If you make the rails on the table/bed part a bit more recessed, you could have removable covers to 'hide' the rail when not using this as a flattening rig. This could be the main 'workbench'' most of the time, with only the rolling sled part needing storage

I think it's because Izzy no longer is a maker as such but an advertiser and production designer. He is a brilliant maker and his skills are top end but his choice of direction (imo) is favouring a niche audience. This is just my opinion however it does not change that I think Izzy is brilliant at what he does, he is top level at what he does. His jig making and innovation skills are amazing.

Izzy, not only is it a slab flattener, planer sub, jointer sub, but you utilized CNC properties by having the gantry being the reference edge for all of the machining. I imagine that something like this led to the modern-day CNC machine. 🤔 Adding to @myGrowthrings mount 1 edge to a wall and make it fold down to keep a slim profile when not in use, or possibly even use it in a vertical orientation. The gantry will always be the referenced machine edge and I have seen CNCs work folded up against the wall...
@TheMadManPlace
@TheMadManPlace 4 ай бұрын
Using it in a vertical or near vertical orientation has the added advantage that the chips, dust and swarf immediately fall away from the cutting bit so that the life of the bit is helped.
@JohnMadeit
@JohnMadeit 10 ай бұрын
With the gantry removed it would also make a good work bench. So I think it's a viable solution for a lot of people. Maybe a circular saw attachment. Probably need to add some locks to hold one set of the rails in position. Rail stop blocks would be a nice feature so you can route out just a small section of your work piece. Interested to see what other ideas you come up with for it.

For this to be useful for me, i would piggyback what some of the others have suggested. Make this a multiuse table that can double as a set up table, flattening table, etc. I love the way it keeps a round log tighly mounted so you can concentrate on flattening it rather than worrying it will get loose and create a problem. Look forward to seeing how and what you add to this.

It's similar to an idea I had for a flattener/slabber. My idea was to have the tool be modular so you could put a small bad saw on the sliding section to slab small logs with it as well. I love the idea of the cantilevered section on the cross slide with angle table to the side. That makes it way more useful. Nicely done.

Izzy, brother that sled is pure genius!! Not only can you flatten a slab but you have the ability to work the edges?! I’ve seen no other like it before. I use a Bosch 1617 for my router and I’ve used a 2” flattening bit. Just take small bites. I flattened my bar top (2 1/2’ x 12’) and with the epoxy, it snowed in my shop! I don’t see why you can’t use this system to replace a jointer and planner. To machine your new capacity you would need very expensive machines. This is why wood working is so great bc there’s always more ways than 1 to accomplish a task.

I really like this and the possibilities.

Makes other issues like head changes and blade sharpening easier.

This is quite spectacular, really cool. @Izzy, I am sure you quite know what you are doing. But for everyone that considers building this: note that dust extraction is difficult with this open gantry setup. Please, please use PPE to protect your lungs. Open milling creates fine particulates, and they will ruin your breathing if you do not protect yourself every time you do this kind of work, including quite a bit of time afterwards. The fine particles will stay suspended in the air for a long time.

I really like the way the Tally Ho boys did their jig (episode 40) with a 6in electric planer. Router is certainly more accessible but the planer offers some benefits. You can ease down and if you need to adjust you aren’t left with a big step to plane out. Also I think it lets you move more wood and collect chips easier than a router. Personally I have an mdf table that I dump a little chalk on and rub slabs on. (Sort of like a big machinist surface plate and Prussian blue) and then hit the high marked spots with an electric planer.

Damn! As usual Izzy your ingenuity leaves me speechless. There are inside the box thinkers, outside the box thinkers.......and then there's the "outside the warehouse that the box is in" thinkers. And that is Izzy. I can imagine there are lots of ways to make this double-duty, triple duty, etc with some clever additions that would more than make up for the floor space. Looking forward to your tweaks on this.

I've been designing something like this for a while I have the same rails but just haven't got all the ideas i want in the table and now you come along and give me even more features I have to cram in thanks :). Make a locking sled for a plunge saw for quick rip cuts

Well I have this same setup for flattening, I agree a 3hp or bigger is the way to go. Your idea on that front leaf is fascinating. I’m thinking it could be used for mortise and tenons and like someone said used like a domino tool. Panto router possibly? Thinking outside the box here. Nice job!

@branchandfoundry560 out of curiosity, have you finished the cabinet under your tablesaw yet? 🙂 I'm in the process of turning my exposed dust collection into a super mario diorama 🤣 it's a mess but it usually is until the ol brain doodle takes shape 😅😀

Love the design. It's giving me some great ideas for when I get round to building a bench next summer. I was just thinking, maybe including Dog Holes so you've got some options for clamping, and maybe the bench can become an assembly table as well.

I’ve been considering a very similar idea for a bit now after seeing how affordable those linear rails are getting. One thing you could maybe add is a one to one copy fixture by adding a template and a pointer to trace your template that is attached to the router base. I’ve been thinking of also adding stops to the rails to basically turn the flattening jig milling machine for wood. Maybe even aluminum in a pinch.

Thanks a lot! Now after watching this video, I’m left with the desire to of course BUILD my own version but I don’t have anywhere to put it and I can’t just build a bigger shop because I’m on a fixed income. Damn you Izzy Sawn for being so ingenious. 😂

I always put friends to work, or they, me. In school or college, we got so much done, and made time for friendships we would never have. Did this till about 45. The moved. I no longer have friends like that besides my out of town sons. I don't envy you your wheelchair, but love what you share with your friends. Never give up on healing. God bless you.

That is an absolute monster of a system! I’m in the early stages of getting my shop set up, just acquired my table saw, have most other tools needed outside of the jointer/planer, seriously considering just upgrading my router and going this route! Thanks!
