Awesome!!! I have been contemplating trying this on some benches. I have been trying to perfect my handwork lately with files and carving tools.
What Bob said is true. Thompson Bearings are "self-aligning". I am a Machine designer by trade. The minimum number of round rail bearings is three in any design with two rails and two with one rail....
Due to the size of the table you will have the best luck with PSA backed veneer. Basically peel and stick. Or you could try contact cement from Joe woodworker. I have had good luck using his stuff...
Well Rich, that is one awesome machine!
That was fun to watch! Interesting technique on joining the base to the top
Looks good. I have been thinking about building one like this for a while.
+1 on the slick tape. I use it all the time on my solid wood drawers. Several of the dressers I have made have 5 years on them and no sign of wear or sticking at all. The slick tape from Lee...
I'm trying to adapt from 2" PVC pipe to 2-1/4" shop vac hose. Is there a adapter out there to do this?
After burning up my shop vac in the fine woodworking sound enclosure, I put my pancake air coimpressor in it. It works great in there-you can barely herar it run. I only use my compressor for...
what you are looking for is the dust collection system from the IWF show.

It says its $40??? I...
I take rarely take off the guide rail (just flip it up and drop the front support below the table), but I take off the fence all the time. I always check for square on my first cut, but have never...
Ok I hate to dig up old posts, but this one has been on my mind since I read it. If you sit the cabinets on a box, the end cabinet will have an ugly seam. How is this hidden? Just curious. Pics...
What do you plan to put on the shelf? If it is the normal components which make up a entertainment center (like a Blue ray, reciever, etc) 16.5" may not be deep enough. Once you place these rather...
Yep you will want a dust collector due to the dents in the wood. It will save you hours of sanding later. If you dont want to invest much into one Harbour freight has a $200 Dust collector that most...
Very nice. Look forward to seeing it on the saw!
Very nice shop. well organized. How do you like the v series dust collector? I have been considering the V3000.
I have both the Work sharp and the veritas mkII set-up. the worksharp gets the tool very sharp. However it has a curved scratch pattern. It gets small chisels (less than 3/4") quite sharp very...
try flipping the stock end for end-the grain of the wood may be working against you. You did not specify length of the pieces you are cutting. I am assuing that these are not end grain cuts.
I have the same routers. I put the 690 in a woodpeckers lift in a router table. Works fantastic. I bought the lift to hold the PC7519 router and added a adapter ring to use the 690.
I would never...
I think that there are alternate suppliers of saw blades for the TS55, however I am thinking of buying the TS75. Does anyone out there know of a source for non-festool blades?
If this has been...
I use a felder saw guard on my Sawstop. It has great dust collection. It is P/n 420-708...
I use a dewalt 625 with a woodrat plunge bar
(chipsflydotcom no affiliation). One handed plunge for the router to free up your other hand to move the router across the work. It works great.
congrats. I hope you enjoy your j/p. I am leaning towards the same j/p in my distant future.
I had not seen this before. I like it. Just another thing to add to the shop...
