Everything that fits on the standard table will fit on the 18" table.  Only difference is you don't have to remove the fence to use the sliding table and the xtra 3" on either side of course.  I have 3 of them left until I run tables again.  Probably 6-8 months

Ok,  so if you're ripping planks 1/8 x say 1/16 first surface your stock on a thickness sander or buy sheets that are 1/8.  With our thickness sander you can easily surface your stock to 1/8 or .125 + or - .001 which should be close enough.  Don't surface your stock to 1/16 and rip the planks on the edge.  Your going to sand the hull when you're done so always do it this way.  Look down the side of the stock and start on the side that is the straightest.  If both sides are bowed take a small plane and square up one side the best you can.  Now set up the saw with a 3"  .03 kerf slitting blade and the mic stop if you have one.  Move the fence so it's 1/16 from the blade, eyeball it or use a scale and then set the mic stop to 0 and move it to the fence.  Take your stock on the straight side, lay it up against the fence(fence extension removed) and run it through the saw.  Measure it with a caliper and adjust the fence with the mic stop.  Now start cutting your planks.  Keep light pressure on the stock toward the fence with your left hand just south of the blade and push it through with the right.  When your stock gets close to the blade use a push stick.  I use a piece of scrap stock and push it all the way through till it falls off the back of the saw.  You should be able to rip your planks + or - .001 this way

What size planks are you ripping?

Do you mean ripping planks?

Why would you need that?

No motors yet, expect them next week though

2 days to set it up and send it back.  No alignment issues, everything is aligned from here.  You just have to bolt it back on.  You send the whole table assembly,  table, rails, fence, fence extension, arbor mechanism  and flanges, no blade

It's 625.00 for the 120v saw  650.00 for the 230v saw  175.00 if you just want the table

To do that it would be a whole new machine.  Aren't there a few good 10' diameter sanders on the market

Jim.

Didn't see it,  send it to jdm@cfl.rr.com

8000-10,0000 rpm would be about the best.  Use carbide 3 flute endmills don't bother with the HSS endmills.  Carbide will last 10 times as long and only cost a few bucks more. I get mine from GW Schultz, they are the best I know of.  You can get smaller ones from MSC down to .005

Do you  have an order #

Jim

Everyone

Due to manufacturing delays from our suppliers because of the coronavirus, we are unable to take new orders for machines requiring a 120v motor.

All orders currently in-house will be shipped within the next two weeks.  We do have 230v machines available for our international customers as well as all accessories and blades listed for all the machines.

We apologize for this inconvenience.  We have been given a schedule for mid- to end-of June for delivery of the 120v motors.  If they arrive sooner We'll let you know

Stay safe,

Donna and Jim

Proxxon DH40 used twice good as new $450.00 + the ride from  Florida

Ouch!  That really must put a dent in your potential customer base. 

Yes it has.  Between  the ridiculous shipping cost, vat taxes and duty our international customer base has gone down quite a bit.  Shipping cost in the states has also doubled in the last 6 years

Jim

Bob

In the last few years all the carriers have done away with international shipping by ship.  I think the USPS was the last to go and you're right, international shipping has doubled in the last 5 years.  I can only ship ground to Canada now.  I shipped a saw to Latvia last week, $426.00

Checked the website email this morning, seems to be working just fine.  I'll have my website guy take a look at it

The fence is tapered from the blade center to the rear of the saw

The miter slots in the table are .499  +.000  -.001.  Reason for that is because the miter slide stock comes in at .500  +.003  -.001 and it is not usually straight or flat.  The miter bars are machined then ground to .497  +.000  -.001.  More than likely 1/2 x 1/8 steel stock won't fit without a lot of sanding.

From everything I've read the 1797 configuration would of had gun port lids that were hinged or pinned and removed before battle so if you are building it with the guns run out there shouldn't be any lids showing.  Check the Bass book "Super frigate of many faces" and TGM's Constitution Close up.

Malco  got hit pretty hard after Thurston closed and are pretty far behind in their production.   Thurston only made HSS blades,  Malco does both HSS and carbide and I believe they only have 1 machine to grind the HSS
