I have had a set of these for years and use them a fair bit All of the drills and driver bits have been replaced many time but the main components have held up well, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Trend-Snappy-Flip-Over-Driver/dp/B000Y8VFH0 They were cheaper at my local fixings supplier Hope this...

I run a small woodworking business using bot a cnc and a laser based in the midlands Happy to help and share the pitfalls and pluses Where you based?

I could happily look at making them on my CNC, but like Bingy Man I am having a bit of a visual block (I think its the bright sun light and being in the middle of making 50 oak signs Drop me a PM if you are interested Cheers

An accurate cutting list is key Talk to the supplier to get an idea of the sizes available including lengths Break down the item you are making into its component parts, I have used graph paper in the past to visualise how I will lay my planks out A slightly different example is how i build...

I debated long and hard before making the leap and went for the Dewalt cordless multispeed Why I waited so long is a mystery Use it a lot for sanding and also removing glue when doing chopping board glue ups Brought mine bare as was already on the platform, I would replace like for like if I...

I made one around 15 years ago using KREG as it was pretty much the only thing available at the time, I brought it from Axminster way before the started their UKJ range made from plywood that by now must have had 10 coats of poly sealer Its still going strong and is on its 4th mitre saw its has...

A blue set of wrenches would go much better with the carpet:ROFLMAO:

I have a Triton version, have had for around 3 years and its gets a heck of a lot of use in my production shop. Buy good belts as cheaper ones wont track and you feel the join, my main belt choice is Klingspore 150G most of the things i edge sand are only around 10mm thick I usually rip off...

I often use a piece of 20mm plastic electrical conduit black or white, cut to length and slight chamfer with some sand paper These are really useful on my cnc which has a grid of dog holes, it means that if you get a tool path wrong you usually dont break a cutter or carve into an expensive dog...

An electrician is not permitted to sign off other peoples work. I am a qualified instillation engineer all be it a long time ago. 3 years ago I constructed my wood working workshop. In order to keep costs down i wanted to do the electrical work myself, I contacted around 7 local electricians...

At times this forum throws up threads that have to be read to be believed, statements like 'all tested for continuity' 'safe to my knowledge' 'permanent live feed from fridge freezer socket' 'know about this quirk' 'So in my head it all seems relatively sound if slightly junky.' 'I should add...

What software do you use to produce your laser design on? If you use lightburn there is a facility within it to create a test burn file Try not to get too hung up on a certain feed and speed for a certain wood as there is a lot of variables. We do a lot of commercial work with our laser...

The last box i purchased was from Axminster Tools but looking at their website it looks like they only do the solvent free version Quick search Titebond Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive - 6 Tubes

Yes that's the one its very similar to Gripfil or No Nails It has a good grab the last time I used it was to make a feature wall for a customer using laminate flooring to cover the wall and I completely built it in one go The solvent does smell but only last for around a day Its the only one...

I have done a couple of jobs with Titebond Construction adhesive comes in a standard cartridge Most places on line stock the solvent free version I haven't used that one I always go for the solvent version takes a bit of finding but its a great product

Have you got a target price in mind for the item? I often do small run jobs on my CNC for people at very competitive prices particularly during periods when my usual work is short, its better for the machine to be running and covering costs than sitting idle. The cheapest job are those where I...

I would suggest it would be a good job for a small CNC shop I make a similar project out of 12.5mm oak with 20mm holes bored through., using a roughing cut and finishing cut Most CNC's even low end should be able to hold a tolerance, but would agree with a previous post ref Loctite and...
