This would be the tools i would want to start making kitchens and bedrooms profitably from day 1 and estimated used/new cost. Essential Tools Sliding Table saw with scoring blade minimum 2.4m carriage used for breaking down sheet goods into carcase parts and cutting of solid wood for doors...

Cheers Guys . I am thinking of going for a 3m flipstop setup. My idea at the moment is too build a 3m bench to the left hand side of the saw and a 1.5m bed to the right. Good idea with the sacrificial inserts colin will incorporate them into my design. Dangermouse i have the original manual and...

Ive been using the fuji for nearly 10 years and cant fault it really. The cheapest one now is a little over your budget http://www.axminster.co.uk/fuji-fuji-mi ... rod846031/ . The Apollo ones are a similar quality but the guns are not quite as nice as the fuji ones imo. cheers Jon

It never ceases to amaze me how you can find fault with anything that doesnt fit within your very blinkered views on how something should be done. Very nice box by the way cheers Jon

I did know that i can read but as the majority of contributers and readers here are from the uk the point is very valid. cheers Jon

Its probably also worth pointing out that using an unlimited block in a spindle moulder even with a powerfeed is illegal according to the hse. The non limited blocks are really only supposed to be used in planer moulders with security locked guards. cheers Jon

Have you stopped using the disposable blade system roger? cheers Jon

A sad loss rip Roy Jon

Ive gone back to using U F resins for veneering and laminating. The Borden UL39 resin mixed with the UH21 hardener gives excellent results and cures fast in around an hour in summer and probably 2 hours in winter depending upon temperature. If youve got a heated press it can be seconds...

I sometimes use one on my router table. Carefull positioning of the powerfeed from the spindle allows it to be used and is usefull for climb cutting to get clean mouldings on difficult timbers. Ive got the same table but branded ryobi like Dicks I think you would be pushed for space to get a...

Thanks for the replies. I will post some updates as i get the tools cleaned up. I will probably get my saw doctor to give them a going over to start with then maybe take the plunge on sharpening them myself after that. Jimi ive seen your thread on the 43 which is very impressive. i will get it...

I wouldnt use paint as it will soon mark with use. I prefer to use egger boards which i have found to be the best quality and are available in a huge range of colours see here http://zoom.egger.com/uk-eng/zoom-dekor ... G_HTML.php i usually use mfc as my saw cuts it cleanly and is a fair bit...

Hi Adam my grandad was an engineer so i assume most of the tools were ones he got from my great grandad who was a very keen woodworker cheers Jon

Unfortunately my last remaining grandad died just before christmas and having just sold the house i found some bits whilst clearing it. First up some saws which need a bit of tlc the dovetail saw is by lloyd davies of sheffield and cuts as nicely as my new veritas saw. The middle tenon saw is...

I spoke to jase and he said it was a problem with the host. But I reckon he pressed a wrong button. Cheers Jon

Probably down to your technique i would think, the machine itself is extremely accuarate. I agree with Bob about them being a bit a bit fragile. Im on my second one now the fences twisted and then the gearbox got stipped but in fairness it did a lot of work. cheers Jon

You can buy tracks for tambours from hafele which might be worth considering http://www.hafele.com/gb/en/external/bl ... tpage=8.94 cheers Jon

Are you sure you need a bandsaw a huge circular saw and a jig is used in this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8jE5yVQZLI It may be possible to make a jig with which to use a hand held circular saw to do the cuts cheers Jon
