I think that drawing isn't why you'd get the jaws will have V's in them so you'll put a corner in each. If you do that then you'll end up with another corner of the blank outside of the V and getting pushed. I would draw what I mean to illustrate it but if I'm honest it's too much like hard...

They do work well. Aldi / Lidl do a pack of 3 or 4 from time to time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm just Stu on there! Are you talking Disco3 or Disco3Club either way I'm just Stu. I assume you're the same Biskit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I too was going to say consider a track saw. I've got a single garage and a small Ax TS200 (with side table and sliding table) and it's too big to try and use in the space for sheet goods. It's ok for cross cutting but so is my mitre saw. I would suggest getting a track saw and then see if you...

I can see the logic in two. If you have an oblong rather than square blank then two jaws will mean you'll hit the centre whereas 4 will potentially mean you'll have jaws putting pressure on the side and if it's only just off square then it could well apply pressure to the edge of the corner...

My bench is currently 2 x 18mm MDF boards, however I'm going down the MFT style slab route so I can use a lot more clamping options as well as my Parf Dogs. http://www.multifunctionslab.com/

please could you send me details as well. I'm looking for one for Scouts.

I've not bought any so can't vouch for them but Axminster have their own brand of clamps now that look similar to a lot of the Bessy ones.

Thanks - that makes sense Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Marcros - that's looks interesting and is certainly easier than I thought it would be. I had visions of forges, anvils and milling machines! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I too would be concerned about it over heating but it's good to see it doesn't. I'd probably be keen on putting one or two small computer fans at the exit to help pull the warm air out. Especially when the vac isn't running but you've still got residual hot air and a hot motor inside. I guess it...

I currently drill pen blanks with my drill press but it's not as accurate as id like and the idea of pen jaws is appealing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alas I think I need the router first! I'm not intending to get a Leigh jig. I do quite fancy one, but unless I start getting into fine woodworking I'll probably stick with domino joints!

Do you have an example based on the Axminster range? That would solve the issue of having to look for an adapter. Would these do: http://www.axminster.co.uk/100mm-spigot-jaws-810067

Two related questions: I've got an Axminster 100 chuck with C Jaws. I've got into pen turning and would like to get the Pen Jaws that Record make. Is there any way of using these on my Axi chuck? Also I'm going to have a go a making a Salt and Pepper Mill, I'm thinking that I drill a 25mm hole...

I used one of these: It's meant to be used to turn off DVD players etc when you turn off the TV. I use it so that it turns on the vac when a tool is powered on. Mine has actually stopped working but I think it's because I had all of my machines plugged into it. I've now gone for a remote...

I suspect it's because the Triton base comes as an accessory kit with some guide bushes but is about £70. So the triton base is cheaper and will allow you to just buy the guide bush you need rather than all of them. I resisted buy the kit and thought I could put £70 towards the OF1400?(which...

It does seem fundamentally wrong to me that you buy something and then have to set about making it fit for purpose. When I buy a car I don't expect to have to start by servicing the engine. The other thing that gets me is that you need a reasonable amount of knowledge in order to "fettle" these...

If I was doing it I'd have sprayed it. Especially if overspray wasn't an issue. I went to paint some Tongue and groove MRMDF in the summer did about 12" square before I drove to Screwfix and bought a sprayer. Best £50 I've spent in a long time! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
