There seems to be such a difference of opinion of whether the EU guard is better/safer than the US one. Also with the EU one I've seen people advise to pass the work underneath the guard and lift hands over the top while other people recommend making retracting the guard so that it only covers...

Hi, As a corollary to my previous post about buying bits for rounding over, I've been using an ovolo bit like this one to do some rounding over. It's far from ideal. It seems there is a sweet spot which takes ages to find where a nice round over can be achieved that doesn't leave a ridge at...

Thanks, all. Reply from Ray for future visitors from Google:- "There should be a brass plug with a concave end (TRA032) and a spring (TRA133). Both are available for £2.23 plus postage. When fitting the plug, ensure that the concavity is correctly aligned to grip the shaft. There is only one...

Hi I bought a used Triton TRA001 on eBay. Seems the seller was a bit less than honest in his description. There are a few problems but the one that worries me the most is that the depth indicator cannot be locked in place with the knob. When removing the knob it seems that there should be...

Ah. Some more reading indicates this is not the case, I just need to make sure I don't contact that bottom levelling out part to avoid creating a quirk.

Aha - is this my answer (see pic) i.e that I need to adjust the bearing? Or is that for bits which are both ovolo and round over bits? I don't remember having any difficulty using someone else's rounding over bits but with my own 1/4" bit I get the quirk described on that page! Thanks!

I'm looking for a rounding over bit to put a simple round over on some boards which are 1" thick. I didn't know this was so complicated...! I have a 1/4" router and a 1/2" router in a table. I've seen a set of 1/2" router bits at Wickes for £11. I was suspicious as for 12 bits that seems...

Thank you! If that's what it seems to be, I am delighted! So hard to Google for...I guess you'd need to know DeWalt took over Elu and that the models are often v. similar.

Did you ever come up with an attachment? I have this problem! :o

Got the hose with a SIP/Draper style 50L extractor. Now I've found the Charnwood 100mm quick coupling!

Delighted to find this in the thread!

Thanks, Mick - but they appear to fit a particular hose. I did notice them and was initially optimistic!

I'm trying to get my beds correctly set and it's not fun. I have a Veritas alu straight edge and I have found these grub screws (underneath the bed, right?) but I haven't been able to loosen them yet. I'm worried that the beds themselves are bent because the PT has been lifted by them in the...

Hi I've got a bandsaw, P/T and table saw that all have a 100mm DX port. I then have a HVLP vac with a 100mm hose which I would like to connect to these tools. Problem is, as both hose and port are at 100mm on the P/T and table saw, it's very difficult to fit the hose onto the port. This isn't...

I've poped some of the above on my cast iron beds and, to be honest, I'm not that impressed. The tops aren't much better than before! I used a new dispoable foam brush to apply and left to dry for one day. Any other experiences?

Thanks Jacob. You're right. I guess what I was looking for was whether or not this is to be expected with the tolerances of the Axi TS-200 or if I should expect slightly better. I'll take a picture to illustrate what I mean. But yeah, you're right. Thing is I was being careful and there were two...

Thanks Tom. I'll try and source a decent block plane! :)

Hi Tommo, I am a bit surprised at the difference in the height amongst the pieces is all. I was expecting to finish off the saw, yes. Would you prefer I expected to use a shooting board or something else? Thanks

Yes, I made a squaring cut on my SCMS and then checked with a square for true afterwards.

Blade thickness is 2.5mm. What I'm wondering is if when I got to the last piece (which was almost correctly dimensioned, due to the use of CBDesigner to minimise waste) I wonder if that was cross cut from the wrong face. I'd be certain that's what went wrong were it not for the fact there is...
