Re: Door tooling and jigs

 

Thank you Lance
The pc 59381 is in fact what I had and it sounds like the 126 may have been what I had.
Thank you for the help and the lnk to Templaco.
I do not remember having to flip the PC hinge template. I remember it was pinned to the door and the jamb at the same time and you routed both together.
I will keep my eyes open for the 126, it was a great bevel planer

PC Hinge jig-click see all buying options at right


The Bosche hinge jigs are my preference. I've had both. More accurate than the PC, as the jig doesn't happen to be flipped upside down to move from door to jamb. Originally sold as Stanley, they're the same jigs. Unfortunately, they are no longer manufactured.

Templaco Bore master kits (best made) and other templates/tools???

If doing a bunch of the same doors, Templaco will make custom hinge jigs:?

If there are good door and jamb suppliers anywhere nearby, see what they have for fixed hinge jigs.

The Porter Cable 126 Porta Plane, with spiral carbide blades is the best door planer by miles. Also, no longer available, but now that most door people just use pre-hung and split jamb doors, with patience they can be found used..

Happy hunting,

Lance

?Hi all I am looking for the following tooling that I had as a kid and made the stupid mistake of selling back in the day.
i do believe they are long out of production but maybe some of you might have one laying around you want to sell or can give a recommendation on something equal or better.
This is what i had, dont have part #"s
Porter cable door boring jig, it did 2-3/8, 2-3/4, Dills of 1-5/8 and 2-1/4"? it was a great set and easy to use.
Porter cable Hinge routing template set, it was 4 templates adjustable 3.5 4.0 4.5 and i believe 5"? It had bars to hook it all together and i could do 6/8 7/0 & 8/0 doors easy.
and last
Porter cable bevel planer, it was good and I really can do this on my machines, I would buy it anyway for specific tasks.

I guess the local door shop is not doing well and I am getting a lot of requests hang doors, luckily I know this well as I owned a door shop for 10 years?
i am looking to get the basics and see how this goes before I break down and get a Norfield Magnum.
If you have any of these you want to unload, I am interested, Or if you
know of better stuff, I would would like to hear.
Thanks in advance
Glen
Never thought I was going down this path again.

I don't want to take my A3-31 out of service waiting for the Byrd head to arrive.

As others have done, I've searched the internet and have not found anything specific for the A3-31.

I recently ordered (05/28/21) the head, bearings, extra screws and extra cutters from?expect to receive it by the end of this month (June). The delay is normal because Byrd does not stock any cutterheads and the heads are made to order in small batches or individually.

Re: Rotary Airlock

 

I have the same Clearvue connected to my Dual 51. ?It handles the chip load fine without an airlock. ?I would check your cyclone, barrel, and filter assembly for leaks. ?For instance, if you have a leak in your barrel/lid this would inhibit the chips from falling out of the cyclone as they should. ?

Re: A3 31 planer rollers #jointerplaner

 

According to a service technician, if you leave the rollers engaged for several weeks/months the pressure of the belt can deform one of the fly wheels (not sure exactly what it¡¯s called), and in result you will develop a flat spot and it will make a thump sound when you run the machine. I¡¯m guessing this is the same as when a band saw is left tensioned for an ¡°extended¡± amount of time.


Re: Shop Tour down under

 

Thanks for sharing Albert.

The new machine looks like right at home there.

Are you in Oz??

David,
I sanded the floors of my small 100m2 house with proper floor sanding machines and that was a nightmare. So my hat well and truly goes of to you and your Bosch! How's the back pulling up?!

Hi Albert:

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. You¡¯ve got a beautiful shop there. Nicely laid out with moving around room. I always secretly chuckle to myself that David B. calls his Northfield sander a ¡°wide belt sander¡± ¡­ nice to see a real wide-belt. (And now David is secretly saying ¡°f#3k you very much Lucky!¡± LOL)

Your shop looks nice and clean too. If only my shop looked that good!
