yes ive seen this one called the little wizard. Its currently sold out at rutlands but as soon as it comes back in stock I think its going to have to be this one. I dont want to trust a stud finder as it wont be the primary function. With this it seems its built for the exact purpose I need it...

I definetly see your point on this which is why im very carefull. I clean up the boards as much as possible before running them through and havent had a problem ever. just want a metal detector to add to making sure the boards are clear before running them through. I appreciate the comment lol

I was just wondering if anyone could reccomend a decent metal detector for wood. I like to play around with pallet wood quite often. I have recently bought a at260spt spiral planer/thicknesser and want to be 100% that im not running wood through it that still has signs of nails in it. Last...

I have been scrolling for a few years now. Not as much as I like to but I love it when i get time to do it. Im part of a couple scrolling groups on fb and its mostly americans most of the time. Baltic birch seems to be what they use alot of the time. I bought some of ebay that stated to be...

I had an older axminster hobby machine. It was my 2nd ever PT. I never really felt like I had decent results from it tbh. I have just bought the at260spt spiral machine and out the box it beat all results I ever had with my other one. Though I will say that fine tuning it is an absolute...

Its a great machine and worked really well out the box just wasnt bang acorss the width of the table which is what im having trouble with getting right. I rang them yesterday and they sent me out a pdf file for the setup guide. This is the guide that there engineers follow. It doesent seem easy...

Thanks for the heads up. I will have a look when next get chance but I dont think they will have them. I never had a problem with the tables not adjusting. They do adjust but just too much. There is no mircro adjustment option so once I get one part of the table right and adjust another part, it...

Well today didnt go so well. Still not even got the outfeed table parralel to the cutters from front to back. Tried just altering the front mushroom bolts first after getting the 5mm on the back. Altered just the one screw to bring up the front side nearest the cutters. Kept getting close but...

Thanks for that. Ill give them a ring monday and see if they have it to email me. Unless I get it sorted tomorrow which im planning on spending most of the day giving it my best shot lol. I think I know what you mean by the spanners. I saw on a vid they were using a 17 spanner for the locking...

I didnt even realise you can adjust the locking levers. Will have to have a look. I watched the axminster video and saw that you can adjust from the back aswell by removing a few panels. Though on the woodgrafters video he does everything from the front mushroom adjusters. I will remove the...

Thanks for the reply. Ill take your advice. Ill get the outfeed table parallel to the cutters/block first then do infeed table coplaner to the outfeed table. Plus make sure im not getting the blades too close to the table. Just one question though. What do you mean by the cam. Is that the...

Recemtly bought the axminster planer thicknesser at260spt (spiral). The results out the box were pretty good tbh but the outfeed table when tested was not exactly parralel to the spiral cutters from front to back. I was getting about 4/5mm movement on the back and more than double on the front...

I got £400 for it in the end and then bought the at260spt spiral planer thicknesser from axminster. £1649 but completely worth it lol. Its a pain to get the tables and everything set perfect. Not even sorted it yet but i tested it straight out the box and even the results before attempting...

Thanks I never thought about adhesive labels. I may give this a go but will try the white spirit on normal paper aswell still. What brand a4 adhesive labels do you use. Thanks

Hey. Was just wondering if anyone could advise me how much I should sell my AWEPT106 planer thicknesser for. Its an axminster model but is sold under different names aswell such as record power. The record power one brand new is coming up at £799 with mobile stand. Its nearly 4 years old but in...

My method of sticking a pattern to the wood has always been contact paper style film to the wood first then spray adhesive on the pattern to attach ontop of the contact style paper. It has worked pretty well for me but im now doing more intricate work and it seems to be lifting wood fibres off...

Thank you eveyone for the replys. Ill welcome any help or advice after this aswell. Ill take on board about everything and see how I get on. One thing ive never done is thicknessed the board down gradually by working each side. Ive always just done one so I will definetly start working both...

Thanks for the reply. I did compensate for the thickness. Was going to get down to 6/7mm eventually. One question though. How long would you let a resawn board settle for after resawing. Thanks again

I am trying to edge joint some american white oak boards together. Basically I planed up one face and one edge of a two pices of american white oak. Then I resawed a 10mm strip of of each piece. I then left these boards (which had one perfectly flat face each) overnight. The boards were...

I'm getting tired of thinking my wood is dry and then it warping after preping the wood up lol. So I have decided to purchase a moisture meter. I'm leaning towards a pinless version one but my question is which ones are decent and which ones should I avoid. Or are they all pretty much the...
