I have an old Ideal classic with a cast iron exchanger, and a similar setup with a vented system and a vented cylinder (2 tanks in the loft), although my cylinder is not gravity fed. My system must be around 20 years old. I had a similar problem when I moved into the house, lukewarm rads, and...

FWIW, I also work in a small garage and have a small Bernardo table saw with a cast iron top and a sliding table, which I use for almost everything. I even use it for crosscutting most of the time because I don't have space to keep my compound mitre saw set up. I use it all the time for sheet...

I am looking to buy a router table, and would like something sturdy (and heavy) with a sliding table. Something like the Record RPMS-R or Charnwood W015, they look very similar, both are heavy with cast iron tables, but they don't seem to make the Record any more. Does anyone have any...

Another option I have been thinking about is to look for a DeWalt 1150 (or Elu 1161) used, and get one of these: http://www.sheartak.com/Sheartak_Spiral ... 1150_Combo They are around 350GBP, but with shipping and import charges somewhat over 400. For some reason this particular cutterhead is...

That looks like a very nice machine, I could wait for something like that to come up, at ~500 the price is right. I saw the one you refer to on eBay. I downloaded the pictures and zoomed in a bit, but I could not tell what make it was. I am bit worried if I buy something too obscure, if I need...

And you could update it with one of these: https://www.grizzly.com/products/Grizzl ... head/H7655 Although it is a bit pricey. I found the Grizzly version was sold here at some point on Amazon.co.uk, with the spiral cutterhead: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Grizzly-G0453Z ... B0017IF2RU but it...

You are right, I am mostly looking for a thicknesser, and if it happens to have a planer on top, I am sure I would find a use for it sometimes. So I could easily live with one missing parts on top, or a crappy fence, or slow to change over. I have been looking at the various makes of 260s...

FWIW this 15 inch puppy is around 950GBP and only 200kg. They don't seem to sell this design here. https://canucktools.ca/king-15-industri ... kc-382cfx/

In Canada I bought a lunchbox thicknesser, which didn't really cut it, so I upgraded to a 15" Delta thicknesser. I had an old Rockwell planer (jointer), but I didn't use it much. Changing knives in the thicknesser was a pain, and all too frequent, so I purchased a set of carbide knives for it...

I am looking for a thicknesser for my home workshop, at least 10" wide with a spiral cutterhead. So far I have found the Axminster AT260SPT and the iTech 260S, both a bit above the 1500GBP mark. Are there any other similar machines available in the UK? I would not mind buying used, but it...

New to the forum, new to the UK, thought I should post something. Here is a cabinet I made when I first started to become interested in woodworking. The finish is linseed oil and shellac, and the leaded glass was with copper foil. Sadly I had to leave it behind in Canada. Never did quite finish...

I am surprised she kept the riving knife.
