If I were in your situation I would purchase a second hand table off of facebook marketplace/ebay etc. You arent going to understand what you want from a router table until you have used one for a little while, so if you buy a cheap used one to have a go, you will then learn how to use it and...

Yes I would do as you have said. I would make the mortise a tight fit as far as it's width is concerned, but for the height you would allow maybe 10mm at either end (which is probably seriously overkill) to allow for expansion and contraction. So you might make the mortise 110mm long but the...

Green oak will be cheapest but will shrink and move more than the others. If they are going for a rustic look then it would be appropriate. Air dried will be closer to the normal 'outdoors' moisture levels maybe 14% as it has been left to dry outdoors. Regardless it will still move with the...

Like you, I cannot be dealing with 100 different sizes of dust port. I convert all my tools to two sizes, I have a small (I think it's 38mm OD), and a large (100mm). i.e tracksaw, router, sanders, chop saw. Any machine that is in the 20-50mm size I permanently leave on an adapter which fits my...

It looks great and I like the dials to determine the spacing. What is the advantage that you see from cutting on the side away from the fence rather than setting the desired thickness as the gap between the blade and the fence, then cutting the desired piece on the fence side like you usually...

I really like using the rustins stuff. The satin and the gloss you can get in screwfix but they don't do the matt. Amazon do though: https://www.amazon.co.uk/RUSTINS-Quick-Varnish-Clear-Matt/dp/B003UGRLBW

I forgot to attach the photos

Hi, Thanks for your reply! Black knob? I dont think I have that on my one, I have attached a photo of the thing assembled. Fundamentally it does look the same as yours, but if you look at the shape of the nozzle it appears different. I wonder whether the ones you are talking about...

Hi, there doesn't appear to be anything on your message,

Hello, I own an Apollo 1500-3 turbine which has been absolutely great. The gun isn't the apollo one, and the gun I have has a nozzle with is a 1.5mm tip, however I would like to be able to fit a larger nozzle occasionally for primers and slightly thicker paints etc. I don't know the details...

Is there a problem with your plastic gear? I think my machine is from 1986 and the plastic gear on it is fine. I believe mine is made from nylon which I believe you can 3D print on some machines if needed. I wouldn’t choose to change it though unless there was a good reason to. As you say...

Think this is what you are after: https://manualsnet.com/kity/planing-machine/instructions-for-maintenance-and-use/kity-10-0638-3300639902-planing-machine-instructions-for-maintenance-and-use I did rebuild a 636 not too long ago so if you get stuck feel free to reach out and I will try to...

I'm surprised the protextion pad was the issue. I run my ETS and Rotex with protection pads and never noticed any difference when I put them on v beforehand.

It took me a good year to get used to my rotex. The ETS is much less of a beast to use, I only have the 125/3 and that behaves quite well. I find with all the festool sanders what works best for me is holding them at the dust collection port and then using the other hand on the palm grip of the...

I have to dissapoint you terribly by reporting that the reason the bits of copper are separated how they are is that I was prying with a screwdriver to see how bad the corrosion underneath had penetrated. Nothing got damaged when it stopped working, I just went up to the shed one day and the...

Is the skewed block a design feature or not?

I know it doesn't help decide between your two options, but I absolutely love my TS55 which I purchased second-hand for about £150. Whatever you choose, make sure you check what track profiles it is compatiable with. For my Festool I can use the cheaper Makita tracks.

I've also just noticed that one of the legs of the component appears to have fully disintergrated (photos after I had a gentle poke at a highly corroded area.

It's a 40w unit, photos of board attached too. The component is on the input side of the PCB which was a point you raised earlier about it's purpose.

I'm fairly close to you, not far from lewes. Having reviewed all 2400 of the chokes on farnell :ROFLMAO:, I think that what I have might be this: https://uk.farnell.com/multicomp-pro/mpl2d-10-203/common-mode-choke-1a-20mh/dp/4264632 @Sideways I am going to measure my one and compare it with...
