For some reason, I thought embellishment and abutment meant the same thing! Webster says otherwise, I'd change my title if it were possible. Some more progress made, this counter top stuff had a pile of timber stacked on top. Was debating to do it with power, but it's tough stuff so I didn't...

+1 for iroko, and only judging so from this picture, as I can't see the face grain in the others. It's very noticeable with iroko's course grain. Looks like the stain has penetrated about an inch down, but that's likely oil or whatever from the saw, either way that's a thorough job was done...

Have you got a fancy router plate for the table, or using something homemade? Asking, as I get the impression something with features seemingly might not be as simple as that. Either way, nice to read of that being a non-issue to some. :) Never used a router table myself, so it's a bit of a...

Perhaps you mean 400mm saw, i.e FB400?

I use a big lump of an offcut myself, and still have the square of ply with magnets stuck to the underside to facilitate clearing the webbing when clamping it down, (back when I had lesser clamps) I don't need to clamp that lump down too often, just held with my right hand, solid as you need...

This is worth a look if you needed such a thing.

I'd consider an engineers one, basically twice as hefty as the regular budget jobs. I've seen some used going for the same money as the cheapo's. If going new, I'd consider getting a dial test indicator and checking in person.

Probably terrified, as some road rage maniac was after her on the footpath!

Actual evidence of wheel bore wear would likely thin things down to the few machines out there with foot mounted motors, so the saw could be accurately set up in the first place. The same could be said for the rubber I suppose, though that being highly variable. Evidence of blade damage (on a...

Is it suited for mitre saws, or has it positive rake? Here's the best thread on that, which you will likely find http://www.thewoodhaven2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=5266 Tom

Perhaps I've just gotten used to a bad supply, as those two are the only ones I've ever used?

Does anyone find they need adhere a slip or more, of what I guess would be the width of the blade for this operation?

I suggest you try someone else's welder, to loose that impression of bad quality. I find it easier to use than the one at me folks, which has 16a supply, adjustable amperage, cooling fan, and whatever else. That being really cumbersome leads, what's another apple to juggle, to me. The only...

Welding would be my preference, not too costly all in for forty quid. Pick up some hefty drills for the job in there too, to fit whatever bar you might choose. Invisible and trustworthy, for a big ol heavy pile of books.

Coplanar shim Check motor pulley protrusion Machine leveled for upper wheel and carriage adjustment A Centauro CO 600 tire has the crown 1mm closer to the front edge. Those are things I'd check, hopefully no issues will show up. All the best Tom

Might as well test run it with the table off, and guides outta the way... Plenty of things you could find out, what wouldn't be possible to find out otherwise. Tramming the wheels, checking if the faces might have 0.2mm discrepancy, then you could align the wheels, and motor to the upper wheel...

I used a bearing for my thrust guide, works grand, though I suspect it will clog, so stop ragging on my cord.! I didn't have one before that. You don't really need guides if your ripping or resawing, only for curves with small blades, so they would do the job in my opinion. Have you tested the...

That's quite a task for any machine, and a case for something height adjustable, which you won't likely get from any machine. More food for thought, seems something worth having to me. Tom

The only time I can recall needing to use my sander was for shaping the end grain of heavy timbers, and it would still be a balancing act for that Wadkin's table, let alone anything I've seen which you could buy whats imported. A hinged table or adjustable height base to suit a bench or...

That's acetone, which I've read makes a great penetrating fluid when mixed with ATF or likely something more readily found on this side of the pond. I've read it evaporates fairly quickly, so for one offs, that comes across as a practical solution to me?
