Fenland Black Oak Project continues...


The Fenland Black Oak Project is in the process of creating an iconic table from an absolutely gigantic black oak tree, which had been buried deep beneath the peat of the Fens for 5,000 years.

The drop leaf sides were originally designed with a conventional tongue and groove joint, as shown in the photo below but, due to the extreme length and therefore weight of each side, a re-think was required and in conjunction with Wealden Tools a special joint was designed. 

 


Wealden have just delivered the special cutters to Hamish Low of the Fenland Black Oak Project and a short video of Hamish illustrating the new joint can be viewed here:




Wealden are delighted to share the vision to preserve this ancient tree for the nation by donating all the cutters used in the machining and working of this vast table.

Wealden design new Arris Round Miniature Bearing cutters

We've just designed some new two flute TC tipped cutters for arrising in confined grooves. The top edge of the cutter has a taper after the radius to produce a soft edge to the cut without the need for any additional finishing. The 6mm bearing allows radiusing on tight corners or in narrow grooves.

The new cutters are available online now in 8mm shank size.

New - heavy duty 50mm chamfering blocks added to spindle range

The latest addition to Wealden's spinde tooling range are these heavy duty steel swop-tip© chamfering heads, featuring 50mm replaceable TC knives with scoring spurs at both ends of the knife.

The chamfer blade holders are adjusted by means of a knurled ring which simultaneously rotates both sides, keeping them synchronised by means of a geared mechanism. The cutting blades can be adjusted from the vertical downwards for 84 degrees or upwards for 48 degrees and are infinitely adjustable within this range. The arrangement of the cutter with spurs also allows the block to cut rebates either square or at an angle.  One rotation of the ring changes the angle by 10 degrees and the ring is marked in 10 graduations of 1 degree.

Available to buy online at the website.
