It’s really a non issue. Epoxy, sand, oil. No dramas.

Just saw this thread.

You might find a lot of the smaller board and veneer suppliers will have a cnc and edgebander. Most of them will be happy to cut and edge boards that you can then assemble....

The 0.9mm ally is the answer for the shims. $5 from bunnings and 5mins to make. Mine's still going strong and I've got probably 50 hours on it now.

Another vote for the festool in the cage. I've got a BS105 and it's amazing what that thing will do.

Sand the inside then tape. Makes it easier to prevent glue stains and clean up is a breeze https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170619/4c85fabc121edf2c58773320ddf0af9d.jpg

Yes!!!

You've gone full scale Mario in my mind [emoji23]

I'm now reading all of Brett's posts in an accent in my head...

There's only 2 situations I use the rip fence.

The first is to get a parallel rip when I've already straightened the first side up with either the slider or the track saw. I guess I could do it...

I haven't touched mine from when the Felder guys set it up. Just measured it and it's parallel. If I'm getting burn marks is usually my technique or the side that's running against the fence has a...

The fence isn’t great for ripping but to be honest, I don’t even notice it anymore. I was keen to replace it when I first got the unit but now it’s a real non issue. It’s a little bit tricky to...

No doubt about it, the C3-31 comfort is a great piece of gear.

The rip capacity is just over 600mm which is a bit of a pain but other than that I don't have a word bad to say about it. I've had...

It's an absolute workhorse as well. I put 4000lm of 200mm rough sawn Marri through mine in 3 weeks this January. Took it from 25mm to 19mm in 2 passes (3mm cut each side). The inserts are still...

True, but that's where current in the motor windings is at a peak which isn't normally a good thing :)

Try the Osmo raw mate. It's got a mild white pigment in it and it keeps the natural colour of the timber.

Ooooooo I like that. Looks like it comes apart fairly easily. Great use of that little end table :2tsup:

It's a bit crazy that we're still all dealing with ways to mount a standard router upside down. It's not like a router table is a new concept.

Stop it Chris... I need more projects now like I need herpes.

Have a look at the OSMO range mate. It's all I use these days.

Believe me I get trying to make it simple! I tried a load of different options. I had 80mm medium wall steel pipe with a slit down it but what I found with all of them was that I always wound up with...

It's a lot of effort to go to for something that can be solved with 2c worth of aluminum but I totally understand the desire to make it pretty [emoji12]

These are the outside diameters you'd be shooting for with the sleeve. From what I can tell you only get about +/- 0.3mm without the lift binding.

106.7, 88.9, 81.7, 83 and 92mm

It wouldn't be my choice. PVC isn't really known for it's structural integrity when it gets warm either. It deforms pretty easily.

The mounting is a bit of a non issue as far as I'm concerned....

Yep, I'd thought about extending that ribbon cable to the control panel but I can't really see myself changing the speed that often. I don't use many big bits. I'm planning on a big E stop mushroom...

Quick shot of the setup as it stands. Still to add stop and start buttons to the front of the router table panel and a load of other refinements but for now it's in and it works.

Was going to...

It's not a million miles away from the $720 you'd spend on a triton router and a woodpeckers plate.

Will do woodpixel. I'm about to smash the balls off the setup for a couple of weeks as I've got a lot of template work to do so I should have a better idea about how it's all going to work. Seems...

Thanks for the headsup mate. Wouldn't be here without you doing the preliminary work [emoji106]

Just as a follow up. The spindle arrived and fitted neatly into the Jessem master lift ii on it's smallest setting shimmed out with some 0.9mm aluminum I had laying around. Really easy fit with the...

That's the stuff Mr Brush. Steel wool is so 1960's. I also use the gold colour which is a bit more abrasive between coats. That or 800 granat paper.

Enfield guy is on the money with application....

Thanks mate. I use the raw as a first coat on all light timbers. It's the polyx with a white pigment through it. I knocks the yellow down a touch. You can use the raw for both first and second coat...

There's 6mm holes drilled in the bottom lip of the shelves to expose the angle and then it's screwed through angle into the shelf. The 6mm hole was then plugged and refinished. That's what I really...

Thanks mate. Domino's throughout. I was originally going to pull the shelves up to the boxes with screws and plug them to keep the dominos in the groove but it just didn't need it. It's all a very...

Thanks Graham,

The tapcons are rated for concrete, hollow block and brick. I used them rather than plugs for a number of reasons. They have a higher load capacity, the use a really small hole...

Thought people might find this project interesting. Recent commission out of Marri finished in Osmo Raw then semi matte Polyx oil. It's all stuck on the wall with Tapcon anchors with 25mm angle...

Thanks for that TTIT. Looks like a nice setup!

I've now pulled the trigger on my setup. Currently sitting here looking at my Jessem Mast R lift II which is quite a spectacular piece of...

Thanks guys. That's great news.

Lift is now ordered. Going to have a look for VFD's and motors today. I'm tempted to go for a 3kw spindle and drive but it's probably overkill. I don't have any...

I've just decided to go down this road myself. (This is a bit of a continuation from https://www.woodworkforums.com/f13/bosch-gof1600-ce-router-impressions-184104/5 ).

So far I've decided on the...

Ha... sometimes things are just too easy!

G'dat TTIT, Finally got an ID on that plug for you.

It's a JST-PH connector. Can be a bit tricky to find but something like this...

I'm not sure it's going to be quite that expensive. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/351737210015 . Just need to work out which lift makes it possible to mount the 80mm can easily. I'm pretty short of...

G'day TTIT,

I never got around to working out the resistive network but should be easy enough for sure.

I'm really interested in the spindle you've got working in the lift. Any info you can...

Hey Chris.... Did you buy the swistec motor?? Is it ok?

Yep... That'd work (except for the bank balance).

Thanks Chris, might go down that route.

I seem to have this collection of routers now of which I only use the OF1400 and the Triton in the table.

Using it every day the under/over, switch off,...

Jury's still out as to whether they'll fit the Jess em lift with that diameter though.

Think I'll probably sell the Bosch and just buy a motor rather than fool around with it though.

Did you...

It's not too hard to do. Easiest way would be to order the switch board through spares (if you don't want to canibalise the original base). Whether it's worth it or not depends I guess. I'm starting...

I've done a lot of this (like 8L of epoxy, 475lm of Marri and 6L of Osmo) in the last couple of months with both the West System and 5 min Araldite. The epoxy filled voids in both instances take on...

Have a look at the Osmo range. I'm using them almost exclusively now. Great to use, all natural and very tough.

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161222/9c8a907e98586ecc16e2a9af86595706.jpg

Just for future reference, this is 2 coats of osmo raw on Marri. You can also dial the white down a bit by just doing...
