I bought a secondhand Charnwood W730 a couple of years ago and it's been brilliant. I changed the bearings and fitted Tuffsaws blade and it's cut everything from 1/8" ply to 9" Oak and never missed a beat.

I use one of these Sundstrom masks and don't have any trouble with my glasses steaming up. https://www.arco.co.uk/products/1A400 There are other suppliers out there.

Coming back to band saws, there are couple of really good options (at least on paper) on gumtree, but they are big sizes (14") for around £350-£400 and quite far away from where I live. I enquired with a couple of "man and van" options and the cost of transporting them is £150 or more - which...

Are you sure the blade is square to the table? If it is then you could be unintentionally putting side pressure onto the blade, take your time and let the blade do the work. Also if you cover the pattern with clear packing tape it will stop the burning in the cut. Try thinner wood if you can...

As Nelsun says, try ironing it on.

As far as I know that Rutlands chuck is the same as the Record SC3 and Charnwood Viper 2 chuck.

Like a rosette cutter?

I always thought the rotating disc was to stop the blade twisting when being tightened up, the blade rotation is taken care of by the clamps pivot point.

Just look for leather sewing machine belts, I bought a pack of two off ebay. I have two A1's, one that's painted green and one that's black, no idea what the original colour was and to me it doesn't matter that much.

Regis stoneware, have two, a 12" and 8" haven't killed them yet after several years of abuse.

Steve, did you buy the one you linked to in the original post because if you did then the sizes are ladies sizes.

An old Startrite maybe.

I would think that the brush in the screw on ones would pull out and push into place of the damaged one. The hardest part I would have thought is getting one with the correct brush depth.

It's to do with the release agent on the back of the tape acting as a lubricant, so I'm told.

Chris, to help prevent the burning like on the Beech one, wrap the whole thing in clear packing tape after you've stuck the pattern on.

Mike, let Google be your friend, put clamp heads in the search bar, loads will come up, everywhere from ebay to Yandles. :)

Like Andy I use clamp heads on 2 x 1 wood, I think mine are Record but other makes are available. You then can make up any length required.

I would recommend the Makita.

I can and have fed pieces of wood as short as 6" long through my Makita thicknesser and never had one spit out. The shortest length of wood is determined by the distance apart of the feed rollers, on the Makita they are 5" apart.
