You might need that amount of force with dry timber - with fresh tanalised which is fairly soft you most certainly do not. No theory, just practice. the other thing is the DW manual actually states that the pressure should be reduced to 85 to 90 psi as does the manual in the Snecos I have. Scrit

Andy There is a rather basic formula for calculating spring back which can be used as a starting point, it is: s = r / p**2 Where: s = spring back at edge of curve r = rise of form in centre, e.g. the distance from the centre of the form to the highest point of the...

Well you go through fences and base boards so it is normal to make the fence from something like 22mm thick beech, pine, whatever is to hand as the centre bit won't last. Similary it is a good idea to cover the top surface of the table with a sheet of hardboard or 4mm MDF as a sacrificial top...

Surely Corian is just an acrylic/polyurethane co-polymer? If that's the case then acrylic scrap from the local signwriter's skip might do as well, although it wouldn't be as hard wearing as the UHMW-PE and I suspect Corian wouldn't be, either Scrit

I am going to disagree with you based on experience of running a DW full head nailer - quite a bit bigger than a 16g tool. I have a B&Q cheap compressor with a small tank which has been out and done a number of fence jobs over the past 4 years. The DW, like many other nailers, is rated at circa...

As bean points out Nylon 66 is normally horizontally milled, as is UHMW-PE, but the difference is that UHMW-PE will machine through a planer thicknesser with considerably less risk of kickback than the Nylon 66. It has the same sort of friction characteristics as PTFE (Teflon) and from my...

Unfortunately, Sean, Luna ceased manufacturing woodworking machinery something like 20 years ago. There was a firm in Sweden or Finland who did some spares a couple of years back, but I can't find any reference to them on the web any longer :x To be frank I think you'll struggle with a...

Yes, which is why I personally try to give a critique from a wood machinist's technical perspective as opposed to just a gut reaction. If you choose to share your ideas in a relatively interactive public forum such as this then by default you are inviting some form of response, both positive and...

Hafele do a pop-on dowel connector system reference 267.85.030 or 267.20.700 which will do the job. Or what about double-sided foam tape (the 3M industrial stuff used in car body shops, etc) . That stuff sticks like, well I'm sure you know what, but allows some movement, too. Also what about...

Don't be so sure! Sheesh kebab, anyone? :roll: Scrit

Oh, I think I can do better than that, Dave...... :twisted: I agree with you on the guarding issue and on the point about the probable inability of the cutter to withstand any side load. My concern is not so much that the "shaving action" will cause side loading, more the fact that putting...

Well Caol Ila is my favourite, partly because I had a few years working for Distillers in the 1970s and got the chance to visit some of the bonds and distilleries. As a result acquired a taste for the single malts :roll: . After Caol Ila I'd probably plump for Edradour, which despite not being...

A point to note might be the weight of this stuff. The Wilson P/T for example is over 1/2 tonne (so a bit heavier than your Lyndhurst, Byron - cast iron frame, you see). So if you're interested in bidding I'd suggest budgeting £500 or more to get a machinery mover in - you'll need one! The...

I've tried the Dragon blades. The welds are not as well done as the Dure-Edge ones IMHO (althogh much better than APTC who make very second-rate blades) and they (Dragon) left me singularly unimpressed with their "technical advice" as they were unable to quote a beam strength which for a larger...

Hi OJ I've owned one of these so I'll give you the best I can from memory. There should be a ball knob to one side of the planer outfeed bed which is pulled out and the table flipped up through about 120 degrees to thickness. At that end of the frame (the end with the thicknesser depth...

Just a technical point here. Melamine is a resin applied to a sheet of backing material such as chipboard or MDF using a paper strengthener. Formica is one company out of many making decorative laminates, others include Abet Laminati, Polyrey, Wilsonart, Pfleiderer, etc. However, for tasks such...

The best known thicknessing attachments were actually patented by a long defunct firm called Gabro and the ones shown in the Multico link were of that pattern. The Myford version is a bit different with a box section to support the thicknessing plate. These attachments were in effect banned by...

Just because it will accommodate at 25mm blade it doesn't mean to say it will tension that blade adequately. Experience tells me that to tension a 25mm blade you need the sort of frame rigidity that only comes with a 500 or 600mm wheel fabricated steel saw (or a cast-iron frame machine) -...

They only shut down for a very short period. They're back again with a slightly reduced range, but the quality is a high as ever Scrit
