Re: Hammer zero clearance insert

 

Here is mine. It involves cutting a blank (which are obtainable from Felder), removing the thin remaining insert sliver, and adding an aluminium L-section to the side of the insert. Note that this can only be used when the blade is vertical.

John,

My friend and brother both have one of these sanders and both came with DRO's from Powermatic.? They are Accurate Technologies brand.

?

?

Not the cheapest, but I put one on a double drum sander I had and I liked it.

John,

The Northstate and Powermatic 1632 WB machines are identical except for the paint and badging. ?

Yes, I have installed a Wixly DRO. ?Photos of the install below. ?It works fine but it is crude/cheap and I don¡¯t especially like the method of calibrating it (download the manual and read it before you buy). ?I would recommend the Accurate if you can spend the bucks (same comment about reading manual first). ?I posted some info on adjusting the slewing of the upper control roller that determines the belt tracking limits and rate of change here: ?https://flic.kr/s/aHskkF1CTX ? If you ever need a new feed belt or graphite cloth for the platen, I recommend you call Greg Leneave: ??(800) 442-2302?. ?Excellent service.

Others have asked me in DM¡¯s about how to eliminate snipe with this sander. ?Here is how I reply:

I have owned the Northstate Widebelt sander you have for over 20 years now and gotten great service out of it. ?I even posted some videos a long time back on how to adjust the belt tracking, and you¡¯ll find some posts in the archive about the platen and how to replace the graphite cloth. ?The snipe issue you are having is the result of the board coming free from the downfeed pressure roller on the infeed side as the board finishes the final 4-inches of travel. ?There are three things you can do to reduce and often eliminate trailing edge snipe:

  • The simplest method to reduce trailing snipe is to manually pull up on the board existing the machine while the last 6-inchs or so of material is being sanded. ?This will help the board not teeter-totter downward on the outfeed side which pushes the board up on the infeed side creating the snipe. ?Just pull up slightly on the board exiting the machine and you¡¯ll see a marked difference.
  • Increase the use of the platen to push the sanding belt down into the board rather than leaving the rubber drive drum to do that work.
  • Adjust the position of the infeed pressure roller so that it doesn¡¯t push as hard - this is a tedious adjustment but not rocket science. ?I¡¯m attaching the user manual for your sander in case you don¡¯t have one. ?Page 15 details the pressure roller setup, and its parts #15 which are responsible for the positing of the feed roller relative to the bed under the tracking belt. ?You have to disassemble the roller assembly and rotate the position of #15 180¡ã at a time to adjust their height.?

Our msgs probably just crossed. The pic I shared shows the size difference. I jumped because it is beautiful.

Most likely, it does not fit the standard xcut fence.?

Btw, Felder eshop has the less beefy xcut fence stop for $102.??

Hi James,

Re: Excellent new video demonstrating straight-like ripping and parallel fence work

 

Thanks all.? David, those are beautiful sticks of cocobolo.? I still have bruises all over my arms from getting the Goncalo Alves off the trailer into my shop.? I used a roller stand and a lift cart which helped immensely.? For the record, as far as musical abilities go, I can't carry a tune in a bucket or play an instrument.??

Hi,

I don't know if it fits a Minimax SC4, most probably not. Below a drawing with the main dimensions (metric).

Re: OT: What totally unexpected things you have found in the shop

 

Story about carpenter bees.

Our family moved from California to rural Australia in 1964. In 1968/9 my parents built a Cape Cod styled house from plans published in Better Homes and Gardens in the 50's. It was constructed with Douglas fir framing with Western Red Cedar 2x6 ceilings shiplap siding and shake roof. All imported from California.

I was visiting in the mid 1980's and, on looking up at the Cedar cathedral ceiling, noticed lots of tiny pin holes of light like twinkling stars

On investigation, there were circular holes in the end on many of the shakes on the roof. In many cases the holes had gone completely through three layers of shakes and 2"of solid Cedar.??

We called in the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific Investigative Research Organisation).? After a week of checking they came up with carpenter bees as the culprit. Possibly imported from the U. S. with the timber (although already present in other parts of Australia).? The house was fumigated and then a new shake roof was layered over the old one.

My granddaughter wandering around the back of the house.?

Happy election week guys. (Kidding).

Uncle Clint.

I didn¡¯t anticipate the woodchuck (as I remember them as) Bees ? eating the lumber outside but covered on racks, I was more concerned about termites and vermin.? Those bees are scary looking but not aggressive.? ?Their tunnels were very smooth and well crafted, perhaps they should be called woodworker bees?
