That is a very nice looking bit of cabinet work. I would be very proud to put in up on this forum and you certainly can be. Mark

I can't imagine any productive workshop lining it's walls with endless rows of panel clamping equipment, mainly because I have never seen them put to use in any of the commercial environments that I have worked in. I think the space taken up would be unjustified in real terms. One of these might...

Good point to note. Mark

In most of the boards that I have jointed I have used additional Biscuits or loose tong joints (or dominos can be used) for added rigidity and strength. These may not be needed to strengthen the glue line joint between the boards, should the boards remain stable. But they help spread the glue...

Cheers for the heads up. I have been in the trade for years and using machinery ever since I started over 40 years but still refer to books every now and then. I use a book by F.E.Sherlock (Machine Woodwork Technology for Hand Woodworkers). Again slightly dated but still had plenty of relevant...

If you cut sheet material that has been laminated on both sides and use a standard Table Saw to cut the sheet, then you will almost certainly have some breakout/chipping on the underside side of the sheet (the side that faces the table saw top). You can use a special saw blade for laminate...

I sometimes use a mini polishing/sharpening set similar to these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-Mounted-Stone-Set-5pc-1-8-Shank-Rotary-Grinder-Polishing-Grinding-Tools-/191901217359?hash=item2cae34324f:g:6icAAOSw-4BXZuQT. It's best to have them sharpened professionally but honing of the cutting...

Why not ask for technical help from the saw blade manufacturer that made your saw blade. There are a lot of different ways to grind and profile a saw blade tip and you may find some tip profiles more troublesome than others for trimming small amounts from one side of the blade. For example...

PVA glue's are usually quoted as being stronger than the wood they are bonding, meaning the wood fibres break before the glue line does. Custard is correct that there is really no need to need to be too concerned about using an overly strong wood glue because just about all PVA (and other)...

You could take a look at these machines made by SCM: http://www.scmgroup.me.uk/en/products/classical-machines.c884/surfacer-planers-jointers.892 http://www.scmgroup.me.uk/en/products/classical-machines.c884/thicknessers-planers.973 Above is a link to their Surface planer range also a link to...

Here is a link to the article you cite Mike: http://www.finewoodworking.com/membership/pdf/226630/011259060.pdf This is you stating what the article is about: Mike, the word Gap is used but tolerance is not used at all. To be taken seriously you need to quote the article and not change the...

That's not what Dan Bollock said: "Most of the testing was done to determine............" And who is Dan :?: This is starting to look a bit suspect.

Now I am confused Lol. Mike the tests in this experiment were carried out by someone else, not you, there is no dispute as to your methods relating to how to produce a good joint. For the record I would tend to lean toward what you are implying:.......not to rely upon common wood glues such as...

Mortices produced on a slot mortice machine and tenons that have been sanded and inserted as slip tenons are not the most common method of producing a mortice and tenon joint. It may be more common for a bandsaw to cut the tenons and a chisel and auger to cut the mortices in a DIY situation, or...

Hi RedMist, Try looking at the CMT range of saw blades: http://www.3dtoolingltd.co.uk/CMTCircularSawBladesUK-Category-385.html Their 250mm range have a Kerf of 3.2 and a Plate thickness of 2.2 so will all fit with your riving knife. You will not have to change your riving knife even if you...

A must view, how stupid is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7sRrC2Jpp4 A riving knife and crown guard would help prevent this.

Do you have any sketches with sizes for the proposed window? No you would not steam bend the wood for this. Segments overlapped and glued or solid sections butt and held with M+T joints (or other joint) would be the way to do it. A spindle moulder and bandsaw are very handy for this type of...

Hi, you may need to check and eliminate a few things to see what is causing the problem. As wide47 said check your drive belt tension is correct. 1. First, Run the motor without a load (not cutting wood) to see if the bandsaw stops or jams without a load. 2. Check to see if the motor is...

Nice useful bit of information there Mike Mark

Interesting, and I understand what you are saying about circular saw blade size, but I am not sure it makes a circular potentially any more dangerous than any other machine. If you look at a Bandsaw as an example they have a much larger diameter turning blade than a circular saw, and often have...
