Re: AD941 vs. Baileigh JP-1898-NC
Ready to pull the trigger, but having 2nd thoughts? I think that it's normal to do that....but along the lines of what Brian said...it's not really an apples to apples comparison here.

Re: AD941 vs. Baileigh JP-1898-NC
Thanks for that Brian. It does look quite impressive though. I wonder about the accuracy. My AD941 is spot on for thickness.

Hello,
I am about ready to pull the trigger on a AD941.? Then I see that this Baileigh beast is on sale for less than the quote I got for the AD941.? This unit does not require a switch over and has a power drive mech like an AD951.

Re: AD941 vs. Baileigh JP-1898-NC
I did do some digging to look at his IG and I see his AD951... damn three phase.? Wonder what the diff in cost is from a 941 to a 951.? some stuff may be standard and not optional?

Re: AD941 vs. Baileigh JP-1898-NC
Interesting that they are quoting that Liam T has one, pretty sure he has an ad951. I will let Liam speak for himself...

Zero Clearance Inserts for Hammer K-3
Hey gang...I’m new to the forum, but thought I’d share my ZCI’s. As you all know, most sliding table saws have much to be desired
when it comes to the saw blade insert. Small off-cuts are constantly getting jammed or flung across the shop! There is simply too much space around the blade, or even with other zero clearance inserts, once the blade plunges through it, there is only a small
amount of insert material remaining to the left of the blade. Weak!?
Mine are superb!?
These quality ZCI’s will minimize tear out, eliminate small off-cuts from getting wedged, and make cutting on your Hammer K-3 so much safer!??Made of Baltic Birch
and covered on both sides with high pressure laminate (Formica) that is adhered with epoxy (rather than contact cement)...this creates a smooth, strong and very rigid insert.
I’ve shipped over 70 of these with hugely positive feedback. So far these fit:?
Hammer K-3
Felder CF-531
Hammer C3 31
Felder K500P and K500S (please check! The length of mine are 22 13/16” or 579 mm)?
The first link/video (scroll down to see video) shows the inserts in action...the second link is a vid that shows an easy and safe way to elongate the saw kerf to
accommodate the riving knife. ?And how I cut the slot for the scoring blade. ?Thanks a ton, Ramon

Re: Aigner Distometer alternative?
I have always used a dial height gage, similar to one of these, I think mine is 6” instead of 8”:
?
Or, you can add a spacer block under your Lamb Tool Works indicator holder, that’s why we drill and tap two holes in the bottom, and get a longer drop indicator and you have pretty much the same thing. A 2” spacer with a 3” drop indicator will get you 3” of measurement range.

Glenn,
? ? ? ? ? ?I ran a timber business in Northern Ireland for twenty four years. For approximately a five year period during that time, we stored all of our machined hardwoods and softwoods in twenty foot containers double stacked. On the ground floor containers, we racked them out with 2"x1" box iron frames in 24"x24" sections. Bolted an Elu chop saw on the inside of the door for easy ?cross cutting of the timber.
No more twists or shakes than normal, no damp or water ingress ,although we have a very different climate from you!?
Great for security, easy to reconfigure storage in your premises as no planning permission required, and no local council taxes applicable, as containers were regarded non permanent structures and we moved them around every six months.

Glen,

I was wondering if anyone stores material in shipping containers.
I was recently approved to be a distributor for moulding and
hardwoods. I am moving forward with the building addition to
accommodate that but that is a lot of nice footage to store
product that i would like to keep for shop space . So in my
thinking shipping containers would let me keep my new shop space.
I know there are condensation problems with containers and trying
to figure how to deal with that. I think the issue is manly MDFU
as much as I hate it, it is the trend here, The other line I got
was Bodyguard which will be more stable than MDF. Containers are
cheap to buy and I have the room, but I have to eliminate the
condensation issue. Any Thoughts?
Thank you as always,
