    @@roberthodges3522 Thanks Robert, tbh after a few years of living with this it’s not without it faults! If I was in the market for one I’d seriously look at the Laguna version. Main faults are, the conveyor belt just isn’t grippy enough (I replaced mine with an emery cloth (basically sand paper)version, the tracking is a pain and still have to readjust frequently, dust collection just about adequate should really have a 100mm port not the 63mm and finally the measurement scale is useless (I fit a electronic scale reader, which is ok). However it’s does the job when called into action. Cheers Steve Ps forgot changing the loading initially is a right pain, however after a while it’s manageable

    Great workshop. I’m looking to upgrade mine. I have a ryobi table saw and a cheap router table both of which I want to replace. The Incra fence systems have also caught my eye. What table saw are you using? What are your thoughts on incra for fences? Are there any cheaper alternatives that give precision that you are aware of? Thank you. Nick

    @@nickclarke2897 Thanks Nick, firstly I used a SiP table saw with a 10” blade (Thera a review somewhere on my channel) and it’s solid and does a good job. On the down side the saw blade arbour is 1” dia which means you have to use a reducer ring on most blades! The factory fence is just about adequate that’s why I got the incra 😉 the incra fence is spot on, super accurate once calibrated you never need to measure 👍 The down sides are that you really can’t use to the right of the fence (which due to the saw tilting to the right can be awkward) and it takes up quite a lot of space to the right due to the measurement mechanism. I would love to upgrade to a Laguna Fusion T saw, though quite pricey! Maybe one day Hope this helps any more q’s just ask Cheers Steve Ps the dust capture is pants, hence I got the overhead crown guard from Axminster

    Hey there Steve, glad to see you are back in the shop. The TukTuk build is terrific. I told Dutchy that I was torn between the Wasp scooter and the TukTuk since that took me back to time I spent in Bangkok and definitely took my life in my hands using TukTuk transportation. heh heh heh. I bought both plans and am now about 90% complete on the Wasp. The choice of woods for your build is terrific. And using the CNC definitely adds another perspective. Did you use Vectric Aspire for the 3D carves or another CAD/CAM program? I used the CNC on Jan'sPontiac Convertible to shape the side contours and on the 2CV to get the general side cutout and also to create the door profiles and window cutouts. Can't wait to see what you'll be up to next.

    Hi Dave, Never really been out of the workshop just been doing some quite uninteresting stuff, doors, gates, kitchen cabinets and the like🙄. Never been near a tuk tuk and definitely looks like you need your brave pants on to take a journey 😉 I’m also may have a go at the scooter as I do like the unconventional type of models. The CAD/CAM software I use is MasterCAM many moons ago I used to have a company that offered cad/cam turnkey solutions (ie we used to take blueprints and create the whole package in terms of layout sheets, nc programs, set up instructions, prove the component manufacture and train operatives to run the machines. So that’s what I use and yes it’s runs on a very old pc from the early 2000’s on windows xp but has full 3D capabilities tbh can post process to 4/5 axis. I may get vetric as and when I feel an upgrade is required as a mcam upgrade would cost many 000’s Got to admit the choice of timber was down to what I had in the offcuts bin 😂 Cheers Steve Ps I can see the benefits of using the cnc for those side panels, especially those where the doors are scribed in like the VW camper & 4x4

    Thanks Jan, Creating the 3D frames and the NC programmes really helped me get up to speed on the CAD/CAM, the manufacture part time was drastically reduced using the cnc machine, though not as satisfying as doing it by hand to be honest.I can some real advantages especially on those models that have profile lines of doors etc. like the VW bullie 4x4 and even the double decker bus ( I just might make the open top version 😉) Cheers Steve

    That’s a great question Billy, to be honest doing the cad and then the cam was more interesting rather than the making the vehicle. I used the tuk tuk to really hone my cad/cam skills as I’ve got a number of renovations coming up on kitchens and bedrooms which the customer has some particular design ideas that the cnc will aid the making of said cabinet doors etc. The tuk tuk itself is probably the nearest to blueprint vehicle I’ve made, just take the dumb arse bloke out of the equation 😂 Cheers Steve

    Hi Eliza, I use a bearing guided rebating / slot bit that’s got a bearing at the bottom that follows the frame , here’s a link www.tooled-up.com/trend-bearing-self-guided-rebate-router-cutter/prod/235752 Then it’s down to the depth of rebate for which size bit you need. I also have a number of bearing sizes which help managed the depth of cut width wise that I use (hope makes sense) as I recall the one I used was a 32mm (1.25”) dia bit and a final bearing size of 9.5mm (3/8”) that left a 11mm (7/16”) rebate. I use the different size bearing to help manage and splintering. Hope this helps Steve

Why Axminster don't either change the design for the right hand clip as their competitors have done, or put out a video similar to yours I have no idea, but again thanks for taking the trouble

  • @Phenrica
    @Phenrica5 ай бұрын

    Got to admit Geoff I am disappointed in the machine, I’ve struggled with the white feed belt continually just not gripping the timber whilst sanding (even after a new belt courtesy of Axminster) so I replaced it with an emery cloth variant which grips very well indeed only that there’s no way I’ve found to ensuring constant tracking! So after a number of uses I’ve got to release and reposition the belt. Fortunately it’s not a machine that is in daily use so I put up with it otherwise I’d replace it. With this and the pillar drill I got from Axminster I’m not sure I’d buy one of their branded large machines again. Cheers Steve

    I think these are a great idea as you can set a dimension without measuring and is very repeatable. I just wish they would make one that mounts on the front of the saw table. That way you would be able to still use a Bessimer style fence and be able to use jigs that straddle the fence. It would also keep from taking up so much room to the right side of the saw. Also, with this fence you can't run the fence on the other side of the blade. Not something I do very often but occasionally it's convenient.

  • @Phenrica
    @Phenrica6 ай бұрын

    Agree there’s definitely some drawback as you’ve mentioned, however the fence on the SIP saw was just a pain in terms of squareness and dimension that I got to a point that it’s was either change the saw or the fence and this turned out to be just what I was looking for and was prob a lot cheaper 😉
