shaneymack Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Nice work as usual Shane. Was there a reason you didn't have a throat plate in the router table when you did the pattern cut? Ya I didn't have one with a hole big enough for that bit. I have other blank inserts but didn't feel like drilling a hole appropriate for that bit. Lazy....

wdwerker Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 When routing a well supported part in a jig and making large amounts of shavings I have found that using a larger throat plate or no throat plate does improve dust collection. I used a tee and connected my dust collector to my router table above and below . WOW major improvement over a large shop vac . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Good thing you got started on these when you did, I heard bubinga was officially added to CITES list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One hose in fence and one below both joining to dust collection. I get pretty much 100% collection.

Ya thas what @Minnesota Steve mentioned earlier today. My dealer told me this was going to happen long ago and that was one of the reasons i wanted to do these out of Bubinga. I bought almost all he had left in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the leevalley website last night to take advantage of the free shipping offer. I thought the prices seemed high, like the low-angle jack plane was $279 instead of $245 last time I looked. I wondered if the price just jumped because of Bubinga? And then I realized I was looking at the prices in Canadian. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post shaneymack Posted January 18, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Got the joinery finalized for the back legs. Had to get creative to get these dados cut in the curved leg Here is how i tackled the front dado For the inside dado i had to tape a piece of plywood to rest againt the miter gauge. Was way to dangerous without it I added this zero clearance fence to help me line up my knife marks to plow out the material Rounded over the inside corner again with the plywood for support against the fence Everything fit pretty good. No major issues so far. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
