    diy dust hood sedgwick pt260

    Yup just like a box angled sides. I have been fiddling with my rollers today, It seems that my springs are a little weak as when a thick timber went through it bouced the blades into the out feed table chewing up the out feed table which was not very nice. It seems you can crank the springs to...

    diy dust hood sedgwick pt260

    I had to make one of these for mine a couple of weeks ago. I bought one on ebay and it had no hood. I made mine in a tank shape with a baffle in it. Sides 15mm ply and top 19mm ply. I then used a hole drill to take out a 102mm hole. I then friction fitted a 100mm dust extraction hose fitting and...

    GTL? Plane. Any ideas??

    I would suggest that you donate it a theme pub to go on the wall with all he other useless stuff they have. Alternatively give it as a gift to relative and put them off woodworking for life, thereby saving a couple of trees from destruction. :twisted:

    WorkSharp - Rutlands

    I have the veritas power sharpener which i guess is a similar system. I have to say that I really like it and it works for me but.... 1. It will cut at different speeds on big plane irons and therefore you need to adjust the pressure accordingly. 2. To get a slight curve on the blade is a real...

    GTL? Plane. Any ideas??

    I bought one of these on ebay in my woodworking youth and ignorance. What a piece of cr*p it is junk. It was useless, nothing was workable including meaningfull blade adjustment. I do believe on the other hand that you can polish them up nicely :lol: However this is just my opinion Owen

    Yet another workshop

    Its a permanent move. So I'm making the best of it. Pretty happy with the space but the floor is a bit cold. The sedgwick is a bit of a beast and needed some setting up. But its seems to be working good now. Just got to make a dust extraction box. Hows the jointer getting along?? Owen

    I am in the process of doing up and moving into a new house. While the house is a bit of a wreck I have somehow mange to sort most of the workshop out :twisted: .
