The main options are: - House clearance firm : quick and low hassle but you'll get terrible value for the items, and no idea where many of the smaller items will end up, landfill? - Donate them to a charity / mens shed : likely lowish hassle and fairly quick, you'll know they are being used...

Nice to have you, we all start somewhere.

Was there a screw holding the pulley on or just a friction fit?

Just looked up your bandsaw and its a complete beast! In my opinion is should be running butter smooth! There is a great video from mtmwood where he has received the same bandsaw and is putting it through it's paces. At the 14min mark there are some deep rip cuts and there is no noticeable blade...

This is my Axminster sbw4300 running. It’s quite noisy but no flapping and minimal vibration. It’s running a 13mm 6tpi m42 tuffsaw blade tensioned to 7 on the 0-10 tension scale, running with the middle of the blade on the middle of the wheel crown.

@SteL did you go down the import route from 'dictum'? Or did you find another supplier. Currently in the same boat that I want a wood vice screw for my workbench and struggling to find one.

It’s to cover the cutter block when the fence is in the forward position.

When I took mine out the system I could only force air into the vessel with a small bike suspension pump at 100psi+ the diaphragm was firmly adhered to the vessel wall in all locations. It was the adhesion causing the issue not the pressure in the system.

That’s a huge weight, I think you’ll need something like a set of machinery skates. They are not normally a permanent fixture and would raise the machine considerably. Also would be worried about any solid wheel deforming with that load in a static position for any period of time.

An undersized expansion vessel for your system volume will put more stress on the diaphragm, could be part of your issue. We installed a number of old school radiators and had to install secondary expansion vessel due to the extra volume.

Sounds same as when my expansion vessel failed. The diaphragm in the vessel ends up forced against the vessel walls. My theory is once the diaphragm fails the air in the vessel leaks onto the water side, most boilers have a auto air release, or you bleed the air out of on of the radiators which...

I was trying to find an image but failed, so a poor quality drawing instead. The thicknessed board has a baton/retaining timber added to the front and back edge so that it hooks over the bed.

If you put a board through the thicknesser and then attach this to the thicknesser bed you’ll have a surface aligned with the knives. A bit of a hack but it’ll work.

Suggests to me that the vessel has failed. I removed a vessel earlier this year with the same behavior. I used a high pressure mountain bike suspension pump to force the valve open after that any air put in leaked past the diaphragm.

Secondary glazing on the inside has in my experience resulted in significant condensation on the original single glazing. The secondary glazing is good at preventing the heat from escaping but not the moist air, so the original glazing behind it is colder and suffers worse condensation.

Welcome to UKW. The router table is an an excellent tool, and one of my upgrade/build list items as my current one is not flat enough. I also got a cordless palm router last Xmas, which has become one of my favorite tools. And obviously a stoopid caravan question as they are all petrol driven, doh!

I could be preaching to the choir but 15mm thick boards will bend, cup, bow, twist and move an incredible amount whilst drying. I cut up a similar sized cherry tree with 25mm boards and once dry the largest flat and square piece I could get was about 40cm long, 10cm wide, and 15mm thick. I cut...

It looks like a great build kit, the vice hardware looks super quality, just trying to decide how to do the leg vice on my build.

It’s a bit of an apple to oranges comparison. One is selling machined wood, so should have little wastage, the other you will have to plane to size. Selling wood by weight is odd for me, and I’d only buy by weight if the were no defects in the wood. When buying by volume I’d expect most good...

On my Sedgwick morticer there is a grub screw on the collar, it’s very obvious so I doubt yours is hiding. My only thought is that the head pivots off the screw, the solid rod possibly preventing this pivot, can you unscrew the solid rod?
