    Which wall fastenings for twin slot shelving?

    So, normally the plug is held in place by the article u r fixing. So get another plug. Cut a length from that and place it as a spacer on the screw inside the upright. This usually stops the plug out so the screw can then be tightened. Also most important, the screw needs to be long enough...

    Homemade cyclone dust collector collapsing

    I think the valve idea is good, occasionally swopping hose connection I let the hose grab a surface and bucket collapses, with a valve fitted this wouldn't happen and no extra strain will be put on the dust extractor motor. I've got to rig up an in line relief valve for my small sander to stop...

    Best way to ease edges?

    Same reason I suppose as combination plane kits for all sorts of grooving, tongues rebates aren't used, machines! I wonder if apprentices even shown one to use :dunno:

    My new push sticks. If you’re using a table saw you need these!

    Well having read the no guard thread, my new saw did come with a plastic push stick, will have to measure it don't think it's the required 450mm but I'll make a couple up to the regs. It's the makers of the saws annoy me, I'd gladly pay much more for a machine that came with well designed...

    Just use the blade guard!

    ooh that makes me shudder, all had to do was fix a full sacrificial face and do a push through, just the alone would have been much safer, one slip, one contaminant in the wood and OUCH! Best not to wear jewellery machining like the ring easy to get snagged.

    Just use the blade guard!

    Trained as a joiner and machinist about 40 years ago and now coming onto this and other forums is scary. I used to sell and demonstrate Triton 2000 systems, their table saw, router attachment and all the other gear, safety was always there, never liked their idea of tenoning with no blade...

    SIP 50ltr dust extractor filter bags

    Ooh you just gave me an idea! I think the same son has a 3D printer he hasn't used yet. Guess what? The very reason he hasn't used it yet is concern about the chemicals and also fumes given off, you couldn't make a story up like it :unsure: could use it outside on a dry day:ROFLMAO:

    SIP 50ltr dust extractor filter bags

    Hi Sigovia, ok so its a few years since I looked into extraction and the current regulations. Mainly to protect myself/others who come into the garage when I'm working I checked up, since I was a joiner in a workshop recommendations have changes. MDF and hardwood dusts now are baddies (always...

    SIP 50ltr dust extractor filter bags

    As I have just upgraded my extractor vacuum to an M class I noticed that bags weren't cheap so I have just installed a cyclone on my Triton dust bucket. The result is that this removes most of debris and dust and it increased the vacuum as I removed the Tritons cloth filter. So it will take...

    Men In Sheds

    I've just started a little job of making bee hotels (insects and butterflies welcome) from off cuts after modifying my sons bin store. Sideways comment about pallets very true, luckily fence railings were pretty clean as I'd stripped them off. Just gathering bamboo and other bits to finish...

    Triton series2000

    That kit you show has a router table with it. I've just sold all my kit and used to work for Triton and demonstrate it. It is solid kit and once it's set up it's great, that router table shown was a later model than mine and has got a better set of clamps and guards. My main reason for...

    BOSCH GTS 10 XC Dust extraction from crown guard

    Sorry to tell you but the new crown guard is not a lot a use but might make a nice ornament. After lockdown I'm gonna source some plastics and make my own using the existing as a starting point and the locking mechanism, fingers crossed. Below is part of a reply I have had from Bosch and...
