Reply To: spindle moulder

[Sam Longley 1Participant @samlongley1]

I had a couple of spindle moulders a dankert which we had for many years & an SCM from new with a long bed.

I decided against tilting head as it introduced an element of vibration into the mechanism due to lack of ridgidity.

However, for a small machine doing wide splay cuts on cills it may help although it may be better to do the job in several passes

May i suggest that when buying- if you buy new- order a 30mm spindle & a 32mm one. This is because modern cutter blocks are generally 30mm but there are loads of old 1 1/4 inch cutters for sale at auctions fairly cheap & if you have the spindle you can buy them whereas others ignore them

I still have some parts in my shed if you are interested–

A ring fence, An EJMA block complete with weatherstrip grouve, Some straight tipped cutters,50mm wide that can be stacked & some tipped adjustable groovers , wobble saw & some saw blades I used for comb joints on lambs tounge sashes & some serrated cutter blocks 100mm diam. Might have some whitehill blocks if i can find them & a 7 degree cill block ( tipped cutter) Most of the tipped gear is Leitz

 

Sorry to the mods if that is miss selling – delete it if it breaks the rules
