    Block plane setting

    Now your asking! On the one hand, a secondary bevel makes touching up the edge quicker, but on the other, it increases the blades cutting angle. Some will argue that the lower the bevel the better, whilst others prefer a steeper angle. Steeper is better for highly figured timber, whilst i...

He said you wouldnt believe hiw many people just take stuff. Obviously once its in his trailer, its his. I got a...

    Morticer or pillar drill

    Thats a great answer above. To add to that, you can make yourself a table with adjustable fence to bolt or screw to your pillar drill table. Ive got a floorstanding pillar drill and made a quick top and fence. It works well enough. I also have a morticer, and you can use it as a stationary...

    Scheppach ts82 riving knife help

    I dont know that saw. I had a multico which the riving knife was bolted to a block under the table. This block was part of the rise and fall. The block was machined at the factory i guess, for the knife to be in line with the centre of the blade. My dewalt t/s has 1 bolt and a sprung tab that...

    Multico planer

    While you are replacing it, go bigger, or as big as you can within the motor frame size. Once youve got it out of the planer, you should be able to match up shaft size and any bolt pattern to the relevant replacement motor

    Little wins....!

    Sorry to hear of your accident. As james said, often quiter roads unless its summertime, in which case its often busy, but you will definitely find the locals whizzing about at high speed.... we are used to the roads and not scared of the hedges. To be fair, you'll soon learn the road speeds...

    Why use a cyclone on your vac for power tools?

    Ive got a dw745. My blade area is enclosed ( factory ) and a George hoover fits perfectly in the adaptor for site use. The 68mm downpipe fittings are plumbed into my workshop extractor. I find the lower extraction is very good. I need to make a new crown guard to get the top extraction better (...

    Help finding architrave

    Phone southern timber and ask what pine bullnose sizes they stock. Make sure you specify finish size, not ex. I.e finish size 15 x 95 is likely what theyll have, but ex would be 18 x 100 or something. They are in ipplepen, a few minutes outside Newton

    Cutting 2" oak...

    Hi james, id use the tablesaw instead of buying more kit. you could set up a couple of roller stands if you have them, for supporting the ends.... and you'll want a 24 tooth rip blade for the table saw.... worth getting a freud or similar, search ebay, it'll be about 25, 30 quid

    Kitty Bandsaw 513, 613 and 612 shedding blade

    What machine are you on now tom?? Those wheels look huuuge! I had a mix of 6mm and 12mm blades for my kity. The 6mm obviously for curves and 12mm for straight. There is of course the possibility of a lack of experience..... the kity was my first bandsaw, so maybe mpre experienced members...

    Kitty Bandsaw 513, 613 and 612 shedding blade

    I had one and was happy with it after i resolved a tyre issue. Ive got a bigger machine now. @Sachakins and @Chippymint helped me got mine fixed up. First, check ( without a blade ) that the tilt knob is actually working and tilting the top wheel. Then check the tension goes fully up and fully...

    Which silicon to use

    You can get very good results off a nozzle, but theres often a slight imperfection as you reapply pressure on the caulk gun handle on a longer run, and where there are internal corners ( best thing is to work from the corner out to limit buildup ) Whichever way you do it, you need to avoid the...

    Which silicon to use

    Yes, thats why it works better, and thats why the bead is incredibly important. Most guys cut the nozzle to a taper and angle it into the work area at about 45°. The ideal bead meets both edges of the work area and the nozzle gives a first attempt at profile as it passes over.... this basically...

    oh to be 1/2 that skilled.....

    I will check that, but previously i bought our son a kindle fire kids tablet and it gave the option of a subscription.... i clicked no, because i didnt want to pay 4.99 a month for books he wouldn't read, and they started taking it anyway! Another time i got billed 9.99 for a book. I phoned them...

    Which silicon to use

    All the pro's do... over the years weve had numerous sealant companies in and they all used a bit of fairy.... i do too, and it is noticeably better to profile cleanly
