They just don't sit in the recess very nicely. Its just annoying rather than anything.

Hi all. Seeking advice on brass but hinges 64mm x 35mm. Ive been using Carlisle brass lately but have found that some of them are a bit out of square. Any one tried the Alexander & Wilkes? Thanks

There is power to the switch and power to the connector. If I move the switch on the connector it powers the motor but I only tested that for a second. So either the connector is faulty or it is not opening the circuit due to a problem with the input. Could the connector have developed a fault...

Hi. Yes the original was plugged into normal 3 phase

Power is by national grid directly. 16amp supply that usually powers my planer. 16 amp red plug that plugs directly into socket of machine. Power is there at the switch on the machine- didn’t test further yet. The machine is similar to picture below. Haven’t looked for a manual yet but will...

Acquired a horizontal belt sanding machine recently. I went to collect it myself and was shown it working by the seller. It was demonstrated working but with the belt running in reverse and the seller suggested swapping the 2nd & 3rd phases to correct this as he had just done with a new machine...

Just planed up some Oak. All bought in the same place at the same time and have noticed marks. They almost look like liquid was spilled on them - it wasn’t. Even though the boards are different they all seem to have the marking. It’s not uniform enough to be from sticking. I’m pretty sure I’ve...

I bought one just after Christmas. I used it on a couple of projects. One of them being planting a radiused solid moulding to the edge of 30mm MDF on a bookcase. The outer radius of the MDF had to meet perfectly with the inside radius of the solid edging. Once you figure out the best way to hold...

I'm starting to draw up an in frame kitchen. There will be a full height fridge and full height freezer. Both will be of the door attached to the appliance door type. Not concealed hinges on sliders. My question is about the carcass size. Installation literature shows a lay on door with an...

Currently acquainting myself with the Shaper Origin. Bit of a learning curve but so far pleased. Prepare yourself for the £600 or so import duties which will come seperately from the shippers.

Please read my original post with regard to the efficacy. But thanks.

Not sure I get you.

I just couldn’t in all conscience tell them it was going to do anything for moth repelling. 0.7mm of veneer. I would think the 18mm of MDF would probably repel the moths more. 😉
