I just have to keep reminding myself that envy is a terrible thing.
Very cool.

Here is a video of an automated kerfed lining fixture I just batched up. It work for both regular and reverse linings. https://youtu.be/6zXhLX6M9FI Sorry about the noisy bearing... I've since put some oil on that thing. Michael |

Nicely Done! Can you vary the spacing of the cuts? |

That's pretty cool. You seen Keith Mackensie's version? Chris Paulick posted this a while back. Very similar designs. http://youtu.be/h-pdUWoNjPo Mike |

Very similar designs. http://youtu.be/h-pdUWoNjPo Mike Mike, My inspiration is based on Keith's design. I probably watched the YouTube video 30 times, studying the motion of the fixture. I probably thought about it another 3-4 days before drawing it so I could so I could cut the parts on my cnc machine. It was a very fun problem! Chris, the presenter of Keith's design it pretty toasted, if you hadn't noticed..... |

Chris always looks that way. You probably wouldn't want to see me in a video.  Thank you for attributing design to Keith. I'm sure he'd be flattered to see your interpretation. It's good work. Mike |

I could never get Keith to provide the design. But, I'm sure you could sell the cut parts if reasonable. I'd entertain your quote. |

Our machine is a stand alone tool -- an inexpensive Delta 10" was converted. The basic plan for this device has been around for a long time and can be found at frets.com |

That's fantastic! I use kerfed linings sometimes and it's one of the only things I outsource because the time and frustration involved in doing it is simply not economically worth it. In fact I mostly do solid linings because it's a lot easier. So if you produce any for sale let me know and I can at least help you pay off that cool jig! |

Nice! It's sort of steampunk. You could somehow have the finished one trigger the next one in the chute and let'r run! How thick is the web? is it flat or w shaped? |

The web is about .020" thick though it's fully adjustable. The first batch I made (50 pieces) has got a round-over just like reverse kerfed linings only they are cut like standard linings. You can make reversed or regular simply by flipping the piece. |

I set up the stroke mechanism on ours using a cam action. There's a spring loaded buffer bar to compensate for wear and also allow fine adjust using shims --- you can see my very high tech card stock and masking tape shim on the slide stop. I should really confess that this device was built several years ago as a concept model -- the principles involved and the design road map put forth by Frank Ford where so good that we just continue to use this in production.
