Slowly getting there ....

[rspsteve]

Had a few days off over the weekend and spent most of it in my "Shed"

Started setting up my Kity1619

Then I removed the right hand tables , my plan is to fir a router table there .

drilled the runners

cut some 25mm ply

made a 15mm rebate so I can bolt the 1st 25mm board and let the fence move over it.
then cut the 2nd bit.

going to cut the top board and rout it out so the table fits flush ...had to remove a few mill off the router table.

also finished my work bench ...not pretty and its the 1st thing I have ever made ....be gentle with me..

And one of the mess that is my "shed"

Slowly getting there still loads to do but really enjoying it so far .

all comments welcome good and bad..

Ps also got a complete sliding table assembly off a schappech presisa 3 to fit ..I think it will go on but I will have to get the blade tilt handle modified.

Looks like a great work space Steve, (hammer)

that bench looks solid and functional and impressive for a first build

Nowt wrong with the bench. It's flat and stable? So it will work.

Ahh your rails are similar to the axi ts200 ones. When i did my router top, i had the main section the same depth as the saw top. The glued a 6mm piece of mdf to the bottom, creating a support for the top to sit on the rails and leave a space for the fence.

Thanks guys .

Carl my top is 50 mm so 2 bits of 25mm seemed logical to me... I made a rebate on the table saw for the fence clearance..happy with it so far .

Thats a good looking project Steve, and don't worry about the mess in the shed. Nobody believes there are tidy woodworkers

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

Agreed.....dam fine looking bench that...I would be very happy to score a few accidental kerf cuts in that baby any day. Just missing one thing.....tea cup rings

 

[Grahamshed]

Give him time Bob, he is still settling in

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

I build the tea cup rings into my sketchup plans

 

[Grahamshed]

=D> =D> Ahh yes. You cannot beat forward planning.

 

[rspsteve]

Thanks chaps...tea rings will be on it within a week..lol

I build the tea cup rings into my sketchup plans

When I first started work I was on a drawing board, it was always reckoned that the drawing wasn’t approved until it had the
foreman’s coffee cup ring on it, so when we went over to CAD the coffee ring was one of the first things we drew up.

looking good on the saw.

Had a few hours off today so had another play with the table saw ....got the sliding table from the Schappach presisa 3.0
after first fitting i realised that the presisa has the tilt control handle on the right side not the left!
So a guy local to me modded it by extending it ...not ideal but at least it works now .
Just need to remove a grub screw to remove it completely .

Also started on the router table to the right hand side.

2 layers of 25mm ply fits perfectly 1st I cut the 2 pieces to size then marked out and routed out for the trend table then with a jigsaw
cut the hole for the router also gave it a coat of varnish ....here is the result so far .
