Any woodworkers?

Just found this area of the forums! I am trying to get into this as well.
Anyone had any tenon cutters for sale?

 

nope but like any other type of bits, buy the expensive ones...as the cheap ones wont last. just like router bits.

 

I'm open to suggestions!

 

Just wanted to say that I would avoid the epoxy. The tung oil needs to breathe and cure. You need to wait about a month to apply a dewaxed shellac sealer before trying a urethane varnish.

 

Mine aren't for sale, but I would highly recommend Veritas power tenon cutters from Lee valley tools.
That's what I have and they work great, have replaceable blades and very high quality construction.

One could get carried away with "buy expensive".

Four On$rud solid carbide router bits, tad over $400.

 

Are those metal router bits, AKA CnC machining tools? If they are for wood...

They are indeed wood/wood composite bits, not very good for metal. Mostly used in CNC operations and not paid for by me.

 

Thanks! these are priced well compared to what I have been eye'ing

 

Machines like this guy, pretty much an antique today.

4 axis machining spindle
7 tool auto change magazine including aggregate heads
28 independent vertical/horizontal drilling spindles
4.5'x11' table
40 hp work hold down vacuum pump, 15 hp air flotation pump
over head 3D laser full program projector
photos of Canyonlands on the console
Pistachios, internet service and basic stool

 

You won't have buyers remorse if you get these. I got the set of six, let's me do anything from rustic chair spindles to bed posts.
Be sure to get good forstner bits to drill the mortises. Paddle bits or regular drill bits aren't what you need for that. A forstner bit gives you a nice flat bottom on your mortise so the tenon seats flush, gives the glue a good bond.

 

The links I posted have a lot of bits...

 

Yep, not really woodworking. I was only in it to play with/service the machinery.

But then it's the only way to do a job like this and make money.

The humidity just increased significantly in my woodshop, so to speak.

 

What are the power requirements of that beast? Any other infrastructure requirements? Who is the manufacturer? I recognize that shade of green.

 

That's Biesse green, Italy.
The total electrical load including the vacuum and flotation motors (in a separate room) was around 90A, 3P 480v. The main machine had several integral transformers to generate lower AC/DC voltages for the various sub systems.

5" (I think) concrete floor was recommended to carry both the weight and inertia, a surprisingly small volume of compressed air mostly for rams, 12" dust collection, phone/network connection and an ungodly amount of patience along with space to store about two and a half feet of service/technical/tooling manuals.
We got it just before they started coming with OSHA "total enclosure" barriers/fencing.
Then there was all kinds of 3rd party design software.
