Hello,
Share something I've learn't of late. An idea to build on maybe....A way of raising panels with a stanley 45. Probably more appealing than my earlier idea using a stanley 55.
I'll try and show you what I mean with this series of pictures. here's the panel I cut with the 45.
Its possible if you setup the tool this way.....that is
- Just the single skate, but positioned offset on the other edge.
- remove the other sliding skate all together.
- add a deep face to your fence. Much easier to keep the thing vertical with more leverage.
Found it to be a very stable setup. Thankfully too, because you'll need it to be when cutting down into end grain..... ..the blade naturally draws the fence in tight.
But, with this setup you don't have a depth stop.....so you'll have to plane to lines....marking guage here scribing them in advance.
setup fence
I'd tackle the end grain first...so that the 'with' grain cuts latter will clean it up nicely.
Will need a tearout board though of some kind.......all I've done here is clamped up a bit of scrap of the same thickness to take the tearout.
Rip into it.
One end grain cuts done. Do the other side.
Hard part over. Now with both end grain cuts complete, can do the with grain cuts....just do both sides and its done.
I like the idea of using these raised panels for drawer bottoms too. Will try use myself when I get the chance.
the blades nothing special.
Can also do it with a stanley 55 or other ploughs.....but the 45 or 55 I've found to be best suited since the skates are higher and cut deeper into your timber as needed to cut the wider profiles as you may do for raising panels etc. .
Hope some of that be of some use. Have a good weekend.
