When Alex Snodgrass states that taking the table of the bandsaw to help set up the blade correctly, he usually has a small bandsaw and not something with a table that takes two people to position correctly. It is not essential to take the table off. I have never taken the table off on my Record...

............. some movement in the blade position...... which way is it moving. I don't understand. Moving back, sideways, ??? Once set up, it should not move out of line other than a few thou between the guides and bearings and before they are moved in, the blade should be running true in one...

Gary, be careful if you get your e-mails linked through Virgin Media. They are a company that will not release your e-mail account if you finish with them. I have had real problems since leaving them in April and an e-mail that I had in blueyonder.co.uk, before joining Virgin, is locked now...

I am very pleased with the AirAce mask. Looks like Darth Vader, but does noit steam up my glasses and I can wear it for long periods without any problems as it is comfortablke. Sol;d at Axminster and other places. Malcolm

Very interesting to be reading all this information, which helps to build a good record of exactly how things work and how they may be improved in some cases. I feel lucky that I have not had too many problems and even though I am aware of better guides being available, in my case I don't really...

Draper possibly?

I also have not had this problem with my BS400. I have 90° at the back and side of my blades. Malcolm

I have the BS400 and dont have a problem at all, although I have not looked that closely recently. When setting the thrust bearing, the adjustment is a bit difficult due to the fact that when tightening it up, it tends to move a little forward and that could be improved. However when setting the...

Hiya John, welcome. Hope you find as much fun on here as I have over the last couple of years. I retired 5 years ago when I reached 70, just thought I ought to take time out and relax more, rather than being a workaholic. I did plan what to do and before I got back to playing with wood again, I...

Have a great time. Malcolm

I doubt you will be able to use the existing guides for a 1/8" blade. When I decided to get blades below 1/4". I bought the Carter Stabilizer from USA and it's easy. However, it's also costly. Malcolm

Problem is the distance. Not like, 'round the corner', but I would rather be there with your weather than here. Rain this morning, but turning sunny now. Malcolm

Buy from a tool show. I had a £100 discount and free delivery on the BS400 I have. THis was bought after I had a few months with a table top model and the difference is outstanding, particulary when fitted with blades from Tuffsaw. The 350 or the 400 would serve you well and have a 5 year...

That's a really great first attempt. Far better than many would do and better than the first one I made. Well done. It can only get better from here in, so I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work on the forum. Malcolm

Had to look a few times, but got it at last .... duuuuuuuh! Malcolm Thought it may be that!

Hi and welcome to the forum. What are you working on with 1/8" blades? Malcolm

At £6.49, or less, you could go here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/17224790 ... 806&crdt=0

Don't forget that the price Carter quote will double once you add shipping and import duty. The benefits are only being able to use a 1/8" and 1/4" blade with them and the 1/4" can be used in the normal guides. If you need tighter turns often, then it will be good for the price and doesn't...

................................."I am soooo embarrassed. Can anyone recommend a good care home? " You could convert that large building you have out the back? If ther's space, I will need one soon. Yesterday, I telephoned EE about my phone account and the fact that my PAYG direct debit does...

Hi Bernie, Welcome to the forum and I hope that you find it as helpful as I did when I joined not so long ago. I'm 75 and really enjoying my retirement having taken up woodworking about 3 years ago. I found this forum the most helpful and friendly place for woodworkers of all ages and ability...
