• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    A wheely good workbench solution, Version 2, Now we're rolling!

    Hello there all. Me thinks it's time for a review on this mechanism, after using it for the last 5 years or so, in a one car garage... At the time, I wasn't aware that I was making the proverbial oxymoron, but in actuality, it's turned out to get me into trouble on a few occasions... for a...

    Question for you machinist folks about auxiliary sliding extrusion on tablesaw

    Thanks for the additional measurements Jonathan, I forgot that I'd been expecting such elements would be brought up!, but thankfully not before I'd got some measurements first. :) My saw having a left tilt arbor, an old Startrite 275 that is, being preferable it seems... Not seen which way the...

    Question for you machinist folks about auxiliary sliding extrusion on tablesaw

    Now you tell me! 😄 ... and there was me like an eejit, questioning the Sawstop reps if they were gonna introduce one with their venture into the UK market, seemingly those folks aren't too worried if someone gets a very nasty kickback! I did look into Grizzly tools for such an extrusion (in...

    Question for you machinist folks about auxiliary sliding extrusion on tablesaw

    Thanks Jonathan, that is a rather nice hefty walled extrusion, looks like a Felder machine, if the paint is anything to go by, and looks to be compliant with the Euro regs what's seemingly at 15mm max height. I guess I have my answer then, and 42mm should provide ample space.. otherwise they...

    Question for you machinist folks about auxiliary sliding extrusion on tablesaw

    Hi Ian, I was referring to the low fence orientation what's mentioned in the SUVA manual, titled Arbeiten an der tischkreissäge. I tried finding the date of publication just now, and cannot open the file for some reason. Now I'm not sure if what's mentioned is strictly referring to use of a...

    Question for you machinist folks about auxiliary sliding extrusion on tablesaw

    Hello again folks, I've been pondering a bit more about the job, as space is so tight in there at present, it's hard to think straight when yer standing on a lawnmower, lol. Seems that I've got some luck, in such that the trespa being a bit shorter than the extrusion, it might lend itself nicely...

    Question for you machinist folks about auxiliary sliding extrusion on tablesaw

    Sure you can buy about 15, M10 star knobs for under a tenner from the big river, or you can make yer own fugly lookin ones instead! :unsure::ROFLMAO: Though they seem about right clearance wise, and also of suitable width in surface area, as the fence isn't made of very substantial thickness...

    Question for you machinist folks about auxiliary sliding extrusion on tablesaw

    Hello again folks, might as well post an update on things. Onto getting the holes marked out, just needed to fettle things first.. I always find bending things a head scratcher, but only a few clamps were needed for this thin stuff. I fully intended to add a little more depth to this WIP...

    Question for you machinist folks about auxiliary sliding extrusion on tablesaw

    Been eyeing up things, and think I'll be better off not trying to succeed in having the two jobs in one. Perhaps if I had some aluminium plate instead of the Trespa material, I could open the ends of the slot to enable sliding the auxiliary fence off, instead of removal with the bolts captured...

    Question for you machinist folks about auxiliary sliding extrusion on tablesaw

    Whilst I spent a fair bit of time with some rod, hoking about to check for obstructions for the other bolt hole. Noticed some cast iron swarf was appearing, so went about taking apart the fence to see what I was dealing with. Didn't feel that with the pokie! No worries, I have just enough...

    Question for you machinist folks about auxiliary sliding extrusion on tablesaw

    Might as well give ye an update on how things are coming along.. Had this nice, thin and crisp cornered angle iron which was from an old bed, and started cutting one of the rails up. Drilled both lengths, and also the underside of the lower one for access, whilst tapping the upper length...

    Question for you machinist folks about auxiliary sliding extrusion on tablesaw

    Hi Wallace, to quote our Steve... (Steve Maskery for those new to the forum) "The low lip is so that I can get it under the guard if I need to rip anything very narrow." There's lots of stuff in this dated article which demonstrate this well, and yes indeed... some pictures seem to be lacking...

    Question for you machinist folks about auxiliary sliding extrusion on tablesaw

    It's the European rules Duke, and worth knowing if the statistics are even a tiny percentage of the estimated figures. Of those estimated fugures, what's albeit a blanket term, those listed as "circular saw accidents", so that could be 99% handheld and other types of saws for all anyone knows...

    Question for you machinist folks about auxiliary sliding extrusion on tablesaw

    Hi again, (might edit this with some photos later) I spent a fair amount digging through my folders, and a bit of searching online. It's very difficult to get an accurate impression of how much clearance one can get away with, regarding the low profile fence orientation... Regardless, I drilled...

    Hello folks, getting back at working on my old Startrite 275 again, as I've acquired some materials what will get the job done... just about that is, as indeed there be some faffing involved as you would expect, lol.😅 Sorry didn't get a piccy of the skip, as it was a deep'un. Now I've got...

    A new take on the PAUL SELLERS HAND CUT MORTISE JIG.

    I'd prefer the "tenting" method (where practical) for any paring jobs, and such an "aid" doesn't lend itself to... but could see the appeal for that jig used instead of knife marking basslines, but not used beyond that. All the best Tom

    A new take on the PAUL SELLERS HAND CUT MORTISE JIG.

    I tried such whilst making a shooting board, which lead to much undercutting of the walls...and that was only a shallow trench. Might be alright for dovetails though, as seen below, not tried that. All the best Tom

    A belt sander revamp?

    Epoxy-ing in some threadbar after tapping A bit of shim stock needed Might have been better off with a wear strip, and bending the shim stock for the runners... as things wern't easy to slide, as seen with all the scuffing. It slides fairly nicely now...after a bit of elbow grease...

    A belt sander revamp?

    Well, that job took ages to get done... and it's not even finished yet! Spent the week using the remaining 6mm off cuts to make two runners. G-Clamped up a welding jig... using a bit of flat bar and some angle iron, used with the f-clamps to stop the metal contracting. I learned a lesson...

    Hi I'm new here

    Welcome aboard Peter :) I've had the oppertunity to do a lash up turning job with an angle grinder for non precision stuff before, using a pillar drill to rig up this grinder to the chuck, and clamped the tool up to make it somewhat solid. I wouldn't recommend such for anything more than the...
