This issue remains unresolved.. Firstly, I confirmed with the Inca Maschinen specialist in Switzerland that the indeed roller is indeed very worn in the centre - a replacement was available at an eye-watering price, but I went ahead and it got lost in the post in Switzerland!! It is really...

I must watch Catch 22 again!

I was wary of this from the outset - my original thinking was (as well as the ply and mdf conveniently making up the thickness I wanted) that the ply would balance the Formica layer. But…if the consensus is that you don’t need to balance the Formica, by the same token, it won’t balance the ply...

Thanks Jacob - It is rubbish mdf, which is why I wanted to bury it in this composition (thinking it’s only a workshop item)! I should have added the option of adding another layer of ¼” birch ply before the Formica - I don’t really want to make it that thick, but I probably need 30mm minimum as...

I am making a new drill press table and matching worktop for the cabinet beneath. I have some Formica that I plan to use for the tops and I have made up two bases, each a lamination of 25mm mdf and ¼” birch ply (just some old stuff I had hanging around). The edges will be lipped. The mdf and...

Not sure about the use of contactors - why not use the thing designed for the job https://www.manomano.co.uk/p/automatic-switch-on-mechanism-230v-for-scheppach-ha1000-woova-30-woova-70-36424639 I have had one of these for many years and it works really well - there is a delayed start on the...

Also, does this come with a hopper as standard? If not, I would want one. Cheers

I had a Graco airless pump (ST Max II 495). It came with a little bottle of pump armor, but the machine needed more - from memory about 3/4 litre(?) and I was rather put off by the price of it. I ended up using white spirit - this was based on some recommendation I had seen (I think it was US...

If you need any parts, Richard at NMA tools is your man. He is very helpful and can let you have a copy of the manual (as could I if I was where it is). Cheers

The tool is definitely a multi tool as has been said, plus lots of careful chiselling and sanding - still not sure how it will look (from the outside as well as inside. Is it really necessary to remove the opening casement? You could reglaze it if the glass is not what you want and then fix...

Maybe Acacia Wood? You could sand the top and then use Osmo Hardwax Oil. You can use the technique shown in this video But you really don’t have to make it quite as hard work as Matt does. Cheers

looks like a Jessem router table (same as mine) - I will try your technique next time I have a few to do. Thank you. @Dibs-h re the cutter on the arbor - see @Jonnyb ‘s earlier comments and look up on the Wealden website - that will explain. Cheers

@Jonnyb I agree that a sharper point looks best on the beading - I must try those mimi-mould cutters - I notice though that the inner cut is angled rather than square as in the normal beading cutters. Anyway, I was interested in your description of using a “mortar groove cutter” for the mitres...

Interesting point.. I had a look and the site says you need to accept non-necessary cookies to view 3rd party content (all YouTube, I guess) - would that be a requirement of the Quickwire site linking to YouTube? I don’t know. Until very recently, I have been blasé about accepting all cookies...

They don’t need a separate enclosure because the wiring remains double insulated into the Quickwire box - ie there is no exposed single insulated cable (and you need a tool to undo it). I think these are the requirements. I think these are the neatest solution I have seen - you can pop the...

I have a proper table, but the Elu accessory still has uses.

I sold my Elu MOF96E some years ago, together with its little router table as I decided I had too many routers (I do), including a full set of Festool. After a while, I found I had various little jobs that the MOF96E was best for. I tried a long shot and contacted the buyer of mine about 5...

Wago connectors are great, but they all need to be in an enclosure. Wago do one for these 224 lighting connectors “Wago Light” see here Reliable Solutions for Many Sectors and Industries | WAGO I haven‘t used these particular ones, but other Wago boxes i have used are pretty chunky. Another...

In store the large format laminated catalogues that you could use to select your stuff have now been replaced by a computer terminal - based on recent experience, these are so useless as to be completely unusable, meaning I have had to resort to using my phone to consult the Screwfix website -...
