Update on my workshop equipment

Update on my workshop equipment

3 novembre 2008

I finally bought a table saw. I got the Mafell Erika 85, a very sturdy contractor’s saw. I like it because it is very light, and can be moved around my small workshop as needed. I built a sled copied from Yeung Chan’s fine book, since the Mafell sliding table is very expensive, and too bulky for my personal use.

All my machines. Clockwise from bottom: Mafell table saw, home-built router table, DeWalt planer / thicknesser, Scheppach bandsaw.

I have everything I need, except the vacuum system, but that is due very soon. In my next update I will describe my shoe cabinet, which is now close to completion.
