And yes, I mean electrical ones despite router planes fitting the description :P. How versatile do you find the 1/4" routers? I have a Hitachi MV12E as my main router and there's no getting around the fact that with a hose and a flex attached it can be a real pain at times when I'm moving...

That's a really nice effect on the slate. What alser are you using?

Be very careful with what you believe the strength to be, fdm prints are far weaker than injection moulding. When you're designing something consider the layer lines in the same way you would grain - put a force perpendicular to the layer lines and it's very strong, drive a force between them...

Your big problem here will be the tool heating up and melting the guide. Sadly I don't think this is one for printing.

Been on and off building a PrintNC the last couple of years but life keeps getting in the way. I'm building it as much for the joy of building it as having a definitive end requirement, but it'll be great for detail addition on large panels etc and I have a 3d printer community that will love...

Yea I wouldn't rely on a printer being enclosed to keep the dust out. It's enclosed to keep some heat in, it's by no means a sealed unit.

Pure meths wouldn't, but in the UK we add purple dye and a bitter additive to stop people drinking it. Ipa is best as your regular option, and if the surface needs a periodic refresh then a wipe with acetone and/or a light scuff with scotchbrite will do wonders.

I'd use ipa rather than meths as you'll get a residue with meths.

If you're not looking to tinker much then you will struggle as there's still a strong element of that in consumer printers. At that price point a Prusa Mk3 or Mk4 would serve you well - they're famously reliable, have a huge userbase, and it's all open source so you're not locked into any...

I like the ideas of recessing strips at the bottom (I've always done them flush, never thought about just using them to fill the gap when closed) and using a vee cut to blend any lopping strips. Stealing those ideas! Frames could be a nightmare, you could muck up plaster and decorating finish...

Not quite, I could do that with a core box, it would have a flat section too. Yes! I'll see if I can find a 10mm now I know what they're called, thanks.

I can't find this so I'm hoping it wouldn't be a custom router bit job. I've got a load of matching to do that will allow a piece of timber with a radiused corner to snug up against another piece. Now I could do it as a two part operation with a flat bit and then a core box cutter, but I was...

True, it's as much to settle the turmoil in my own head as anyone elses! So if I'm following you right, it'll just look like some doors have a thicker frame head piece at the top, but the architraves will all align (top edge) to the same height? I do, that's what comes from rarely using the...

The tallest are matched to the door, the smaller will require a door trimming down. Thanks to everyone so far, sounds like you're in a similar mind to me.

True I could vary height on the frame, could probably get another 5mm back without it being even vaguely obvious. Not sure what you mean by ripping the top though, it's all fixed in.

Floor level was fine, no issues found on the report!

I was so chuffed with myself. I've been fitting oak frames and doors in my place, and these last few I've got spot on - in wind, perfectly parallel, square header, the lot. Really chuffed. Context: I did these as two batches due to life getting in the way. So anyways, I stand back to admire...

Having taken a nice big gouge out of wood before, bearings on cutters can fail. Rare, but definitely rage inducing if it happens (it's not the bearing that fails per se, but if it sticks it can undo the screw). Still use them though! I also have many bottom trim cutters but none with bearings...

All definitely European. Yea it's a faff but I love the effect :). Architrave is a half round so it's not too bad on a router table. It's not a perfect fit but we'll within the tolerance for a dab of wax.

Architraves darker. I don't so much hate it as it doesn't feel right to me - if I was making a single object then I'd always try to match the wood.
