    Advice Needed for CNC Machine - Laser vs Mill vs Drag Knife

    my £0.02 worth...... DIY is not the route to go. £1,500 will get you more physical things per £ but when you factor in your time you will quickly reach a comparable budget to an off the shelf solution. You need to work out what you want and if it is achievable within yours and your customers...

    Is this woodworm ?

    I'm not sure that's a Weevil, most likely woodworm beetle in my opinion (3mm would fit). I mostly see the wormholes as opposed to the beetles so I'm no expert but someone will be along shortly I expect.

    Tyzack 1”(25mm) bore spindle moulder

    To add to Trevanion's comments about an adjustable groover, I have that CMT tool in the 14-28mm set and the 20-39mm version. I also use top hats to reduce 1.25" blocks to my 30mm spindle with no issue. Both superb tools and worth the money. For what it's worth I get my CMT tooling from...

    Plastic Injection Moulding (?)

    They are generally available to business (registered via companies house). I assume based on the potential high costs that this is a business venture. Does that make sense?

    Plastic Injection Moulding (?)

    One thing to note if you look to develop a dedicated machine to make the parts is to speak to your local business support. They often have grants to invest in machinery especially if there is an innovative aspect to the project. The UK gov runs Innovate UK who will often be able to help...

    The Ash Project

    A few dead Ash around me and I live in the middle of a forest. Quite depressing really. I'm kind of prepared with a Logosol to make use of what I can but certainly don't have the experience to drop an Ash yet, I'm relying on my ex-forestry neighbour to do that - hear too many horror stories...

    Rasp set

    I would add that files are often overlooked when it comes to woodworking. I got hold of an Oberg cut file in recent months, a Bahco 1-106-10-1-0. This is the only file I have ever used which just doesn't clog and it produces a really nice finish to boot.

    Rights of way and planning permission

    Totally agree. Simply objecting to planning on every possible grounds to cease the application will achieve nothing and likely make it worse. Besides, planning approval may actually resolve the ongoing issue if it makes the land saleable to someone else. Reading between the lines it looks like...

    Rights of way and planning permission

    Doug71, be aware that access does not necessarily mean that they can develop that access, i.e. build a path / road. It just means they can can use it as right of way. Of course without knowing the wording this could be moot.

    Rights of way and planning permission

    I hear what you're saying HappyHacker in needing good advice but I think you also highlight how fraught that is in itself. I'd wager that you could ask five solicitors the same right of way query and get six different answers. I do agree that planning are not always helpful or indeed logical...

    Rights of way and planning permission

    The right of way should have some definition of what that right is and assuming it's in the relevant title deeds. It is unlikely this right of way will allow for this to be specified as main access to the proposed works. Essentially this all rests on what the right of way actually defines and...

    Parcel collection from Italy to UK

    If this was left in a hotel, ask them to sort it out. They will be used to this and it's something they will do on a regular basis.

    Fence for Drill Press

    The L refers to light weight and the difference is less material on the inside of the extrusion. For a fence L is fine. The 2N refers to how many (and often where) the tracks within the exterior of the extrusion is plain aluminium, i.e. blocked off for want of a better description. 40x80L...

    Fence for Drill Press

    http://www.aluminium-profile.co.uk/ is a good source for alloy extrusion, delivery can be steep but I've used them for decades with no issues at all. Also given your location you may actually be close by to collect. They have a good understanding of why people buy the alloy and can often help...

    We bought a house to fill with hand made furniture

    I'm fairly sure it's the same one, I get confused on the borders between Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. The place I'm thinking off is also middle of nowhere down a single track. There is a small cluster of houses there which is how I know it, I recognise the glass frame. I know someone there...

    Interesting air nailer design

    Hi Airbow Systems, thanks for jumping in and confirming certain aspects. Are you able to confirm a UK price? I'm definitely interested in the product and will be keeping an eye on your site. Good to see this level of development and I wish you luck.

    Call them up to discuss lowering the premium telling them you have shopped around and want to give them an opportunity to keep your business - during which ask them if they have all the details they need to lower this quote slipping in any new purchases and your current environment.

    Ukelele build - anyone help with obtaining plans/advice etc?

    Thanks for the explanation, that makes total perfect sense. I did wonder about the grain direction given the whole block nature of a milled back and sides. I suspect you would need to leave the sides and the connection between them and the back quite thick because of this. As stated up there ^...
