If you're cutting sheet material for cupboards then even a cheap track saw can be extremely accurate. You also need less space than a table saw to cut large pieces.
I lived without a table saw for years when I started out.

I've ordered an iTech twin bag with 5000m³/h flow with a 200mm inlet so plenty and could potentially take a 2nd machine at the same time.
Nice compact machine considering the massive flow rate.

davidpidge

Haha, cheers! I didn't think to scroll down. You're right it's underneath.

davidpidge

Thanks for the reply. I think its going to be underpowered so I'll start looking for a replacement.
I can't find the specs anywhere online and the dealer isn't much use atm as they're mostly shut down due to covid.

Hi all, Got my sintex XL coming in a couple of weeks. I got a twin bag, Felder AF 22 extractor that sucks 3100m³/h. It's a used machine from another woodworker and I could still give it back to him if it's not up to the job. So, anybody know if I should get a bigger extractor? The extractor will onl...

Hi, if I use the search function on click on 'my posts' I just get a page of script. Anyone else have this issue?

I've been asked to quote to replace some wardrobe doors with birch ply. I usually dissuade people from large birch doors as they tend to warp or twist.
Anyone notice a difference between 18mm and 24mm in terms of stability? The doors are 530mm x 1830mm so not too big.

I would ring/email a few machinery dealers if I were you. Tell them your requirements and a budget and they will tell you if they think they can find something. Sometimes they will unload a machine for cheap if they don't want it taking up space. Ebay is more expensive than dealers these days!

davidpidge

The benefit is all you need is a drill and table saw or chop saw with depth stop.

davidpidge

Those brackets will work but obviously won't look great and you won't be able to mount the leg too near the corner.
I would use a standard knock down bracket (attached) which will mean adding an apron around 3 sides of the top.

Are you planing to make and finish everything with hand tools or power tools? Will you be buying timber prepared or are you hoping to do that yourself? Hard to say what tools you'll need unless you have more specific requirements. I usually design things around the tools i have rather than buying to...

davidpidge

I'll take a look.

davidpidge

I need to get a finish close to this....

It's on ash i believe and has quite a lot of sun damage so not worried about mimicking that. I was thinking a fiddes stain and waxoil on top?
Any advise welcome. Cheers!

davidpidge

Companies like timbersource will plane timber to any size you want. Or find a local cabinet maker/joiner to plane some timber for you. They'll charge you an hourly rate probably.

davidpidge

Router table or spindle moulder. Easy with either.

davidpidge

Powertool supplies always have the best festool prices. Or FFX through ebay with the ebay money off offer.

davidpidge

Put biscuits/dominoes as well as pocket screws. Put plugs in to cover them or fix a panel to cover the entire underside.

davidpidge

I've always found sedgwick to be really helpful. Just call them and ask?

davidpidge

They specifically ordered lengths of domino. Why not make their own in matching timber if they've got a thicknesser and router table? Shouldn't use beech dominoes for exterior work.

davidpidge

Thanks for posting the review. I recently had a go on an SCM planer with spiral block and it was incredible. You wouldn't need ear defenders using it!

davidpidge

This is when the Zeta p2 pays for itself!

davidpidge

Biscuits but clamping would be tricky.

davidpidge

Photos might help? Or a sketch of what you want to make.

davidpidge

Poplar ply is incredibly soft and not durable but of its melamine faced (or similar) its ideal for large carcasses as its really light.

davidpidge

Just googled your 4 sider and that is a great looking machine! Scott & Sargent have one for sale atm.

davidpidge

Cheers for the reply. I mainly make kitchens and wardrobes so 180mm is more than enough for door & face frames and I'll still have a 12" planer for the rest. The guys i spoke to didn't rate tersa knives. Hes they're incredibly quick to change but they don't have much of a protruding edge as they're ...

Hi all, Anyone have any experience with Casadei panel saws? I went to TWS in Bridgewater today to see them in person and they seem good for the money. Basically the same as SCM machines (casadei's parent company). Also had a go on the casadei p/t with spiral cutter and that was unreal. Didn't even n...

davidpidge

3 phase? Photos? Price?

This type probably. There should be a drawing with dimensions.

davidpidge

Thanks for your review. I didn't think there was a p/t with a spriral block anywhere near that price.

davidpidge

That seems too good to be true!
Yeah, new account with no feedback. 2 panel saws listed for way below market value and I've seen those altendorf photos before.
Ebay con.

I've got a griggio with 3.2m table atm so will just need the same size but would love a powered rip fence and digital read outs on all stops and fence.
Hoping to find something for around 6k. From a dealer who can deliver and install.
There's a large selection of scm about.

davidpidge

I have been looking at SCM used machines now. Just trying to find a dealer with a decent range of stock to go and see.

davidpidge

Well that's pretty definitive! Thanks for the reply.

davidpidge

Hi,
Anyone using a Robland saw that could give me a review. Obviously interested in accuracy and ease of use. I'm looking at used examples including a nearly new z400.
Cheers!

davidpidge

I use furnipart supplied by LDL for more contemporary designs and sds london for nearly everything else. Not sure how useful those companies will be if you're in spain.

davidpidge

Now sold. Cheers.

davidpidge

I've used probox twice. Euro Oak dovetailed drawer boxes and America ln black walnut drawer boxes/fronts. Service is outstanding and the quality is fantastic. Lead times are quite long so ring now and ask for an estimate on that. Drawers can be drilled for your preferred runners and their prices on ...
