hegner relocation

[mac1012]

just relocated my hegner onto another table , the other one had seen better days and I am making way for the new
workshop table I getting soon , this is going to be the hegners new home as the other new table is going to be used for different purposes.

the table I put the hegner on is and old drop leaf table I got from a car boot for 15 notes it has a shelf underneath where I have put my scrap wood bin and a couple of bricks for ballast , I have bolted the machine down on top of a matt , the legs of table are quite thin so I am going to fix a skirt around then to strengthen the frame. I did some cutting yesterday and is pretty much vibration free , better than the other table I was using and when I put the strengtheners on should be even better.

I was having a practice yesterday and I hadn't set up the record vacuum so I changed back to blowing rather than sucking and I must say I couldn't go back to not having a vacuum now when I could see all the dust just blowing around everywhere and the pic above is after I had been cutting for half an hour and as you can see by the table there is hardly any dust on the table surface.

I going to b and q later and taking my hegner dust port with me to see if I can fin a plumbing plastic connector to fix on the end as a bit of the dust that drops down is not sucking in to the port.

A change is as good as a rest, Mark, or so they say. Be interesting to see it when you have all your dust extraction set up again.

I eventually chopped 7.5" off the legs of my original Hegner stand so that I am comfortable sat at it. I really want to put it on some sort of trolley that I can lock the wheels of. At the moment the saw is in the way of my inspection pit, so when I get a car in there's lots of moving around to do. It's marvellous that when I retired, I began getting far more unpaid work than I ever had paid work.
