I have a feeling that while work is being done in that respect,it may have limited value.Would you fancy being in the vicinity of so much radiated power if you had a pacemaker?

I admit to not watching the video that the appalling still comes from.That design of push stick has clearly originated from the "land of the free"-as in free to ignore sensible safety levels.If you will follow the path of removing crown guards there is a pretty good chance that at some point you...

They might need to be encouraged.Building enough generating capacity might be a useful start.

I suspect that if BYD had the production capacity,they could wipe out several of the established car makers.They are selling their cars for a lot less outside Europe and are probably making lot of money on those they sell within Europe.There are several other Chinese companies that don't have...

Those who have been with this thread since its inception will understand why I feel a bit vindicated.If anybody is contemplating self build this may be of interest: SFU1605 BallScrew with Motor Mount Bracket +BK/BF12 End Support +Ballnut Housing | eBay

Mortise gauges have been a round for a very long time and for good reasons,but if you don't own one it isn't the end of the world.You can take a step out of the process if you own a bench drill,as with a block of wood cramped to the table,you have the basis of a mortiser and just need to clean...

Not exactly,what I'm saying is that if you buy a generic setting jig it will be necessary to verify it's parameters with the machine set up correctly.Once it has been compensated to your specific machine it should be fine and for the avoidance of doubt the outfeed table should be set to zero...

I've used the setting jigs that Wadkin supplied with a couple of machines and they made the job very simple.Buying a jig and hoping the geometry is right for your own unspecified machine is quite optimistic.I don't see that using a set of worn knives to establish the correct location will have...

I may be a bit cynical about the origin of most router cutters because I don't believe most of the people that sell them have the equipment on their premises to grind shaped cutters or to attach a tungsten carbide tip.I do suspect that they are quite capable of opening a pack of cutters that...

For my hobby machine I buy the cheapest carbide cutters I find on ebay and they work,its no disaster if they break either.For building a machine,there is no way I would consider small section extrusions,I'd rather buy steel box sections and bolt them together.As it was,I used MDF box sections...

I think we all agree that the straight portions of the project will be feasible.How about having the corners machined to shape on a CNC router and then find a talented polisher to apply stain and graining to match the rest?

Is there anybody within the group with sufficient experience of CAD and CAM to give informal guidance?A couple of evenings of looking over somebody's shoulder could cover some useful basics and watching a simulation could be helpful.

It comes as a surprise to some woodworkers that you can use the same sort of vacuum bag that is quite normal in composite work and they don't cost much since they are disposable.I have used damp proof membrane myself with great success.All you need is the pump and a tube,plus some release film...

I can't see the attachment either.In essence you can veneer a developable shape,which is a shape that has basically been derived from conic sections.For a compound curved shape,for instance an enlarged rugby ball,you can only do it using strips as the periphery at the ends will be a different...

Lots of information about them out there,they are popular for installation in camper vans and there are lots of youtube videos showing their installation.I've heard computer power supplies that make more noise,although I have only heard a couple in use-just a bit of a background whooshing sound.

The same way as any other bandsaw basically.I have an 18-S-5 which may be quite similar and I have used an 18-T-10,which seem to share the same frame and general layout.They are good machines.With the machine isolated from the power supply you can investigate in depth.Does the blade appear to...

At least we now know what those paranoid enough to tape over the webcam on their laptop get up to.... There are some valuable warnings in this thread and hopefully it will encourage greater care in our collective online dealings.

Are we dealing with acid catalysed or 2K?Either will give a very durable finish and be much more resistant to spillage than the more traditional finishes.As an experienced user you will understand the importance of good extraction.

I agree completely with the previous post and would add one further point,if/when something does go wrong you won't be faced with the considerable cost of calling out a service engineer.If no warranty applies you can expect to pay a hefty hourly rate from the moment the engineer leaves the...

I suppose the usage of the makerspace has a large effect on the type of machine to look for.If the users are trying to earn a living,the machines listed are a step in the right direction compared to marking out and cutting by hand.They aren't hugely productive machines when compared to the...
