My question relates to the effectiveness of finishers following treating wood with a pest control substance. Say one has treated the wood with a pest control substance, like Cuprinol, can you then apply a finish like a varnish or an oil without worries of the finish not taking or coming off or...

Hi are the hold fasts still available. If so can you confirm what they are and what size hole is needed pls. Cheers

Many thanks for everyone's help. Happy Christmas

Thanks for the comments. Maybe a silly question but are there any disadvantages joining a US magazine subscription (electronic version) and what do you get for your money?

I've had the Camvac 386 twin motor (2kw 63mm outlet) for many years and its been an excellent bit of kit. I use it with routers, radial arm saw and sanding equipment. It has three stage filtering and to keep noise low it has special hoses connected to the exhaust ports - all great for my...

Hi. I recall that someone posted an article saying that members can get free access to electronic back issues of Fine Woodworking magazine . Sorry I can't find the article. Does anyone know where I can get the link to the article or confirm the details please? Many thanks

Hi Dave. The subject of dust control is endless and I'm sure you will get a few replies. It's normal to have a large diameter hose/pipe connection to the main cabinet (4/5/6 inch) and then a reduced size connection to the blade area (3/2.5/1.5 inches). Their sizes are normally recommended by...

Hi Jonathon. I have the US arbour and bearings. When you fitted yours, you say you removed the blade pulley - do you mean the arbour pulley? Which direction did you remove the arbour by tapping out? Did the arbour come out leaving the bearings in place? Did you do this job with the motor...

Hi Richard. Just reading your comment about that you changed the arbour to the US spec. I bought my saw second hand and it came with a genuine Jet extended arbour to take dado etc. What did you have to do to the machine to replace the arbour? Can you do it without taking out the machine...

Guys. I bought a second hand one of these. A question for anyone who bought one new please - was the main table installed or did you have to fit it? I ask as mine is domed by 1/2mm adjacent to the blade area. This is an issue as you cannot adjust the sliding table to align with the table. I...

Hi - I tried to get at this information but the url link(s) seem to not be there anymore and I tried to get into the forum link and it says I'm not authorised (how do you get authorised?) any help would be appreciated - thanks

I have just bought-back my old 613 and it had the same problem as you describe. My first thoughts, from what you have bee saying, is that you need to get a very good understanding on how to tune a bandsaw. There are some great tutorials on YouTube- Check out one by Alan Holtham doing one on a...

Hi I live in Devon but it's a large area so need to know detail etc. I'm no expert but I'm an engineer and have restored most of my machines. If I can help, you need to get in contact with me - not sure how you do this?

I don't have experience of ITECH equipment but I have not heard anything bad about them. I have many Jet machines and a 502e Startrite bandsaw. I have to say they are very good machines and support is good even though they are getting on in age. The Startrite is exceptional and robust machine...

Hi - I need to replace my tires on my Kity 613 bandsaw wheels. Has anyone done this successfully and would be prepared to explain how you did it and where did you get the tires from Please? Many thanks
