Good stuff, but by the time you add import duty, tax and shipping, the cost is high. Malcolm

Hi John and welcome to the forum. Bandsaws are really useful and you will have fun using it, but as a Virgin, you do need to know how to get the best from it. Steve Maskery has very good DVD's that will show you everything that will make life easy when using your bandsaw and tuning it up. Also...

phil.p ............ that brought a smile to me this morning. Thank you. I thought I was the one who was way behind everyone, particularly my children and grandchildren, who take these things for granted. I have used coputers for buisiness years ago, but my mobile phoe hardly ever gets used and...

Thank you for those details. I have already gone to 320 after cleaning and then 400 and removed the fine scratches that were not so obvious when in use. I intend to us 600 before any sealing and then the 600 or finer lightly between coats. I agree that the glass like finish is not as attractive...

Thanks, any suggestions as to what would be helpful.

..... far more convenient. I have only just taken out the Panasonic VHS recorder I had in my old setup and it's sitting around to see if I will sell it or tip it with a few VHS films. It has always been good, but eventhe TV went to the tip eventually. Malcolm

Thanks. I may try 'casting' sometime, but at my level of absorbtion on new ideas, it may take me a while...... it's an 'age thing'. Malcolm

Just having a go at a new surface for this coffee table that we have had since we were married over 50 years ago. The polish build up was sticky, but I have today rubbed it down after cleaning it off and plan to finish it with Tru-Oil. Now I have never done anything as large as this before. The...

Having just upgraded to a similar smart screen after 15 years at 32", I have yet to discover this 'flicking' technique from my iPad with my finger. Perhaps you should make a video to show me how! lol Malcolm

The BS400 guides are fine and work well down to a 1/4" blade and as long as you are happy with them, a change may not improve anything at all. If anyone going to a sho could take the 403 guides with them, I'm sure the Record rep wouldn't mind seeing if they fit. Or indeed any other pair of...

If this is a bandsaw box, wide and shallow, then the thickness will be determined by your cutting out of the drawer from the main block. A little like the ones made by Designer Woods in the USA. His models #49 are cut rather thinly, wide and some are shallower than the size you mention. Is that...

Steve Maskery does very well on here and so he should. He has spent time and money building his enterprise, which benefits a lot of people, particularly newcomers to woodworking. They in turn help and promote him in praising his DVD's and helping him with his projects. His methods are tried...

scgwhite, I am rather surprised that you felt the guides were not working correctly, but if you bought your bandsaw from new, you do have a 5 year guarantee and could rely on that to get replacements. However, by changing the guides to the woodden ones, you will invalidate your guarantee if...

Photo is not a problem, this one has been reduced in size. Part Number SBS400-203 Upper Guide Support Block SBS400-262 Upper Blade Guide Support* SBS400-263 Rear Blade Guide Assembly* SBS400-264 Rear Blade Guide Assembly Malcolm

THat's a great job bob. Really top notch, so well done. I really must get into this, but am slow on the uptake. Malcolm

pops92, just seen your question on this. The first boxes I made were finished with sanding sealer and mycrocrystaline wax polish http://www.axminster.co.uk/chestnut-mic ... wax-951143. After sanding down through the grades to 320, I applied a coat of sanding sealer, allowed that to dry and...

Just to clarify about breaks on blades that I have had. I have had two or three breaks over three years, at the weld, but never bothered to send them back or complain as I have had so much good value and service from Tuffsaw blades that I put it down to me. The first couple were probably me and...

Not sure if this is exactly what you need, but I have been very happy with DVD Catalytst. Pull it up and take a look to see if it would help. Malcolm

The e-mail account I referred to was my normal one I have had for years, even before Virgin Media was joined. It is a blueyonder.co.uk that I get via Mozilla Thunderbird, but when leaving Virgin, they gave me 90 days then closed the account. I have managed to get a temporary link, but that will...

Thanks, I thought that was probably what you meant. I dont believe that the wheel movement of 0.5mm should affect a blade bthat is set up correctly. the guides and bearings would be about that far away from the blade and are for the purpose of 'bumping' the blade back to where it should be, so...
