I'm 173cm and started with a standard 900mm bench, but that left me hunching over to see fine detail when sanding or working with hand tools so I jacked it up to 1050mm and my back was much happier

Apparently they rely on the natural lignin in the material; it melts at 170C (340F), so I'd imagine you'd want to get over that.
From what I've been able to find online, MDF production presses...

Gotta disagree there. A poorly filtered extractor will just take the dust from a small area, potentially chop it up even finer, then spew it out over a larger area.

Not saying that's necessarily...

Except it doesn't move enough air to be useful on a bandsaw...just because it fits, doesn't mean it works

Painted = MDF.

I think he's just a bit cross with it :p

Not sure if this is spalting or not, but something has definitely changed these bits of US White Oak, not just in colour, but it's much denser and smells sweeter as well.

Ummm... thread date 10th Aug 2004?

I've found that the best rust preventative is to actually let the whole thing rust, then scrub it off with a stainless kitchen scouring ball. This leaves a dark patina that seems to be much less...

When I say "solved" I mean there are proven solutions available on the market, not necessarily that they're widely implemented.

Didn't want to rain on the party, but yeah...the problem has pretty much been solved by the industry already.

If it helps, this bed has 120mm high rails with 230mm under the rail.

You will also need a centre rail to support the slats for a king size.

Do not buy either of them, they will not do what you want because you need VOLUME to get proper extraction on machinery. 1hp units are basically paperweights with a fan (IMO it shouldn't even be...

Is your sander a plain orbital (rectangular) or random orbital? Plain orbital sanders are not very useful for rough work in general and have relatively poor dust extraction, so no matter what paper...

Yep

3-phase gives you access to more powerful machines that are designed to remove a lot of material fast. The downside is that the cost goes up in to 5-figure territory because, aside from the machines...

I'd say the chance of finding parts is exactly zero. The handle would cost more than the entire clamp to buy as a spare part.

Don't forget to factor in dust collection; 2hp is minimum viable, don't even consider a 1hp collector.

Helical head is a HUGE advantage, not just for noise and finish, but also for managing chip...

Basically, no. The capacity of the smallest diameter in the system is all the air you'll get out of it.

We did that with a 2" brush at my old work for moulding ply, I was there for 10 years and used the same brush the whole time. Just make sure you get one with a stainless bristle-clampy-thing or it'll...

Ah that makes sense...except it then works out around 3x the price to get 2 panels worth of glulam :/

2x 1.8m lengths of the glulam comes to just under $300
2x 18mm thick panels comes to $92

Honestly no idea, I've never used a wooden plane so I don't know how it would behave.

Merbau is notorious for "leaking" resin/tannins, the heat from the friction has probably caused it to harden on the sole of the scraper.

You could try increasingly aggressive solvents to get it...

Well in that case he REALLY needs to clarify, because Bunnings don't do laminated timber panels in anything other than 18mm as far as I can see

You're gonna have to tell us who BGS is because there's a whole lot of stuff showing up on google that has nothing to do with timber panels...

Chris, your stop button would satisfy the requirements on its own

I seem to remember a little German socialist party in the 30s that wasn't very socialist :rolleyes:

Call around to local sheet goods suppliers, they will be the best ones to ask. I've found some thick CD ply on the East coast, but freight to you will probably be a killer.

Keep in mind that...

Beats me... Perhaps the standard off switch was deemed sufficient on the other machines?

The standard is the 2014 revision, so might have been different if your machines are older than that?

We installed 4 of them (the Jet version, but they're all the same) at work and it made a huge difference to the air quality (measured with eyes and nose, not a particle counter :wink: )

I see 16, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50mm, how many more sizes do you want? :?

I would say yes, duty cycle is based on 10 mins, so that is 4 mins load, 6 mins no load or 40%.

Yep, almost definitely a legal requirement.

My old work had some 6m gal pipe clamps and if they slipped you'd just give the release lever on the sliding jaw a tap down to make it really bite, then you could swing off the screw with a 2' bar...

Because that's the easiest place to reach it when in use.

Many (all?) industrial machines have the 2 pins, but it's really only necessary with quick-change blade locking systems; the standard left-hand nut is self-tightening and will not slip in use.

You could try bicarb soda, that's a pretty common odour remover. I doubt it will get it entirely, but it can't hurt.

Kinda; it affects how much of the cabinet side is covered by the door when closed, but there's usually 2-3mm of adjustment so you can probably tweak it after assembly.
