99.9 % agree. cheers jon

I have a Bosch and a festool. The Bosch Gex 150 is a good machine for the money but is a bit over budget at just under £150 http://www.mtmc.co.uk/product.asp?cooki ... P_ID=34594 might be worth considering its little brother which is cheaper but i havent used one...

Theres a good thread running on woodwork uk doing a similar thing to what you are proposing http://www.woodworkuk.co.uk/forum/viewt ... f=9&t=3852 cheers Jon

I dont think you will regret your purchase. The standard dust hood is a folded metal tray which would be quite easy to fabricate from birch ply or mdf. You could also get the part from sedgwick themselves but they can be a bit pricey on parts but worth a phonecall to find out the price. Cheers jon

looks good brad cheers jon

seconded :D cheers jon

Just a quick post to say thanks to Sarah and Simon for hosting the bash and Tom and Mark for all there efforts. Really enjoyed the day and meeting other forum members and the beers and curry afterwards :D And also a big thanks to Doug for driving and his hospitality. cheers jon

Auctions are always good for a bargain or 2. I have bagged a wadkin spindle moulder for £240 a multico morticer for £150 but the best bargain was this 3metre pad sander which was £43 but costs about 4.5k new :D cheers jon

looks very good cheers jon

I have its bigger brother the 12inch MB model and it has performed admirably for the last 10 years or so since i bought it. The smaller model is of a similar build quality and should keep going for years. The sedgies are slightly different to the normal combo machines in that the tables dont...

I have made some templates that you can flip over to machine with the grain. These are used with a spindle moulder and bearing but could easily be used on a router table or handheld router. used to make the curved parts of these doors cheers jon

i think i may have a few measured wrong cockups in the workshop so will check the sizes for you. The cost of having a couple made up though should not be too much from a selaed unit manufacturer about £10 a unit for a 600x600 unit i would think if you dont need K glass. cheers jon

I think it is quite possible to be a member of both forums and get along with everybody. There are quite a few members who make positive contributions on both forums. I dont really get the need to push this us and them attitude all the time. cheers jon

Most of the stuff I use is all green up to 15mm and then 18mm upwards it is usually green in the middle and brown on the faces about 2-3mm into the board. I think most of it is usually medite brand and what it is is burnt into the edge. cheers jon

Gorrilla glue has a longer open and cure time than most PU glues you will probably need to clamp for about 2 hours and be able to machine after about 4 hours. It is a pretty good glue though and excellent for oily and exotic woods. cheers jon

Hi Steve if you have some time you could experiment with the spring loaded touch drawer latch from hafele http://www.hafele.co.uk/Hafele35a1/imag ... _2-178.pdf I have used them in the past on some drawers with side mounted runners but i dont see why they shouldnt work with the grass self...

I never bother with contact adhesives and use a D3 PVA or titebond to glue it down with. It depends on how big a panel you are laminating but a simple caul could be made or it is extremley easy if you have access to a vacuum bag or a platten press for doing big panels. cheers Jon

Hi and welcome. You dont mention what type of blocks you are using so i presume you have either whitehill or leitz type blocks. I have whitehill blocks on my TM tenoner and to fit the cutters you just have to push the disposable blades fully back into the block and I just centre the height of...
