I have a few Festool tools but I'm not a huge fan of the Carvex. Mostly it's the on/off switch. I find my fingers are never in a position to switch off after a cut (barrel grip version). Wish I'd known about the 300 version. Cheaper and a traditional sliding switch on the side of the grip! didn't do...

Try interesting timbers otherwise look in the back of furniture and cabinetmaking magazine. Some companies advertise there.

I'll take best offers. Can't remember how much new. Doesn't fit my new saw so for sale. Prefer collection or will post to uk only.
I've got 3 used rip blades same size that someone can have for free if they collect or they go in the bin.

1 x 315 blade for sale
Purchased from cutting solutions. USED.

Google 'glass stand off fixings'. They come in various sizes and male/female thread variations.

davidpidge

Is it me or are the OFK and MFK exactly the same machine with different base plates/accessories?

davidpidge

I never thought I'd have room for a full size panel saw but after visiting another cabinet maker and seeing how he worked a sliding Felder saw into his small workshop I was inspired. I did have to cut off around 150mm from the rip fence bar!

Life changing... 20170906_164140.jpg Like a glove! IMG-20170907-WA0004.jpeg A bit of 9mm ply stands in the fence to make a clip board for the cutting list. I've found a ducting/extraction company near me that will fabricate any hose connections I need. The crown guard is an 80mm OD hose and I'll get...

I see what you mean. So it's using the same principal as the wide array of laminate trimmers that trim 'from above'.

davidpidge

Morning all, I don't do a lot of edgebanding but when I do I wish I had chosen a different career. I only do iron-on edging (melamine & real wood) and then I trim it off with one of those little plastic tools with a removable razor blade. It works fine but it time consuming and there is a fair amoun...

Deposit paid. Awaiting collection.

Now on ebay. All offers considered. Need the space!

A Griggio CA32. 1996 model. Photos to come! Scott and sergeant had it for sale as spares or repairs because the rise and fall had stopped working so a local company to them fixed it (hopefully) and stuck it back on ebay with a tidy mark up! Collecting on Monday!

I've just bought a panel saw so my Sedgwick is up for sale. I bought this less than a year ago from a joinery company and it's in nice condition. 3 phase Fitted with brake, blade stops in less than 10 secs year of manufacture: 2011 Original aluminium crown guard included removable sliding table with...

found one!

Hi Looking for a panel saw. Ideally with a 2600mm sliding bed (rather than the bigger 3200mm ones) with tilting blade. Already missed a Wadkin CP25 on ebay which was ideal. Would consider a newer model from Felder, SCM-Minimax etc. if not too expensive Around £2000 inc vat max and I can collect if y...

davidpidge

Thanks for the link. I see how it works now.

davidpidge

Yes you can rip so that the rip offcut is to the rhs of the blade , what you need is a parallel guide for the slider, it works in conjunction with the cross cut fence and makes 100% perfect rips. It's great for panel work and multiple rips in wood. What does a parallel guide look like? Can they be ...

davidpidge

Just realised this is a few months old!

davidpidge

Is the panel saw still available?

davidpidge

Worked a treat. Cheers guys!

davidpidge

The wadkin I'm looking at has 900mm rip capacity but I won't know how much of that I'll be able to use until the saw is in the workshop. I'll probably rip sheets down with the track saw to managable sizes before hand anyway. Anyone got any opinions on that Wadkin cp25? I just want to cut ply more qu...

davidpidge

I did look at this but was worried it was a bit light duty. And a bit far to go as I'd like to see before i buy.

davidpidge

Surely you just need a crown guard with extraction?

davidpidge

Ha! I'm definitely going to sell the sedgwick ta315 i have if i find a panel saw. Thanks for the info. I think I'll have about 2.5m to the left of the blade if I shift some stuff around. I'll have to get my p/t on wheels and move it when in use for this to work.

Hi all, I had given up on the idea of a panel saw thinking I didn't have enough space but I have just visited another cabinet makers workshop today and he had a Felder panel saw in a smaller space than I have so I'm reconsidering. I only need to rip cut up to 2500 so the smaller saws will do (some h...

davidpidge

cheers i'll look into that.

Hello all, My old twin bag extractor used to fill it's bags evenly so they were full at the same time, could change them together. Perfect. My new (used) JET extractor fills one bag to the top when the other has about 6" of chips/dust. Very annoying as I have to change the bag more often. Might as w...

davidpidge

Where are the machines? Interested in the makita cut off saw. Price please? Would you post?

davidpidge

The Trend T11 is the same as a Dewalt DW625EK I believe just different colours. Used to be the most common workhorse router in most joinery shops but the quality has gone down hill in tecent years. Bearings are crap, castings are rough. The handle broke off mine while I was using it!

davidpidge

Where are you? I have an engineer near me that would be able to do stuff like that. I'm sure you could send drawings for a quote and get them posted as they're small items. He's in Frome, Somerset.

davidpidge

That sounds like an interesting product. We do a lot with Birch ply and it is HEAVY and expensive. A lot of the time we do want the nice edge of the ply but for carcasses the Twin ply sounds ideal. Cheers!

davidpidge

Anybody have recommendations for the stand material? I'm pretty set on poplar ply. Would lightweight MDF be suitable or is their any other options? I'm going to price for painting and getting some Formica added to the ply for durability.

davidpidge

6 to 7 hundred quid each plus vat! More if spray finished. I would use rafix fixings as that is metal to metal fixings I already use rafix and they are good but I was worried they might not last. The screw cam part is quite soft and can be stripped if you're a bit forceful with the screwdriver. The...

davidpidge

I've been asked to price for some display stands. They currently use cardboard flat pack jobbies that slot together. They want a more durable option to sell to retailers and for use at shows. I'm using 18mm poplar plywood (lightweight) for the whole thing (am considering lightweight MDF but have no ...

davidpidge

Also interested depending on location.

davidpidge

Annoyingly I'm in the middle of a big install so don't have time to sort it. Will definitely get it sent to festool when I'm done though. Other than this issue I love this drill. It's paid for itself twice over. No more stubby screwdrivers!

davidpidge

I have also just used a strip of wood as a stop. If it goes all the way from top to bottom and has the back edge eased it can blend in quite well and look ok. I've done this in the past with a painted mdf unit that had inset doors. Strip of 6mm top to bottom looked really tidy. Sadly not an option ...

davidpidge

I need loads and no time to make anything. And international shipping is too slow. I've ordered some s.steel spacers to use instead.
