Not as big but I always look at this which is up the road from me - it has been up for sale for ages and it looks very solid, an american imported bandsaw for metalwork made by Grob Brothers. Was converted to 240v at some point in its life. Just looks a nice machine. It's been up for £400 for...

I recently did some hardwood edging on some 25mm Oak veneered MDF. Appreciate it isn't ply, but the process will be the same (Although I would think the edges of ply might not like being glued as much, however this isnt something where a lot of structural strength is really required. If you are...

Couple near me further along the coast https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/817947819394600/ https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/994977044823685/ Have a look at your FB marketplace for 'bench rent' or similar, theres a few up there advertising. I think there is moderate turnover of...

I think this applies to almost everything to do with working with tools and machines that we discuss on this forum as well doesnt it - it can hurt and kill you if you get it wrong? I asked the question to try and learn more about if/how contactors are used in these circumstances.

Makes sense, I assumed there was a good reason why this wouldnt work but didnt realise what it was - thanks! In the end I have gone with one of the KEMO M103N master/slave control modules. It is rated for 16A, but that is shared across both the master(Machine) and slave(extractor) circuits. The...

I'm re-doing my dust extraction set up. I won't be doing it like described below, but I am posing a theoretical question to help me understand. I'm trying to work out, if I set up a contactor such as the one below in-line with my tool, will it work to switch when the tool is in use.i.e cut the...

Also Brooks Bros in Maldon is good albeit expensive. https://brookstimber.com/

I intend to keep the HPLV dust extractor as well. The new clarke style one will be just for the P/T which I don't expect to produce much in the way of fine dust so hopefully it wont kill me.

I have the opportunity to buy one of these rather compact extractor units at a reasonable cost. I am thinking of buying it to improve the extraction for my planer and trying to build it into the cabinet I will make for my planer to sit on. I really don't have much room so it might be that once...

I couldn't believe just how effective a warm ultrasonic cleaner bath is for both dirt and rust. put all sorts in there with some degreasing solution and cleaned them up incredibly well. For rusty parts put them in there with some 'Restore Rust Remover' solution and within about 20 minutes it...

I used to live in chelmsford and I have been to the hardwood offcut store a couple of times. worth a trip

I think the 1100 is accounting for the bag

It’s 50cm x 40cm x 40cm?

I was quite surprised to get it on a 40cm 2x4 that was all. almost no weight to a piece that size that i could support. I will keep on playing...

Look at these right near you: A Kity 635 going for £155 on ebay 40 miles from you A chip extractor for £110 (which you could probably negotiate to £90 or maybe cheaper)- won't take up much room and you will be able to use it for all sorts of tools and machines as and when you get them, plus...

Just gone up on facebook looks in good condition https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/718597629994865/

I have to say I really agree with what Terry has just said. I think that you have been given a lot of excellent advice in this thread, but the advice is all 'idealist'. I run a small planer thicknesser using a shop vac as the extractor, via a 50mm hose. It isn't perfect, but it's perfectly...

Not too far from you Log into Facebook And you would be able to get it down stairs with some help

This looks a good buy! https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/hc-260-planer-thicknesser.141238/#post-1644939
