I keep toying with the idea of getting a "Silent" compressor. I was talking to a chap at Machine Mart and he said he sells loads of them to dentists, and when your in the chair (unfortunately for me that is tomorrrow) you can just about hear them. He reckons that is about as quiet as they get...

I've got an approx 15 year old version of that and been thinking along the same lines for flattening very twisted boards. Does this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-26057020 ... B00141A34M or this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-26070000 ... B00141A2ZW look like they will fit? I rarely use...

Hi Bob, I bought this a while back (paid a bit more for it too :-( ) . I can't say I've used all the attachments regularly but the offset attachment is great. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06 ... UTF8&psc=1 I was going to buy 2 additional bosch pro 12v batteries when Amazon had this...

I hear all your saying Mike, and agree with it in the main. I used my home built table and fence (with a bolt pivot!), with a home made lift for about a year. However, the things I like about this hobby are a) making things, b) making jigs & homebuilt tools and c) treating myself to the best...

When i started out, I made a rudimentary table / fence and made an insert from a piece of aluminium plate from ebay. Attached the Bosch 1400 and it was OK. But... I found anything that needed to be accurate was a PITA to achieve. So i bought a Trend CRT and Trend TK11. I got these for about...

+1 for isotunes pro from me too. You can also buy replacement ear foam buds on amazon too - Comply foam ones fit.

That adaptor allows the oldest of canon lenses (FD Mount) to be used with EOS cameras (EF and EFS mount).

Canon have had 4 lens mounts since 1971 FD - Old Slrs 1971 - 1986 EF - 1987 onwards SLRS EF-S - APC-s sensor SLRS EF-M - Newer mirrorless system

RogerS , i’ve had a few of the panny tz series including a tz80 currently. Awesome little camera. I wanted something between the tz size and my canon dslr kit. I opted for a panny fz82 bridge , early indications are very good. Images very crisp, 4k video excellent and a 20-1200 35mm equivalent...

Hi Basssound - who was that company - I might be interested in some of those too & am local to that area

I went this morning and the organisation was a bit chaotic to say the least. The security staff were forcing cars to park just inside the main gate, causing a tailback onto the A46. I got there at 10 am and was queuing down the A46 toward the A1. The crazy thing was, there is a huge number of...

Hi Blackbulldog. I think you may be missing the point of the black strips. They are a splinter guard , I.e. when you make the first cut, the black strip is cut exactly to the position of the blade. This strip will then stop any future cuts from splintering the wood as the blade exits the cut...

This was my first bandsaw. It was a small, but capable machine. The 2 things that made a huge difference to me were a) a Tuffsaws blade, b) following the snodgrass setup.

+1 from me Bri - looking forward to part 2 on youtube. Also got some ideas for my own resin projects in a while.

I had pretty much the same dilemma last year when i was after a new TS. I was convinced that i needed a cast iron top and wasgoing to buy the TS250 + sliding table in the end i did the 100+ mile round trip to my nearest axminster store, spent a good 2 hours looking at and discussing TS's with...

I've had a couple RogerS. Both times i had the spray, which just numbs the back of your throat a bit. It's not that pleasant a procedure, but then it certainly aint the worst. It lasts about 5-10 minutes usually, and once they have the tube down your oesophagus thats about it. They will likely...

+1 for Tuffsaws. If you email and tell Ian what you are planning to do/use, he will recommend a blade. The service I have received from them in the past has been exemplary.

Have a look at hypnos. My work means i spend a lot of nights away from home in hotels, and while premier inns are not always the most salubrious of places, the hypnos mattresses are always bang on for me. There are also a few that allow you to try for 100 nights or so, and they will collect at...

It's $99 for the year for everything, or $10 per month. I also subscribe to the digital version only - well worth the money.

novocaine - you dont know how close i was to doing that however... I've been away most of the week with work, so no progress until today. As 1 or 2 members indicated they might do something similar, i've tried to do a bit of a WIP thread below - first attempt at something like this - so be...
