Re: CMT Orange 8" Locked Dado Pro Blade Set

I found this couple of yrs ago at Scott and Seargent when I was selling my CMT dado. My version (run of the mill dado) had been discontinued and replaced with this version. I don¡¯t recall a price of $120 though. That is quite a deal.
The CMT dado I had, worked well and left a flat bottom but I could see few lines left by the individual blades. However, I could not feel any ridges. I posted some pics here.

Looks like it is a great alternative to get the dado capability on the slider. Basically, it can cut dado between 6mm to 20mm. It covers the range of Felder two dado cutters. It is only $120, already sold out.
Of course, you need to have the 30 mm arbor and 2 pin holes bored.

Re: 40 mm rebate spindle cutter flush mount - Australia
Chris I have several Whitehill cutter blocks (and profiles). I get anything that I want from Whitehill faster than I can get an inferior CMT knife locally. (I am in Queensland). ?The Whitehill steel is superior to garden variety 40mm universal knives.?

Re: Lamello Cantex for sale $2000
Wade,
It is the router base designed by Scott Grove. You can find lots of videos on youtube.
James
James,
Is that a Festool base or an aftermarket?
Thx,
Wade ? JB,
If you do a lot of wide solid wood edge banding, Lamello Cantex is the #1 solution.
I use OF1400 with Freud 1-1/4" diameter 1/2" shank dish carving router bit on the ultimate router base to trim wide solid wood edge banding. It works very well because the router rests on the stock, but the downside is no dust collection, it is a mess.
Here below 20mm wide hard maple edging, I removed around 2.5 - 3 mm thick material in one pass, perfect result.
 James I have both the Festool MFK setup and the OF1010 w/ an edging plate. I use them quite a bit.
I find the MFK works really well for thin edge banding, but not much else.
The OF1010 w/ the edging plate does work for wider solid wood edging, but it is difficult to use. Aside from being awkward, w/ can result in an uneven cut, I get tear out. I am using a fancy spiral compression bit, but onerous woods like Doug Fir present quite a challenge. Just yesterday I had to saw off the edging and start over.

Re: 40 mm rebate spindle cutter flush mount - Australia
Hi Chris , The cutter Brent showed from Whitehall? Is a great cutter and there are lots out there .? I think it is a good thing to develop relationships with vendors. I am not a good person to ask as I have lots of cutters in my tool box and not looking for cutters there ?others here ?who can advise what¡¯s happening know. Mac,,

Hi Wade, I usually glue on 1/4" strips and then fit from there. Around 1/8 is ideal for not telegraphing.?

Re: 40 mm rebate spindle cutter flush mount - Australia
Hi Mac, could you recommend a good rebate cutter with steel body/ reversible knife/ side curf cutters etc?
Would love a link to what you recommend.?
Sounds like a dedicated rebate cutter maybe better then a multifunctional cutter head that does passover rebating.?
I can see myself using the spindle 90% of the time for rebates.
As I said before, I will be getting a kf700sp- single phase.
30mm bore on spindle.

Re: Felder K 700 S considering
J,
If this helps in your decision making process, I just installed a? 7.5 HP Rotary Phase Converter - GP7PL Single Phase to Three Phase Converterfrom Phoenix? Phase converters.? ?I did the install myself and had an electrician review my work.? Installation is not difficult especially?if you have space in your breaker panel to run the new circuit.

Many many thanks to all of the reply¡¯s. ? This helped me a ton.? I understand why this group is sought after for information and is a terrific resource.? Again, thank you as you have welcomed me and offered a lot of great advice. ?
To address some of the questions¡..
I looked into getting 3 phase in my shop and yes¡.it was thousands and THOUSANDS of dollars.? I am going to go with single phase. ??
I also agree¡.i am doing this as a hobby and a $28,000 Altendorf would be amazing but not what I need ? ?
I did look into the 5 used machines but we¡¯re located in Vegas, California, Florida. ?

Re: Lamello Cantex for sale $2000
I have the OF1010 with the edging plate. I have to say it is awkward to use because of the weight of the router. I think MFK700 is a better choice to trim edge banding.
You can modify the 0 degree horizontal base to accept the 25mm length router bit.?
Another option is the FastCap little ripper, it can also trim curved edging, that is a plus that MFK700 cannot do.

The problem is the bit length is limited to 5/8" (16mm), so it would not be able to do the job.? Based on the machine design, it's really only a flush trim for veneer or edge banding.? I could have bought an OF1010 router along with the Edging Plate UP-OF + Angle Arm WA-OF.? In the end, I have a friend bring over a No. 7 jointer plane and No. 5 jack plane to flush trim that board and it worked out excellent!?? This is the way I'm going to flush trim these types of boards in the future.
Michael - I looked at the Virutex Electronic Tiltable Trimmer FR292R.? It looks like it supports up to a 20mm straight bit (0.78") and it's cheaper!? If I end up doing edge banding, this might be the tool.? The hand planes may risk pulling off any super thin edge banding, but at that point you just want to use a razor cutter, lol.
