I have a Minimax ST3c (the SC3 with a shaper), and I am thinking about making a modification to it, and am wondering if I am missing any downsides/protential problems.

I am thinking about adding a...

I don't know if there's a distributor in your area, but when I was looking for a slider/shaper combo, I looked at Hammer, SCM and Robland. Robland made some very nice tools, in a very similar price...

I don't have a router raizer (or a router table at all, actually)...



But in the interim, and until you get it sorted out, maybe throw a piece of styrofoam insulation or a pillow or something...

I just finished dealing with Rangate (bought a eurogroove cutter for some T/T windows)... I can confirm that they are absolutely excellent to deal with. I cannot speak to pricing (although the...

If you haven't already cut your plywood pieces, you could always leave 2 sides together (26"x30"), which would be a much easier piece to push against the rip fence. I've done something similar...

May I ask why? Is a durability problem or an application problem?

Vertical surface, off the ground. No intricate mouldings.

Hi everyone,
I am working on an exterior millwork project that I would like to last as long as possible, and was wondering if anyone could yay or nay my finishing plans.


It's going to be...

Background: I have an elderly Toolex 25" dual drum sander (Toolex no longer sells tools here in Canada), it is the virtually the same machine as the King Industrial dual drum sander, the Woodtek...

Yeah, I don't have a problem using the fence either, I actually find it quite comfortable. I was just looking for some opinions on what is doable without it.
I have a Minimax ST 3c, which has an...

Just finished cutting my first full cabinet project with my new slider. What a wonderful, curse free experience. The hardest part was getting the sheets onto the slider, and even that was amazingly...

Thanks Dave. That's what I thought, but just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Wish the salesman had made that clearer to me. It came with a spare spindle as part of the deal, and...

I am the new owner of a Minimax ST 3c saw/shaper combo unit, and am getting to know the machine. Fantastic machine, and I am enjoying it immensely. I do, however have a question for anyone out...

Quick background:

I am currently building some euro style windows for my new workshop. They are not tilt/turn, but the same sort of profile, just turn in only. I am using a combination of...

Just returned from Germany, and brought back some door hardware, because I have some doors to build for the house and can't get it easily here.

I realize this is a long shot, but does anyone here own this unit? I just got one for a steal of a deal, but the gauge tool which simplifies the adjustment of the trimmer motors is missing (see:...

Yep, I am aware...


Ahh, to have Felder money... life would be a dream... ;-)


(Seriously though, although I appreciate the sentiment, my banding requirements are *just* enough to require a...

Thank you very much everyone for the helpful advice and replies.


Unfortunately, the edgebander sold (it was a good deal, I figured it would go quick). But I am noticing there's a definite lack...

Would a commercially produced RPC generate clean enough 3 phase input?

Basically, there are two options available to me at the moment locally. There is a natively single phase Virutex eb135, and...

So a VFD would work for this?

In my limited understanding of electrical, I thought VFDs would only work for motors, wired directly with the switch removed. The one bit of information I have been...

Darn, that's what I thought. I am not nearly handy enough with electrical for a solution like that, but it looks like it's the only way. I might have to just let this one go...

Hi, I am relatively new to the forum, and i hope I am posting this in the correct place.

I have stumbled upon a fairly good deal on a Virutex eb140 PLC edgebander:...
