Based on my experience, you will find people having all sorts of curious reactions to hearing 'tickety-boo'. Not sure why that is, but have fun with it!<br /><br />Dennis,<br /><br />you know, funny you mention that. I was thinking of getting the table lips slotted several months back, and mentioned that idea to Rich Fink, the Oliver specialist. He said they'd tried that in the past and he didn't feel it made much difference. However, I have still been entertaining the idea, for the sound-reducing benefit you mentioned. Most of the higher end European machines have the lips perforated or slotted, so it must be of some benefit.<br /><br />However, given that this machine is not likely the end of the path for me in terms of jointers, I think I will hold off on plans to make any significant modifications to the machine, like table lip slots or holes, or swapping out the cutterhead for a Tersa or Terminus, etc., as I think that most buyers of an old machine would tend to prefer it be completely stock.<br /><br />~ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-44121743160831594332011-04-16T22:05:58.932-04:002011-04-16T22:05:58.932-04:00Unless you don't care to mess with the origina...Unless you don't care to mess with the originality, you might consider drilling a line of holes across the infeed table throat plate, if there is one and it allows. Makes for a quieter operating machine, and a little breeze feels nice in the summer.djyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08985330530360767281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-75345232206168288082011-04-16T17:34:16.359-04:002011-04-16T17:34:16.359-04:00Chris

I plan to drive friends and acquaintances crazy in the next weeks with 'tickety-boo'. Thanks.<br /><br />Tomtomausmichigannoreply@blogger.com
