I would draw a circle a couple of mm larger than the disk and use an area clearance toolpath to machine the disk Depending on the software you have you may have an option to take liner passes along X or you may have an option for a spiral tool path starting on the outside and working into the...

Wow nice table very impressive I use Carveco Maker, I come from an autocad background and managed to get a subscription deal on maker. It does have its niggles, I have tried demo versions of most of what's out there and I will most likely change in the future, but its finding a gap in the...

Wait for it to dry it will raise the grain, then sand

Looks good. I would sand to 240 spray with water to raise the grain sand 240 again dust off with a vacuum and apply 3 or 4 coats of danish oil very thinly and leave 24 hours between each coat, you could then add a light coat of beeswax and buff up.

I have a Onefinity Woodworker its around 3 years old and has to earn its living in my small production shop. Some days its runs for around 9 hours, I have just invested in an Airweights vacuum table to cut down on consumables and reduce set up times. Drop me a PM with any questions and the door...

If you have the hole started and are prepared to sacrifice your auger bit grind off the screw point spur or blunt the screw thread You will then have to push the auger rather than it dragging its self in If the hole isn't started then drill a pilot hole with a 6mm jobbers drill, blunt the screw...

I have a Bosch with the same size blade, I only buy Freud Blades for that and all my other saws, I always have mine sharpened by my local sharpener before use, they seem to cut a lot better, The only exception is for a an 8" sliding mitre saw I use cheap trend blades if I am doing a job with...

I converted my brick external clinker block internal built garage into a wood working shop around 4 years ago. We are located on a modern house estate. After much research including YouTube reading many articles and balancing cost and ease of fitment I battened out the inside with 3 x 2...

I have this week gone through a nightmare with UPS Parcel was due from USA, they rang 3 times when it landed asking for payment, I could not understand the caller accent and volume and asked them to call back with another operator or email. Cutting a very long story short despite 12+ emails and...

I strip mine off around every 3 months soak them and the screws in cutter cleaner and put them back on using a torque screwdriver Any that are chipped get rotated and putting them back on randomly evens up and wear issues I buy mine from a engineering wholesaler's vastly cheaper than any wood...

I turn a fair few light pulls so may be interested in some a bit larger than pen blanks. What species have you got?

The charges often depend on the items or rather the items stated on the paperwork. It has got harder since Brexit, prior to that we used to bring stuff in from Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, USA & Canada Experience shows that components rather than actual consumer items tend to attract less...

Try Davis Timber Wythall Great service and usually good on price

Hi Certainly a job I could do on my CNC What size Ytong/ACC blocks have you got in mind? I think shipping costs may turn the job into a non starter from the UK but happy to discuss further D

I tend to use saw tooth for end grain and wave for side grain There is a big difference in quality depending on price, from experience the cheap ones are ok in soft wood but as soon as you are heading for hard wood then you will need to spend the cash I also tend to shorten the point on them a...
