Guido Henn building a Benchcrafted Roubo

Michael,

  Thank you for the link discussing the drill press. I live in the USA and I bet it would be expensive to ship over here. The best thing I like is the large throat dimension you can have!!

>>>Yes sleeping on the bench was a funny idea, but when I was young we have an older employee in the firm of my grandfather who sleeps on the bench after lunch for half an hour. In a german woodworking forum someone wonder where he can store the bedding and I told him that Festool has developed a special systainer for that and will show it exclusively on the next woodworking fair ;-)

MDA Precision in California is an authorized Wabeco dealer (I believe the only dealer in the US).  They can special order any Wabeco offerings.
 
Hi Guido,

On the average how long to build the workbench. I am trying to decide to build or buy either a Sjoberg or Lie-Nielsen.

Thanks,
Oscar
 
Whenever The Boss (Who is a fine German import) catches me watching one of Guido's videos, she tells me he is speaking German.  She starts to try to explain what he is saying.  No explanation is needed.  His demonstrations do not need words.

The Wood Whisperer has a series of videos on how to make this.  I think it took him a couple weeks.
 
  • Hello to all of you at FOG,

    I am so sorry not to be much more often online at FOG, but I have worked really hard on publishing an new book about the big machines in a woodworking shop. In this first book of two I will explain very detailed the jointer, planer/thicknesser and the shaper. It took me two years writing this 300 page book and it includes two DVDs with nearly 4 hours videos showing how to use these machines safely and secure. So I hope you can imagine that’s really a lot of work ;-)

    Here is a link to my new book available in early Dezember:https://www.holzwerken.net/shop/buecher/holzarbeiten_und_techniken/handbuch_stationaermaschinen

    Nevertheless I am really happy that some of you are still following my work and videos here in germany - that’s a great honour for me - thanks!

    Now I will try to answer some of your questions regarding the roubo workbench:
    [list type=decimal]
  • to Oscar: The drill stand is a WABECO (a german company) here is the link, where you can have a look on it:https://www.wabeco-remscheid.de/special-content-bohrstaender


    I use this Version:https://www.wabeco-remscheid.de/boh...350-mm/bohrstaender-fraesstaender-bf1240.html

  • to Oscar: The  forstner bit comes from FAMAG (also a german company) with a special bit extension (one of my favourite forstner bit systems!) All measurements you will find in these two links (in english):
    
— Here is the link for the forstner bit:https://www.fine-tools.com/bormax-hm.html

    — And here for the bit extensions: https://www.fine-tools.com/bohrer-verlaengerung.html

  • to luke duke: Yes you are right, page 37 was not translated, because the german text is included with the drawings and comes from my CAD-Program vectorworks. This text can only be edited in the CAD itself. I thougt it would be not so important for building the roubo changing the text into english, so I have spent no extra time on it ;-) .
  • to Oscar: It took me about 3 month building two!!! Roubos, making all the photos, drawings, text and videos. Building one Roubo following the plans would be about 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your skills and machinery in your shop.
Again thanks a lot for watching my videos and following my work!

Best Regards

Guido

PS: Here is a brand new video of my version of a router duplicator - nothing new and there are a lots of different versions on youtube, but I hope you like it  :-)
[/list]
 
We are thinking about publishing the book also in english, but first we have to find a partner publisher in the UK or US.

For the french speaking woodworkers: The book will definitely be published next year by our partner publisher "Martin Media" in France. They are just working on the translation and hope to finish in spring/summer next year.

Regards

Guido

 
[member=11481]Guido Henn[/member] This is a very old thread but I checked and you still log into the FOG according to your profile.

I came across your videos and am building a similar bench using a fair amount of similar tools. I see I can import that Wabeco BF1240 from sautershop. Do you still own it and recommend it? Can you share what drill you have mounted in it?

I don't really have the room for a dedicated drill press but that Wabeco unit seems like it would do what I need/want.

Thank you,
Matt

Take a look at Bosch pbd 40 drill press. It’s tiny and lite you can store it under your bench when not in use

I'm not answering for Guido, but I had the Wabeco B1230 as part of my mobile lock installation tool set.  Prior to the Wabeco, I lugged around a tabletop drill press that I partially disassembled and stuffed into a too large container.  I always needed a drill press for the lock installations, and always had a corded variable speed DeWalt drill with the 43mm European ring collar (for attaching the side handle).  Replacing the bulky and heavy drill press with the Wabeco was a good decision for me. 

After buying, testing, and discarding five or six similar drill stands, I chose the B1230.  It is sturdy and has very little play while in use.  My drill motor didn't have a locking trigger, so i used a Bessey clamp on the trigger to adjust the speed.  I plugged the drill into a switched extension cord to control the drill.

In order to make the kit fit into a Bosch (Sortimo) L-Boxx, I cut about 25mm off one end of the vertical bar.  This allowed it to fit diagonally with a little bit of padding on the ends so it didn't bang into the box.

I don't have a photo of the drill motor in the B1230, but this is the assembled stand.  I used a pair of F-clamps to secure the stand to the table top.

I also bought the optional tap kit because I had to tap over a dozen holes in 5mm thick aluminum plates for each lock installation.

If I didn't have a good tabletop drill press now, I would not hesitate to buy another Wabeco drill stand.

Yep.  Got it fromhttps://www.grooves-inc.com/bosch-tischbohrmaschine-pbd-bosch-pZZa1-2097583520.html
Free shipping, no import duty and arrived fast.  Its actually cheaper now then i paid for it.  Just need to change the plug to match your outlet and its 220v only.  Worked great but I got viking.  So that one had to go :)
