Thanks chaps. What's the upper limit with the OF1400 in terms of cutters/loading? What would one need the OF2200 for? Re: the flat spot on the base... I can cope with the cutter and the base not being concentric by 0.02928101mm through a 5deg rotation of the base. However when you use the...

Yes, it may well be an industry standard tool; But alas, I hate it. :x - It's too heavy - The springs belong in motocross bike fork they're so stiff - It has a flat spot on the edge of the base for no reason I can fathom other than to mess up your cut when you're using the base as a guide -...

A typical new build party wall / floor (between dwellings) would need to achieve ~45dB sound insulation. If that's of any help.

Good ideas. Is the 30mm guide bush likely to play nicely in a 30.5mm pathway, particularly when changing direction, without binding up?

I need to make some MDF doors for a wardrobe. They need to feature a decorative profile nominally 50mm in from the edge (in the psuedo style of a raised panel door). I'm trying to think of the best way of making a template guide to enable me to route these without the risk of the router...

Thinking about it, as I have been, plans may not work as it only really works as a CNC cut acurate thing. If you were to build your own it would take ages to set up router templates for all the cuts. just wouldn't be worth it, especially factoring the wastage of ply. Also, as it stands it...

Another option to consider is having the frame made out of glass fibre reinforced plastic. High tooling costs no doubt but possibly cheaper than messing about with CNC and expensive ply. The hinge could then be integrated into the mold. What is the centre deflection like on the MDF top with...

Put some mesh side panels on it and it can double as a travel cot :D

Letchworth SF are awful. And I've never been impressed with SF's approach to customer service anywhere. One of their newest gimmicks is to have one of their employees loitering aimlessly round the shop floor (whilst there's still only 1 person picking) waiting to pounce on people "can i help...

By the time the goobers in SF have actually picked the items the warranty will have expired. Worst customer service anywhere. 3 people on tills, 1 person picking & 8 people talking nonsense and doing nothing just round the corner. Track saw with no track... Words fail me.

Speaking to Ron Paulk would be a good idea. He's making a fortune from selling plans and he's already explored manufacture. He might be able to put you in contact with someone who's prepared to make it as a kit and you can just sit back and collect the royalty cheques for the design. Easy...

Ditto. *Not valid for online purchases. ie: completely useless in 2016 and probably more than £50 cheaper at FFX anyway :roll:

Maxcut works perfectly for my needs. Brilliant. Thanks chaps! :D

Thanks gents. I shall investigate your suggestions. I really like cutlogic 2d. Used it as a trial for the last project and it was brilliant. but at $999 I won't be buying it. :(

What software do people use for optimising sheet goods? It seems most of the decent vendors have become greedy and want silly money just for a simple 2D optimiser these days :(

Go into landrover dealership parts department. Order every part for a defender 90. Pays your bill. Go home. Assemble. Whack it on ebay for £110k. Jobs a goodun. Spray it offwhite and write FesteringStool on the side +20k.

:lol: Sin bin. (hammer) :cry:

I use the Silverline auto attenuating ear defenders from Toolstation. I work a lot in my garage with the door open so people sometimes appear at the door and the last thing you need when working with sharp tools is jumping out of your skin because you didn't hear them coming! The good thing...

Thanks chaps I've thrown my own thread off track a bit by mentioning shelves. I mean shelves and drawer stretchers (or horizontal elements generally) within a built in wardrobe type scenario. Typically melamine faced mdf with edge banding. I need to be able to install prefabricated parts...
