I made one using a Triton Wide Planer some time ago. Much quicker/better results. Harder to make though. Video: Build thread: (Final design at end) https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/my-portable-wide-slab-flattening-jig.117420/

I bought a small dial indicator, bit of 3D printing and some laser cutting to get the twin drums on my sander perfect. Ive tried feeler gauges and various other methods but the indicator is faster and more accurate.

Here are some of my end grain boards. Sussex based, made to order and in-stock boards available. Laser engraving options. www.skinnerdesigns.co.uk

As the ebonising isn't very deep you are correct in that it can wear away. Being that it has an oil based finish (Osmo top oil) it would also prevent new ebonising solution from soaking in. I haven't yet needed to re-blacken and this is something my clients are told when purchasing this specific...

As promised some photos. The grub screw is a little long but I tend to use what I have on hand. You don't need to adjust it every time you clamp, just initially so it bites the shaft of the clamp enough when the clamp is tightened to prevent slipping but loose enough you can still slide it...

I like my ebonising and use it a lot for my furniture and boards. Fine wire wool soaked in cheap white vinegar from Lidl. I usually leave it for a month or so so the wire wool has completely dissolved. No pre-washing the wire wool. I feel like vinegar is used for de-greasing/cleaning anyway...

Best way I found to fix these is to tap for a grub screw on the back of the part that slides up and down. Try to get the grub screw near to the top as this is where the pressure is applied when clapping. When tightening it will cause the grub screw to dig in to the shaft of the clamp and stop it...

I would recommend Mineral Oil and Board wax. Check my signature.

Thanks! This one worked much better: https://www.abtec4abrasives.com/560mm-x-1206mm-conveyor-belt-for-jet-22-44-sander-price-per-belt---5601206100-4790-p.asp

Thank you! It is the 20" with spiral head. Love it! I needed a machine that I could take a part fairly easily so that I could get it through the house. A struggle but got it there in the end!

I don't know if you saw my build of a table using wedge shaped pieces? Shows how I dealt with joining and wood movement. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/wedding-table-build-with-pictures.142343/

Tapped and new shaft in place. (Of course did not have the right length grub screws) Correct screws. Re installed in sander. I Loctite the grub screws in place. Worked a treat.

My Jet drum sander drive roller decided to snap on me so here is the fix I undertook to get it back up and running. The cause of failure for this could have been metal fatigue as the roller is under pressure from the conveyor belt. What did not help the fact is that a 'cheaper' aftermarket...

Workshop is a little busy at the moment so they are not great pictures. Wiring travels through the bent tube to the switches. Gundog Forge Grinder kit for anyone interested. I use this for sanding some of my wooden parts hence the 100mm extract attached. The parts have a radius of 10mm in one...

This Is the stand I made a few weeks ago. Made from 35mm 3mm wall box section with plywood shelves for the VFD and spare belts. Mine goes on castors as i need to move it. Perfectly strong enough but not heavy to move/lift. Ill get some pictures of the finished stand when I get home.

Attach some photos you may get a better response. Might just be the quality of this brand of saw.

Ive seen many people have the same experience as you have. I thought they changed the design to make it stronger. Obviously not.. I have the same planer as well. Seems a weak point on it.

Designed and quickly rendered in Fusion 360

Thank you! I had the very centre joints try to pull apart. Next time I would make my 3mm ply joiners go a lot closer to the centre of the table to aid strength. I think at the end of the day its going to move. Where ever you try to reinforce it the wood will find a weak spot to pull apart...

Once glued I mounted it to the cnc and cut the pocket for the bearing and then contoured cut the rest. A final heavy chamfer on both inner and outer edges. The piece was then ebonised and Oiled. Made a few bowls and plates to accompany the table. They have a threaded outer profile which...
