New Plinth For My TD124

A "new grass for a very old horse" :) since my TD124 MKI has a serial number in the low 1000 series.


Enter the Doc-kie!

Nice One :clap: :clap: :clap:

Is the plinth "solid" or a frame?
Are you using the iron platter?
I think i see a space indicating mushrooms are in use?

Thanks Paul!

It is a frame, made up of solid 3/4 inch thick wood planks and the top plate made up of MDF. Yes, I am using an iron platter. I never had a problem as far as the cart sticking to it. I am also using the mushrooms. I prefer having them in place as opposed to the frame lying directly on the base plinth.

Abe

VERY NICE AND NEAT!!! Congrats to the Owner and to the creator of the plinth.

I can't seem to make out what the wood is, Walnut or mahogany maybe?

Thank you very much! I recall my brother mentioning the type of wood as of "Walnut family" but cannot remember what he specifically calls it.

thanks again!

Thanks for sharing Abe

Sorry, another question ulit.

Are those wood inlays near the corners or are they dowel joints?

Welcome sir! Ohh, those are dowel joints. Actually, it's a joinery that is like a mortise and tenon type using a domino. The tool brand name is Festool.

None whatsoever sir! But I do believe that the TT is quieter on the new plinth because the clearance is higher compared to the old one.

Thanks much!
