Quite a bit in the sale- loads of the screws and the bolts now out of stock. Have a few coming my way to restock

Looks like quarter sawn oak - sometimes called tiger oak due to the medullary rays

Looks like this site is firing a pop up to a less reputable site that’ll try and capture details via forms Quick view of the target in a reputation checker flags as suspicious https://www.brightcloud.com/tools/url-ip-lookup.php

I’d give BND abrasives a call https://bndabrasives.co.uk/ They can get hold of most things and where they make their own belts can make custom sizes of most of the abrasives they sell. They’re an official partner of SIA so am confident they’d be able to sort for you

there is still a Cheltenham craft festival https://www.craftfestival.co.uk/Cheltenham/ Though sounds as if run by different people

They should get inserted and tightened with a torque driver to a specific torque setting- so imagine a lot have been over tightened in the past for fear of losing a bit of carbide at full speed. They also last so long they stay in the head for potentially years without being undone with them...

If only you were closer - looks a great bench for someone

Arrived today - thanks @imageel really pleased with it

We all know that training people to drive cars solves all injuries and airbags/seatbelts etc are just unnecessary costs that could be avoided by driving safely. Don’t crash and you won’t get injured- simple Or perhaps not

Do you know any of the good brands to recommend?

The tension of the blade should be similar between blades of different widths- but a wider blade will take more force to tension it. M42 blades also typically have a higher operating tension range to typical carbon blades (20-25kpsi vs 15-20 kpsi) but without a gauge you’ll struggle to tell.

Great seeing the progress

Have you checked the screw has a clean flat mating surface? A bit of grit embedded in it etc would then indent the steel.

Doh nearly posted a wtb for some this morning - fate was not in my favour :D

Any left? If so yes please

Yes please - pm inbound

Nothing in the offcuts big enough but reckon I can cut a chunk off this piece and still use it for it’s intended purpose. If I saw it to 9mm ish thick that’ll give you room to thickness down. If you’re still in need send me a message with your address and I’ll saw it off and pop in the post.

Sorry didn’t see message let me go check if I have a piece to suit

Looks like you filled the eye well, good work

Guessing it’s a bit of boxwood 20mm wide by 6mm thick by 40mm high. I have some bigger pieces - but not clear if the OP needs it dimensioned for them
