Are they fiddly to use McCreed?
No, no spares. And honestly I haven't run it enough to the point where the cutters need sharpening or replacing.Quote:
Does the one you got come with spare blades?
Also, each cutter has two cutting edges, so it can be rotated when one side goes dull.
Now... I vaguely recall contacting McJing Tools about replacement cutters (which they don't stock). However, if memory serves me right (could be a big if) they said the Stew-Mac cutters will fit their model. I also think I got some info about this on the ANZ Luthiers Forum (ANZLF).
I'll have to re-research that to be safe...
Possibly, but I never thought about it or how it would need to be set up. I reckon a jig can be made for dang near anything if one is so inclined.Quote:
Would it be appropriate as a jointing tool as well, if you had a dead square drill press platform?
My plan is to make a joiner by inverting my router and making a jig for that.
Lastly...
Yeah, sorry Robin.Quote:
Sorry for highjacking your thread Robin.
I feel extra bad because we're discussing power tools in a thread that's all about a guitar being built using all hand tools! D'oh!!!
Maybe @McCreed you could start a Safe-T planer thread and we could babble and drool over there [emoji16]
Hah! I'm not sure I have any expertise on the topic, and AFAIK, I'm the only member that has one so far! :oQuote:

So far..you have piqued interest from myself and @FrankenWashie ..Quote:

The rotary disc thingy with the three cutters that you buy from StewMac yeah?Quote:
