I'm quite surprised when looking for the "best" table router setup that you haven't got an Incra system on that list. I have the LS positioner and the accuracy it gives you with setting the fence position up is second to none, takes all the guesswork and trial and error out of setting up a cut...

I've looked into doing exactly this in the past. Although the boss has decided that she would rather have visible shelf brackets, the consensus was that if you have a brick wall then the most robust solution is to epoxy some steel studding directly into the wall.

Wow, a lot of advice is appearing - thanks all. MusicMan - that glue line looks great, I would definitely be happy to achieve that level of precision. I think I shall be following the advice of a few people here and recognising my inexperience use a router to achieve straightness for this job...

Thanks for the advice both, I have a decent Track saw so I guess I will have to trust it to do a straight enough job. Perhaps I wasn't explicit enough in my earlier message - this is a long grain/long grain glue up to make a wider top from two existing pieces of full stave worktop not a...

Although I've been on this forum for a few years, I think this is my first visit to the hand tool section so please be gentle with me :) I am not normally a hand tool woodworker, but I have need in the very near future (i.e. this week) to glue up some 40mm sapele for use as a kitchen worktop...

You mean like this? post1198810.html Following the advice of a member on that thread, I bought a pair of these for my own project - each roller unit is rated to 80kg. http://www.gsf-slides.co.uk/en/products ... 80%2F110kg I've still not finished building mine at the moment, but I reckon when...

I ordered in some water based pigmented lacquer from Morrells; instructions were to mix to another manufacturer's shade which they said they could do. I've done a test panel this evening and it's definitely off - I was expecting a cream/ivory colour but it's got a darker more biscuity hue. Has...

Thanks both, looks like I can turn to either of these and expect good results.

I've got some lovely full stave sapele worktops to install in the next few weeks. Aroubd the sink there is a small section where the worktop needs to extend deeper than the standard width. Rather than fork out a big extra chunk for an oversized piece, I figured with the sizes I need I could glue...

Pord - this was my first attempt at double doors post959927.html?hilit=garage#p959927. Hope you find something useful in there.

I love my little Katsu router, if you have one of these already no need to buy another tool. I made a base to take Trend type guide bushes out of 6mm acrylic, it only takes a couple of hours and works perfectly. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

No, the fan isn't ATEX rated - I'm aware this limits me to water based paints. Why not use a tanning booth - well, one very good reason was I didn't think of it! I didn't even know such things existed. Would they also be up to the job of providing a similar sized booth with filtration? I...

I've a lot of spraying to do, and anyone who has sprayed anything knows one of the biggest challenges with spraying is containing the mess and preventing overspray from affecting the quality of the finish. So, I decided I needed some form of spray booth. Judging by the number of threads on here...

I'm not sure I subscribe to this idea that compressors are "high maintenance" machines - I would go so far as to say a good compressor is basically maintenance free on a hobbyist duty cycle. I have a cooler in-line between the compressor and receiver, so the air that reaches the receiver is nice...

I think the Table Saw with the right jig wins hands down for quality of cut and versatility. With a router cutter, it's generally recommended not to take a deeper cut than the bit diameter, so for a 4mm cutter for instance you can only realistically use this with thin material and even a 12mm...

Custard - I use a 2.5mm hex shank bit and a hex chuck extension. No need for anything more proprietary. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

You've positioned the cyclone correctly, I've never seen someone with a cyclone after the extractor. If you're struggling for airflow, my advice would be to sell on your current extractor and upgrade to a single bigger unit. I would have thought having extractors in parallel rather than series...

If I remember correctly from my floor finishing project, Sadolin PV67 (2 part varnish) is an often recommended very robust coating used on bar tops and dance floors. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

Looks spot on craftsmanship. My only niggle is on the design, which I presume was driven by the customer - skirting boards rather than a kick space under the cabinet? That would bug me. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

I'm glad you're going away from multi motor extractors - they are cumbersome for power tools (and get starved of airflow, which they motors need for cooling). For your budget, you can easily get a shop vac type extractor for general duties (I really like my Nilfisk Alto, a nicer built machine...
