Kerfmaker Ultimate for Table Saw (Tenonmaker)

Description

This Is A Kerf Maker. A Tool That Is Usually Used With A Table Saw To Simplify The Process Of Cutting Kerfs Into Wood. Especially Helpful, If You Want To Repeatedly Cut Kerfs Of The Same Size. There Are A Quit A Few Kerf-Makers Available Here On Thingiverse. Most Of Them Have A Similar Design And While One Maker Refers To "The Real Mccoy" As Being The Source Of Inspiration, I Found A Commercially Available One As Km-1 Or Km-2 From Bridge City. Though These Designs Are Sleek And Cleverly Constructed, I Saw - Admittedly A Pretty Tiny - Room For Improvement: After The First Cut You Have To Turn The Kerfmaker Bei 180°, Then Do The Second And Subsequent Cuts → I Chose A Design That Utilizes A Big/Long Handle Which Makes It Very Easy To Grab And Turn The Kerfmaker. __What You Need__ • All Five Parts Printed • 1 X M6 Threaded Bar, 57 Mm Length • 1 X M6 Threaded Bar, 33 Mm Length • 2 X M6 Nut • 1 X M6 Self-Locking Hex Nut If You Want To Make Bigger Kerfs Print The "Extra Wide" Base And Sliding Block. You'Ll Then Have A Maximum Kerf Width Of About 63Mm. __How To Assemble__ • Put A Hex Nut Into The Hole On The Flipside Of The Sliding Block. Glue It, If It'S To Loose. • Glue A Hex Nut Into One Hole Of The Small Knob And A Self-Locking Hex Nut Into The Other One. Nb1: The Holes Have Different Depths To Accommodate The Different Heights Of A Normal Nut And A Self-Locking Nut (Which Is, Usually, Higher). Nb2: The Self-Locking Nuts Have A Job, Namely To Lock On The Threaded Bar. While We Do Want Friction, It Might Be Necessary To Get The Threaded Bar More Free-Moving By Removing Some Plastic From The Inside Of The Self-Locking Nut. You Will Have To Experiment. • Glue The 57 Mm Threaded Bar Into The Blade Distance Piece. • Lay The Base On A Table And Put The Small Knob Into The Base. I Recommend To Let The Normal Nut Face The Blade Distance Piece. Less Of The Threaded Bar To Screw Thru The Self-Locking Nut. • Stick The Blade Distance Piece'S Threaded Bar Through The Hole And Start Screwing It Into The Small Knob. Go On Till You Come To The End. Then Stop. • Glue The 33 Mm Threaded Bar Into The Big Knob (Handle). Take Care That The Threaded Bar Is Sticking Out 19Mm. • Join The Sliding Block With The Base Using The Big Knob (Handle). Done!
