    The bench build WIP. First plane! Pg4.

    Good luck with that ;-) We'll see you back for the reversal later! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    Also cannot see the word Excalibur anywhere on there. It always was a rebadged machine, however the logo was fairly distinctive.

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    Yer, It just hadn't occurred to me to even think about what the tilt was... First I have to get it set up, always the frustrating part as you really want to get on and play with it, but can't cut corners... Also it has a commando plug, so I need to get a caravan adaptor, Amazon said 4-12 days...

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    ](*,) The table slopes away based on setup, the rail, i put a pencil on top and it rolled off... loads of things, but yer, obvious. Yes, it tilts away, hadn't thought about that...

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    Leveling feet for the insert are nice, however as there is also a screw/nut at the back, and a hex bolt at the front, you have 6 points of contact. So any adjustment to one means not all points are touching, and it's rather fiddly. me-thinks a triangle might have been better, or just the...

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    The mitre seems fairly decent, although I will mostly use the sliding table, it's nice to have this. Officially known as "take out the slop, and also render 4 mins of workshop essentials unnessential mechanism" ;-) Wheels are big, solid, smooth and lock easily.

    What tilts away from the fence?

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    Argh... i attached another 8 pics and after the 7th one it logged me out... how annoying, i was hardly inactive for a period... If i move the fence down, then it hits the table. One could move the rail up, however there is a limit at the edge of table, and one of the bolt holes is a notch, not...

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    The saw - tables are not leveled yet, as usual that's a painstaking and boring job. As per any machine, the final tighten always shifts it, and i have managed to mash the threads on a bolt already. The rip fence, aluminium t-track attachment, solid. very. Adjustment top front and back on...

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    Yes, although the riving knife tool free change does mean making zero clearance inserts either requires an extra hole, or that you remove the insert to change the knife. As you did this before anyway, you wouldn't notice. The fence is now aluminium rather than plastic, which allows T track and...

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    Ok. got it now. The black outer extension (pressed steel) gets attached to the front and back rails. Makes sense now. If I do attach the other cast iron table I will need some legs yes. First impressions are very good indeed. Coming from a really bad saw set up wise this is so nice. Every...

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    Sure, i was just hoping to add it to the right side to increase the range. However still not sure how the black extension piece goes in, especially with that lip. Perhaps it's intended to allow a shim for "inevitable" sag...

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    It does. However there's no mention of the extra table, and the sliding table manual makes no mention of how to use the removed wing... I will probably have to drill and tap in the end.

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    I got my new excalibur today, looks like a solid piece of kit. It comes with two wings and a black extension table. I have the sliding table, which means i was hoping to get two wings plus extension on the right hand side. However i notice that the wings only have holes on one side, and the...

    The bench build WIP. First plane! Pg4.

    That was my point :-P Also he's only going to use it for playing with cars and stuff, so really he wants to build a work table. which is fine. No hand planing boards flat.

    So it seems you are building a table rather than a workbench ;-)

    I also recommend you get the book on benches before you embark on this. £15 on Amazon, or go to library, and they will do you an ILL (Inter Library Loan) if it's not in your local one, and it will be sent from another library where they do have it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listin ...

    Does cascamite really go off?

    Ok for me two years is plenty. Sounds like measuring out into small baggies and vacuum sealing would be ok. Then I know each bag has a fixed amount. As long as the drug inspectors don't come round! I ordered some small vacuum bags with my bag sealer and they came in the thousand. I still have...
