Hello all,
I have a question for you, I purchased a Frued RS 1000 cope set a while back and have recently been fooling with it. All in all is seems be be a very well designed set up. I do have one problem, when doing the cope cuts for stile and rails the copes don't seem to intergrate well with the stile cuts......
When putting the stile and rail together there is always a small gap on the top surface. when laying flat on a table the two members have a 1/32" gap, I can close it with a clamp but that's not the proper thing to do, plus it raises the two stiles slightly. I've been fooling around with this for few days on and off and I can't get this to work properly...... I went the extent of building a sled with De-sta-co clamps with hopes that would solve my problem...............................
Now the rest of the cut interlocks fine with the stile cuts........ I've made sure that the cutters are properly seated in the body, and my spindle is properly aligned and not leaning. My shaper is able to move 45 degrees but it is right on the money.
If anyone has run into this problem please let me know how you solved it. Thank you
Ben
