty bent up. I guess, now that he has the new blades, I can give it another go. The only thing is that they are only 2.5 to 3mm...

Hi guys. I have been working with a young vision impared lad who has a GMC 330mm thicknesser. One of his knives was broken due to the clamp plate being bent. I tried to straighten it but the holes...

Thanks, I have also been wondering that.

Hey Owen, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the Sicar only has a centre drill hole in the top of the shaft. I was told that some of the newer stand alone machines have the facility to retrofit the...

Cheers Riverbuilder, $900 set has 14 cutters and the steel hub. My thoughts at this early stage is just that I may not use them as much as the other functions of the machine and the cheaper set would...

Thank you for your reply, but I haven't had any experience setting up a spindle moulder. The ones I have used previously had the 1/2" collet fitted to take router bits. I'm not sure what you mean...

Hi brains trust, please be gentle as this is my first question. I have a Sicar multi function machine I bought second hand last year and have been very happy with it so far. I have only used the saw...
