I understand, moving these things around is not easy, I work on my own and have to call for help sometimes even to flip them over. 4 hours sanding seems easier but if I quicken that up, it makes more sense or even get an affordable machine in-house would be the ideal thing for me now.

Yes the products are definitely in demand, I am and the website is geared around custom design for example resin colour, wood type and character, shape and size, type and style of base/legs etc. Limited options but generally a product where no two are the same. I find that when I make them for...

That sounds good, I will definitely be in touch, taking kids to the park right now but will PM ASAP! Thanks 🙏🏻

I think you are right, something rigid and more aggressive for this stage would be great. The top has to be super flat, resin flush with wood and even. If not, when the resin is polished at the final stage, it reflects light like a plastic window rather than a glass window if that makes sense...

Thanks, I was wondering how they operate.

I will have a further look into these sanders, definitely seems more cost effective and a worthwhile investment. The T11 sounds ok, no unusual noise really. I guess I could shim the base for now to continue work, great idea. 👍🏻

Thanks for your advise there, I know little about the engineering parts as to be honest, I’ve had this router for 10 years or so and never once has it been looked at or let me down. I’m guessing sending it to someone competent to take a look at it wouldn’t be a bad idea really, sure it would...

Right, do you think that this could be the reason it is slightly tilted? It is always off on the same direction, tilting back although I use it sideways in the sled because the handles breach so it leaves ridges rather than concave if you see what I mean? If there is a good chance the bearings...

Thanks, I hadn’t seen these pad sanders before, I’m liking the price tag on it. I could stretch that a bit probably to get a decent one if it will do the job with reasonable accuracy. I’d need one that would do maximum of 8x4’ table top. I draw the line at this size making them because they are...

Loving these machines but again a healthy price tag. Do you think this one would work efficiently flattening out an 8x4 resin and hardwood top? Most of the machines I’ve seen look more heavy duty, these tables are a silly weight and tough to cut. I mostly use oak as it is the most commonly...

Thanks but I do have already a decent slab jig, thinking the router is one of the probs with it being slightly off alignment, it’s not helping me anyway so think that needs sorted out.

Good idea, trouble is it’s the only one I have that does the job, i guess it would be worth missing it for a bit, was thinking I could just buy another T11 and possibly use this one on a router table for doing other tasks, edge rounding or something less critical.

Think I know the YouTube guy you talk about, he makes some nice tables. I have approached a few wood mills and joiner shops but I either get no reply or simply told they are just to busy. Not much luck that way as yet. The width of these tables is much of the time too wide for the machines they...

Hand belt sander is a good shout actually, never thought of that, thanks! Yes I use a steel router sled with a trend T11 router. I think I could do with a new router actually because it is not as accurate as I’d like it to be anymore, it leaves one side slightly high, maybe half a mm or so but...

Yes, I looked at the wood Wizz, looks amazing, still allot more than I can afford at the minute. Your other post below about the slab master looks like a good step up to what I have at the moment. Impressive multi-function setup too!

Yes my thoughts about it at the moment too. I think it would work out well but the investment would be huge and as I have just doubled my workspace a year ago, I just feel that speeding up a bit for another year before going all out. I am at the point where for the first time, the business is...

Hi, thanks for your reply. I would love a CNC to flatten these out but yeah, maybe further down the line if things continue to go in the right direction. It would be the ultimate thing really. Currently I use a steel roller slab jig imported from the states which is rigid, with that I use a...

I currently run a successful yet small business making resin and hardwood tables and simply live edge hardwood tables. It is going so well with orders coming in way faster than I can make them, I cannot keep up at all. Business start up has been exhausting and certainly will take some time to...
