Scoring blade noise

 

Okay, figured out how to get my videos up on Youtube so that emails aren't rejected due to file size.? I just mounted my scoring blade today for the first time.? When I turn on the scoring blade, it makes a kind of buzzing type of sound, almost like there was a belt vibration.? It isn't bad, but I want to ask you all if this is the normal noise from a scoring blade.?

This first video is WITHOUT the scoring blade running and the saw sounds very smooth:


Second video is WITH scoring blade running:


Is this normal for scoring motor?

Thanks,
Aaron

David,
I¡¯ve used the clamps with a 5 mm X 30 mm X 4 inch piece of hard maple in the slot on ?top of the clamp leg. Your design would add substantial strength and stability. Thanks for the design file.

I¡¯ve modeled up the type of adapter you would need as shown below.? If this is what you need, I can post a drawing with dimensions and you can make your own out of hardwood, or I can DM you or anyone else a STEP file and they can 3D print the thing.

Is there a discount for fans of the (original, not the sucky US version) tv series ¡°Rake¡± that helps with shipping, or is this discouraged or frowned upon among our more sophisticated on the other side of the equator?

?

In looking a David Best¡¯s photos I can only imagine a future of nano management of the cellular structure of wood that does not require a mega quantum force of metallurgy over a 2x4 to create a stick of furniture.? Something like a play doh factory for 29 USD with the same level of required programming skill.

?

I am imagining the next brand of Felder to be small nuclear reactors that power a cyclonic synergistic set of tools that will produce a table with breakfast on top, with the right precision of course, after various and sundry missing parts and small scale nuclear disasters occur requiring multiple visits from factory reps.? And of course all of the dust would be sent back to Austria directly from the collectors in order to produce the world¡¯s leading compressed Larch supply.

?

I continue to reserve my option to resort to chain saw precision, or what must be a Japanese tradition of growing trees with specific dimensioned dovetail drawers with Blum hardware included, whichever is easier, cheaper, or better.

?

Someone mentioned having a ¡°good one¡±, and with no antecedent I did not know if that referred to the wife in discussion or to something else.? This is a broad ranging group discussion, so I thought I would ask!!

?

All the very best to those who know what they are doing, and on to your more serious commentary¡­

Hi Derek:

?

I thought I expressed that sentiment? Apologies if I wasn¡¯t clear enough. I like your fixture a lot, particularly as we both do a lot of solid wood projects and use hand tools. I¡¯m grateful for your extra explanations of the what and how of your solution. I¡¯m thinking about making my own solution along similar lines.?

?

However, this is a forum. People expressed their views about buying rather than making. Some agreed and some disagreed. I don¡¯t think there was any intention to express rudeness? Just robust views.?

Greetings from Brisbane. ?

Derek, that¡¯s great that you have something that works for you. How do you do tapers and angles with that wide jig on the end?
Brian, actually simple enough. The stop on the Incra fence slides along the face ¡­




All one has to do is run it to the near end. That will provide a very secure nook for the end of the board to be tapered. Further, since there is a stop, cuts are repeatable.?

Of course, if you really want to go nuts cutting tapers, then this is the ultimate fixture for a slider ¡­

Brian, the second part of your reply involved finances. I shall post to this in a new thread as it is easier to illustrate with another fixture I built (as I could not justify the costs of a new one). I think that this will be welcomed by those with a similar outlook and need to myself. Later.

Re: Festool Clamp Adapter K940

 

Milescraft has a t-slot base that basically just bolts on to a Kreg 3" or 6" bench clamp.? The kit has a 30mm x 35mm t-bolt that fits into the X-Roll sliding table just fine.? I'm using these for the time being until I have the budget for air clamps.


Re: Parallel Guide for Hammer K3 mk3

 

Thank you Jacques

Please note all that I am not meaning to be divisive in my remarks. I was calling for unity by way of a supportive attitude. Incidentally, if you think my concept is flawed or crap, please say so, and then how it can be improved. That would indeed be the start of a useful discussion.

My reply was only in regards to shipping costs adding 50% to the price, that¡¯s not the case. My question for you on currency rates is how does the Australian dollar hold against Australian product? Wages vs. cost? What¡¯s an average wage and what does a loaf of bread or a dozen eggs cost? Or even better, a pound of aluminum and what does anodizing cost? Those are my biggest expenses. This is out of my own curiosity¡­.

We here in the USA are at the same disadvantage if we want to purchase something in Europe and ship it here to the USA, so I suspect importing of pretty much any foreign product is costly in relation to what is available locally.

Re: Parallel Guide for Hammer K3 mk3

To say the least, I am somewhat surprised by the views expressed by some contributors in this thread. Members of FOG, in my mind, are knowledgeable people, willing to help others and interested in producing quality products, while using safe approaches and tooling. Hence my suprise with some of the reactions to Derek's post.

From my perspective, the starting point is the presentation by Derek of his approach for improving his handling of workpieces with a view to ensure safety, precision, repeatability and handling. His post allows people to understand his approach and, should they wish to do so, to copy or adapt the product.

As a hobbyist I like to think that I can appreciate the qualtiy, innovation and performance of products offered on the market, without necessarily feeling the need, urge or desire to buy some of those products. Without having had the chance to own or even test products such as those made by Brian Lamb and Mac Campshure (sorry for not including more potential examples), I am nonetheless absolutely sure that they are selling top notch products that I would enjoy owning and using. In spite of this, I will likely never be one of their customers simply because I choose to limit the money I invest into my hobby.?

Then comes Derek with an interesting approach that can help me enjoy my hobby while increasing performance, all the while preserving the safety aspect. What is wrong with that? Should I, or anybody else with my profile, decide to make a version of Derek's parallel guide has no impact/consequence on the financial performance of people selling this type of equipment since I am not a prospective buyer. Therefore why would it be necessary for some to justify their purchase instead of thanking somebody who enthusiastically shares his passion, know-how and creativity thus allowing everybody to get a new perspective?

Diversity of thinking is a widely accepted concept of enhanced performance in any group. Why would this group be any different in that regard?

Regards,

Jacques


Re: Festool Clamp Adapter K940

 

If you are talking about the green festool thumb clamps they fit but barely. I feel like any clamping pressure would pop them up. I ordered some clamps from Mac, but in the meantime I just used a cnc like Brian mentioned to create a sleeve. You could also just use a router and cut to width.?

This is what tech support sent to me. The tech indicated that 36 was the macro adjustment and the hinge screws were micro adjustment.? Even after loosing the 4 bolts below the hinge and making adjustments to #36 there was no discernible change.?
