It looks as though the more recent DeWalts have the commonly used L section fence extrusion so narrow strips can be safely cut.Maybe they would be a retrofit option.

I regard a bench as no more than an essential tool and not an opportunity to show off my woodwork skill.If I spill paint on it or put down a piece of wood on a screw thats been left there and gain a scratch or gouge,it isn't a disaster.I do have a special disdain for those who pepper their bench...

Smoothing plane with the cap iron well back to leave the throat clear and crank the iron out to suit the shape.

Rather you than me!At the very least a fine hacksaw blade will do the job.ABS is a bit flexible and if the appearance is near enough I would go with it.Its less hazardous to health than real carbon and won't make you itch after cutting a piece.If it proves to be too weak after a spell of use,you...

That link leads to carbon effect ABS.So the conductivity aspect does not apply and there are no fibres to cause respiratory problems.Even better,the stuff won't have much effect on your cutting edges.If you are happy with a jigsaw cut edge my choice would be a fine metal cutting blade Say a...

As has been said,carbon is conductive,although being part of a resin/fibre matrix with a resin that doesn't conduct does reduce the risks a bit,you really do need some extraction.A good workshop hoover will be adequate and a dust mask is sensible.Actually cutting the carbon isn't difficult but...

I have to admit that the evolution of this site has made me visit a lot less often.Since the revised visuals I might have looked in half a dozen times-it used to be three or four times a day.To introduce a new section for "Fine" standards will probably alienate or intimidate a fair few people.My...

There is a huge selection of good,free CAD software out there.At the basic end there is Qcad,which has morphed into LibreCAD (part of the very useful Libre Office suite).A little more ambitious is Draft Sight and it is enormously capable,in my view at least as good as AutocadLT and you may find...

Cycling may be cleaner than it once was-thing is the damage has been done to the image of the sport over several years.I really don't care any more as I have given up watching.

I only have a little experience of DAB and then it varied according to location-doesn't pay to be in a dip.As for the H&S mob deciding site radios are bad for us,thats a new one for me.The usual objection I have found in a workplace is that the PRS parasites insist that a licence has to be...

If its the very small Bosch I have a little knowledge of you need to be a bit careful or you can damage the spindle lock.As mentioned earlier a squirt of penetrating oil will probably help and give it lots of time.If a few sharp taps on the collet nut are not enough to dislodge the cutter the...

Mine is quite a bit like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Waterproof-I ... 0706.m4781 .Not the precise model,but there are several to choose from with various lengths of cable and water resistance.

I bought one a few weeks ago and while I haven't had to use it yet,the image was ok when connected to a netbook.That is connected by a cable-the thread refers to wireless endoscopes and I have no idea how they might work without a wire.

I will be watching with some interest for updates in the coming weeks.I think you ought to leave the gents saw just as it is as it will find one or two situations that allow it's limited height to access a small space.A gents saw is my most used saw and it gets a light sharpening when needed;I...

I did like to know half an hour ago.Logged in and ordered a replacement for my compact digital camera,activated the discount code and selected a click and collect location.By adding this parameter it decided I had already used my discount and moved the price back to list.Shopping basket amended...

You will need to make one and it will inevitably be curved in at least one direction.Find a good ash board big enough to make at least a couple and see what type suits you.Every user has preferences and some things depend on the height of the user and their body proportions.As a starting point...

This thread has become amusing.I haven't seen anybody that earns a living by woodworking using a shooting board since the seventies-not saying they don't exist,just wondering why they might do it.In the same time frame I have seen hundreds of people using disc sanders and almost all have...

Sincere sympathy for your tragic loss.

I don't know too much about the tracking mechanism,but I do know that Wolf were very high quality tools.Have you checked the bearings for play?I would guess that wear in the system is at the root of the problem.

I currently have an 8 inch disc and its ok for the model making I use it for.I have used discs up to 36 inches and will always prefer them to any form of belt sander.The key advantage in my eyes is that the sanding action is universal across the working area and my limited experience of belts is...
