they do mate, but this isn't for actual drums, its for drum making tooling/jigs.... some will be 24" deep, some will be 8"... it varies greatly, it does not go up in any consistent scale of size but i tend to make most of my tooling/templates to the max, and the occasional smaller ones for the...

thanks kev, worry not, holding these things in place is something i am very experienced in.

yeah we are going to do a sled test cut. will happily detail more once i can, its not that interesting, but i have to scratch build everything in my game... and occasionally i get out of scope of my level of confidence when it comes to certain tasks... thanks man. G

just one side Ozi..

yeah id double clamp it anyway, we do when we cut straight down the middle, the funny thing is ply tubes dont ever seem to close on the blade, they have so much tension in how they are formed they open up away from the blade as you run down them, as the cut completes they spring open, so...

thanks for the help everyone, 2-3 replies saying the sled is the way given i dont need to the cut to twist round the tube.

unfortunately not the way drums are made, it just wont work... if ever you want to know more about drum shell construction or ply tubes, hit me up, been making them for 17 years :) cool thing, but id need a big lathe to do the 26 x 20" tubes. ... the cut does not have to run perpendicular to...

yes, and thats kind of what i was thinking from the start... but with a U shaped jig, a L will be much simpler

yes that was my thinking fully rasied blade, i work with drum shells so the guard is off most of the time, cutting them down in length (the most common job i do) means spinning the shell on the blade... cant do that with a guard on.... its horrifying i know :) its not a one off, it need to be...

everythings going up buddy, if its imported its flying up, import coast have gone up 10 x compared 18 months ago....

dont think i was clear in my post, mentioning rotating the tube, I'm not wanting to twist the cut round the tube at all.. im wanting to do a single straight line cut without any rotation or movement once that tubes in place, hence thinking a sled with the tube fixed in place... id probably need...

it looks very similar to one i had which was a Dodd machine.

hi Jacob, I'm a drum maker by trade so its a drum shell, i make them from 6" - 26" diameter the cuts are for to make a new piece of tooling/jig for my production, normally we split them straight down when we need to do this... but in this case i have another requirement which i can't detail...

Same wall thickness throughout, the angle may change, the exact angle does not matter so much .... on to sled design & thinking I go. thanks Kev

Hi guys I'm trying to work out how would be best to split this plywood tube.... any suggestions that i may not have come up with? i have split hundreds of them with a straight line, but a current task requires me to split the tube with an angled cut, the only way i can think to do it is make...

i have the old crown model & the IMO the extraction out the top of the guard is utterly useless.... even if i have a separate extractor hooked up under & then one over all the dust flys straight backwards past the extraction port.... i think thats why it was binned off... its also a pain to...

if not MRMDF, (though its my choice, esp on the cnc ) the alternative is ring up a sheet pannel supplier and ask for any "router grade" MDF. any reputable supplier will know your needs instantly, they will supply one of the denser variants of MDF.... .. if i dont need MRMDF and they are out, its...

tapping head for sure, i had a similar one.

lathams and lawcris will both sell to public though you may have to collect as they’re is usually a minimum order amount for delivery

Lawcris or James lathams panels are both Local to Leeds , I don’t buy veneered ply as I do my own veneering but I’d have thought both could help... the both sell veneered product and both do many types of ply
