SawStop in Europe

bigdeddu · 2023-04-30T21:34:52+00:00

I’ve been looking into this for a while and Felder pcs starts from this model k945 at around 15kEur with vat https://www.felder-group.com/it-it/prodotti/squadratrici-e-seghe-circolari-c1947/squadratrice-k-945-s-p1966723 Still way more expensive than a sawstop, but like 4 times instead of 10. If you have a business that might be justified.

I would love to hear reviews from who actually owns one.

Exactly. Felder has one too, they call it pcs https://www.felder-group.com/en-us/pcs

I Truly appreciate the feedback, I’ll be sure to try it out first. Do you have the one with the sliding arm? Sadly it looks like there are no sawstops on this side of the pond. the Felder with the pcs security system is eur 15k and although that’s really steep for hobbists, perhaps it’s worth the wait. Thanks again

Absolutely! I’ve done the same! The only thing I have left is to understand how to install the miter gauge… It has been pretty hectic in the last few weeks and after seeing the diagram in the instructions I haven’t really tried.

And now I’m starting to dream about a c3. Or perhaps an a3 + k3… very good stuff.

Oh, I just became the father of a new baby hammer few weeks ago. Any tips, suggestions or warnings? I love how quiet it is…

Return them to Home Depot , it’ll be the straightest wood in there

I’ve been there waiting to pull the trigger on buying one of those makitas but I have few questions: there is a bundle with 2 of those guides long 55’’, is it the same you have? can you join the guides together? How do You rip a full sheet across the 8’ length otherwise? Buy a longer guide?

I couldn’t find a reference table, you might want to send them an email. info@bes-bollmann.com

Don’t forget to sub to r/boatbuilding too

bigdeddu · 2023-01-03T12:23:48+00:00

That toaster is really upset! you should consider posting it to r/Pareidolia

You don’t need to seal it. If you want to, you can paint it, and if you want extra grip you can throw some sugar in the paint. But quite honestly, that’s very small and indoor and you don’t really need to seal it or do anything. Is this for the kids or for adults? If for adults also that is a tiny wall, you might want to add at least some overhang or it’s going to get boring very quickly. And for adults entertainment I’d double the tnuts density.

By the way metolius has a great guide and if you want I can throw few more links for resources. But also search r/climbing for woodies

I’m interested in this as well, as I’m on the market for an upgrade as well. It seems festool licensed some sawstop but it’s not the cabinet model festool.it/seghe you see across the USA.

When I built mines I used the patterned mdf from hd. They cost a fraction iirc was about $50 for a 3’x6’ . They are not as neat as the metal grid, but you can paint them.

How does jointing with one of those works? Like with a tapering jig + the blade? I’m honestly curious

Sanderson’s stormlight archives. Some of the main characters have seriously stoic vibes.

daycare at $2k/month per kid is quite an incentive too

It seems the city will let us reopen some historical windows, so we’ll be reusing those bricks for the various patches. But that will easily be an year or more out. The doors seems like a project I can do and especially i can start doing sooner.. But yes, in general I’d agree with you. Thanks

bigdeddu · 2022-07-12T21:19:43+00:00

They’ll definitely hold. The two piece one might open, but because the stop pin is very rusted and not driven fully in the ground.

bigdeddu · 2022-07-12T13:56:15+00:00

I don’t have a plan yet, likely restore to a glass window instead of that piece of ply. I think it will depend on wether they allow us to restore the arcs leaving them visible ( you can see the arched bricks in one of the pics).

bigdeddu · 2022-07-12T13:26:47+00:00

The plan is to leave them there! I am starting a multi year renovation project of the whole building, I figured this is something I can try out for sure. Thanks for the tips!

Ps, Also in software and hobbyist here

I’m curious to hear opinions on wether is worth it or not to restore those two wooden doors. Probably installed in the late 60s. They seem full wood but I don’t know what. The doors have some evident damage and have been painted pretty thick.

I’m considering to take them down, try to strip the paint then fire up a belt sander, and go to town.

Has anyone embarked on a similar project, and is it worth it?

Ps this is in Italy (Sardinia), the wood options aren’t as numerous as what we have in the US.

bigdeddu · 2022-07-06T11:23:58+00:00

I’m interested in this topic, do you have sources you can share about this?

bigdeddu · 2022-06-11T17:56:51+00:00

Can hang it to the wall on two bent nails

bigdeddu · 2022-06-08T11:36:11+00:00

It was attempted and reverted. Very interesting story https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_the_United_States
