    Shaper Origin owners?

    Ive got one & the workstation too. Mostly used so far (only had it 3m) for cutting joints. Nice & accurate but not something for production imo (too slow). I design in f360 and export my drawing from there to svg. Plugin makes it somewhat faster.

    Campervan cabinetry - ply & MDF novice Q's

    That's actually not true anymore since the definition of camper was made more subjective a few years back. You cant reclassify your van now, so instead its left open to interpretation (& argument) on whether a converted van is a camper (hence subject to car limits) or a van. Read this. The key...

    Mirka Deros 650 Extractor Port - Thread Specifications

    I printed this a few weeks ago and it works well. 2mm walled PLA, probably even better in TPU if you can be bothered to get settings down. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4650307

    Campervan cabinetry - ply & MDF novice Q's

    Weight depends a lot on the base van's spec. Assuming it's a VW.... T32, you will be fine unless you go nuts, T30, be a bit careful, T28, think VERY hard. I did mine with bamboo ply carcasses which I laminated with melamine on the doors, car lacquering the exposed wood. 5y on, it's proven very...

    Remote control socket for twin motor camvac

    I have one of these: Dust extractor remote control switch 230v and 110v It's excellent, if a little pricey. Proper contactor job.

    Festool CTL CLEANTEC MIDI Dust Extractor

    I have the mini version with cyclone on top. It's excellent. Cyclone means pressure stays constant and reduces (expensive) bag use. Bluetooth remote is SO useful. I have a large semi-permanent hose to my mitre saw and smaller mobile one for router, track saw, ROS etc.

    Cabinet fronts for vans - best method?

    I used bamboo ply in mine + formica facing. 7mm ply for panels, 12mm for carcasses, absolutely rock solid.

    Which wheeled base for new Bandsaw - Laguna 14BX

    yes, if you have a 240v beside the machine (I dont, just a 16A). Tbh I had no idea uk version omitted the auxillary power - not a huge deal, but annoying.

    Which wheeled base for new Bandsaw - Laguna 14BX

    UK version doesn't have the 240v output on the side of it for the lamp unfortunately (the us version does). Or at least the 18x doesnt have it.

    Tersa blade - what type to buy?

    If you have a standard block (where the blades mount to) you cant / shouldnt use Tersa blades. You need a specialised block for them.

    Casting resin in aluminium?

    Given most curing is exothermic.... not sure this is a good idea.

    Rutlands Warning!

    Ive bought a few things from them and generally had good experience with Rutlands CS. Vacuum clamps I bought then didnt use for a while (just had other things on) just wouldn't work. CS guy went through everything many times, replaced them and when still didnt work offered me a refund no...

    Construction techniques for van cabinetry

    Fair enough ofc, it'll work but i reckon is gonna be real overkill for a little bongo. If I was doing it in a rush for someone else Id probably use 9 or 12mm ply with corner blocks, especially in a small van like a bongo. Make the cabinets, scribe to fit, bolt into double skinned metal (and...

    Construction techniques for van cabinetry

    15mm ply is way overkill. I converted my T6 2y ago. combination of 8mm & 5mm bamboo ply, lacquered finish / melamine laminate in places. Frame fit sliding doors and CNC cut to my design (slim cabinets, curvy edges). With a bit of planning and some willingness to recess its surprising what's...

    For me a screw on the wall wont work (Abranet doesnt have suction holes so nothing to attach to) and theyre cluttering up my drawers Im going to try these: Really Useful Box 7 Litre + Tray Clear Internal Dimensions: L 340 x W 307 x D 70mm so should be able to fit 4 stacks of 150mm discs in...

    Machine transport

    Uckfield to Frodsham, ~250miles each way so a fair trek. If a pallet stacker is hireable, nothing to stop me hiring that instead I guess.
