Workshop is a little busy at the moment so they are not great pictures. Wiring travels through the bent tube to the switches. Gundog Forge Grinder kit for anyone interested. I use this for sanding some of my wooden parts hence the 100mm extract attached. The parts have a radius of 10mm in one...

This Is the stand I made a few weeks ago. Made from 35mm 3mm wall box section with plywood shelves for the VFD and spare belts. Mine goes on castors as i need to move it. Perfectly strong enough but not heavy to move/lift. Ill get some pictures of the finished stand when I get home.

Attach some photos you may get a better response. Might just be the quality of this brand of saw.

Ive seen many people have the same experience as you have. I thought they changed the design to make it stronger. Obviously not.. I have the same planer as well. Seems a weak point on it.

Designed and quickly rendered in Fusion 360

Thank you! I had the very centre joints try to pull apart. Next time I would make my 3mm ply joiners go a lot closer to the centre of the table to aid strength. I think at the end of the day its going to move. Where ever you try to reinforce it the wood will find a weak spot to pull apart...

Once glued I mounted it to the cnc and cut the pocket for the bearing and then contoured cut the rest. A final heavy chamfer on both inner and outer edges. The piece was then ebonised and Oiled. Made a few bowls and plates to accompany the table. They have a threaded outer profile which...

Attaching the fins to the main table top. The slot made from the section I cut out is perfect to drop some clamps into to enable me to clamp the fins. Now time to work on the base. Rough cut the material on the bandsaw. I am using the same technique with the wedges and a template. This time...

The slots. My circle jig has a 30mm wide slot running down it in which a guide bush on the router can slide. This will enable me to cut the slots accurately. I had to come back and manually cut the slots right to the middle. I made a small rebate in the fins so that they sit over slots...

The table top. Planning up and sanding the segments to final thickness. I am using my spindle to accurately shape each segment. The template has 10mm recessed holes in which I use a 10mm drill to transfer screw marks to the top. The template is then screwed to each piece. Grain...

I tasked myself to build a 'top table' for my wedding. On telling my now wife this I was met with: 'Your just doing this to get out of other jobs..' Which was true. ;) I built some cake stands a few years back and wanted to base the table on this design. I wanted to make it from solid oak as I...

I posted on a similar thread a while back: https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/jet-22-44-consumables.124805/

It's been a while since I was in the market for a VFD but would something like this work with your current motor? 220 single phase in 380v three phase out.

I had some parts which I had to put a chamfer on both sides. One side going with the grain cut beautifully and other side chipped out horrendously. I came across this bit from CMT that's cuts both top and bottom chamfers at the same. This means you don't need to flip the part. Can now cut all...

I modified my sander to run standard width paper belts. I use Mirka Juplex paper for this. To stop the paper from tearing I use 3M aluminium tape on either end where it connects the the drum. (Prevents the paper from tearing.) I cut a strip of tape about 2" long and stick it on the paper side...
