Buggered all round then, really!

But it still won't be square. The only way you're going to get true square corners (without recourse to laser cutting) is with a morticer, indexing the set-up wouldn't be difficult, just very, very time-consuming and life is too short for stuffing that kind of mushroom!

Take your point for the hobbyist, but I only very rarely use mine for sheet material. It's the accuracy and consistency of cut that it allows that makes it so valuable an accessory, particularly where an offcut of stock between blade and fence (when cutting tenons, say) can be such a dangerous...

And do yourself a big favour and beg, borrow or steal enough to buy the sliding table that goes with it.

You're a pipper for punishment! Why don't you just go to... http://www.jali.co.uk/

I had this problem on two DeWalt planer/thicknessers a few years back - on the original AND its replacement, supplied because the first one was pretty useless after about two months, the replacement going after more or less the same length of time. The feed roller was rubber. I've had the SIP...

14mm (4-6-4) d/g units aren't cheap if you want to comply with regs, although if you don't tell the LBCO I won't! I now have to get mine in 'Planitherm' and to have them gas-filled then the wait is two weeks because there aren't many manufacturers making them. Problem is, a lot of d/g unit...

It's a straightforward job within the capabilities of any competent chippy. It's a job that will crop up a couple of times a year. Just cut off (router recommended, with a template cutter to bring flush with the inside surface of the frame) the existing 'rebates'. (Don't mess around with the...

Be sure they're not dry-glazed with glazing tape, which can give the impression of there not being any seal between the wood and the d/g unit. But whatever is there, you can seal the edges of the bead with a clear sealant, but use an ACRYLIC sealant (it will be marked as 'overpaintable') because...

A table saw will do everything a bandsaw does (excepting curved cuts), plus a lot more, like rebating - although you will have to remove the guard for that. Hard to imagine even an amateur doing much woodwork without having to cut rebates at some time, but I guess you all use a rabbetting cutter...

You may find that the glazing rebate is for single glazed, it's impossible to tell from the photograph. However, that said, such doors will often take a 14mm unit without having to mess around with the mouldings/bead, I've just done it for a customer, although a lot of unit manufacturers won't...

SIP 10" with sliding table.

You don't actually have to scribe the bars. You can do it the way they used to do it way back and mitre the point on the bar where the joint occurs. It's not easy to describe in words! Put the moulding all the way along both bar(s). Mark off the width of the moulding diagonally at each corner...

Could only have come from an Oz source. :D :D

Ray, is there ANY truth in the story that the Triton was designed by a one-armed Australian chippy? I just laughed when I was told that, but you seem to know enough about the machine to tell us either way! :D
