Took some extra (and much needed) time off this weekend to begin a planer stand based on plans from Shopnotes vol 16 issue 91.
The case is made from some birch ply from the BORG that I had, but after looking over some of the better quality ply at The Hardwood Store no more Borg ply for me! I will be trimming the face with maple and a back that is recessed flush covering the lower shelves for stability to prevent racking. I also will be installing 2 flip up sides for infeed and outfeed support. Will most likely finish with an oil. Dry fit for the most part is good with one problem area.
Now for some of the issues.
Is ther any reason I cant start and do the glue up in sections? Starting with the 2 middle shelves then glueing in the back and lower shelf/support and last glueing the top in. I am not very profecient at glueups yet. I am still limited on my clamp supply and have pretty much blown my tool budget out of the water over the last few weeks.
You can see a fair amount of tear out when the grooves were cut (left pic). I used a set of 6" Oldam high high speed steel stacked dado blades I purchased several years ago and have never used before.
Will a quality set of carbide dado blades help this tearout?
I also used the dados to rabbit the shelves. Would I have gotten a better cut with a rabiting router bit set?
The dado setup for this step was very time consuming being my tablesaw and fence are not of the best quality.
The last pic on the right shows one groove that is not a great fit. That shelf was rabbited the same as the top shelf. I got a little ahead of myself and made that cut before I set up for the lower 3 shelf grooves
Any sugestions will be welcome.
