    Sedgwick CP bearings

    Hi all, Just wondering if anybody can tell me what bearings I need for a Sedgwick CP planer thicknesser. It is a 3 knife straight block and it is a dark blue and light blue machine (for the age). Any pointers as where is best to buy them would be great too! Thanks in advance, Patrick

    Planer Thicknesser - Old one with a helical head?

    Also just to add…I agree with other sentiments above I think spiral heads are a bit of the newest fad and smoke and mirrors and industry’s way to sell something new. Yes the finish is nice but when are you ever realistically going to use a piece of wood straight off the planer in any kind of...

    Planer Thicknesser - Old one with a helical head?

    For info I spoke to Sedgwick today about adding a spiral/tersa head to an old mb and they ballparked me at about £2500…they said sadly you can’t just swap them in an out it’s needs machining but they seemed happy to do it and it would come with a full strip and service as well. A lot of...

    construction of a built in cabinet

    Hi reck ahh I see that’s all understood and seems reasonable. It sounds a tricky one if they’ve given you very specific dimensions for what they are putting in it and also having two walls either side governing you so I suppose in the end that’s going to have to rule your decision making...

    construction of a built in cabinet

    Hi mate just to add to and echo what some people have said above you are making things far harder for yourself with the construction method you’ve described above, your also setting yourself up for a worse finish. By far the easiest is to build as three cabs and butt together. Then have side...

    How To Buy Hardwoods

    Hi Custard and everyone. Thanks for this brilliant thread mate hugely helpful indeed. I’ve been at it 5 or so years ‘professionally’ and still find buying timber bewildering and difficult!

    Custom MFT top

    Hi mate, the last ones I got done (1 normal size and one 1500 x 1000 ish for an assembly bench) were by a guy called Mick in Reading. He was great, it’s Formatic CNC if you google it and get in touch, he’ll definitely help. Mine were in birch ply by the way. Cheers, Pat.
