    Spindle moulder: spindle diameter and tooling

    I got this from the factory this morning: Maximum tooling diameter with Standard Hood: 280 mm Maximum Tooling Diameter with Tenon Hood: 330 mm Given that the most common spindle diameters for spindle moulders appear to be 30mm and for 4 siders 40mm, and it will allow me to have HSE compliant...

    Spindle moulder: spindle diameter and tooling

    320mm? Damn. Just looked at the manual and it says max profiling tool diameter 250mm but the spec on the invoice says max table opening 350 x 80. Now I am confused, I realise they are two different things but it seems like a big hole for a max tool diameter of 250mm...

    Spindle moulder: spindle diameter and tooling

    The spindle diameters on the 4 sider is 40mm. Your advice has given me something to think about. I have noticed that 30mm seems the most common. Given that the two machines would be doing different jobs and would be running at the same time, I'd need tooling for both so if one set were 30 and...

    Spindle moulder: spindle diameter and tooling

    I'll be using the 4 sided planer moulder to do the long sides of the flooring but the t&g on the ends will be done on the spindle moulder. Take a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfGDvcD ... detailpage That's the type of flooring I want to make.

    Spindle moulder: spindle diameter and tooling

Among the machines I have ordered from CMC Italia is a spindle moulder with the following specifications: ‐ Fixed working table dimensions mm 1100 X 640 ‐ Sliding table dimensions mm...

    Help me spend £20k on a small joinery workshop!

    It has been a while since I first asked for your advice on setting up a workshop but I have, after much research, just confirmed an order for machines from an Italian manufacturer. The discount I was able to negotiate dealing directly with the factory far exceeded any savings I could have...

    Help me spend £20k on a small joinery workshop!

    This is all brilliant stuff. My blogging pal, realising just how dense I was with things woodworking, has sent me extracts from his college text books which have really cleared things up for me. I now know how a machine with a spinning tool can cut square holes, something I have to confess...

    Help me spend £20k on a small joinery workshop!

    I forgot to mention, there is no town power here, we are too isolated so power comes from my three phase generator. I will buy another one for the workshop, probably 50 or 60 Kva. I could construct an open workshop but we are only a kilometre from the sea and there is usually quite a heavy dew...

    Help me spend £20k on a small joinery workshop!

    Well, that has certainly given me something to think about! If the Axminster Trade Series is Chinese then they are out. I should have realised they were too cheap. Not that the Chinese aren't capable of producing some good stuff but I have read too much on this forum today about Axminster...

    Help me spend £20k on a small joinery workshop!

    I live in Angola where I am building a fishing lodge on the banks of the Rio Kwanza estuary consisting of 12 cottages and a restaurant. I have decided that I would like to import the kit I would need to open a small joinery workshop. I want to be able to make the components for future...
