Making mistakes. Made another box sale today, but when starting to pack it up, broke it beyond repair. Had to quickly e-mail the buyer and say sorry, but he came back and bought another one more expensive. That makes 7 this month due to a discounted month, but need to get forward a week and then...

What's the problem Don? Don't have a manual but perhaps have some answers? Malcolm

That's a good idea Stu, I had a small benchtop one to start with and sold it off when I bought the Record BS400 which is a real dream. Whatever the size, you just need to get it running well and then learn what to use it for. A couple of thisgs which may help :- THE BEST FROM A BANDSAW 'Alex...

Just an idea, contact a railway enthuiast group. I'm sure those could be available from an engine on a railway train. Malcolm

Really superb Brian. Was that made to order or to sell and what is it's actual size? Malcolm

Carl, your tuning seems to be causing you a problem and shouldn't if you have followed the advice given before. Do not use the detension leaver as that is only to slacken the blade when you remove it, or are leaving it for a long time so that it does not remain under pressure.Once the tension...

My Ronseal 'SATIN' finish varnish was white in the tin and cleared when dry, but the GLOSS Ronseal is clear in the tin. Malcolm

Not sure which wheel kit you have on the BS400, but I find that this http://www.yandles.co.uk/record-power-b ... dsaw/p4970 is excellent. Just have to move it to a 'level' space and there is no 'rock' at all. However, the base on the Record planer thickneserhttp://scosarg.com/record-pow ...

Well done pops92, I'm sure you will have fun with it. My original post was wrong with the 14mm, it's the same as yours 16mm and my model is the RIK2 also. If you have any problems, let me know and if you like, you can always pop over here, Loughborough is not so far away. Just make sure...

Having left it for a while, it seems to be settling down, or perhaps it's me getting used to it, so I may leave it 'as is' for now and see if we are happy living with it. When I was looking for answers, particularly on using Poly and getting a good finish, I came across a good video from the...

Hi Paul and welcome to the forum. I'm sure I can find you some spare bits and being in Bromsgrove, you are only a couple of junctions along the M42 from me. If you PM me your phone number we can chat and make arrangements for me to driop them in to you. At the bottom of each post, you will...

No. You just have that magic ingredient ..............Knowledge and experience.

Hiya pike, As you say, when it works, it's really great but the tuning is 'key' to everything else. My own trials were similar to your own I'm sure, as it was the rear bearing that I always forgot about until I realised that it was the most essential. Side guides are only there to check the side...

Thank for that. The reason I started this job was to get rid of marks and the wax build up. I do have microcrystaline wax polish but is that enough on top of the gloss, or do I still take the 'edge' off with the green scotchbrite? Malcolm

OK, so I went ahead with the varnish, but after the second coat, I was not very happy with the results of the sating finish. I then went for the gloss poly and a couple of coats later it looks like this. However, I think it's a bit too glossy, so the next step would be ? I think, maybe, a...

When I changed the drawer fronts on a box, I simply made a copy of that front in a different wood and used that. In one case, I had a different wood on the back of the box so managed just to swap the front with the back for the same effect. Malcolm

Enjoyed those. Thanks for posting.

Just heard that Yandles have another Road Show & Sale on the 18th & 19th November. If you haven't been to a Yandles sale, you may have missed something. Apart from a wide variety of exhibitors, there are demonstrations of various equipment from small to very large and an absolute massive...
