Thanks all for the comments.... i got lucky in the end, I was talking to a neighbour who is a marine engineer. He googled it ( which i had tried ) and found a bit of info suggesting the yokes should be inline to balance the prop. I then realised i had been pretty dumb, because the rear half was...

Thanks roy, but in terms of nailing the position of the yoke on the splines to get the prop balanced again..... Currently im thinking i might take the shaft off, and just have the yoke and prop bolted in, with bearing, and see if i can detect any wobble.... if so i might be able to figure it out...

😔😒 I failed today..... my L200 needed a new propshaft centre bearing, so i bought a new one from mitsubishi ( the aftermarket ones often dont last well ) Anyway, i took it off, split the u.j, took the yoke off, pulled the bearing and then reassembled. When i drove it a few hours later, it had...

Ive been doing it with pendulum on for about 26 years and have never broken a holder. Ive had a couple of blades snap but that has mostly happened on straight cuts doing laminate when that was an in thing..... and the pendulum definitely speeds up curves, it'd be interesting to do a few tests in...

I just ran it along the edge of a piece of mdf abd in fact, it does end up square on full swing 😐 at its top position the blade is back to being square

Yesterday i was on daddy daycare duty, so i couldnt look at my jigsaw. Today im back on site. @Doug71 Is correct, the blade actually moves backwards when swing is engaged, not forwards as i said..... with zero swing the blade is at 90 to the base. My makita moves backwards about 5mm on full...

Im not jacob.... im a carpenter too..... and i said i wasn't looking to teach you to suck eggs..... and lastly, the manufacturers call it pendulum swing..... so 😘 Edit to add: After a 5 minute google, it seems we call it pendulum and in the states they say orbital. Tools here are advertised as...

It does depend how far you go with it.... just torching the surface a bit will help bring the sap to the surface and protect the wood for a bit longer, but to do it pproperlyyou have to charr the wood. Interestingly, if you just torch the surface a bit, it will fade in the sunlight..... and end...

Hi lefley, not wanting to teach you to suck eggs, but that 3 position lever is a pendulum swing. If it is set to 0 , then the blades just goes up and down. This is the setting for downwards cutting blades and can be used for slow cutting curves, although it is much slower. As you progress...

Maple badminton court?? 😁 i dont play badminton, but it sounds good 😆

Wasnt that today??? Edit: just googled it, 6th may. I thought it was today, but its just a bank holiday today 😆

How do you fit it all in? Seems you are always busy !

When you say laminate...... is that engineered wood or similar?

If you got creative and laminate yourself 3 x long curves out pf thin strips, it'd probably be just about sturdy enough when tied together...... the ground anchoring being important, i.e posts set in concrete every 1.8m, the 3 curved horizontal rails fixed to posts and battens fixed to the...

Try putting a blank across the breakout face ( i.e a sacrificial piece to stop the fibres being blown out of the workpiece )

I'll remember that for when i get past it, ive got plenty of oxalic in the shed 😆

You need the festool tracksaw pencil adapter

Thanks, your thread just encouraged me to grab a guitar from the cupboard and practice..... i haven't picked one up for nearly 2 years! 🤔 i could do that rather than trawling the internet in my spare time

Another member was considering a treadmill setup for a linisher, was a great idea 💡
