    Triton TPT125 issue. Hitting sound.

    The bed on these, the bit directly under the cutter, is thin piece of sheet metal resting on the structure. If the wood passing over the bed has any unevenness, i.e. it hasn't been planed flat as it passes thru the machine the thin bed can lift/flex and then 'slap' back down. Worse with narrow...

    Ray Iles Inshave

    I'd hazard a guess that it happened sometime after/during the first industrial revolution. But before the industrialisation of furniture making. Large numbers of people moving into expanding towns and cities to work in the mills. The skilled makers couldn't meet the demand for chairs and other...

    Wood floors and draughts?

    Agree with the above as a solution given the situation, though clearly all the hard work put into restoring the floors is lost. A couple of alternatives to ponder are, firstly you could use some laminate floor silicone sealant to fill the gaps. It is available in a range of colours/shades and...

    Sharpening this tapered reamer

    Have a look at Curtis Buchannan's video quite brief and only that one side needs to be done as the other side just follows. Though you may also want to make one of the other reamers he shows which are easier to sharpen imo.

    10x6ft Workbench Design

    Perhaps a search for 'mobile' or 'modular workbench' may be useful something along these lines may be more useful as a workbench / storage unit in this situation. With part / most of it? of it as an mft top it could be used to help build out the rest of the space. You could use moisture...

The wood in your home will be <6% and much less in the warmer rooms, compare to the bought timber, store...

    Evolution R255ms 255mm mitre saw 2000w ? any good

    Have had the evolution r255 for about 3yrs. It's used everyday and has cut a lot of timber, mostly hardwood, with no issues. The bevel guide and positives stops for angles treat as a guide only, it can be set accurately just takes a little time and that's one of the differences between it and...

    Wanted Someone to set up my bandsaw SY S66

    From memory the non-oem tyres where blue urethane and thicker than oem. That made the blade difficult to fit and very hard to track. There was one point on the tilt mechanism where the blade would run with the teeth off the front edge on both wheels. Literally an 1/8th of a turn one way or the...

    Apples&Oranges: Laguna Fusion3 or iTECH 01332?

    'Struggle' is a wrong take, both would cut 70mm hardwood, just wouldn't want to personally cut 10 or 20 long lengths in a row on one. It causes less fatigue on you, using a more powerful saw, which is the point I was making and clearly should have said. The scheppach I've seen advertised at...

    Apples&Oranges: Laguna Fusion3 or iTECH 01332?

    you may find both a little underpowered, for 70mm rips you need grunt, particularly in hardwood or if you want to do many. Given the lack of s/h machines there another to consider is the scheppach precisa 6 without the extension tables etc.
