You are a very smart, engineer minded young man with a very good knack for solving problems. I always enjoy your videos, they are very well done and the way you narrate what your doing makes them flow very well. I feel like I learn something every time I watch.
Nice job. I have the same jointer and have identified the same issue with the fence. I'm glad to have found this. I think I will be making myself one in soon. Thank you
good job . I'm am an old carpenter with over 35 years of building under my belt.. I was thinking . why did you not make the fence longer? .. keep up the good work my Brother and God Bless
Great work, especially with the free hand band saw cuts! I'm going to be using the existing bracket for my fence and the only part I will be changing is the actual fence structure itself using melamine so it glides well. keep up the good work
Thanks for sharing this. I like to put a chamfer in the bottom of home made fences for better registration in a dusty environment. You may have done that or there is a gap between table and fence, i couldnt tell from video.
Well done on all of your videos, you do well on every one I have ever seen and I have never missed any bit out. You have a lot of good ideas keep it up.
*Just as I expected I have nothing bad to say about this jointer **MyBest.Tools** make a solid clean and level cut and adjusts in increments of 1/8ths and 1/4s I ran stock 2"x4" x8" at 12' long and had no issue.*
That is a very good solution. I have the same planner and the same problems.... But don't you have problems with the knife that they can touch the fence when you raise them?
Thanks for that - I have a similar model & so far I have just screwed a piece of 19mm plywood to the existing fence - even this has improved it (but your way looks better)
Gutes Video. Ich schaue jetzt seit ca. 2 Jahren Holzwerken-Videos und frage mich wieso ich nicht früher auf deinen Kanal aufmerksam geworden bin. Weiter so.
Exactly what I was planing to do with my similar machine. Thank you! Genau das was ich auch benötige, wenn ich meine Maschine erstmal auspacke und überprüfe. Vielen Dank für Deine Mühe. I´ll rebult it if the Time will come :)
Thanks for sharing! Awesome fence. I have the exact same model, and also made a new fence, although it's not adjustable like your version, so I might copy a bit from your design ;) However, the thicknesser is also not parallell to the cutter head. Do you have the same problem? If not, do you have any ideas of how to fix it? I'm planning to make some kind of longer base, but it would have to be made completely parallell to the cutter head. Thanks :)
Now that you've had this jointer/planer for the last two-ish years, what gripes do you have with it? If you were looking to get a jointer and planer, what would influence your decision-making?
Hello Marius - i am looking to buy my 1st planer / jointer combination but all the new (cheaper) brand machines seem to have good and bad reviews. Can you perhaps recommend some models which you think may be a good investment? My budget is £400 (450 euros) - Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! I have the same jointer, but the issue I'm having is that when edge jointing, the stock comes out concave. I.e. there is less material in the middle of the stock so when I want to edge glue it there is a larger gat in the center. What can I do? I've adjusted the knives according to the manual (using the provided tool) but the problem remains.
Very nice solution. I have picked up a big jointer i need to restore, its fence are just a peice of wood. Will look into your design when i restore it and see if i can use that. Thanks for sharing. Sidenote, i have a lot of the same plywood with laminate (here in denmark its used for trailer floors or concrete molds). How did you remove the laminate ?
I just bought totally the same machine and like you I made the extension bed for the planer. However every time I pass a board trough, the knives always eat a large chunk, mostly at the end sometimes at the very front. I thought I screwed up the extension, but it does it also without it. Did you ever have this? Do you know if it can be adjusted in any way?
This upgrade is just awesome! Gives me the feeling I might buy such a cheap model and upgrade it. On the other hand I might buy Metabo's combo machine (but it's quite expensive and heavy...) How does the thiknesser work? My friend has something similar to your model and he says it's not very exact (it's hard to adjust the desired thickness) and it sometimes moves a bit, so after planing a lot of wood the first and the last piece are no longer the same thanks for the great content, I really enjoy your videos (also due to your simple and clear naration) :)
jakoball Well, that's the price you pay for a cheap machine like this. I didn't run into major problems with the thicknessing so far. If you can (enough money, space...) get the metabo.
