I made a sliding door wardrobe out of floor to ceiling 18mm veneer MDF, using the Mars sliding system by Buller. The sliding kit works well, but the runners bear the weight on the bottom track rather than being top hung. After a short while I encountered problems with the doors bowing due to the...

When you say your cyclone is "letting stuff through" do you mean larger shavings or fine dust? A properly sized and designed cyclone should give superior performance to a thien baffle for fine dust separation, but both should be 100% effective at removing shavings. You don't state what extractor...

If I was working with pallet wood in any quantity, I would buy or build a thickness sander. An idea of what you can build quite easily here: http://woodgears.ca/sander/thickness.html Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

I had a green Bosch which died after hardly any use and no abuse. I now have an Erbauer which seems well made - decent magnesium gearbox casing in it. The go to manufacturer I think is Saxton blades, they sell blades with all the main fittings and also adaptors that allow you to mix and match...

I'm a little intrigued as to how you know both your required airflow and the driving pressure required to deliver it. Anyway, your question is relatively straightforward to answer, but the blower needs to be specified based on both the unrestricted flow rate and the stall pressure. Fortunately...

That Rutlands extractor looks rather small for a P/T and duct run of that size. From the image I would say that has a 300mm blower at most so will not generate that much suction pressure. I would suggest you consider a simple drop box (bin lid with two holes) rather than a cyclone or Thien...

Just had a brainwave - looking at the dimensions this may fit: http://www.aluminium-profile.co.uk/acat ... 92476.html alternatively I would fix some small metal angle to the right of your fence and fix the Jessem track onto that and your fence. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

My other suggestion would be to route your own wooden t track in straight grained hardwood. One of the Wealden keyhole cutters should be able to do this in a couple of passes. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

Peter, I think the problem with the build it track is it is substantially wider than the track itself due to the low profile sections each side for the fixing holes. I'd be interested in the dimensions though - Incra unhelpfully don't give this data on their website for some reason. Sent from...

I can confirm the four square nuts supplied with the guides fit Incra T Track. There is a page "Installing your stock guides to a router table or table saw with an up top 1/4" T-slot" which covers this. I presume this is what you meant? The track supplied as part of the kit is bigger than a...

I think standard Incra T Track should work (this is designed to accept 1/4"-20 hex bolts). I have both the clear cut TS stock guides and Incra T Track at home so I can check tonight for you.

Do you keep your tools mostly in the workshop or do you do a few site based jobs? If you do site work, systainer type boxes are fantastic. For the workshop, they are expensive overkill in my view. If you decide to go stacking boxes route, I would build a drawer shelf unit to keep them in for...

Vacuum clamp or double sided tape to secure the workpiece. If you have a stationary disc sander I would use that to finish the edges with, stick the workpiece onto a turntable jig. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

I've heard of variable vane technology in turbochargers (where a set of static vanes surround the turbine and can be adjusted to optimise the inlet conditions to the turbine depending on exhaust conditions and turbine speed) but I was unaware it was being used now in the stators of axial...

Understanding HVLP fan performance Seen a few questions recently that suggest a bit more on this topic might be helpful. I've already covered some basics of the relationship between pressure drop and flow rate above. In this post, I'm going to look at what governs the performance of a HVLP fan...

I've always followed this advice - think it was from my saw's manual, or possibly a Taunton's book: Draw a line from the centre of the blade at a 45 degree angle towards the back of the saw. The rip fence should not extend backwards beyond this line. Thus, as your fence position gets wider you...

No. An induction motor will spin at close to synchronous speed unless overloaded. To get more suck, you would need the bigger motor and a larger impeller. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

Thanks for the feedback Steve. The HPLV/LPHV distinction is to do with how strongly/much the extractor moves air. For machines, you need high flow rate (volume) because the cutters are large and the extraction is generally over a large area. For example, the shroud around a table saw has a much...
