That sounds about right Warren. I have a Tersa drawing somewhere, when I get a chance I’ll look for it. Two totally different animals though if you are trying to compare to a normal straight knife...

Agree with Brian about the air clamps, makes everything a more predictable operation. I do a few off line rips on the short stroke slider but if I didn’t have the straight line rip would be doing...

Tom, that old UK saw in the Fosberg video is a very dangerous setup. I had seen that years ago and tried it out on my slider by putting a 20” blade in raised all the way up with the fence pulled back...

The Graule with the horizontal handle would be difficult to operate straight arm. Not necessary's anyway. These saws have a positive feed different from other radials I’ve used. In addition to the...

Fold slide systems usually require weight bearing headers. These openings were about 10’ wide. Notice the substantial header.

Lift and Slide systems in smaller widths say less than...

Michael, the Kolle machine had a removable stop with locating dowels that could be set on either side of the table at various locations.
you could possibly fabricate something like this then use a...

Bill, doweling has to be accurate. The euro machines have spacing stops for the drilling head of 15mm, 20mm 32mm etc. so you butt the stile to the stop and drill a sequence of holes. Then the mating...

John, I’ve had a few horizontal drills. Started out in the 70s with a Newton. Only doing cabinets at the time. It wasn’t too bad and later went to a Ritter. I made both of those work but marginal...

That SCM shaper is a good deal. Far better than any others discussed, new or used. It even has a tenoning hood for running cutters larger than 250mm.
Phase converters are easy. I ran my whole shop...

Yes, the rebate and groove sounds like a good idea.

John, I would picture a section something like this. Glue and clamp with PVA double coating the ply. Would be plenty strong.

Might be best to make a sample corner of each. I’ve never done these but think I would prefer a mitered corner and treat it like thick edge banding. Probably would rebate it so the inside edge...

If I am understanding your constitution you have full thickness stave core stiles - 1” thick rails centered then vertical planks on to these to end up flush with the stiles. All t&g together but not...

Zimmermann is one Bandsaw manufacturer that has electric lift of the upper guides. Rare to find here and expensive.
My Agazzani 36” band saw had a horrible lifting system with plastic gears that...

Jim, early on I had a SCM combo that was difficult to adjust the height on and it pretty well stayed at 1mm removal and just make a few passes with crooked material. I said I move mine a lot but in...

Most all high end Euro jointers have motorized adjustment of the infeed table. It’s a nice feature and I move mine a lot. A lot of the vintage euro jointers had hydraulic up and down or a simple...

I built a European style bench back in the 80s. It was a pleasure to build and has been a joy to use all these years! The side vise with the sliding jack board gets used a lot for edge work on doors....

Kevin, I think the M42 is ok for clear softwoods but most custom shops run a wide variety of hardwoods and softwoods. Myself a lot of knotty white oak and sometimes recycled oak from old barn...

I came to the same conclusion about Carbide Tersa Larry. It’s expensive but when you do the math with lineal footage it becomes obvious what the most economical route is. The other thing about...

I used to buy from Macbeth they have some unique products. Way back they used to run a truck up here once a month. Not any more and too expensive to go common carrier.
Intermountain and National...

Andrew, I just bought clear alder for $4 per Bd Ft from Intermountain. National in Denver is about the same. Seems like last time I bought it was $2.50. Nothing surprises me anymore on costs. Alder,...

For a cheaper material that would hold up with paint I would consider Eastern White pine. Heartwood and tight growth rings if you can find it. The big window companies gave wood windows a bad...

Not something I use a lot but handy for some special setups.

John, Pro Lock made a router spindle for my T23. Martin should also have them available for the T20 to fit the Dorn Fix shaft.
might be less money through ProLock.
