Is it definitely racking, or could it just be rocking and walking about? I'd say the floor is worse than you think. I'd definitely add a strecher or two, it would add mass to counter the former, and would lend a hand to making a shelf, be it a few boards or whatever laid on top. It would hold...

Aye, you can achieve this even with an out of whack plane, should you follow David Charlesworth's videos. (stopped shavings, and his definition of a straight edge) You can pair timbers together and double an error, which one can go finer and finer doubling it beyond vision, until it's within...

How do you propose the premium planes to measured, if you don't have two of meeting points at toe and heel? Sounds costly to do it right, and it wouldn't favour any room for error either. I'd sooner have a concave sole rather than a banana, as all that's required is merely a lick of abrasive to...

Perhaps you need to think out of the box? Surely this might inspire Or how about some noisy awkward solution, chains within poles, alarms within which one, is there a puzzle?

Best I've seen.

It could be a few issues, but must say its the first case of a wheel being warped for no good reason, which I've seen (should it be the case) I've always seen strange alloys as something which shouldn't be used for bandwheels, nor other cast components. (Is it magnesium or some alloy, I...

Seemingly the Sawstop machines have made things worse from what I've seen. It's evolved into safe habits being completely ignored. I consider Cosman's work credible, but he's clearly not too bothered about his followers, and would seemingly rather folks not to be scared of their old machines...

Don't buy anything but a Bailey smoother first, i.e Stanley/Record for very little, and learn how to use a double iron smoother first, i.e involvement of the cap iron straight shavings and not curlies, this will tell you the cap iron is working. You won't see the cap iron working in most folks...

I think @deema or @Sideways might have a 275 their doing up, have a look at their resto threads, it won't be cheap, but possibly even better than original. ...or just follow their thread on the overhaul and buy one which looks very tidy. Getting the depth of cut specs might prove difficult...

Gotta be the Huanyang HY02D223B of course What's not to love? Not to be confused with the HY02D223B from the ISACON-ASKPOWER corporation, They may be quiet, but lacking the relevant parameters for de-rating larger motors! Beautifully crafted for the money :p 2.2kW Huanyang VFD, around a...

I guessed these machines had the same specs , and thats the end of comparing with each other, DEPTH OF CUT @ 90. 79mm on the Laguna Cutting height at 90° max. 87 mm on the Scheppach I don't know if there's any manufacturers of WW machinery in Germany, not of the sheet metal type, the machine is...

Doubt you will find a comparison between, unless one has some feature over the other. i.e longer arbor for dado stacks, sliding table, or motor power. I could ask do you plan on moving the saw, do you plan on making a heavy base up for it? If not moving it, then I'd doubt you would have to...

How about a before shot of the stock, which has a planed surface? I find it very difficult to identify anything in the round, compared to seeing what the grain looks like on the flat, and that band of glare is in the worst area to spot the pore depth. If a planed up example was shown... Then...

I've never tried setting my blades, mainly because I've not been brave enough to try using a pliers, and would rather buy an old saw set instead to attempt it, and not the older slotted bladed types. Now, I've never looked on ebay or the likes to try and find something suitable, and wondering...

I cannot answer your question, but I'd be looking for the options you have regarding thin gauge blades. I've not seen any sort of a head to head comparison between if that was in the back of your mind. It's quite a small machine, so I'd suggest looking up popular machines of that size to get...

Seems the faceplate bottoms out on the spindle, I've only used mine once. I think it would certainly be worth inspecting using some permanent marker and rubbing faces together, i.e cinch the thread home, to see if something becomes obvious, and possibly bodge facing the end of the spindle with...

If this is the machine, then it would appear that those circlips are for the bearings, not for removing the wheel, and you can simply undo 2 of the jacking bolts, say 9 and 12 o'clock being careful not to adjust the others which should be locked solid with nuts (as you would have set the...

First things first, did you have a go , i.e cleaning and multiple attempts at getting the drive spur to seat into the MT without runout? I've got one of those lathes, and never noticed issues with this, I bought a nice steb centre for mine for very little, a site suggested here before. That...

Your photo makes it look like Idigbo rather than iroko to me, but they have similar characteristics, i.e still likely enough toxins in the lighter coloured idigbo to not be liked by anything fungal. I have lots of damp iroko, it doesn't really get mold. It does present mineral deposits which...

It seems the jig shown in Roy's video has gone out the window? I'm going making one sometime, now I have the answer to why my fence has holes tapped into it.
