I confess to being guilty as charged, I rarely throw anything out ;-) And when I do I then find a week later I wanted it :-)

Yes that looks like the man Odd I have never come across one before Its a shame its no use but at least I know what it was for ;-)

Thanks for that, but I don't think so, its a clockwise cutting face, so that would drive a wood screw in further I hadn't noticed before but both ends appear to be damaged, ie the very end seems to be snapped off I was wondering if it was a lathe bit ? Now I see its broken its likely to be...

..heck is this ? I bought a load of stuff this morning but don't recognise this at all Its about 52mm long x 12mm Its like a short double ended drill bit but am unsure what it is Anyone seen one before?

Just to add, in case you are not aware, some machines only take pinned blades, most that take pinless also take pinned

Scroll saw blades are generally of a standard length, so its a matter of whether you want pinned blades or pinless, I have only ever used pinned for cutting metal and had no problem at all I would have a word with Axminster tools, they have Pegas metal cutting blades, and I am sure could advise...

Thanks for your reply, all useful stuff Yes I was taken with the rather nice box, better than others I have had by a long way, it has suffered with age but is largely intact, not looking to get it back to perfect but a reasonable state for use, a small amount of inlay has been lost but is...

Thanks for that I will see what a soapy bath does first then may try that Cheers

Thanks for your reply Its a bit gummy with gunk but seems to be pretty flat with a straight edge, lengthways and sideways I will give it a wash first and then test again

Hi all At the boot sale this morning I picked up a few bits (as you do) one being an old oilstone in its box Firstly I wondered if its worth cleaning up and using And secondly what would be the best method to restore both the box and the stone Its pretty grubby but seems to be very flat

I would have replied earlier but didn't select the notify box :-( All I can say is I would assume there is something seriously wrong with your EX21 There are plenty in use but I haven't heard a lot of people reporting vibration problems I use an Axminster AWFS18 which sits atop the stand...

What sort of saw (make/model) are you using?

Nicely done! I would suggest trying some Pegas blades , you will notice the difference in ease of use and much reduced need for sanding after

I was bidding on a band saw on ebay, which I lost Shortly after I received an email from ebay, as I had recently bid on the band saw perhaps I might want to buy something similar, with four photos included Four pictures of Golf clubs !! I always thought they were for playing golf, just shows...

I am feeling quite left out I haven't had an email from Robert Sorby :-( Not that I want one of course but if emails were being scraped off this forum or sold on surely it would be all not just a few ? I have had GDPR requests from all and sundry other previous suppliers/advertisers though...

Yes one of the problems of using quick produced timber This started out as the base of a wardrobe, kindly donated by a neighbour over the road :-)

It wasn't a total loss It was out with the superglue, the break was clean and seems to have glued up alright If it was a sold piece I would have started again but as this was a gift I cheated It seems pretty solid anyway and just hope its liked by my sis in law

Does this only seem to happen right at the end of a project :-( It was all glued up and had a first coat of lacquer I have it final fine sand and was just gently brushing off the dust, ready for a couple more coats to finish it off then send off Sadly your hands don't seem to have the grip...

Beautifully done :-)

Yes common enough in the 60's My mother chain smoked the innocuous sounding Players Mild Mild they weren't and sadly it killed her in 1969
