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...

My process: Sanded wood to 180. Apply first coat of stain. Sand lightly to remove raised grain. Second coat of stain. First coat fo varnish Lightly sand using Mirka Miron pads Final coat of varnish.

I was looking for the same thing and came across people using watered down acrylic paint as stain. I tried it and it worked great. You need to water it down quite a bit and I would recommend testing on samples. I applied two coats of this stain to get this effect on Birch Plywood. It's nice as...

I did the same with my planer blades when sharpening them myself. It's nice to see progress up close. Original thread: Drum Sander Planer Blade Sharpening Jig Before: IMG_0531 by jamie skinner, on Flickr After: IMG_0535 by jamie skinner, on Flickr

I use Autodesk Fusion 360 for modelling and creating all the tool paths. There is a free version for 'non business' use which has all the features you need. What are you intending to make? If sign making then you should look at V carve too.

Not sure on how the control works on yours exactly. However have you checked to see if the speed control knob is attached to the shaft and not just spinning on it. I just had the same thing with my drum sander conveyer speed control. It turned out the grub screw attaching the knob to the shaft...
