    Apple AirTags Used To Find Stolen Tools?

    It would depend how accurate they are I know some of the mobile triangulations can be 100`s of meters out - would need to be pinpoint accurate for the police to get a warrant for entry and seizure.

    3/16 blade on a RP Bs300e.

    I am surprised they quote a minimum size, the issues usually arise on the wider blades where the machine is unable to tension them enough. I cant see an issue as long as the guides and bearings can be adjusted sufficiently.

    Advice on routing letters

    I use the Rutland set up a lot and is really easy and accurate, I also have a cnc cut alphabet and numbers jig, again easy and accurate. It may be worth getting someone with a CNC to quote you for a bespoke stencil alphabet at what ever size you require. You could always sell it after and recoup...

    Coronet Herald and Tools advice

    Go for second hand Sorby tools, if you buy a set there will always be one or two you don't need initially. Start of with the basics a roughing gouge (19mm) 3/8 bowl and spindle gouge and a parting tool, these will cover most jobs initially. Save getting a skew until you have some experience as...

    Orientation for fine air filter

    I have my Rutlands version in the joists with the main filter pointing towards the center of the shop - I figured it would give the best average filtration of the whole area. Alternatively move it to point in the direction of the area you work in. I always point the suction end towards the cause...

    Mitre saw

    I picked up a Evolution 3 sliding saw, and I have to admit that after a bit of fettling it is pretty dam accurate, always worth fitting a quality blade rather that the general purpose multi material one supplied. They can be had very cheap second hand and was quite a surprise to me as to how...

    Anyone fitted a below table dust box to router table?

    Anyone fitted a below table dust box to router table? I have a rutlands router table and have seen some people fit a dust box with extraction enclosing the router to aid dust removal. Are they effective and are there any inherant problems like over heating access etc. Was thinking of the below...

    NVR or Foot switch on router table

    Well initially I have gone for a standard NVR with trailing lead, the thought being I can put something more permanent in the future and use the switch again on something else. I like the idea of a DOL but wouldn't know where to sart.

    Help with chuck choice please.

    Yes but with additional jaw carriers you can pick up jaws from Fleabay etc fairly cheap, and you don't need a huge selection standard C jaws will cover a lot of mounting, the O'Donnell jaws are good, and you can make your own custom jaws.

    Asbestos disposal

    Had the first contractor contact me he is going to pop over and quote, he like other have said it is every where albeit often the white asbestos that we have which is less problematic that the brown. Certainly having a licensed company do it for me. Having googled and read up on it i never...

    Table saw safety

    I can see no reason why you couldn't remove a small amount from the riving knife. I have seen several that have been shortened so rebates can be cut without removing the knife completely, but as with all things safety first. Oh and on my Sheppach 4020 I have the same issue with the blade...

    Is this too big for my lathe?

    Look up Lyle Jamieson on you tube he shows a method of starting with any blank between centres and balanced, he never uses a chuck and is a great demonstrator. I have used his method several times and it really does work on out of balance blanks, I use a VB36 so size is not an issues but i feel...
