Aiden how much play did you allow on your slots as its 18mm ply did you allow a bit more than 18 say 19 or 20 ???
The slots are 20mm wide which with the corners eased seems to make a pleasing fit.
The plans are drawn on SoldWorks, but any CAD package could do it including plenty of free ones, it's not rocket science.
The plans should print out on two A4 sheets, maybe with an attempt or two. If there's anyone there with a conc or laser maybe they could make a few and distribute? You only need the template for a couple of hours to make it or less than ten minutes with a bearing guided cutter to make an exact copy...
Now there's a thought :idea:
I could make a master part from plastic or similar, send it to someone who copies their own version into mdf then send the master onto the next person, and so on. Now I know what I'm doing this week :roll:
Incidentally, I've been contacted by people in the USA, Canada and Australia over the last few days asking for the plans too, through Festool forums apparently, I took the opportunity to spread the word of Mafell :lol:
Please donate to my chosen charity, "The English Middle Classes" this exploited majority have suffered terribly over the last 100 years and
sometimes struggle to make ends meet, especially when even those on a engineer's salary are referred to by the nasty tax man as "high earners". You can see them sometimes on street corners asking for a few pence for a cup of bone-dry capuchino with cinnamon sprinkles, or a simple loaf of bread (preferably olive and rosemary focaccia with Maldon sea salt). Without them the very basis of civilization is at risk and before long the apostrophe will be used indiscriminately for plural nouns, "myself" and "I" will be interbred to such a degree that they will be unaware of their rich and diverse heritage. The worst fate will be that of the semicolon, for it is feared that it may already be too late for it to avoid extinction. So my friends, please give generously...
Aidan
If you have been affected by any of the issues in this post or think you too may be middle class take our simple test...
"there are 10 types of people, those that understand binary and those that don't"
If you find that amusing you may be middle class, or a geek.
