as far as I can remember the main table came fitted. also the trunnions and motor assembly are attached directly to the table underneath it

It's just a normal bridle joint with an angled shoulder. You can look at the whitehill spindle moulder cutters catalogue under "scribe cutters". But you can just cut the shoulder by hand with the help of an angled guide. A mitre saw with trenching facility or even a table saw can also do the...

Thanks. You've made may day. I was struggling to find a way to fit a wardrobe in wonky recess, I think shadow gaps like those are the solution now.

There's this guy: Bradshaw Joinery. His videography is far from great aesthetically and otherwise, but he is an actual professional joiner showing how to do joinery the traditional way and giving useful tips along the way. A far cry from the majority of YT videos on plugging some dominoes...

Hi, Have you considered using concealed barrel hinges and a push to open catch? I think those would provide a cleaner look without giving away the fact there's a "secret" cabinet.

Interesting handle as well. How was it made? Is it just glued on? I suppose it is very fragile with that short grain section, unless it was bent. Cannot tell from the pictures

Hi, I haven't post here for a while. Decided to make use of some ash and sapele off-cuts left from a flooring/parquet job and had the idea of making a bracelet (or indeed a set of bracelets) using a technique akin to segmented turning. I opted to make the bracelet oval instead of round since...

is this suitable? http://www.wealdentool.com/acatalog/Onl ... __554.html NB it is a 5.5mm thick cutter but if you have a whitehill block it can accept cutters from 4mm to 6 mm thick

AFAIK ash moves a bit in service. aren't you concerned that panels may shrink and leave an unsightly crack in the paint all around?

I've got curious and looked at the manual (I keep a collection of pdf manuals for several machines that I;ve gathered over time). According to it, both bearings are the same model (6211) so if one runs hot and the other doesn't thats a bad sign. I'd speculate that if the top bearing does not...

Haven't posted a project here for awhile, and yes, it's another another wedding gift box. Timbers: sapele (reclaimed) and olive. Inner size is roughly an A4 paper sheet. Sorry I dont have any WIP pictures. Tried to look professional and took the photos with a white sheet as background but I...

I have that same model since 2008. probably an earlier revision since it does not have that side window to see the blade tracking. On mine adjusting the lower blade guides to cope with different blade widths is a major pain in the ar*e. I also don't like that the table split is oriented the way...

I have used the following pattern on the slats to avoid seeing the backing canvas (I've actually used leather instead of canvas) when they run on the curved section of the groove. the sharp corners were then rounded as well: a detail of the tambour on the cabinet:

epoxy. loads of open time (up to 60 min, depending on the type) and suitable for exterior applications. only drawbacks are price and it can also leave a slightly darker glueline.

hi. there is an italian woodworking forum here: http://www.il-legno.it/forum/viewforum.php?f=77 you could try to post your questions on the forum. there are some english speaking members that might be able to help you.

I'm thinking of making a small door panel off end grain pieces, similar to a cutting board. does anyone see any major incovenient in doing this? I've tried a web search but could not come up with much information besides cutting boards. thanks

I believe that the straightness tolerances for 8020 like extrusions can amount to around 0.9 mm per metre which may not be acceptable for a fence and would render a plywood fence a better option. I think that if a fence from Felder was that amount off you would be entitled for a replacement...

I've got a 2nd hand sm255t. There shouldn't be any noticeable play. yours does have a replaceable arbour doesn't it? Excuse me if i'm asking the obivous, but are you sure the large nut that holds the arbour in place is correctly tightened?

4500rpm will be on the low side for modern cutter blocks with replaceable knives, unless they are around 200mm in diametre. you can use low speeds but you will have to feed the workpieces more slowly if not using a power feed. look here for a reference: http://flury-systems.com/katalog_detail...

Hi. My rules of thumb re speeds are as follows: 1500rpm -> sanding 3000 rpm -> large tenoning discs (ø 250mm or 300mm) 6000 rpm through 8000rpm -> general profiling blocks 10000rpm -> large diametre router cutters
