Spindle moulder cutter question

..............If you want to have a look for tenoning discs then get hold of the Whitehill catalogue (Note: the online catalogue is well out of date ..............

I agree, I guess 2001 is a tad out-of-date !

The new one is just a rehash of the old 2001 version, there is very little new items in it

Oh, sorry it is a lot different......... the prices have gone up :roll: .

p.s. don't forget to check the scribe cutter thicknesses as they vary for different blocks & applications

Hi Scrit,

Whitehill now do some alloy tenon discs, as do Axminster (their Whitehills really).

Whitehill sizes from 125mm all the way to 300mm.

Finally! I had suggest to Roger that he ring and ask - I've found thgat if Whitehill do it in a steel block they're generally happy to make the same in ally, too, which makes two 30mm high tenoning discs and spacers potentially useable on a smaller spindle.

Roger , while i remember i also have a nightmare with chipout like you have shown on the top of the rebate here

The only way i have found to limit this is to run a marking gauge down the timber before i make my cut and hogging most of the timber away on the table saw first . The latter doesn't help if doing a profile cut .
Anyone else got any tips to stop this ?

 

[Scrit]

I think someone else mentioned it - do the scribed cuts first then mould the edges

Sorry i should have moved the arrow , i mean the chipping along the rebate .

 

[Scrit]

The only solution I know is to use a rebate block with a scriber. Even then some poor quality stick can still chip out

O dear then , i have £800 worth of Iroko to rebate this week . Lets hope it does'nt turn into £1000 worth with lots of waste !

I've just had a look at my Omas door making set and i have two rebate cutters with scribe cutters , can anyone see a problem with me using these on thier own or do they have to be used as part of the interlocking set ?

 

[Scrit]

The only reason for using them interlocked is the usual one of legality/safety (you knew I'd say that, though) - split they no longer form a limiter block, however, I see no reason why they won't work and the practice was once more widespread.

Do you have a rebate block with shear cut, as that helps a lot with the tearout you mention, the only other thing I can suggest is make sure the cutters are as new sharp.

Hope this helps.

...or a zero clearance fence :wink:

Roger,

How are the windows coming along ?.

 

[RogerS]

Just glued up the first one....10/10 for squareness 6/10 for scribed fit of glazing bars...could do better...

The one trick I have yet to learn is how to measure/adjust the amount of scribe that you cut out of the end of the glazing bars. It's been a question of scribe a bit, offer it up, put back in the spindle moulder, reline it up, take a smidgeon more off, offer it up.....must be a quicker/smarter way.

 

[Scrit]

Doesn't your carraige have flip stops? Once you've set-up one glazing bar, all the others in a given plane will be the same length

Scrit

 

[JFC]

Yeah , doesn't your carraige have flip stops :-s

Only on the extension piece as far as I can see...and so unless the glazing bars are about 4ft long ....... :?

 

[Scrit]

:lol:

See, Jase, another good reason to buy a carraige.......

 

[RogerS]

:idea: :idea:

I went and had another look. Doh! :sign3: The flip-stop comes off the extension bit and fits onto the main guide rail....
