swt61 Posted November 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) After I redesigned the boards, one of my Winter Texan buddies had a nice template set made for me from 3/8" aluminum. So I now can cut my boards close to size, then use the router template to finish them up, so they're all exactly the same. Then the template for drilling the holes the same. The set in the pic is White Oak with a Purple Heart inlay. I just buy cribbage pegs online, in different colors.

The individual boards make more sense to me, as you can adjust for the number of players. And it's easier to store. I had a custom leather bag made to hold my set. And my Mom's old set fits in there perfect, as all my boards are the exact same size. Al's Sister wants my own previous set. She probably wants to practice to be able to beat me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 So I am trying to figure out if this wheel: will fit on this angle grinder: https://www.metabo-hpt.com/us/main-navigation/item/g12sr4-6-2-amp-4-1-2-angle-grinder-w-5-abrasive-wheels-Metabo-HPT But I donāt have the angle grinder with me, itās 4.5ā vs the 4ā diamond blade and I am not sure if the removable arbors can be put back on.. most 4-1/2ā seem to be 7/8ā anyways so I am probably fine..Ā any ideas? I have about a foot of 1-2ā thick Texas limestone (Lauder) need to trim off on my footpath and donāt want to buy another blade Ā this one might be too small but I am going to give it a shot and see if I can just chisel the rest off..

swt61 Posted December 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) It should fit fine. The Metabo is the new name for Hitachi, and I know that the older Hitachi grinders used the standard wheels. Ā Ā I believe that you can even use the newer Xlock wheels, but can't use regular wheels on a Xlock grinder. I have both kinds, and love the quick change of the Xlock system.Ā Edited December 12, 2023 by swt61 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 I recently had an occasion to use my clamp as a spreader. Worked great but I am now not able to get the bar back in the head. I have tried moving around these oblong disks inside with a knife but they wonāt budge. Has anyone fixed their clamp or should I just see how the Bessey warrantee works..

I suppose I can buy a smaller clamp and just pull the mechanism off of it. I need something that be both a spreader and a clamper. These are quite old - we used them on the corner horns. I filled the warrantee with Bessey just now, we will see what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 Bessey makes clamps that do both and I have one or two of theseĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I submitted the warrantee form as well. I am not in a huge hurry but come Jan if I havenāt heard back, I think I will just order the EZS in a smaller capacity and move it into the larger bar.. that seems easy enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naamanf Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 Those with the Hammer A3, did you get the jointer in feed table, and if so, do you like it? Local guy thinking of getting one and was curious.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavitsk Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 I didn't. I thought it would be necessary, but so far I have not needed it. I've been comfortable without it working on lengths up to around 60" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 I think there is plenty of room on the jointer without any extension. It would be pretty darn long too. I do have an extension table for the planer outfeed and I believe it is a good idea. More stable and I really never get any snipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 A mind is a terrible thing to waste. š¤¦š»āāļø I had the planer outfeed only at first buy did add the jointer infeed extension later.
