Attaching the fins to the main table top. The slot made from the section I cut out is perfect to drop some clamps into to enable me to clamp the fins. Now time to work on the base. Rough cut the material on the bandsaw. I am using the same technique with the wedges and a template. This time...

The slots. My circle jig has a 30mm wide slot running down it in which a guide bush on the router can slide. This will enable me to cut the slots accurately. I had to come back and manually cut the slots right to the middle. I made a small rebate in the fins so that they sit over slots...

The table top. Planning up and sanding the segments to final thickness. I am using my spindle to accurately shape each segment. The template has 10mm recessed holes in which I use a 10mm drill to transfer screw marks to the top. The template is then screwed to each piece. Grain...

I tasked myself to build a 'top table' for my wedding. On telling my now wife this I was met with: 'Your just doing this to get out of other jobs..' Which was true. ;) I built some cake stands a few years back and wanted to base the table on this design. I wanted to make it from solid oak as I...

I posted on a similar thread a while back: https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/jet-22-44-consumables.124805/

It's been a while since I was in the market for a VFD but would something like this work with your current motor? 220 single phase in 380v three phase out.

I had some parts which I had to put a chamfer on both sides. One side going with the grain cut beautifully and other side chipped out horrendously. I came across this bit from CMT that's cuts both top and bottom chamfers at the same. This means you don't need to flip the part. Can now cut all...

I modified my sander to run standard width paper belts. I use Mirka Juplex paper for this. To stop the paper from tearing I use 3M aluminium tape on either end where it connects the the drum. (Prevents the paper from tearing.) I cut a strip of tape about 2" long and stick it on the paper side...

My process: Sanded wood to 180. Apply first coat of stain. Sand lightly to remove raised grain. Second coat of stain. First coat fo varnish Lightly sand using Mirka Miron pads Final coat of varnish.

I was looking for the same thing and came across people using watered down acrylic paint as stain. I tried it and it worked great. You need to water it down quite a bit and I would recommend testing on samples. I applied two coats of this stain to get this effect on Birch Plywood. It's nice as...

I did the same with my planer blades when sharpening them myself. It's nice to see progress up close. Original thread: Drum Sander Planer Blade Sharpening Jig Before: IMG_0531 by jamie skinner, on Flickr After: IMG_0535 by jamie skinner, on Flickr

I use Autodesk Fusion 360 for modelling and creating all the tool paths. There is a free version for 'non business' use which has all the features you need. What are you intending to make? If sign making then you should look at V carve too.

Not sure on how the control works on yours exactly. However have you checked to see if the speed control knob is attached to the shaft and not just spinning on it. I just had the same thing with my drum sander conveyer speed control. It turned out the grub screw attaching the knob to the shaft...

I would go away and do some research on youtube on how to set these types of machines up. A video will show you exactly what to do and most of the processes are very similar across different machines. It will be a lot easier to understand than us trying to explain via text. Key words: Diode...

I have had mine a long time so I cannot find the link. However it looks similar to this one: LINK Have a look on aliexpress as there are a wide variety of models with different price points, then google the model to see if others have bought it to get a review of it.

If that's all you are doing all you need is a diode laser. Get the highest wattage you can afford: More power=quicker to engrave. I bought a cheap £100 from aliexpress with a size of 600x600mm. Use lightburn as the software to control and it is fairly straight forward.

Wouldn't recommend it unless you were to maybe screw it on using slotted holes. Depends on the size as well. If it were me I would add end grain strips to the the side of it. Just means a little more work. Id also be careful of gluing the board if it has any finish applied to it. Depends on...

I use a henry and cyclone for the majoity of my power tools and works very well. Invest in a HEPA filter for it aswell. I also use it for my under table saw extraction with a modfied shroud on my Wadkin AGS. One thing to note is that currently I have an old type henry which I think is 1500...

I made one from some plywood. Pivots out of the way when not needed. Provides great above table extraction. Attaches to my low ceiling.
