A superb layout tha i easy to follow. I have kept a copy for reference later. Many thanks Custard. This should be a STICKEY ?

Hi Lee, or is it Jack?, welcome to the forum and your start in a new dimention. When I first joined this forum and even before joining, every time I opened the forum, the first section I looked at was the For Sale. It can get you lots of 'goodies' from members, who have usually looked after...

......additionally, I would suggest that you see how the bandsaw performs before considering changing the guides. In general, guides are set just 'off' the saw blade so that it can be 'bumped' back should it move away from it's true line. Getting that true line is what the 'tuning' is all about...

Welcome to the forum and to the world of bandsaws. Dont know that particular model, but in general terms, you need to make sure it is tuned up when you have the blades ....... ideally from Tuffsaw as they are the best. The following info may help you :- GET THE BEST TUNING FROM A BANDSAW 'Alex...

You are right Bob, but we need to remember that some people do take a little longer to understand how improvements can be made. Bandsaw Drift can be eliminated and it takes time to understand the machine you have and how best to make it work well. Alex Snodgrass has shown a very good way to...

I think you have not understood correctly. Adjusting the tilt of the top wheel is what positins the blade. It was designed that way, as the factory setting, just for that purpose. You may have been confued by some people saying you shold change the bottom wheel to obtain co-planar with the top...

Under trees, where lots of shade, I doubt you will ever get ';bowling gree' lawn. You need seeds for shady areas and with strong roots. Go to a nurseries and chat with them. They should know the best for you.

So, whats the simplest 'dumb' phone I can buy for next time?

Ahhhh, I see now, a possibility . Thanks Bob

Cannot see what you mean. The key would be horizontal to the lid, not vertical. Malcolm

The handle part would take it but the lock part is too slim, but good idea otherwise Bob. Malcolm

I want to use a large old brass door key as a lifting handle on top of box to lift the lid off. Needs to be edge on, so only the bottom of round end and bottom of the lock turner on the lid. I thought about slightly inseting but it needs to be a strong 'fixer - fixative. Dont really want to...

Rubbish. If the bandsaw is set up correctly, with a good blade, you should not get any drift. Having repeated that many times, the tuning of a bandsaw can take time and all sections link with each other, so if you do just one, then it wont be enough. You may have already seen the following...

This Yandles September 2017 show is not listed as yet, but perhaps the Mderators will be adding it soon? I love this place for the timber selection alone, but the shows are great. Must try and get therr this time. Malcolm SORRY, IT IS LISTED. MY MISTAKE.

I am so pleased to see that I am not such an oddball at my age.

Went out to buy some more timber from Sykes at Nuneaton this morning and took the opportunity to visit Axminsters as they are nearby. Rightly or wrongly I went for the corded DeWalt DW305PK, as it has a 3 year warranty and I do like the idea of having a 4 position blade holder that will allow...

The Trelis I will be cutting is, in most places, horizontal or vertical cuts. I can use the saw upside down presumably if its easier to cut upwards, but the arch over the pathway has several awkward angles and I would like to be able to cut ON the join line to replace easier where just a few...

Looking at the selection available, is it important to have one where the blade can cut at all 4 directions, like the De Walt? Seems a good idea when cutting difficult bits of a trellis or other demolition work, but not many have this facility. Anyone used one of these? Malcolm
