Re: Shop Tour
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýRandy, what you have was/is my plan but so far i have not found an articulating table in my budget. there is also lack of space. i will need to find space for what i store in the cabinet below the top. imran On Oct 30, 2020, at 10:48 AM, Randy Child via groups.io <strongman_one@...> wrote:
? When I used Joel's Barth table, I looked closely at the thickness of the top and it was 1-1/4" thick.? That's what I went off of.? I had a 3/4" melamine top before I made my MFT top that I have now and the melamine did not work very well. While the Barth tables are nice, I wanted a larger table where I could put tall pantry or refrigerator cabinets on it and not have them hang off the ends and have plenty of room to work.? What's even better is the fact I can raise or lower the table to a comfortable working height no matter what I'm working on and lower the table all the way down to just slide the cabinet off the table and onto a dolly or up to my truck beds height.? It's been a really good addition to my shop

top is 3/4¡± prefinished maple used for cabinets. i am more concerned with depth. dogs are commonly used on thick top benches. while a low profile dog will definitely work on my top i am just not sure if clamp would. good to have this info. i can always glue another layer. imran On Oct 30, 2020, at 9:00 AM, Randy Child via groups.io <strongman_one@...> wrote: ? it depends on what the top is made of and just how much pressure you exert on the clamp.. If the top is MDF, or melamine probably not.? My top is double layer of 13 ply Baltic birch so it has the "mass" to keep from distorting the hole when clamping

Randy and James, i am using these <image0.jpeg> i wonder if the dog style (like you are showing) will work with only 3/4¡± thick top. i could not find that info on the bessey website. any ideas? imran On Oct 29, 2020, at 10:46 PM, Randy Child via groups.io <strongman_one@...> wrote: ? Hi Imran.. I bought the Bessey hold down clamps off of Zoro they are # TW16-20-10-2K.? The adapters are from Lehigh valley abrasives and are part #?

Iman, Barth table uses hold down clamp, fast forward to 3:08 in the following youtube video, you can see the hold down clamp which is different from the Festool clamp, obviously it is faster and easier to use than Festool clamp :) You can get the hold down clamp, but I am not sure where to get the adapter?
