Yeah he takes orders for large items if you were to purchase them so to ship something there wouldn't be much different. It costs £5 an item though for him to take the delivery and store it but he can hold it for a good while. He's a nice fella to deal with

If you don't want to transport it across yourself you could get it shipped to Spacehub in Derry. I use there a lot for buying from the UK. Good luck in Galway I work there myself. I don't know of any cabinet making workshops in Galway but I'm sure there are some around you just have to look...

The fence system for these p/ts isn't great anyway and aren't meant for very precise work. I do have the record version and the bracket system on mine fell to pieces so I made my own and to get it square it required a lot of shims and another long piece of timber nearly the length and height of...

I have had the Laguna saw for over 2 years now and it was a major upgrade regarding quick change features and accuracy compared to a previous SIP machine which I had. I believe the SIP and Axminster machines are very similar and made in the same factory with the same erks that I hated. I cannot...

I found an old wide rubber seal that would usually be installed in the waste outlet of a sink. I sharpened the end of a copper pipe on the grinder and cut 4 nice circles out of it. Works fantastic really grippy

Oh sorry to hear that hope you recover soon. I'll attach some pictures of the bolts when I think of it

There are 4 bolts with springs underneath the blade on both side of the thicknesser bed in the frame of the machine. These bolts go into 4 plastic bearings you could call them that hold the feed rollers. I know all about them I had to make one yesterday. You can loosen or tighten these bolts to...

Does it need to be 10-12 inch IGM Tools do a CMT orange blade but it's only 150 & 180mm https://www.igmtools.com/cmt-orange-industrial-grooving-saw-blade--d150x2-d30-z12-hw/

I have also been looking for dust extraction piping recently. I looked at the manrose piping too because it was cheap but they don't sell y junctions and they will shoot up the price of your system if you buy them seperatly from a woodworking shop. I found that 4" sewer pipe and fittings worked...

I bought my motor for my bandsaw off these guys Electrotech Drives - Electric Motors Ireland and Gearboxes Northern Ireland has worked perfectly so far

I have a Pacini 200 a slightly older version of the welder linked below I bought it a couple of years ago. It has been very good had no trouble with it welds 3.2mm rods no bother even 4mm. It's on sale at the moment but may not be worth it with import duties...

Thanks for the information Bojam. It sounds like a good machine and good after sales service I have been reading some french forum pages on it. I will definitely be considering it when I get around to getting a new p/t. I'll have to see what delivery would be to Ireland and if they even deliver...

That's really interesting Bojam I haven't even heard of that brand before. I looked on there website and the price has gone up. It is out of stock though. Is the hammer worth the extra 600 I wonder

I am currently saving up for a new planer thicknesser and I looked at quite a lot a the different brands and the sizes. I have a 260 record at the moment I bought second hand but it has too many problems. I have found a few times that I've had to use different ways of flattening pieces or to...

I was looking at a remote system yesterday actually. I came across this video It looks a good system but when you look up all the stuff it works out a bit expensive I really liked the idea of the large switches though

I don't think Id be confident enough to do that 😅

Also just something else to note when making the pulley wheel I had some issues at the beginning with the belt slipping when starting its quite fast so I added some stixall to the birch ply pulley to add grip and also tightened the belt tension, I don't get slippage anymore but the belt might be...

Thanks for all your replies sorry I'm a bit late replying I've been busy at work. I bought the motor brand new this time last year https://www.electrotechdrives.co.uk/product/1-5kw-2-hp-2800rpm-240v-electric-motor-single-phase/ I'm presume the capacitor is good because once the fuse is changed...

Hi All, This time last year I made Matthias Wandels 20" bandsaw. It has been fantastic and working very well except a couple of times now it has blown a fuse in the plug. It has a 2hp single phase motor wired to a nvr switch The first time it blew the fuse was on startup it kicked for a second...

Doesn't look like sycamore willow as mentioned above. Is the bark easy to peel off? There are many different types of willow
