My limited experience has all been trial and error, although I have not experienced any real mishaps. The main adjustment I have had to play with is to angle the feeder in towards the fence adequately. The Scheppach feeder (on Scheppach spindle moulder) I have has adjustable speeds, but I have...

Adam You may like to check you are receiving your pm's - I have replied to you twice, but it seems from your previous message you are not receiving mine. cheers

Adam asked me for details of the pressure conversion parts for the Fuji XT gun; I said I would post here in case anyone else is interested. Here are two pictures of the gravity feed gun with the pressure tube modification: Here is a copy of the parts diagram (taken from the latest manual...

Adam I have a brand new unused gravity to bottom feed ("g2b") conversion kit for the Fuji XT gun. My Fuji Q4 came with a bottom feed gun as standard and I bought this g2b conversion kit in error intending to get a b2g one(!) and for some reason that I cannot recall, it was not economic to send...

Hi Dibs It is looking very neat. What is the insulation you are fitting? I know you said it is like Kingspan without the foil - in the pictures it looks like polystyrene. I am looking for something to add some insulation to my loft and do not want to fit foil as it will shield the tv and...

That looks very nicely made - I think I agree I would have preferred to leave it natural; I am never sure that "varnished" wood looks right outside. One other query - the gate looks the wrong way round to me (although perhaps I do not see the whole setting. It would look "right" to have the...

I wonder could Doug post some more details of this system and the machines it is applicable to? I have a Scheppach 3200 (a mere two-knife cutter block) and wonder whether the system could be fitted to that (and what the cost might be). I truly hate the faff of refitting planer blades and as a...

Does anyone have any suggestions for sawing aluminium on the bandsaw? My bandsaw (Scheppach Basato 5-4) has a slow speed that is stated as being for non-ferrous metals. I have a bi-metal blade with fine teeth. I used this to rip down some strips off some aluminium sections (in fact they were...

Hi the method I use to scribe a template for an enclosed opening such as this is to use a number of thin strips (say 4-6") that I individually scribe to the various sections of the opening and then fix together with hot-melt glue which gives an instant and reliable fix. I use whatever scrap...

You got a superb bargain with the elektra beckum mitre saw. I have a somewhat newer version of the same thing in blue, not green a KGS301, I think. It is wonderful to use as it has an induction motor, unlike most other saws (including my Festool Kapex...) It does spin for an age after...

Martin I have got sundry stuff from here http://www.collegeengineering.co.uk/materials.htm nice people to deal with cheers

Hello I have a de walt biscuit joiner (very little use/one careful owner...) that is due to go on eBay very soon - plus numerous other things. I was planning to offer them here for a short period first. 240 volt tho' I'm afraid. Let me know if you want details cheers

Hi I am a fan of Cascamite and use it for all large glue-ups. I have never used the volume method and always weigh out the powder and water. I use a small set of electronic scales and 4 little plastic pots including one to mix the glue in. 1. Rinse out 3 of the pots but don't dry them - this...

I would be interested to know what you are making (or repairing?) softtop. We have these internal sliding shutters on some of the windows in our (victorian) house. They all need renovating (just another item on the infinite round tuit list...). They basically work like big sash windows...

Hi Mark If you pm me your email address, I can send you a copy of the manual I have. You will find that the guys at nma http://nmatools.co.uk/ (the principal distributors) are extremely helpful with any queries on setting up the machine and spare parts etc. Which model of the spindle moulder...

Should only take 5 mins to assemble/disassemble - this time it took me longer as I was taking the photos - also I found that the wooden dowels on the front plastic frame had swelled up a bit which took a few minutes to sort out (and I will find another bit of plastic pipe to replace these with...

I promised a little while ago to post some details of my knock down home spray booth. In my case, the considerations were: knockable down to flat pack, transportable, capable of taking an 8ft wide unit/door, well sealed as it is being used initially in smallish rooms that have been finished...

I have seen good reports of this system and intend to get one of these some time http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRITON-MULTI-USE- ... 2a02a0b501 cheers
