La Belle 1/36 - Plan by Jean Boudriot / myself

Hey guys, do any of you have experience with this product?
P.S. Good luck in the new year 2024?

 
Hello everyone! I have one serious problem with a draft plate from China. It doesn't cut wood that splits afterwards. Don't you have any type available to get a quality Plate?
Thanks for the advice or per type.
Have a nice day.

The only one that works.

Byrnes Model Machines - Drawplate

Byrnes Model Machines produces precision-engineered miniature Table Saws and Thickness Sanders for Ship Modelers, Dollhouse Makers and Model Railroad Builders; every machine has an accuracy measured in thousandths of an inch.

maybe you can combine the sending with some fellow model builders in your country, because the sending is expensive

Did you mean a drawplate? - than the recomendation by @Steef66 is very good
Or did you mean something else? Maybe you show us your tool via a photo - often the tool is not responsible, it depends also on the wood quality , size of grain etc. (refering the drawplate)

I know Byrnes but they didn't engage with me at all, they ignored my interest in their circular saw.

Jim Byrnes past away not so long ago, that could be a reason. It's a family business. Just try it again.

I just ordered an additional drawplate from them. Jim's wife Donna sent it out within a few days. Not sure about shipping internationally. A jeweler's drawplate doesn't work on wood (as you have discovered). It is designed to compress/stretch metal - a woodworkers drawplate actually shaves off wood.
