Ive just looked at the Yonico bits, not winged at all and look more sturdy as a result,, Steve

Many thanks to you both for the speedy replies, yes I agree, a 2inch bit does sound to be a bit of a monster,,but I think many are smaller,,ish! Fitzroy, Yonico sounds familiar,,is it a 3 or 4 wing job,,this sounds just the sort of thing Im looking at. Ive not got a tremendous amount to do...

Is it Sled or sledge,,sled sounds a bit american? Anyway Im fed up working with out of square timber, I dont have room for thicknessers/planers nor the inclination to break out the rusty plane, so Im making a Sled,,Ive got some larger rebate bits with a dia of around 20mm but Ive been looking at...

Hello Dave, here is the lot I bought from, a chinese outfit but shipped from the uk so regular shipping times, lets see if I can paste this,,, hq-toolshome | eBay Stores Well that looks promising,,given that your trying to avoid tearing up the top edge perhaps a downcut might be best,,,but I...

I used a very cheap from ebay HSS 12.7mm upcut spiral bit on softwood recently, cut 20 slots 50 or 60 mm deep and around 60mm wide, used a slow speed and took it easy and to my suprise the cutter looked as good as new afterwards, maybe one of these would do you for some light use?

Perhaps try it in the middle of the area and see if it does chip the edges,,, Steve.

Just in case anyone is intrested in a wheeled Mitre Saw stand, as you can see this is one of the cheap Aldi Ferrex ones, quite a sturdy stand though its not terribly big. Anyway as you can see it was quite easy to bolt on a pair of 7ins pushchair wheels and instead of struggleing to carry the...

First I know nothing about scroll saws, but just looking at it I really cannot envisage this lady being able to tighten up that clamp enough to hold a blade thats vibrating like crazy whilst having plywood pushed through it useing a thumb screw, whether its steel brass or plastic, Im not...

I bought awning type canvas from ebay a couple of years ago, its probably made in china and bought in bulk by resellers, good range of colours and seemed like good stuff, if you think the french customs will sting you dont you have a mate visiting from the uk who can take it over, or repack and...

I dont do wood turning but Ive had a go on a mates axminster and one thing I didnt like was the initial turning where your knocking off the corners, whack whack whack and with the leverage on the piece I would think that a wood lathe gets its chuck very tight if you allow it any...

Much as I thought, very useful for bevels,,I might see how much they are,, Many thanks to you both, Steve.

My little Katsu is just great but one thing I rather regret was not buying the tilting base that was just a few pounds more when I bought the router a few years ago, I dindnt want a plunge base and have never wanted one but I think the tilting one might have been useful, does anyone use...

I love them, what quality photos, and the bench is just what Im looking to make, small and narrow, I wouldn't have thought ablout keeping the live edge on the backside and the way the legs are fitted,,very useful indeed. Its just nit picking I know but some of the cycle photos are reproduced in...

I guess your sticking PSA sanding discs onto it,,will it matter if its 20thou out prior to this? My much smaller sanding disc made up from an old bench grinder had a horrible wobble on its diy mdf platter but responded perfectly to a couple of gentle taps with a lump of wood and remains quite...

Well the mystery continues, the vice has a machined collar just forward of the handle, this sits behind a retaining plate secured with two screws, the retaining plate is formed so that the collar sits inside it,,,over years of use you would have expected the two faces either side of the collar...

I thought butterflies too, if your splitting off the whole half I wonder how the split would sit if placed back together? I recently joined a couple of sawn bits, biscuits and glue but I then ran the router along the joint which was a little rough and laid in a contrasting strip finished off...

Our hedge is getting a little over 2mtrs high and Im trying to cut it back a bit, we have people walking past but I cant see why I need it taller than I can reach without towers and special ladders?,,,its bad enough cutting it as it is. I now have a Makita cordless, bought quite cheap through an...

After reading this thread I just been out to the shed and guess what, the last box of 500 screws I bought from screwfix only has 495 Screws in it,,,well Im never going there again, I was going to complain but I dont know what I would do if they sent me a Titan Table saw without a fixings...

It looks bloody gorgeous to me,,the view of the cockpit when the camera drops to deck level is breathtaking, its so bloody big,,and the wheel, what a clever idea,,,its like the various one design boats, the X boats and the like only massively bigger and took some nerve to build I guess,,all talk...

Hi, I want to put a “beaded edge” onto the face of some timber prior to joining it T&G style. Looking on ebay etc I can find dedicated Beaded edge bits, the top profile being thinner/smaller than the bottom, but I also see that there are Bullnose bearing guided bits,,same profile top and bottom...
