91 - Planer Stand, страница 51
Sources PLANER STAND You can get most of the materials needed to build the planer stand on page 18 at your local home center. But a few items may be a little harder for you to find. I ordered the '/4"-20 star knobs (23838) and threaded inserts (28803) from Rockier. These items are also available from McFeely's. The 3" locking swivel casters (31870) make it easy to move the stand around the shop. The casters I used came from Rockier. DRAWER SLIDES To make the drawers on your project open smoothly and quietly, you'll need to start with drawer slides like those in the article on page 10. The Blum epoxy-coated, low-profile (34843), Accuride 3/4-extension (39348), Accuride full-extension (32482), and Accuride over-travel (35627) slides, as well as the face frame brackets for each slide, all came from Rockier. These drawer slides are also available from the Woodsmith Store. ALUMINUM SQUARES The aluminum squares from page page 36 are easy to build and make a great addition to your shop. But you'll need a few items you may not have around the shop. You can find the bar stock, spring-loaded center punch, taps, drill bits, and files you'll need at your local hardware store or home improvement center. If you have difficulty finding the bar stock, it can be ordered from McMaster-Carr. You will need a couple of supplies when it comes time to drill and tap the aluminum. To help reduce heat during drilling, I used Tap-Ease (1009K22) lubricant. And to make it easier to tap the threads in the aluminum, I used cutting fluid (1413K42). Both of these can be ordered from McMaster-Carr. YANKEE-STYLE SCREWDRIVER A spiral ratcheting screwdriver, like those featured in the article on page 48, is a handy tool to have around the shop. If you want one of the original Yankee drivers, you'll need to order it from Garrett Wade. But you can order other Yankee-style drivers and accessories to go with them from Lee Valley, McFeely's, and Highland Woodworking. Contact information for these sources can be found in the right margin. PLANER TUNE-UP The article on page 40 shows you how to tune up your planer to make it run like new. And everything you need for the job is easy to find. Most woodworking stores will carry the bit and blade cleaners you'll need for removing pitch and resin. I was able to get a spray can of lithium grease, the synthetic abrasive pads, and the motor brushes I needed to complete my tune-up at a local hardware store. FEATHERBOARDS A featherboard can help you make safe, accurate cuts at the band saw, table saw, or router table. Some of the featherboards on page 14 can be found at your local home center or woodworking store. But a couple of them may be harder to find. The adjustable, wood feather-board with aluminum hold-down (03K0402) came from Lee Valley. I ordered the Grip-Tite magnetic featherboard (33072) from Rockier. You'll also find them at Highland Woodworking, Woodcraft, and the Woodsmith Store. SHOP NOISE REDUCTION Reducing the noise in your shop is often as simple as adding a few of the items featured on page 44. Rubber isolation mounts and anti-vibration pads are available from both Rcid Tool and McMaster-Carr. I was able to find the link belt, machined steel pulleys, and blade stabilizer at the Woodsmith Store. ShopNotes Binders Keep your issues organized!
