The good thing about Thicknessers with a segmented head is they are less likely to clog as the chips are very small compared to straight blades where the chips can be quite long if you are machining...

The only downfall with the Sherwood unit is they have unique inserts forcing you to purchase replacements from Timbecon. There is one other place that stocks aftermarket inserts now so that keeps the...

Very nicely done.

Very nice as usual and that's a big task you have taken on. I guess it keeps you off the streets. I hope you haven't worn out too many of those drilling jigs for the hinges:no: or if you have, do you...

Been a while since I posted anything here but I haven't been sitting idle, I just keep forgetting to take photos of items I make and then they're gone. This box incorporates a lid panel that I...

Well Paul, you can't help bad luck. People putting good timber in front of your nose and expecting that you might take it off their hands, they should be ashamed of themselves😏. But really, it's nice...

Easy mistake to make, 89 - 105 pretty close🤣😂

I have the Triton in my Router table and never use the above table winder. You have to reach down under the table to unlock the height adjuster so making the adjustment there is just as quick. I...

All good, transaction complete.

I'll take it thanks Chris. PM me your payment details and we'll make it happen.

I don't believe you will have a lot of success with the 2 wheel knurling tools as trying to get both wheels to indent evenly into the wood is going to be very difficult. If you look at the wheel in...

Just to back up your thoughts I took a couple of photos of one of these vices at my wood club today (sorry about the dust). It has no end play in the QR lever like yours originally had so it seems...

You could check with these guys. There are some links at the bottom of the page where you can get quotes once you provide them with your machine details. They do cutter blocks for many units and...

When you say you submitted a service request was that just an email inquiry? Sometimes emails don't seem to get seen by suppliers as it can end up in their junk folder which they might not look at....

I wonder whether you had more difficulty setting up the Musclechuck on the Triton due to poor machining on the armature shaft. As you saw, machining of the thread was poor on the Triton chuck.

Does the Musclechuck do as advertised and allow you to remove and refit the cutter with the same amount of runout each time?
I take it that there isn't movement in your cutter when machining that...

Hope all is good now Keith. It's even worse being crook when the weather is like we have now and you can't do what you love.😣

I just brought a sticky back hook & loop pad and cut it to suit the base plate. Now I can use the sandpaper with the velcro back and no clips.

A photo of how your motor is mounted may help to visualise all of what you are saying. Many machines run with the belt tension applied by gravity so I don't see that being your main issue. At my wood...

Very effective and well executed build. Are they little radii on all the edges of the segments?

My sister and family spent 12 years in what was Rhodesia and then Zimbabwe as missionaries. They went over with 2 children and when they returned home for good had 4, but none were African. Really...

Beautiful work. Looks like you put as much work in to that as you do your boxes. Just wondering why there is a lock on it when it's a free library?

Is this an older model as that No. isn't currently listed.

I would go for the DeWalt without question. They have an excellent fence system where it uses a rack and pinion to drive the fence across the table and keeps it parallel with the blade at all times...

Which Jointer do you have as there are 3 models listed on the site?

Excellent collaboration. That was a great acquisition to be able to finish off to your desired style.

Yes it seems like pens have run their race. I was part of an exhibition at the weekend where I sold a lot of product but only 2 pens, one of which was in a wooden presentation box to give it some...

It's so long since anyone has posted in this section that I didn't even see this exquisite pen. I can see why it took you so long to complete it. I don't know if you tell us in the other thread you...

These have been sold for years by Carrolls and if they weren't any good I'm sure they would have been discontinued by now.

Now I understand how it attaches. Because you can't see any other views of the chuck I thought the small diameter at the bottom was threaded internally to screw straight on to the shaft but now see...

Please correct me if I'm reading this wrong but doesn't the Type 8 Musclechuck do away with the need to use a chuck body all together as it appears to screw directly on to the armature shaft. Maybe...

Doesn't the Type 8 chuck fit your model?

Very nice design and well executed. Yes we all seem to want to do something as a challenge and when complete say, never again. At least we have proven we can do it once:B

Are you able to measure the diameter of the wheels? Even though it is a 150mm Bandsaw the wheels are probably larger than that. There are many 8" tyres available such as these and that may be what...

That's come up looking really good. I'm sure you will find many uses for it now you have it. I tend to use my router table 90% of the time compared to the hand held router as it's always set up ready...

The advice on the threads that aldav linked to should give the answers to your locking question by moving the plastic lever to a new position. Just be careful if moving the lever. After you remove...

Been watching him for a while now and he has some pretty smart ideas for those with small spaces.

This is a variant of one of the models specified in your blurb. It's on an Australian site but is 110V so would need a step down transformer. From my limited knowledge of round body Routers available...

The straight edged inserts definitely won't fit correctly as they need to seat up against the radiused pocket in the head and the Sherwood inserts have a unique angle on the cutting edge which...

Thanks all, there are a few ideas in there that I can pursue that are slightly different to what I have been doing.

Yes Pat, I try adding CA after the thread is cut and sometimes there is enough thread left that they will hold and other times not.
The 1/4" threads are 20 TPI and I have tried the recommended drill...

I am wanting to make some of the bottle stoppers that use the 1/4" or 8mm threads to screw into the wooden blank. I am having trouble when tapping the thread where the wood is stripping out leaving...

Looks great Crowie. A lot of work has gone in to that.

What I'm saying is that there appears to have been a problem in the early days with the controllers for both MOF and TRA Routers as both have failed for different people. They use different...

Your point being?

I changed my speed controller in my MOF about 10 years ago and it's still going strong so not all of them are faulty.

I only have the standard 3/4" track in my table. Not sure what you would use the multi track extrusion for. I have it mounted far enough in front of the router bit so that I can run my mitre gauge...

Looks like you achieved a good finish. How did you hold the bowl on the faceplate?
Next job might be polishing up and lubricating the bed so the components slide easily when you need to move them.

I saw some smaller versions of these in a shop in Salamanca Pl when in Tassie recently and wondered if you were the maker as I had seen you post them here some time ago.

Was going to ask why you want a speed control but I see you are now questioning it. Only router bits over 25mm need to be slowed down according to charts online.
Table is looking good but I think...
