Well,...If you have commercial premises, the extinguishers you have, need to be checked & certified every 12 months and they only have a limited lifespan before they have to be replaced completely or refurbished......Failure to do so voids any insurance you have.

Yes, they are.👍

I just had another more detailed look at your short videos of your fence......I spotted the welding on the front cast section...😥😥 That could indeed be part of the problem... When adjusted correctly, the front and back normally pretty much clamp up at the same time. The fence on the 165 I'm...

The method I've found that works with this type of fence, is to apply a slight rearward pressure on the front cast section, slide the fence sideways and keeping that pressure on, then tighten down the clamp. As long as the adjustments have been set up as I mentioned in my previous post, the...

The part 116 "Tie Rod", is threaded both ends and the front thread is a normal RH thread......The rear thread is a LH thread and there is a spade end slot in the end to allow for adjustment ( these slots are often very worn...!) This threads into part number 120 " Trunnion Nut"...You will need...

I've been reading your thread with interest @tren and I'm sorry to read about the issues you're having with the saw. Deema has offered some good advice 👍 But, after watching the short video you posted, along with the other issues you've got,......did you really pay £800 for this saw..? That...

I have this one..... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121320651132?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338268676&toolid=10044&customid=CjwKCAiA0bWvBhBjEiwAtEsoW__ODrTlNeAcbVlScZakTh43NPbAeLoBsD1TUqpk4xkuPNSdWkWSJBoC6j4QAvD_BwE I use it with a homemade dust collection box and my...

I've heard tell that putting Systainers in the Dishwasher cleans them up a treat,.....as long as you get permission from the other half ! I've not tried it myself, I hasten to add....😁

I'm selling a Dewalt 708 mitre saw that may suit your needs...? Here's the link..... Thread 'Dewalt DW 708 Mitre Saw + Folding Stand.' https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/dewalt-dw-708-mitre-saw-folding-stand.146390/

My Hammer A3 31 planer thicknesser has the largest surface area and once I've waxed it up, i cover the beds in a couple of old towels. This method really helps to prevent any rust from forming. I adopt the same method on my Charnwood Router table and both machines surfaces seem to have lasted...

I'm up in North Eseex near the coast and I also use the Axminster Machine Wax......Two or three applications a year keeps the rust at bay on nearly all my machines. The only machine that requires more than two or three applications per year is my Axminster 18" bandsaw.......Its cast iron table...

Gate valves are not rated for mains pressure anyway!.....They are only suitable for lower pressures, such as is found on gravity fed and central heating pipework.

It's easy enough to do.....you can buy a small blackening kit that comes with all the relevant fluids that are required. As long as the material you've used to make your riving knife from is made of steel ( not Stainless Steel!), it will blacken up, no problem. I'd be happy to do it for you if...

If I was fitting that kitchen, I would be inclined to remove both stopcocks and replace them with a new one in an easily accessible position. The reason being, God forbid I left the original in and it started leaking for some reason, the Client would be ringing me up to sort it out. While...

The original Startrite riving knives have a faceted front edge on them, bringing the very front to almost a sharpish edge. You can just see it when you zoom in on those two knives in my first picture.....

It's all to do with preventing possible kickback......Say your saws blade has a 2.4mm Kerf and the blades plate is 1.8mm. Your riving knife would ideally be about 2.0/2.2 mm thick. The idea being, that any wood getting cut cant move over into the teeth of the blade any further than the edge of...

Yes, the small slot at the back is for a horizontal pin and the larger cutout is for the clamping bolt/lever, allowing for easy removal & refitting. This is what they look like when fitted on a Startrite.....early ones were red and later ones were yellow!

Agreed! Just use a Vernier to measure the thickness of the material you want to use to check that its thicker than the blade plate, but narrower than the kerf of the blade in the saw.

I made a riving knife for a Startrite saw recently and also used an old saw blade as the source for the metal......I did have the advantage of having an original riving knife to use as a template though. Saw blade plate material is a bit harder to work with than normal mild steel, but I only...

Thanks for the feedback Andrew...👍It's much appreciated. I'm glad you're pleased with the saw. I'm making progress on the next TA145 that you saw when you came down and I've also been doing some welding today on the 165 saw case ( it had a load of holes drilled in it when it was converted from...
