I made my router table top out of two layers of 3/4" MDF glued together and then laminated the top and bottom with Formica. I use confirmat screws from below to level the plate. No hardening needed....
What are the dimensions and how nice of a job do you want it to be? Does it need to last a long time or just be done? Based on your tools and experience there are several options. Making a template...
For the last year or two it seems there is less activity here than on the other forum I frequent. I attribute it to the vanilla flavor of the creek for some of the reasons posted above.
Do a...
I would like to congratulate Mel Fulks for one of the oldest thread resurrections ever! Crown up, points down. Feed just the ends till it's close. Don't press down too hard on the middle.
I went to the Laguna facility for a David Marks seminar last year. Nice people, gracious hosts, nice machines but I have read these stories about their poor customer service for years.
Recently,...
Steven,
Sometimes I still break out my Makita because it doesn't have a dust shroud around the edge which would bump into an inside curve of say a chair seat. The pad is soft enough to get a lot of...
The speed controls are on the top and the converter sits atop my dust extractor but I'll agree it isn't the do all, end all sander you'd hope it would be for the price.
Van,
He didn't give a...
I found the Norton 3x gave me a lot of swirl marks so that it lasts a long time didn't matter to me. I have heard only good reports on Klingspore although I have had great success with Indasa Rhyno...
Autonet is marketed to the automotive industry and body shops. Abranet is marketed to consumer hobbiests. Obviously they feel they can charge a higher mark up to the hobbiests.
Cerritos is a great...
John,
If you like the Abranet you'll love the Autonet, same thing for half the price. For a traditional sander I prefer Indasa Rhyno disks available from Industrial Abrasives and 2sand.com.
Van,...
Hook and loop would be a poor choice for the school to use because with all the students using the sanders they would probably wear out fast. For personal use the hook and loop is preferred and that...
They make bits specifically for the impact guns, I'd stick to those. I've never had a bit stuck that I couldn't reverse the motion give a few taps of the trigger while in a fastener and have the bit...
You will have a hard time finding an on off switch that can handle the motor of your table saw without going bad. If you are properly using the table saw you need to move your feet and a foot switch...
I'm more concerned about pesticides than bugs but I understand if they bother you. I think an air conditioner would be a really good deterrent.
Freudian slip sums it up.
I started reading this thread without looking at the date and thought, this guy is crazy for buying an $880 band saw with a riser block and thinking it's a deal. Times have changed.
I doubt he would give your post "two thumbs up".
He's the Ethiopian Sam Maloof!
Can you point me to a link? Are they from Mirka with the matching holes?
Joe Woodworker sells a veneer glue for copper that I have used. I bet it would work for veneer to aluminum.
Prashun,
Mirka makes a replacement pad that is different from the backer saver pad. It completely replaces the pad on some brands of sanders so you have the matching 44 holes that are on the Mirka...
Ron is wasting a lot of time. There is no need to remove the table or use a heat gun. A utility knife to cut the paper in half at the table, pull the top half, spin the wheel 1/2 turn and remove the...
Have you checked the straight edge?
The model in question is the 66222. It is the same body that is sold by many other companies and recognizable by the "H827W" in the casting. The fit and finish is far superior to the $15 HF gun which...
