Helps a lot, thanks Mark

Big thank you to Ian (Would Not) for the massive roll of chopped strand mat that he gave me and arrived today Mark

Can anyone recommend where to buy flexable hose about 40mm diameter to use to connect up to a shop vac. Don't need much, 1.5m will be more than enough. Also rigid connectors, same size, need a 90 degree bend and a Y piece and a short straight piece. I think the rigid pieces can be got as...

What is the place Greggy? My family are this neck of the woods and I've been considering a Camvac for a while now Mark

You need to click on the "more info" tab to see the diagrams Mark

If I understand your question correctly, generally rip blades have square tips and will therefore cut a square bottom. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=16444 Cross cut blades have their tips at an angle, alternating which way they bevel every tip (ATB - alternate top bevel). Where they...

As the title really. Anyone know if they are due to send out 10% off vouchers in the near future? Going to make a large purchase and want to take advantage. Mark

Unless I'm reading them wrong, both tables are giving different values to Workshop Heaven? Mark

Posted this here as it is obviously to do with hand tool sharpening. This is going to come across a bit anal, however, what is the grit value equivalent of the following micron values of sharpening paper? 100 60 40 30 15 5 1 0.3 Workshop heaven gives the following 60 = 600 40 = 800 30 = 1000...

Having never tried to use a scrapper, I'm thinking of trying this. What type of file do I need to use to square the edge? *******, second or fine cut? Can anyone point me towards the right type in the Axi catalogue? Cheers Mark

Thanks to all who have replied so far, some useful info gleened but I need to study this against prices. I will have a look at all the links over the next few days, got a busy weekend planned. Would not, thank you for your kind offer, I'd like to do that, again I will PM you over the next few...

I need to make what can best be described as hatch covers for a couple of things in the garden, Basically a sheet of exterior ply with a lip. I want to waterproof the whole thing by covering in fibreglass. (I have got a couple of other projects in mind involving fibreglass and this will be a...

Leading on from an earlier comment, what is the difference between a fret saw, a piercing/jewellers saw and a coping saw?

Wow that's one massive router table you're planning Mike, but I guess that the Incra takes up so much room on the top. My plans are more humble, though I do want a "full size" top. I think 32 by 24 inches looks fairly average comparing the commercial tops from the likes or Woodpecker and...

Thanks i understand that. What I am after is an idea of actual dimensions people have gone for and whether they have found these OK in general use. Mark

Hi Can some of you give me an idea of the size of the tops of your home made router tables so I can get a feel of what is the norm. Also I have bought an inset plate which is approx 20 x 30 cm. Looking from the front it will be centred left to right. I notice it is not the norm to centre it...

Ray Without going to look then, am in right in thinking that removing the shroud, doesn't also remove the dust port? Has anyone used both the dust port and built it in a box to know which is best? I ask as I am intending to build a new yankee style table so it will be built in anyway, I just...

I,ve had this in the cupboard for nearly 2 years following the great BandQ sell off. I'm now planning my router table build. The Big Triton has a clear plastic shroud around it that a 38mm hose screws into for extracting. Has anyone used this to extract with when the router is upside down in...

Hi My question is in 2 parts Firstly has anyone had their alloy wheels refurbished? I'm referring to kerbing damage here. How did they look afterwards, were you pleased with the results Secondly the are loads of companies on the internet, including mobile ones and I don't know how to choose...

I'll give another thumbs up to the general idea. My workshop doors which are essentially a pair of garage doors I built the same way. 6mm wbp ply back, 45x45mm frame, T&G vertically on the front, stuffed with celotex. Lovely and warm. Hung mine with 3 big butts per door. As well as the...
