    Should I buy an 8mm collet for my existing 8mm bits, or just rebuy bits to fit my new router

    I've not watched the YT again but what he was really saying was just stick to 1/4 or 1/2 inch cutters - although he did mention a 1/8 collect adaptor for very fine engraving work. His comments were probably also coloured by the range of cutters that Axminster sells . . . about 290 1/4 and 1/2...

    Should I buy an 8mm collet for my existing 8mm bits, or just rebuy bits to fit my new router

    I'd just get new router cutters - having a "minority size" will always be a nuisance (there are also 6mm & 1/4" which is 6.3mm cutters - equally annoying!) IIRC on the Axminster YT on routers last week Craig said that 8mm was pretty much dead as cutters go.

    Soft Start for noisy table saw?

    Have a look at Casual DIY on YouTube - Tomaz fitted just that thing to his Rage5s a week or two ago [He's a Polish chap that used to live in the UK and moved back to Poland earlier this year - perfect English!]

    More likely 12mm if it's shuttering ply?

    Shuttering Ply v OSB

    I'd go for the ply - my bike shed is ply with some felt and has been just fine for years.

    For Sale Band saws and lathe-all gone.

    Really pleased with the B&D bandsaw I picked up yesterday from this charming gentleman. He was worried that he'd found that the switch needed sorting out . . . I've done that today and actually cut some wood with it (y) The other bandsaw looked like a very useful little machine (I was...

    Sharpening tracksaw blades

    I think the blades have gone the way of handsaws - chuck them away, new is waaaay cheaper than sharpening. Sad but true.

    Making small circles

    That would be my suggestion - and having made some circles as feet for an outdoor table they were better if I drilled from one side of the wood until the pilot drill appeared the other side and then turned the wood over to complete the drilling from the other side (using a drill press) The...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    Don't want to pull the rug from under this supplier - but about £15 for the engraved stamp from China, in about a week or so - I made my own "iron" from a bit of 8mm studding and an old file handle (but I have subsequently bought an electric iron which gives greater heat consistency - again...

    Cordless lawnmowers, anyone had one?

    We bought a MOUNTFIELD Princess 34Li Freedom Cordless Lawn Mower for our about 250m3 lawn - superb, battery lasts for 2 cuts+ - I expected to buy a second battery but haven't bothered. Charging is fast. Purchased from a main Mountfield dealer, Garden Machinery Direct in Worcester - ordered at...

    Question about bike brakes

    If you're at Moreton-in-Marsh you could go into Cotswold Cycles (in the estate oposite the Fire Service College entrance) for some advice (not really their bag but the mechanic is/was a helpful chap - OR call in at the Cyclcists fighting Cancer shop on the A3400 at Alderminster as they refurbish...

    Baltic birch plywood for furniture in Midlands.

    I've bought some from Davies Timber at Wythall (S Birmingham) Davies Timber - but the best stuff I've bought/seen is from Cutlist near High Wycombe, not (quite!) the Midlands but worth a look (they do precision cutting and delivery) CutList | Sheet materials Cut & Edged, Spray Prime/Lacquer...

    Lino printing press

    How big are the images (i.e. piece of lino) that you expect to be used? About 50 years ago I worked in the printing industry and we used to print the odd poster or artwork graphic from lino-cuts up to about 20" x 30"- the lino was mounted on a board (at "type-high .918") for a conventional...
