Don’t forget you can always flip the wood over and make a cut from both sides although you may need to make a mod to the riving knife to do this. It all comes down to what you plan to make. I rarely use the angled cut but when I have it has been useful.

It’s definitely possible to get planning for a garage in front of your property, it all comes down to what the planning authority considers the building line. My previous house was set back from the road and I managed to build a large double garage in front. As for building regs there are two...

Thanks, shame they only sell in multiples of 10.

I need to get some ceramic belts (60, 120, plus something a bit finer) for my proedge. After searching back through the forum I see some people have been buying from bndabrasives but their prices don’t seem very competitive anymore and the min quantity is too high. Westcountry machines 4 wood...

I had the same problem with my fence until I did a simple mod. Metabo HC260C (and clones) fence improvement

Mmm. That’s interesting, I have the same saw and I‘m not that impressed. I have it hooked up to a RP DX4000 and even with both motors running I still get clouds of dust when cutting anything over 100mm.

Can’t help but that’s a very disappointing result from Axminster, I‘m sure when I bought my TS-250 I asked about spares availability and they proudly said that they keep spares for all their machines for a period of 10 years from the last date it’s sold...I’m even less inclined to buy from them...

Its worth splitting the motor, cleaning the commutator with some fine and then running a blade between each segment to ensure there’s no short between them, sometimes a bit of bush can short them out. Also a small bump on a segment can make the brushes jump causing the sparking.

I wouldn‘t try and power it up until you have found the reason for sparking, could be a segment is broken on commutator or a winding has fused, that would stop it starting. Have you tried spinning the motor by hand, does it turn ok? Do you have a multi-meter you could could try some continuity...

Can you see the commutator when you remove the brushes? If you can’t then I would remove the brushes and then split the motor so you can check and clean the commutator and check the bearings aren’t allowing the shaft to move. You can also then check that the brushes are sitting nicely on the...

Agree with dzj. A quicker and less good mend depending on the severity and how the door is made, after you’ve clamped and stuck the crack back together, drill out the screw holes and glue long dowels in, 10-15mm diameter usually works well. Not as good as the cut out method though.

There’s also Shrublands, they get in nice trees that they plank and then start the seasoning. However, these seem to sell quickly for home seasoning. They sometimes have an open day during the summer. Shrubland Woodland Products

D T Dye timber is just down the road from me, they don’t seem to have much seasoned wood but will cut to order if you have the space and time to season your own. Great for firewood too. D T Dye Timber, specialist suppliers of locally sourced English hardwood timber, Oak, Larch & Douglas Fir...

My office space is DPC/25mm cellotex/18mm chipboard/carpet tiles. Makes a big difference compared to concrete on its own plus you can loose the step up with a thick threshold. If you have the space then go thicker as above.

In fact they don’t split when they are wet so I prefer to use them in this state.

First welcome to the forum, I see this is your first post. The forum is a goldmine of information and spending some time learning how to use the search, and particularly the advance search will reveal answers to the questions you have. However, I know that it’s more reassuring to get answers...

Final answer is The Grinding Centre, Glasgow, I have them bookmarked for some reason but can’t remember why!

Also this company makes them but I suspect £££, again may be worth a call. Precision Diamond and CBN Wheels