are your infeed and outfeed table co-planar? my infeed table is sagging at far end from the cutter block. I wonder if I'm unlucky with my unit or it is just designed that way and replacement will not sold the issue. If your jointer has the same fault are you able to get wood perfectly flat and square? thanks
Hey Top!! Ich habe praktisch die baugleiche Chinamühle von Scheppach. Da ist der Anschlag zwar etwas stabiler, genügt allerdings trotzdem nicht meinen Ansprüchen. Ich wollte auch etwas ähnliches bauen! Bist du mit deiner Version jetzt komplett zufrieden oder sind dir im Betrieb noch Dinge aufgefallen die du ändern würdest? Ich habe mich bisher gescheut weil er dann nicht mehr kippbar ist, andererseits brauche ich das praktisch auch fast nie! Wie sind da deine Erfahrungen? LG Norb
Naja, der Dickentisch ist etwas klapprig und zu kurz. Da werd ich wahrscheinlich auch nochmal was für machen. Zufrieden ist hier glaub ich relativ. Die Maschine tut das was man von ihr erwarten kann. Das einzig halbwegs störende ist die Oberfläche der Tische. Etwas "rillig" und deswegen gleitet das Holz nicht so super drüber. Die Kippfunktion war mir total egal. Lieber zuverlässige 90°, die man immer braucht, statt unzuverlässige 90-45°, die man so gut wie nie braucht und für die es auch andere einfache Methoden gibt.
Ja da hast du schon recht, man muss ihn praktisch nie kippen! Es gibt extra Gleitmittel damit das Holz besser rutscht, viele verwenden wohl auch Wachs!
Danke Ganz toll. Eine Frage ; ich suche eine Bauanleitung für das Tool mit dem du die Fingerzinken sägst, mit dem Drehzahnrad. Kannst du mir da bitte weiterhelfen. Danke und Grüße. Kurt
What brand was this jointer? I already own a commercial jointer which joints up to 50cm but i need another small one for my second work shop and a kitty or any other decent old planer isbt really something i found sofar..
Hast du schon mal die Messer getauscht bei der Maschine? Waren bei meiner Ausführung schrecklich ausgerichtet und ärgere mich jetzt schon lange herum sie in die richtige Position zu bringen.... Hast du evtl einen Tipp bzw Lust ein Video zu dem Thema zu machen? Ineteressiert sicher viele, wenn man sich anschaut wieviele sich hier für die Maschine interessiern oder eine haben. LG
Really nice job there Marius. I only found this video on ur channel today and now I see it's 7 years old? Jesus H Christ man.. This thing has been around this long? Do u still have it mate?? If u do is it still working fine or did u throw it in the trash?? I have one and found it to be ok. The only problem for me is that damn fence the put on it. I unfortunately was too stupid at the time of purchase and I also bought the TITAN TABLE SAW.. LUAO at me now everybody in this comment section. I don't trust it to cut anything bcos I feel like it'll take my fingers off with the board I'm attempting to cut. Anyways I've only owned both about 5/6 months or less. I think i WAS CRAZY AT THE TIME TO BUY THE tABLE SAW BUT i DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER AND IT WAS CHEAP WHICH SHOULDA TOLD ME MORE THAN i KNEW .. I'm going to replace the table top 2morrow. I have all the kit to replace it but it'll be plywood or MDF, 18mm. The only upside is the blade is 80mm height at 90 Degrees which I 'm willing to lose that with the New top for better safety and cleaner cuts with better mitre slots/tracks and a great Mitre Gauge from China.. One of those expensive one from Wnew or something with the clever locking on each angle.. IUt has a lovely Brass handle which sold it to me.. hahahahahahahahahahaha! I'm easily pleased as my woman tells me constantly. She tries to tell me sex once a week makes me happy but she has no clue that I pay for hookers every day after work.. Ugh! I wish she'd just give in and let me pump the life outa her every night. She'd be so much happier if she'd just allow me that little pleasure and I know she loves it too.. haha! I'm buzzin' of course.. She lets me pump her 2/3 times a week.. LMAO,, Ok this went a bit too far. Apologies for this weird shit bro. I love pumping my missus even if she is a frigid geebag. I drive her head through the headboard once a week..
Adjusting the blades (and resharpen them), making the thickness table parallel to the cutter head and adjusting the chain tension that moves the thickness table.
Marius Hornberger By the way. I have a similar machine and made a longer table for the thickness planer by just screwing two cleats onto a piece of plywood. Really recommend it. Does wonders for the snipe on short pieces.
It's a shame you lost one to two inches of table space, I'm surprised you allowed that. Time for a refit to get back what you have lost and maybe make it full length?. ;-) btw - I'm guessing a three bladed cutter is better then a two bladed cutter? Can you swap out a two for a three bladed cutter?
Looking where the original (flimsy) fence was versus the new one it looks like the new fence is taking up more table space (3/4" minimal?). From what you have said the face of the new fence is in the same place as the original. That's good. :-) I still would have made it full length. ;-)
Marius machst seine Videos auf Englisch Weill das mehr Abonnnten gibt. Ich bin Däne, spreche aber sowohl Deutsch Als English und ich finde das Marius Videos sehr Gutes inhalt haven.
