    Any alternate to Bench Dogs.co.uk ?

    I'm planning a 2.4 × 0.9m dog hole table with 4020 profile aluminium in front and behind and a home made rise and fall sliding hinge for my Mafell track. It will also have a fence for my mitre saw using the dog holes. The mitre saw will be on a separate lower table that will fix to the end and...

    AGS10 3 phase to single phase conversion

    Hi Sam I did look up the bearings a couple of weeks ago in case they were needed and they aren't expensive as machinery goes, about 12 quid each from memory. The bearings on my Colchester lathe are £300+ if you can find them independently and about £600 from the manufacturers :shock: So a...

    Startrite 351E bandsaw, single phase 240v

    It's above the barn, 20m x 6m, access at the far end is via about 4 or 5 steps, as the barn is built into a slope and it is only a single door so most big stuff comes through the floor. Make it difficult for thieves to nick stuff but can be a pain to move stuff around. Back to the plot...

    AGS10 3 phase to single phase conversion

    I had a bit of a nightmare with compressors breaking down and the wrong type of thinners turning the paint to snot, but once I sorted that out painting went very well. Hammerite uses toluene based thinners, but they don't sell the Wadkin colour, but Bitec do. The instructions are useless, it...

    Startrite 351E bandsaw, single phase 240v

    I have for sale a Startrite 351E which I have owned from new, and has had very little use. It has a 14"/350mm throat. It has a Kreg KMS7200 precision fence fitted, including micro adjuster, together these cost over £120. But the original fence comes too. It also has all the original...

    AGS10 3 phase to single phase conversion

    I got up early and set about stripping the saw down for painting. The cast feet and all the labels are off. Next I'll move it downstairs into the barn for sanding and spraying although I have done some sanding already. It's all the little bits that take time, the fence, legs on the extension...

    AGS10 3 phase to single phase conversion

    Last night while the missus was at the pub quiz, I nipped out and mounted the new motor onto the motor plate. This morning I bolted it onto the saw. I put the two belts that came with it on and checked pulley alignment, looks good. I also checked that the motor and it start/run capacitors did...

    Just bought a Viceroy TDS6 short bed

    To be honest, I have only done a couple of small jobs on it, fatherhood, DIY and the day job and finishing off the Roubo bench have got in the way. But I did dust if off the other day and was just about to raise the chisel to the bowl I started months ago when I got a call on the dads taxi...

    Axminster AT25AFS air filter

    Thanks Nick I guess the Chinese Axminster must be a copy. If you ignore the paint and logos you couldn't tell them apart. Even the control panel looks similar. The only difference I can spot is the 3 inner filter "pockets" are divided horizontally in the Jet and vertical in the Axi one. I would...

    Axminster AT25AFS air filter

    There's not much to them, just a tin box with a fan and some cheap filters, cost to build is probably 10 to 20 quid :) Looking at the filter, to me it looks identical to the larger Jet, same physical size, same size fan and filters and all the fixings and catches are in the same place. I'm...

    Axminster AT25AFS air filter

    It's a big un' I'll takeout the internal packaging and test if before getting a mate around to help me dangle it from the ceiling :) Cheers Andy

    AGS10 3 phase to single phase conversion

    I was looking for an AGS an AGS10 one came up at the the right price, then not long afterwards and AGS12 came up and I wanted the bigger saw, so I ended up with both. So the AGS10 must go, I have a 10hp phase converter so I'm happy with single or 3 phase but I know that most AGS10 buyers...

    Axminster AT25AFS air filter

    Must be a different Jet model you was comparing to as this one is quite a bit bigger physically and in terms of motor size and CFM. I was looking at the Record as it gets good reviews and the price is right but I have about 300m3 to filter. I could have bought two I suppose :) I've gone for...

    Axminster AT25AFS air filter

    Has anybody bought one of these? They look almost identical to the Jet AFS-1000B which is £100 more. I wonder if the filters are interchangeable? The inner look slightly different but as the box sizes are almost identical, I wonder...... Cheers Andy
