As you have the space the Record BM25 is man enough for most jobs. It comes with bushing to allow for all types of mortice chisel.. I spent months looking for a Sedgewick for c£400 it is a myth for single phase you will be lucky to get one now for £750. Hence I have the Record

Buy yourself one of the good American books and download the relevant part of the Building Regulations. Remember there is very little in the American books about building stairs with stringers they prefer open strings but there is enough to learn. You need to know the building regs as there are...

Personally on a planer I prefer to use neither push block nor push stick. Anything shorter than a foot either plane by hand, do not use it or remake it out of something longer and cut it down afterwards. As for the guard it should be capable of sliding fully over the blade at a height where...

Eventually you come to the conclusion that you need 3 blade 1. a Rip blade for those big rip jobs 2. a fine or superfine for cutting sheet materials and precise cross cutting 3. a combination blade for all other work

I have the Unika jig it is ok but you have to follow the instructions carefully. It comes with its own base plate and guides. you need to select the correct combination. I got the Axminster router cutters to go with it. If you are doing lots of stairs it is worth getting a jig. For one off...

I have made windows with it. It is quite soft but machines well. I understand the end grain does not paint well.

Surely you should buy the tools you need or will need rather than amassing an army of tools. So if you told us what you make or intend to make we could advise if either Kapex or Domino are needed.

If you want the Record BS400 go to their website and find which shows they are attending and then go along and make them an offer I heard they will discount to £800 at a show but I have nothing to demonstrate that number.

If it also sharpened the pencil- that would be brilliant

It would be worth emailing or ringing Ian, every time I have communicated with him he has given excellent advice even if it meant him selling less or a cheaper blade.

Bob I think it depends what you are doing. I fitted a 3/8ths at Xmas and the rip cut is excellent however it is thicker than a normal blade so if you have tight curves to cut it struggles more than I expected. My view so far is that if I were doing lots of ripping it probably makes sense to...

Have you tried chamfering the dowel to get it started and then see if it will work?

I think they still run wood turning courses at Jaymac "The Toolshop" on London Road near Wicks. You will find Jaymac has a good range of woodworking tools. Also look for night classes at one of the local colleges Also Reg Slack is on the Ashbourne Road half way to Ashbourne he does turning courses

36 years ago I was taught to set the blade no higher than with the gullet just clearing the material being cut. I understand this is still HSE advice. Standing in a direct line of fire is for Darwins. I was lucky as an apprentice when the push stick hit the blade. It sent me flying but I...

The painted ones can be MDF if you continue with t&g boarding pre finish the t&g boards including the tongue before you put it together then if the boards shrink you do not have light stripes.

the above steps are correct but take it a step at a time for now. 1 Sharpen the blade properly so it is as sharp as you can get it. 2. reduce the cut to as thin a shaving as you can Once you have done these it will probably cure the problem. If it does not 3. adjust the chip breaker closer to...

As others have said the wood was not dry enough. However even with properly kiln dried wood you need to design so that the wood can move as it will and nothing will stop it. A large panel of pine glued up from several pieces will split unless it can move freely. The alternative is to make the...

They will probably still be there now. I would not go as far as completely vibration free but it should not be at a level that make the machine unusable
