Formerly the Thetis?

https://startrite-spares.co.uk/ There’s no mention of a PT260 on the website but they may know where you could get hold of them.

Can I ask where you purchased the planer as we got rid of ours at work a few months ago, it went to auction at a company in Malmesbury. As for the spring tension, by correct thickness are you going with the scale on the side?

You can get perfect tenons using this technique if you’ve only got a bandsaw. It works best with a vernier caliper as a mortise gauge won’t be accurate enough. Rip your tenons 0.25mm thicker in the first rip. Cut your shoulders. Clamp a piece of square end timber to your bandsaw table, making...

Old school would be chisel to chop down to the line like you would for a butt hinge, then rebate or shoulder plane to clean it up and split the line. Corners and the bottom 4” are difficult and need to be done mostly with a chisel and bullnose. A router might work if you’ve enough width to tack...

I’d recommend just using it as a crosscut saw as ripping with a radial arm isn’t advised.

I’ve used this method to square up the radial arm saw at work with a 20” ish square piece of MDF. Surprisingly effective.

Your cuts are too deep.

It’s the pinching that causes that as well.

You don’t own a Table Saw yet here you are lecturing experienced users about operating Table Saws 🤷‍♂️

That sounds like an excellent idea!

I purchased some once but sent them back as I could set the blades more accurately with the traditional two line method.

It was always a Mortise Gauge for marking mortises, and always marked from the Face Side. This was to guarantee flush joints due to the possibility of uneven thickness hand prepared stock. Not so much of a problem with machined stock but still nice to keep up traditions.

Show us his hinge and latch recesses, and the shadow gap, this’ll tell us if he’s a carpenter or not.

I’m beginning to think you have shares in this jig.

I think you’re missing the point here Elisha, you’re dismissing the opinions of people who have many years experience of doing this for a living. I explained in my previous post your jig is perhaps flawed, and even suggested an alternative that might be a better idea.

Nice chisels!

Notice I said unthreaded, as in bolt and nut…

Norm Abram had a small Hitachi resaw he’d use for sawing veneers. It was only the same size as a 12” bandsaw but took a 3” blade.
