RE: Flattening Jig

The only downside with making it taller That said, it is easier to add a riser layer to the bed of the jig to bring thin material closer to the cutter than it is to raise the height of the rails.

RE: Flattening Jig

that cutter is 52mm This is a great cutter and I love Wealden products, and I think they offer the best value for money of any UK brand. My only concern is that this is quite a big cutter to be using...

RE: Flattening Jig

My existing set-up uses a 50mm rail height. The only downside with making it taller is that, if you also need to flatten something thinner, then your router bit might not be long enough to reach A v...

RE: Flattening Jig

there is nothing to stop a narrow blank being held diagonally I had thought of that after commenting @darrenking but wasn’t sure if it was a whack idea or not. So I guess it isn’t! 😆

RE: Flattening Jig

I’m guessing a bit more clearance may be a good idea. OK, I’ll increase it to 60mm and if anyone finds that this it too high then they can always trim the rails down a little bit themselves. Sound li...

RE: Flattening Jig

maybe this is just designed for body blanks? Hadn’t thought about neck blanks. I could add about 80mm to the length without it too much of an issue and there is nothing to stop a narrow blank being h...

RE: Flattening Jig

I think it looks great @darrenking! The height of 50mm sounds good but perhaps it’s right on the edge? Most body blanks end up around 45mm but depending on how thick it is before planing, it could be ...

@tej Sounds like it will be ok. I don’t use a lot of machines but cleaning sticky wood residue is the same on any tool even a hand saw, so if it does that no worries. I only use silicone on parts that...

RE: Machine Wax

Any parts the you might want to glue or finish will be affected by residue from lubricants. @rocknroller912 that was my main concern, this one states that it’s not silicone based and doesn’t Mark or ...

RE: Airbrush kit

A compressor is a wonderful excuse to buy all sorts of other tools, including a venturi bagpress unit. Hopefully I can avoid getting one though, since we have a couple at my hackspace (including a ver...
