Up and running

[JFC]

Well the electrician came around today and fitted the supply for my spindle moulder The electrician and his apprentice hid behind the router table like little girls while i switched it on for the first test , i then joined the electricians behind the router table :-$ 8-[ I then spent the rest of the day switching it on and off and hiding behind the router table while calling forum members who delighted in telling me differant ways this machine can cut my fingers off :shock:

 

[LyNx]

nice one :wink:

I have seen this happen, the kiddy didn't pay 100% and the inside of the fence had flesh and blood mixed in with the shavings.

For some reason, he went a "dulux brilliant white" after that :?

 

[engineer one]

so this is the new way of feeding wood. throw it at the spindle moulder and then hide whilst you hope that it gets moulded :twisted: :lol:

good luck and safe working

paul :wink:

What a bunch of big girls blouses you all were! :lol: When I were a lad it were mens tooling, square cutter blocks and slotted collars, real dangerous stuff, none of this namby pamby safety tooling nonsense...... Me? I haven't told JFC any ways to remove his digits on it - although I did describe a useful way to trim one's finger nails with a TCT rebate block :wink:

ill bet you were waiting with wood in hand to put sommat through it
have you moved the rest of the workshop about to accomodate it ???
oh and how is mr grimsdale coping with the router table that the spindle moulder replaced :lol:

scrit
we had a planer/jointer in the workshop that had a square cutter block
when i were a lad
bloody thing used to frieghten you to death with all the storys going about
apparantly , they used to pull you in { now wheres that smiley being sick}

jason
use the fences and hold downs, concentrate , and enjoy

 

[JFC]

Paul , i'm thinking of adding 90% waste to my jobs , this way i can mould the end of a 3m lenghth and have a 2m offcut . Hows that for safety :lol:
On a serious note , i do like to go over a whole machine a few times and also like to get used to the sound of it running before i go anywhere near it for cutting or what ever it's use is . Do others do this with a new machine or am i a bit odd :shock:


P.S what's happened to the spell checker ?

 

[engineer one]

i knew there was madness in your method :lol: :lol:

interested in your maths, 1 metre of a 3metre length :twisted:

as for other question do you really want an answer :roll:

mind you it is always interesting to hear noises when it's running light.

Have you seen the film "Fargo" where the body was disposed of in a machine and squirted all over the snow?
That was a spindle moulder. :shock:

cheers

I believe it was a wood chipper :shock:

That was a spindle moulder. :shock:

.....with a square cutter block :twisted:

if i did not know you guys better i would think you were trying to tell us that a spindle moulder is dangerous even in the hands of someone sane???? :twisted:

are you sure you wanted to know all this jason :? :roll:

paul :wink:

paul :wink:

I wonder if Jason has tested by screaming when the machine is running to see if he can be heard by anyone? :wink:

 

[RogerS]

nah...they'd think it was something he was listening to on the radio. Either that or his guitar playing

 

[JFC]

What a bunch of big girls blouses you all were!

I will have you know i was the one that put his arm around the router table to turn off the spindle with the broom handle !

 

[engineer one]

actually jason what i am trying to figure out is where this spindle moulder is, and did your broom handle have a white flag on the end :twisted: :lol:

unless after the fire you really emptied it, surely there is no room for the spindle moulder, a router table, you and the leckies????? :roll: :roll:

paul :wink:

and also like to get used to the sound of it running before i go anywhere near it for cutting or what ever it's use is . Do others do this with a new machine or am i a bit odd :shock:

Just turn up the volume on the radio to match the noise of the moulder

Wait till you have a 150mm X 100mm cornice profile cutter block on, you'll be hiding outside the workshop

Enjoy

JFC Wote...

You may be strange, but I do it also and to really add to the sadness, I used to do some long distance HGV1 driving and at night I would listen to the sound of the engine rather than the radio for potental changes in sound and subsequent problems....

Not sad at all. A change in engine note can and often does denote a potential problem. Or maybe I rode (pushed?) British bikes for too long.....

I also consider that normal. I picked up a problem from the water pump just by listening, and a host of other things. Bearing going in the gearbox etc.
