I have no intentions of building one. I was just admiring the engineering. If I want one, I'd just buy the Domino.

Wondering if we could get an update from you guys who have built and used this? Are you actually using it or is it on the shelf collecting dust? Would you build it again?

Always wondered if there was a way to put a corrugated head on a w&h molder. Or on a logosol for that matter. That way if you ever upgraded, your collection could be reused.

This is a train table that I have built for a school auction. It is 2' wide, 4' long, and 18" tall. I previously built one just like out of cherry for my 2 year old son. Since I'm giving this one...

You consider splines. I want to do the same, but I haven't decided how to reinforce the joints either. I'm leaning toward splines.

I've been playing with some molding lately, and I've wanted to ask you guys how you safely cut miter returns on the SCMS. Seems like everything I try still ends up with a flying object. Not the way I...

So with some experimentation, I believe I have solved my problems. First, grain direction means everything. The grain should be angled high on the infeed side, and low on the outfeed side when...

As previously stated, I have been making m?olding with my Woodmaster 718 lately. I have an assortment of knives and such.

I am having trouble with poplar tearout. Let me run you through my setup....

I've been getting more and more into making molding with my woodmaster 718. I built a bedboard that is 6 feet long that goes through the planer. I have roller stands that I use to help feed into...

A few of your carbide cutters might be raised slightly by a piece of dirt being underneath them. I have heard many complaints about folks with shelix heads playing with the inserts, and when they...

Small Update.

I just purchased a 3 hp jet dc-1200. I plan to convert the 718 to a 6" port. Right now I'm trying to decide how to collect the chips. I'm thinking about building another Thien and...

Just wanting to get some ideas from you guys who own 718's. I am definitely lacking in the dust collection department. I currently am running the 2hp (cough) harbor freight with a thien separator...

Isn't the purpose of the canister to get more filter square footage generally resulting in more airflow. Wouldn't the bag inside defeat that purpose?

Definitely match the weights. Try to get them all within a gram or 2.

Are you running both the top and bottom profiles in the planer head at the same time? If so, Stagger the knives. In other...

Brad,
I'm curious what you decided to do?

I also run a woodmaster single knife setup and get finished molding results. In fact I prefer the single knife setup since I generally run flat back knives. 2 knives require a lot more patience to...

Could I get some details such as:
How thick is your hardwood going to be?
How thick is your ply?
Which ply are you going with?
I'm interested in doing this to my home. I've layed hardwood...

I just did a quick glance at stockroom supply's sander. Are you willing to pay that much for a sander? And I assume you push it through the sander by hand. You sure you just don't want to build...

I've thought about doing the same thing on the backend of my woodmaster planer. I've got a 1 hp motor sitting around. Would you sand all the way to 240 or just do the 180. I've never sanded...

Checking is a drying defect. You may have revealed it machining the wood.

Sorry Charlie, but I have to disagree. I have a belsaw, and I couldn't love it more. I do agree with using the molder for face work and the shaper for edge profiling. The belsaw is nearly exactly...

Do any of you guys know anything about tod evans grinder in the above post? He says B&S so I assume Brown and Sharpe, but any ideas on model number. I've never even heard of these grinders.

So if I saw this from across the street, I can assure you that your planer could sit on the curb for as long as you like. I promise you that I will not go and pick it up. lol

Always wondered about that. I know on my belsaw, when planing, it's very common for the board to skew. So logically in my mind, it would be probably do it on the woodmaster when ripping without one...

David nailed it.
That is the method most large sawmills use. The sample is generally baked longer than 5 hrs in a small conventional oven to assure it is as close to 0% as possible. But, he's...
