A shop bought tracksaw will perform much better than a home made rail/fence system for a generic circular saw. I see a lot of them on gumtree/FB marketplace going for reasonable money secondhand. Fitz

Welcome onboard. Cleaning up and using old wood is in my opinion something you do because you want to rather than as any cost saving. The exception being old brown wood furniture which can be a very cost effective source of timber. French cleats are another of those things that work in the...

If everything is moving as expected by hand then the next likely candidate is the motor capacitor. If you search dw1150 parts there is a diagram with part 45 as the capacitor. It’s a 30 micro farad capacitor, you’ll want a motor run capacitor, about £10 online. I have the dw1150 and couldn’t...

Kids used it for about 3 hours, not huge kids nor too vigorous but it was actually more robust than I expected. The beach is super nice for digging so the uprights were 3ft in the sand. One of the adults got a bit carried away and the uprights had to have the sand packed back behind them afterwards.

Driftwood swing, been on the ‘to try’ list for a while, turned out ok. Some sawing and rope enabled joints were the limit of the joinery but still a wooden item.

Holiday Let! I read Holiday Jet and thought how are there eight replies, are UKW folks that loaded.

That is the profile on my meeting rails here in Aberdeen.

Steve Maskery, who used to post here and I think is still active elsewhere, has a Kity 637. He's super helpful and may know if this is a screw or simply a hex hole.

Although I do conclude that climate change/global warming is anthropogenic in nature that was not the position of my post. I’m doing my damndest to defend the scientific method. We seem to be moving towards a post fact, post science society. This society ‘stands on the shoulders of giants’ and...

Indeed I am in the pay of the devil, and have been for 25 years. It’s been really interesting, and at times difficult, to experience the journey we are going through as a world from inside an oil company.

The climate of the earth has swung between very different points over the earth’s 4 billion years of existence. Evidence suggest 100million years ago temperatures were much warmer than now, the fossil record shows cold blooded amphibious creatures much farther north than they exist today. The...

The planet will be just fine irrespective of our actions. The problem with the 10% survival is it’s unlikely to be you and yours, and it’ll be darn unpleasant for all involved.

Interested to see the source of your claim that just stop oil are funded by the oil companies? Don’t confuse biological *** and gender, gender is a sociological construct, biological *** a scientific fact. There are more than two sexes, a very small percentage are born intersex, however I...

I wasn’t aware of that so I did a google search on why the terminology changed. There is no evidence that this is the reason. Can you provide a link to the source of this? Yes plants will grow faster in a CO2 rich environment, but that won’t stop sea level rise, increased storm magnitude...

Second half of the split top all boards milled to size. Just trying to work out what to do with the tail vice.

The main climate change expectation for the uk is more rain and storms. Long calm, and therefor hot, summers will become less frequent. The catastrophe scenario for the UK is disruption to the Gulf Stream, which keeps our climate more mild than others at our latitude, however I’ve not seen this...

Unfortunately this is also part of the problem, your experience on its own is irrelevant. This is the world flat earthers live in; I personally see/observe/experience this so it must be true. Whilst your one data point is hugely important to you it needs to be mixed with thousands of others such...

Which is why papers are peer reviewed and statistical results published such that bias can be tested for and avoided. The truth does indeed lie in the middle, in the middle of what the statistics say, not in the middle between the statistics and some whacko cherry picking imbicile. We are all...

I know it’s a different saw but the fence on my Wadkin ags10 does similar, depending on if I bring the fence in or move it away the far end clamps up fractionally lagging from the direction of movement. I can manage this by bringing the fence locking lever slowly and giving the fence a little...

Leeroy, I fear you will not be seeing a reply from Karl as he has not been on since 2017. My old kity tablesaw used a ribbed belt. After removing it I could count the ribs, measure the length and ordered from one of multiple online stores. Fitz
