My spindle moulder is rated at 3.73hp and has a 100mm spindle.
I bought a Trend 125 x 60 x 30 rebating head for making the window frame rebate for the flush fitting of window sash.
The head is steel, and at the time, only thought would be using for the frame rebates, so the steel mass was preferable to alloy.
To run a mould and rebate together it looks like I'm going to need a moulding head to stack on the spindle. Seems I have a spacer between the two not sure how the spacer bit of the equation works, does one have different thickness of spacer, that then somehow effects the size of the ovolo mould?
Spindle length is 100mm. The Whitehill ( though Whealden might be cheape, have looked but can't anything ) moulding head is steel. As I say my spindle moulder is rated at 3.73hp I'm wondering if 3.73hp has enough oomph to spin up two stacked steel blocks?
If not if I get a 125 x 40 x 30 or probably 125 x 50 x 30 alloy rebate head (I say probably 125 x 50 x 30 for size of the sash rebate for double glazing, will need to refer to, check what Robin said about correct size for double glazing rebate in the sash. )
If I get an alloy rebating head am I going to be OK to run a steel and alloy block together or would I get something like chatter because blocks are made of different materials?
Thanks
