About Robolab…it’s still going pretty slow. I ordered some stuff, and I have to wait on it for a while.

In the meanwhile the cupboards and drawers are filled with my materials. I also spended a lot of time chosing the best place for each material.

I switched positions many times, but now, I’m starting to know where everything is.

Also, I bought new toy!

The Makita mlt100

I snapped a picture how that thing came out of the box.

After looking and measuring, I turned this off.

Like I said, this is a quite a toy. When you wand to saw something 100% perfect, you don’t need to do it with a table-saw of 475€, unless a mm doesn’t matter.

The intention is that the saws 100% where I wanted it saw.

If it’ll work, I don’t know. It’s also the first time I do this, but I’m looking forward to it.

Now that I have this table-saw, I can also think more how I’m planning to make my worktable, and how big it should be.

Everything needs to be compact, and be at the exact right spot in my garage.

I’m going to blend the sa wand mill into my working table, and when I need them, I just have to remove a rubber math to use it.

In other words, I’m going to make a multifunctional table, which I’ve put a lot of thinking work in…

To have better view on what I’m making, I mounted some pieces of wood to see if the dimensions are correct.

At the bottom of the picture you can see the mill, a bit high the saw.

You can see that the new glider of INCAR which IS properly adjusted

This is only the beginning of the table. I’m going to think good now, before I’m ordering the rest of the wood and steel.

In the end, it’s the last working table I’ll ever make, so it has to be on point!

About the working table, every day is a day full of progress in terms of the drafting of the mill and saw. Every day I’m working on that for a couple of hours. Once I’ve changed something, I call it a day, and work on it the next.

In the time in between, I’m trying to make some other things.

Here I made some iron little shackles which fit in the aluminium U.

Some pieces of iron, sawed at length.

After that I disced it at the right size, and abraded it nicely straight on the sanding belt till it all fitted nicely in the little sloth.

Drilled the holes, and turned in the new M5 thread, and gave it a little paintjob.

This was the result after 6 hours. These things just eat time!

The meaning of these bars, is that you can clamp something with it.

Here an example.

I still need to buy or make the clamps…

In the meantime , this aluminium plate has been delivered …. This will be placed on my pillar drill. I had planned to make this myself with my uppermill, but for the price I bought it, I couldn’t make it myself.

This was in the mail today

I must say that the Incra stuff isn’t that cheap, but the quality (for me) is on of the best!

These metal rings stay in place with little magnets.

I also bought every size available. Safety is priority here!

I searched for a good T-square for a while now, but I didn’t find what I was looking for.

So I made it myself.

Here’s the aluminium I bought.

I tensed a pieces, and mille a sloth into it.

This is the result I was looking for.

can you come over to Roermond sometime and build me a cool workplace like this DAMMMNNN!!!

[Tecomah]

Dude your work ethic is amazing. You have a crazy amount of skills

Tuesday I went in Roermond when I came from Essen

The “longslider” is ready.

Here some pictures of the big picture.

Final picture of the T-square. It looks heavy, but it’s not so bad.

I didn’t want to make it too light as well, it needed to be accurate and strong.

The black hinge is to tighten it.

How it’s adjusted now, it should be exactly 90 degrees. I measured this with a big aluminium snag.

I a store nearby, they have special equipment, and soon, I’ll go there to let it measured with a digital meter.

I can also do minor corrections.

On the bottom left you can see one inbus-screw, with 4 little holes around it.

With this screw I can do minor corrections. Once it’s all 100% in every angle, I drill the holes a bit bigger and put 4 screw in it.

I also drilled 2 holes where I can insert a inbus-key.

By turning there, I can determine i fit all shifts nicely like I want it.

Do I tighten it more, I’ll have more friction of the Teflon on the aluminium slot.

Here it’s all mounted on the table.

Of course, I have to see now if I can get this thing 100% tuned. But I already know it’s going to be 10 times better than the trash which was originally delivered.

What the table itself is concerned, I’m going to makes these out of aluminium as well.

I’m measuring everything accurately to set an order.

I’m going to make the frame with the profile.

This profile is available in many sizes and is very strong.

I let everything being cut to get it as precise as possible. Cost factor is going up, but as I said earlier, it’s the last time I make something like this.
