Hi Milt Over the years I sold well past a thousand of the Router Technologies Xtreme Xtensions; they work without any problems if you follow Bob McFarlin’s clear instructions that are on the packaging BUT IT WILL GIVE YOU ONLY ABOUT 1¼” of extension and not the 1½” plus you want. Some of the cheap extensions work, but I question their dynamic balance plus I believe in quality and safety.

Using LOM for large diameter tables-platters Does any one have experience or recommendations on using collet extender on LOM. I'm using a Porter Cable 7518 body with a quick attach collet. I am using a large DIA (2 & 3") planer bits - bottom and side cutting and have concern for rotational stability. I'm setting rotational speed at 10,000 rpm but when unit is first turned on it starts at 16000 or higher and settles to 10k. I'm trying to extend 1 1/2 - 2" lower than I can achieve with the conventional bit. In put would be appreciated. Milt M. C. (Milt) Engelke Professor Emeritus Texas A&M University P.o.

Using LOM for large diameter tables-platters Hello Milt, I have a portable band saw mill that I use for such purposes, it will get the slab(s) perfectly parallel and leave a finish that can be smoothed out with a random orbital or belt sander, but my mill only has a 36” width capacity so you may have to ask around.

Using LOM for large diameter tables-platters I have several large English and Black Walnut slabs that I would like to reduce to tables and large format furniture items and I would like to poll the group on a project that I am working on to flatten these slabs (photo attached). As an example this slab is a full three inches thick and measures at the max 72” for corner to corner and 40 “ wide. Due to its size, I do not want to use a hand plane to surface the slab and, therefore was thinking of using LOM to do the job. Anyone have suggestions. I am presently using an 1800 with Z axis, and with motor drive on X axis. I have the circular table accessory however it is a bit out small for this project. Your input and experience would desire.
