Well done! You say "this is a result of newer building regs". So what you did was required or you went beyond the minimum spec?

Compared to what? Poor quality older housing stock presumably? Well, while that may be true, there is no doubt that house builders could do a lot more to improve energy efficiency of new builds. Passive house standards are probably too much to aim for, but the regs should set much higher...

Agreed!

Yep, he does great stuff!

Just finished watching this boat build series. Funny guy and a pretty damn nice boat. One day I'd like to have a go. Could do with a massive workshop though. And a little foreman to keep me in line :p

I bought the original INCRA (metric) jig from WoodWorkers Workshop recently. You can make your own custom fence to go with it or buy the compatible INCRA fence. Together they cost about £135. Seems like a great system, though I'm still learning how to use it. It's probably worth buying the INCRA...

H Hi Miles Thanks for the info. Are there any issues with Stellite tips (compared to TCT)? I understand Stellite is a less brittle material but does it dull faster? The ResawKing blades are considered amongst the best resaw blades right? Particularly for smaller machines because of the thin...

Yeah me to Tom. Probably will continue to get the M42 blades from Tuffsaws. Only issue for me is that they don't deliver outside the UK anymore, so will need to either collect them when back in the UK or have family post them out here which adds quite a bit to the order. That's why I was...

Thanks for this!

Bandsaegenprofis - the German manufacturer of the carbide-toothed blades I mentioned above - also do M42 blades. But when I enquired they said that they weren't suitable for use with wood. They said "they blacken the wood and burn it. These belts run through water at a different speed and...

I have this mounted on a reinforced bin connected to an Numatic NVD750 and I've been happy with it. Solid, no frills. Upgrading my indoor dust collection to a double filtration cyclone unit for use with the larger machines (planer, bandsaw). But the Axi cyclone will live permanently in my...

Hi Droogs and thanks for the welcome. Posting a packet/parcel from metropolitan France to Guyane is definitely more expensive than posting within departments on the mainland. Not sure if there are prefential rates or whether it is as expensive as say posting from France to Brazil or Suriname...

Forgot to mention that email exchange with Bandsaegenprofis is best done in German but I've found that using the excellent online translator Deepl works a treat. They respond quickly and I didn't have any issues placing the order.

Hi all New to the forum and a new bandsaw user as well. I live in French Guiana, one of France's overseas territories. Because I work exclusively with local tropical hardwoods, I have been advised to use carbide-tipped or M42 blades on my bandsaw because of their durability relative to standard...
