A version of the UJK Parf dogs that Axminster Tools sells have rubber O Rings on them and would very likely take up any minute play you may have. Here's a link and a description of how they can be adjusted to take up any excess play...

I'm in North Essex, near Colchester. I refurbished and sold a slightly later model of this saw in March last year and had three other Forum members who were interested at the time. I offered first refusal to one of them on this next refurbished saw and am awaiting a reply from him to see if he...

A few pictures showing the condition of the saw the day I collected it and got it home...

This is another Startrite TA 145 240v table saw that I have brought back to life. It's an early one from the early/ mid 60's I believe.( possibly earlier!) It was completely stripped down to every nut & bolt and all relevant parts were cleaned and re blackened. Its had new bearings fitted in...

Just a random orbital sander with something like 80 or 120 grit paper......Enough to take the sheen off both faces to give the epoxy the best surfaces to bond to.

"I can use 2-part epoxy glue if you say that is the route. My other option was an adhesive that is widely available here and is listed as specifically for boards like HPL, Formica, this one, what do you think?" I think that type of contact adhesive you linked to is suitable for sticking thinner...

Ooopppss!

I've just had a look at my Elu MBR 100 and it appears to have the adjustment ability to go down to about 8mm thickness on the height settings........but that wont leave much material allowing for a 4mm rebate for the biscuit.

Perhaps its the Lamello machines that have the facility to utilise a thinner/ smaller biscuit ....? I can certainly remember seeing the much smaller size somewhere!

I seem to remember that there used to be some really small biscuits (00 size...??) that could be used on thinner/ smaller materials, such as picture frames....? TBH, ...Its been so long ago since I used my Elu biscuit machine, perhaps I've remembered incorrectly....!?? I should dig it out and...

In one of its uses, as a kitchen worktop, HPL sheets are adhered to each other using 2 pack epoxy glue.

Or, they can be ping'd in a Microwave for a few seconds whilst placed on some Kleenex paper....👍👍.....Then, no sanding needed! Same with Domino's if you find they are too snug.....

As Orraloon said.....Its a thing of beauty!...👍👍❤❤ Well done!

HPL is really tough on TC cutters!! The recommended cutting tools are PCD tipped (Poly Crystalline Diamond) and cost an arm & leg.... I have worked with HPL using TC tipped tools, but they blunt quickly and the prospect of drilling 130/140 x 20mm dia holes would not appeal to me! I would not...

What is the Cu Mtr/ Hr that your existing cooker hood was supposed to extract with 125mm dia ducting..? Do you have a link to the in-line fan you are thinking of using...?

I've been more than happy with my Sealey sander......Its a heavy bit of equipment and seems well built.👍👍

I dont tend to use mine for wood working, as such! The last time I needed to use one of them, I was making a couple of riving knives out of an old table saw blade and wanted to ensure the thickness was the same as the original riving knife. The digital vernier was the ideal tool!....👍

I bought a couple of digital vernier's from Lidl about 5 years back......Still working fine and, as far as I can tell, still reading accurately and using the same batteries that they came with, but I do remove the batteries from them when I've finished using them. I've found that a lot of the...

I sent my Festool Conturo edgebander in to Festool back in November to be repaired and the repair was done and returned to me in a very short time. Cost of the repair was very reasonable @ under £52 inc postage & VAT, and I was more than happy and pleasantly surprised by how little it cost.👍
