Do all the router work on a longer piece and then cut it to length?

I think I can see where the business model went wrong :?

Be careful with this it is a a big exposed blade. Also check the distance from the tip to the spindle as if you are making frames for 57mm casements it might not reach the back of the rebate. I find the bearing guided router cutters a better choice

Not always, but it is permissible as long as you form an effective guard and work holding device by other means such as shaw guard or a tunnel that prevents your hands getting near or the wood taking flight. I have a sliding table and my saw tilts to the right so I can clamp the cill to the...

TBH I think that unless you are making windows all the time a Cill block is a luxury that can be avoided. The alternative options are: 1. tilt the spindle (not my favourite option as that is a lot of block exposed) 2. Cut on the Table saw with the blade tilted and then plane up 3. set the fence...

I think I would return it to the room. It is not worth the risk. A day could turn into two weeks. We only need weather like we currently have and you would be in a mess.

That is a good idea. Concentrate on these. The spindle is a machine that needs a lot of skill to operate and make jigs. I would park the spindle and spend the year learning the hand skills. You will then find you have a far better appreciation of machines generally and the spindle in particular.

Several have this and say it is good http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-ho ... eal-717658 I have this http://www.axminster.co.uk/jet-dc1100a- ... eal-717141. I think it is good others have mixed views

If you do not have to worry about pollution and neighbours then a cyclone and duct to the outside with no filter will work well.

A cyclone does not make more suck, in fact there is a loss of efficiency. A cyclone will separate the chipings from the air. So a cyclone and a large container will reduce the number of times you have to empty the bag but that is all. If it is what you have then use it and see how it works...

Extracting to the outside is an excellent aim if you can do it. Your 16inch thicknesser will need at least 1000cfm at the point of extraction from the machine. You then have to consider the length of duct and bends you will loose 25% even on an efficient designed system. Ideally you want 200mm...

I would make the top out of one species, beech would be sensible and the frame could be a mix of species say oak legs and cherry rails. Whatever works best

Performance figures from the various manufacturers need to be taken with a large pinch of salt and examined very carefully to ensure they are comparing like with like. For instance the m3/hr figure is often quoted based on 150 or 200mm port whereas most machines that you connect to only have...

The biggest Festool extractor does 3900 litres per second which sounds a lot but is only 234 M3/hr. Your jet thicknesser says it needs 1500M3/hr. So even if you could fit a cyclone, thein or other separator the theoretical suction is one sixth of what you need. You then need to factor in the...

No it's not necessary to have dust extraction. The planer will block up in seconds and the shop will fill with fine dust and big piles of chipings. Alternatively you could care about your health and read all the posts about wood dust causing cancer and other respatory fatal illnesses and then...

Steve, you can never totally remove the risk, save for abandoning woodwork! You can only reduce the risk. If there are any additional measures I can take I would be only to pleased to here suggestions. I know that on my SUVA the right hand side does not go all the way to the table so thin...

I am not sure there is a distinction. I watched the video and I am not pursuaded. I would define kickback as any thing where the saw blade is able to cause the material being cut to be driven with force back towards the operator. Whether the cause of it is the material being caught on the...
