Should have said I'm in Middlands, NN11 area. Cheers

For sale, woodworking WoodRat. I bought it second hand, wanted to use it, but never found a space on a wall for it, so I never tried it. Realising now that my small garage will never give me the chance to play with it, I'm planning to part ways with it. Things WoodRat related on pics are...

If I was in your spot, I would get a large sheet of thick floating glass, glued some sandpaper to it, and skimmed the surface of the fence, until it's flat. I have recently used this technique to flatten an outfeed bed of my Axminster joiner/thicknesser. It was 0.15mm cupped, and this worked a...

I can't comment on those two, I have the cheaper axminster extractor AW118CE, which serves me well. Only using it for my jointer thicknesser. The cyclone works well, barely any dust in the bag under the filter. The only thing I was unhappy about was the bag under the cyclone, which I've replace...

Best of luck mate with what you trying to do. If I was in your shoes, trying to find a such shop, I'd try to do the same google searches similar to what their customer would do. You shoudl get a number of results. Write down all the shops near you and then do your research for details. Size of...

So today was the day when I went calibrating, and with the above highlighted screws, it went pretty well, and my cheap dial indicator (mounted to a wooden block) was showing me zero misalignment by the time I was done with it. So I went from 0.4mm down to somewhere under 0.01mm. Tested on a wide...

Just found that Axmister left me a nice surprice in a form of two deep scratches in my thicknessing table. Thanks a lot you guys! 🤬

They did. I wrote them more then once. I called them more then once. The message I got back was clear - we tested it on a board of red wood. It's under 0.2mm and that makes it OK. The board arrived with the machine, and I meassured it. And sure enough, around 0.2mm across the width. The board...

Got it back today, not had a chance to unpack and toy with. One month turn-around, give or take.

Still waiting to get it back. It's annoying, as I use it quite a bit, and my projects have been on hold for a number of weeks. Especially annoying considering I would be better of not sending it anywhere, and ask here what's the best way to adjust it. Hey ho... Can't do much but wait. Possibly...

Absolutely agree. I'm aware my machine will never be as rigid and stable as some of the old heavy machines that were made to last under heavy duty. But at the same time, I think it can be fine-tuned to be well under 0.1mm. I'm not moving my machine around the shop, for the same reason as...

Thank you all, much appreciated feedback. I've sent queries to multiple companies, let's see what will come back.

I was just talking to my home insurance, and they would only cover up to £2.5K on the contents cover as part of the house insurance. That would not cover everything in there... Anyone else found some suitable cover?

Just thought I would leave it here. The feedback from Axminster. "Good morning Mr XXX, As you know we have had your Axminster Trade AT260SPT/AT107PT Spiral Planer Thicknesser in our workshops for inspection at your request. We are pleased to let you know that your machine has been thoroughly...

Thank you all, much appreciated feedback. I will see what will axminster do. At this point, they will either - Adjust my machine in the shop and send it back - Continue saying it's fine and send it back - Send a replacement. At this point I'm OK with either. Knowing (or thinking) about the...

Hi all, I've got my jointer/thicknesser in Axminster service. It's the spiral head model with 260mm width of cut. I found out that over the width of the thicknessing, it's off by 0.5mm. Cutter head not parallel to the table, and non-adjustable (or at least not meant to be by a customer). In my...

Sound advice I've heard before, but sort of defeats the object of owning the meter in the first place, doesn't it. No one got the asnwer? :unsure:

Good point, however the meter I have should take that into account, as it has a temp probe - question mark..? Hm...

Good day you all! Just seeking advice / confirmation that I'm doing it right. And if not, what am I doing wrong, please. I got myself one of those Wagner Orion 950 moisture meters, to get some science behing the wood readiness. So I've got a chunk of wallnut I want to use in a hall. Entered...

Catia V5 user here, but I would not recommend it. I only use it because I know it well. I hear Fusion 360 is good..? As for cutlist, I can only "chip in" with this link
