If it helps any I just had a 160mm, ATB48 tooth track saw blade sharpened and it was $17.83Cad plus tax. That would be £11.66 plus tax. A bigger blade would be about the same if the tooth count and shape is the same. Pete

I remember them but they were too small for my needs, still are, but they were well built and everything about them was expensive even when new. Pete

On my machine the blades work best when there is about 3mm of advance when the blades are hand rotated on a straight piece of wood when tightened. I apply the pressure to the in feed table and transfer to the out feed when most of the wood is through. You are only holding it down and not trying...

68 and generally I don't have too many problems other than a bad neck that makes it harder to look over my shoulders. Sometime in the last year I have messed up my right knee so every time I have to get on or up from the floor it hurts a lot. Right now we are finishing off the basement and when...

I peal them of and then wash of the glue with a rag and mineral spirits, then a final wipe with acetone. In the rare instances where scraping off the paper bits is needed I use a plastic scraper. I don't want to scratch the disc with metal. Pete

Difference might be due to wood coming from different regions/sources, some might be sapwood or even different species. Get some oil that is tinted darker or tint it yourself to brown it up. Play with some scrap offcuts from the different boards. Or embrace the differences. Pete

I’ve been on woodworking forums for a couple decades and evolved with them. Clicking on a picture is fine by me. My pet peeve is with people that don’t resize pictures to something that will load faster. I don’t have super fast internet so the big ones take forever to load. Too long on something...

It was likely glued with hide glue and will succumb to hot water and vinegar. Drilling a tiny hole where it doesn't show (inside) in the joint and squirting the hot mixture in with a syringe helps. You'll have to clean up the old glue when apart and let the wood dry before gluing back together...

I have a 3"/75mm and a 4"/100mm power planes. You just take multiple passes stepping over each time. I thought you would finish up with the router jig setup to get it flat and even, using the power plane to do the roughing, taking 1.5mm to 3 mm per pass. You won't find a 125mm power plane, most...

If you have an electric hand plane/power plane you could remove most of the wood quickly and finish off with your router set up. Pictures of the completed dormer? Pete

Any reason other than price you aren't looking at a Makita Vacuum? Pete

I don't have or have ever seen the machine but I am wondering why both sprockets have wear marks around where the shafts are? Is there supposed to be some nuts and or washers on them or is it just that you turned the sprockets around and what used to touch is now on the other side? Would turning...

I have never seen wood planed on one side at any of the sellers here. It is skip planed on both sides of the board. Often abrasive planed (sanded) presumably so there is no tear out. The stack will all be reduced to the same dimension, a 4 quarter board ends up somewhere near 7/8"/22mm or 23mm...

I'm sorry I missed that important distinction. Pete

In some cases when you remove wood unevenly (band sawing off one side) from a board it bows or cups again and now you have a board that will be undersized when you clean it up. Might work well with quarter sawn wood that has been air dried slowly from old straight trees, but newer trees that are...

You guys do things differently than on this side of the earth so lots of what is said flies right on by me. When I was making my shop I told the electrician what I would need running at any one time and he set it up accordingly. I told him maximum a 5hp air compressor (it is left on so never...

I know this is more than your budget but something like this might be safer for your wife to use. Even if she is well versed in axes it only takes one miss by the misses to end up missing a t'umb...

The SawStop senses the difference in conductivity of human flesh verses the wood. Very very wet wood can trigger the brake but all you have to do before cutting is touch the wood to the blade before turning on the saw to cut. The warning light by the switch will flash red if it will trigger...
