The problem with using smaller blades than the saw is designed for is the the peripheral speed. A 300mm blade at 3000rpm is 2828 m per minute. A 200mm blade is only 1885m per minute. You loose a 1000m per minute of cut. Also as the diameter is smaller there is more wood to cut through...

With a shop that size you need to consider the design carefully. It is not just about walls and insulation. You need to consider the roof load and wind load on the building and foundations. I would suggest that before you build anything that size you invest in some professional advice.

It is hard to see them being any other than a high end offering in a specialist area. Yes furniture makers using difficult grain will be thankful. It is far harder to see any benefit for the average joiners shop which means it is not worth the expense. Similarly in sales to the weekend...

You needed 18 lengths of 3x1 so another 13 needed Calculation is 10 per running meter (75mm +25mm gap = 100mm). 1000/100=10 x 21mx10 = 210 From a 4m length you can get 12 pieces 325 long So 210/ 12= 17.5 so 18 If the 3x1 is over size you will get away with 17. If undersized you might need 19 I...

Because the brilliance of the thing is that they are not random but incredibly accurate rows and columns. What is it worth to know that every column of holes is at a perfect right angle to any row. Three or Four dogs and a straight edge and off you go. No need to square up. Just think of...

My ducting is 6 inch diameter. Take time to design the duct route. You want the shortest straightest route. No Tees, no sharp 90s and no branches. Keep the duct as large a diameter as possible for as long as possible and remember a 100mm duct is not two thirds the size of a 150mm duct it is...

I do not own a track saw but own an MFT! I use it for routing dados, holding awkward shaped pieces that need working on and for the Domino machine

I am not sure why you cannot use the JET DC1100A. This is exactly what I have done. My ducting runs on the ceiling of my machine shop and then through a wall to an outside cupboard that holds my extractor. I took the fan and motor off my Jet DC1100A and fitted it high up with the fan in line...

Bob, what about this https://www.homegardencyprus.com/en/cat ... 50k-detail

John, they are excellent, both in setting out and execution. Keep it up.

Unless you have multiple machines running at once, 1 Jet DC1100 would be sufficient. I have one DC1100 extracting from a Felder 410 with 16" planer and thicknesser, 12" saw and a large spindle with no problems whatsoever. The DC1100 is a cyclone system so I am not sure why you needed to buy...

You could do it in plywood and then veneer it. You definitely need a good drawing. You also need to consider stability so maybe go flat at the bottom.

There are two methods shown on Page 156 of Modern Practical Joinery by George Ellis. You should be able to find the book on line.

Rorschach You are correct, sorry I missed you off. PM me and I will sort it

Gents (though I am not sure given what you intend doing to me) I now have 6 boxes ready to go they each weigh about 15KGs size approx 430x 320x300 If the first six want to pm me with their name and address I will send by return mine. You can then arrange a courier of your choice to collect from...

The other major factor when buying oak and waney edge in particular is the amount of waste. 20-30% of a good waney edge board is scrap. If you are unfortunate and get one that is split as well it can be 50%. Therefore if you need 4 cube for the project, ordinarily with square edged boards I...

Look on Scott & Sargeant's website

Last week I ordered some Kiln dried oak and paid £60 to £80 per cubic foot. I had quotes that ranged upto double this price. But it was the very best first quality in 3 and 2.5 inch thicknesses. I would say £35/40 is low but may be achievable for 1 inch oak if not top quality.

Nope Gouges have been in cannel and out cannel for centuries.

I can say that tenon saws are pretty useful saws for joinery. However your post raises the question that if you do not know what you will use it for do you actually need one?
