Re: Veneering: Substrate & Supplier
I haven¡¯t purchased MDO since 2017, so the quality may have gone down. I do know that the stuff at the big box stores is not quality ply. ?When I did buy it, it was always through a yard that catered to the pro cab builders. ?Combo-core is great but is easily dented and edge-damaged, so it requires careful handling in pay experience.?

Re: Articulating Shop Light
Jim,
This is what I have. It must be the advantage of direction as these are 5K lumens or my 4¡¯ LED bulbs are not as many lumens as advertised. We are talking 3 fixtures to 17. Granted the shop is 70% bigger but still ¡.

Re: Maintenance on BF6-31 - how to clean and lubricate saw rise/fall
Thank you - I'll persist without trying to dismantle anything else!

When I bought my T72 24 years ago this option was about $2600. I imagine twice or three times now if still available. Aigner has one also if it is still available.

Re: Maintenance on BF6-31 - how to clean and lubricate saw rise/fall
There is a rod that conects to the tilt if I remember correctly and has an aluminum bearing block, might also grease that and make sure it¡¯s not pinching. Mac,,

Re: Sheet good recommendations
Hi Murray:
?
Sorry to drop the ball on this discussion. Thanks a lot for sharing your local knowledge on Sharp Panels and BGB. Darren Oates has a proven track record to producing commercial quantities of shop sawn materials.
I have a lot of respect for him!
?
Regarding ¡°making your own¡±, that¡¯s exactly what I do when I have a high-end project that needs a certain look, or I¡¯m using a very special piece of timber. The case of this chest of drawers was solid Australian
blackwood, but the client wanted master grade fiddleback Australian blackwood for the fronts. So I resawed a 50mm board into 4mm veneers and then made my own laminated drawer fronts by resawing lots of ¡°ordinary¡± blackwood, mixing up the grain, and then gluing
together a 25mm drawer front consisting of many layers of blackwood with the special fronts. This allowed maximum quality and control on a stable drawer front in ¡°solid wood¡± but with the special show faces.
?
Anyway, I hope your day is turning out great!
Lucky
?
Warm regards,
Lucky

Lucky, thanks for the response. Regarding the Wood Review article I was just suggesting a standard magazine article. I know they have plenty of good topics,
but the subject of built-in and library construction struck me is being really interesting and I don¡¯t believe they have done anything on this in the past.
Regarding plywood supplies, I¡¯ve just checked and it seems that Sharp Plywood have been reincarnated as Sharp Panels. I think they do custom veneer of plywood
and they would be worth a look. Also, there is a guy called Steve at Nerang with a company called BGB plywood . he sells relatively inexpensive ¡°marine¡± plywood. I bought a bundle of a couple of years ago for non-critical work such as planter boxes, a pool
pump cover and a tool cabinet I¡¯m planning on building. There are some pluses and minuses with this plywood. On the downside, although it is called Marine plywood I would never have it anywhere near a boat. it has a gaboon veneer on the outside. Many of the
sheets that I bought, had a defect, consisting of faint, dark lines, running perpendicular to the grain. I was planning on, finishing many of them with a solid acrylic, so this didn¡¯t concern me, and I thought that just a few passes with the sandpaper would
remove them. With every sheet of marine plywood I have ever used in the past the outer layer is not a wafer thin veneer, but an actual ply of reasonable thickness. With the BGB plywood, it is thin veneer, which you can sand straight through very easily.
On the plus side however, it seems to have very good thickness consistency and a very fair flat surface. Judging by the end grain, it doesn¡¯t have too many
voids. It¡¯s a couple of years since I bought the bundle I have, it¡¯s been stored in a carport, partially exposed, and is showing no signs of any delamination warping, etc.
I had a significant victory recently with my first attempt at shop sawing wide veneers(thanks to Darren Oates). I am now planning on doing my own veneers for
the aforementioned tool cabinet, and I think BGB plywood should be okay for this purpose. if you have some non-critical tasks coming up, it¡¯s probably worth buying a couple of sheets and doing your own assessment.

Re: CMT Orange 8" Locked Dado Pro Blade Set
Hammer machines have a maximum dado diameter of 180mm, larger than that and they can collide with the saw structure.
Felder-Group Canada sell an FS Tools 6¡± dado stack for the Hammer machines and an 8¡± in 24 or 40 tooth for Felder machines.
