    Which sanding discs?

    I found it difficult to find anyone selling cubitron in small quantities suitable for me to trial. I have 125mm ETS and Rotex which I appreciate are the less common smaller sized machines

    Bandsaw blade advice please 😀

    I completely agree with the other posters, ask ian and he will give you good direction on what will be suitable for your use and saw. I expect he will reccomend his 'Sabrecut' range as you are talking about cutting green woods: A specialist Diamond Ground carbon steel blade with hardened...

    Dust Extractor for small shop

    Another of the axi ones here in derby, maybe near you? yeah they seem to go shockingly cheap. I got my rexon one (pictured) for £40 posted including a length of hose. It can be mounted on the wall, on the floor, on it's side or upside down. I have it in a cabinet, right side up, bag pointing...

    Dust Extractor for small shop

    I have a rexon one which is the same as the axi one you have linked - bought it second hand is about 25 years old but works brilliantly for my P/T. Would highly reccomend that style. I also have a dustbin type extractor which I use for the chop saw, router etc, its more of a high-pressure...

    Where to get plans for general woodwork projects?

    I do find that whatever project I am doing, even if I find inspiration from another person's work or some plans, I always have to customise the dimensions anyway to meet my requirements. Maybe understanding the scale/ratio of measurements is of some help from an aesthetic perspective. I think...

    Where to get plans for general woodwork projects?

    I like woodsmith and have bought one of their plans before. I find that you can usually look at a design though and work out what you need to make it mostly so I tend not to buy them, rather copy a design i've seen. Oh I should have said these are still US plans but I just convert to metric. I...

    Automatically switch on a extractor when a tool is powered on.

    I use one of these: KEMO M103N. You can get on amazon DE for about £20 including UK shipping. It could be wired in to just one master socket, then anything plugged into that, when in use, would then turn on the slave socket ( extractor).. I have it wired into a number of sockets throughout my...

    Elu mff81 bearings - help needed!

    All my bearing pullers are used old things from facebook marketplace. It's surprising how much I use them really and there isn't an alternative for doing the job when you need one. Go and pick up this set of 3 from your local euro car parts, cheap enough...

    What bandsaw do I need?

    I think that you would probably find that the problems you are experiencing could be addressed with some more work to tune up your existing bandsaw. I have a small 3 wheeled machine CBS355, now that it's adjusted properly, and using an appropriate blade (I also use tuffsaws and could not be...

    Essential first aid items.

    As a paramedic by trade, I second this sentiment. The sort of injuries that require a plaster/steri strips/glue/a simple dressing etc can really wait until you walk into the house or wherever to be sorted (assuming this is a home workshop and not a commercial one). The sort of things that...

    Which sanding discs?

    If you go onto ebay you will find people selling 'selection packs' for you to try. I have always bought my pads from this bloke. When I did some work with epoxy I needed really high grits so bought some selection packs as I didn't want to buy full sets. I use Granat and Granat Net. I only...

    I think I've screwed up - Help!

    I had one of these similar benchtop machines for a while, they are all the same with minor design differences (scheppach, titan, rutlands etc). I would expect they share the same very noisy motor. I never took it apart completely so I don't know what motor is in there, but I had expected that a...

    I think I've screwed up - Help!

    presumably could just replace the motor even if it is worst of the worst

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    Made an urn on request by my grandfather for my nan's ashes. He wanted to keep them in the box that the crematorium gave to him, hence the rather unusually large size! I did check a few times that he definitely wanted it to be that large but you can only ask so much! It actually isn't as...
