I think that's out in the west of the county...Epping Forest, I believe.

Train or bus to historic Harwich is easy from Colchester. Original home port of " The Mayflower " and where its Captain lived ( you can take a tour around his old house I believe). They were building a full size working replica of the ship until a few years back and you used to be able to take...

I wasnt being deliberately provocative.....Honest! 😁

Didn't the EU recently bring out new legislation that meant built in obsolescence was no longer going to be allowed .....?? I'm sure I read somewhere that all electrical domestic use devices were now going to have to be repairable and that Consumers would have guaranteed access to parts and, if...

I recently bought a pack of 3 of their Triple Chip blades for my Festool tracksaw and have been quite dissapointed with how short a time they keep their sharpness......I've only ever used Festool blades until recently and they do seem to last longer. I've only been cutting 18mm Melamine Faced...

I do quite a bit of Solid Surface fabrication (Corian), and it is a messy process without really good dust extraction. I have a dedicated 11 litre capacity Festool dust extractor that I use when fabricating & sanding that is over 20 years old now (it still works perfectly well) and the paper...

It looks to be the same version I have from the early1930's and it would be such a shame to scrap it. Original parts are difficult to get hold of.....I'm sure you will find someone who will appreciate it and possibly try to restore it back to working condition.

4th vote for Iroko 👍

Just thought I'd let you know,.....I think you will find that your vice is earlier than you thought...!! Looking at that front face, for example,....I think it dates from the 1930's as the later versions were different. The presence & location of the RD 664709 number and the position of the "...

I have to have various types of extinguishers at my business premises, as it's an insurance requirement as well as common sense. They also need to be serviced every year and re-certified. This can only be done for a certain amount of times before the extinguishers have to be replaced with...

Nearly £53 Inc vat,....not exactly cheap and it needs a 12mm collet....not every router has the facility to fit a 12mm collet, hence why its probably been reduced in price...??

With 2 pieces of wood that size, weight & thickness, I would be inclined to square the edges up using a router and doing it by way of a " Mirror Cut". If the 2 edges have a mm or so gap when pushed together, then just clamp the 2 pieces down flat on a good flat surface. If your router cutter is...

The difference between a 2200w router and a 2400w router is less than 1 amp in current draw......As these type of NVR switches have 13amp plug outlets on them, I'm sure they will work fine......I've been using my Charnwood switch with a 2400w router for years now and its had no detrimental...

I have this one on my router table.....It works fine. https://www.machinery4wood.co.uk/Charnwood-W026-NVR-Safety-Switch-240v/P13611/froogle?gclid=Cj0KCQjw6J-SBhCrARIsAH0yMZiS6s8Hzq-XNGXCoID4ln9OGHR2givtfee5DlLIXkoj15D0fxs20BAaAi_zEALw_wcB I'm not sure I'd want a foot operated switch to be...

Once you've knocked the pins down far enough so that they are free from the cast iron top and the top lifted off, you can then continue to punch the spring pins out and through the bottom side of the trunnion mount. When you reassemble the saw and put the cast iron top back in position, tap the...

I think the screwdriver slot in the end of item 9, just allows you the ability to rotate it occasionally if, as in your case, it gets a bit stiff. If you have wound the handle far enough to the point where the pin should have popped out, ...just try tweaking the screwdriver slot back & forth and...

I've just checked, and on the earlier versions of the 145 & 165, there were only 2 bolts, 2 spacers ( spring loaded) and a single rectangular block to fix the riving knife in postion. The later models of the saws utilised 4 bolts and 4 spacers,.....hence why that exploded diagram seems to be a...

I'm not too sure what's been going on with some of those components you've got there Fiesta,....but as youve probably gathered by now, that's not how it was originally configured. My guess is, a previous owner of the saw has taken off the riving knife and the original mounting bolts & spacers...

I think the reduced height fence is 10mm high if my memory serves.....I was looking at the BenchDogs fence system just the other day. Edit. You think 6mm Peter...? I must have misread the specification! Edit 2. I did misread the spec,.....its actually 9mm high. I just checked.

Maybe it was just the way he was holding/supporting the rails when the rails were hinged upwards, but it looked like the rail wouldn't stay up on it's own....The original Festool one does! That would annoy me, as when you're changing from one piece of material to the next one, you would need...
