Though my SCM was fork lifted into my VW Transporter, I unloaded it single handed. These things can be done easily and safely, with some thought.

Does anybody have the FC Tools fc32 rail plunge jig? I have one of Frank’s MK V rail squares and a repetitive stop, for my Mafell rails, so I know the quality of product; I’ve no doubt that the fc32 jig is worth £85, in terms of cost of manufacture. But I’m struggling to justify buying one...

I would tend to agree, however as I said above, whilst I am able to make one, my time is short, and I would rather use it on existing projects/tasks

Yes, it’s hickory that I’m looking at. I could make them, of course. But I’d rather spend the time working on the numerous projects already underway. Looking at the grain is a good start, in theory. But the images presented tend to be rather generic, even if they’re. Is sufficient resolution to...

I’ve a few hammers in need of new handles. Naturally, I’ve cast my eyes over what the internet can offer, but I’m hoping for a steer toward a trusted source of good quality items. One of the handles I need is an 18” one for my framing hammer; the only one I’ve found is a stiletto replacement...

If I we’re buying now, I’d get one of the Makita battery powered ones, as I have the batteries already. However I’ve been very happy with my Husqvarna petrol brush cutter. It’s made short work of everything I’ve thrown at it. It’s in need of a tune up now, but it has always run well. I’m going...

Sealey extractor now SOLD

Which begs the question, why not buy a something that is of proven, lasting quality, such as a Startrite 275!

Should anyone be reading this, with a view to choosing a P/T with the ability to cut rebates, my Dominion ES (12x7”) also has this feature.

Do you know anyone with a ferret? They used to be used to wire aeroplanes…

Though it is still reliant upon the accuracy with which the geometry is transferred to the material; the straightness of an edge, the thickness of a pencil line…

Set the mitre fence square to the blade

It’s that sometimes vital few inches that I use ratchet straps for. No more than that.

Yes, ratchet cargo straps. You’ll need some anyway, to secure it in the van.

Yes, that’s what I used to load and unload my Dominion. It can take a bit of tooling and froing, to get the machine high enough and far enough into the vehicle, but it’s not difficult. My lift came with a spreader bar, which makes the rigging a little easier. Also, by using sufficiently strong...

Another P1cc owner here, but even so… If one’s square if of unknown accuracy, how can one even begin to understand why a cut appears not to be square, never mind a portion blame?

Moving it much depends upon your physical capacities and ingenuity! You must of course consider both loading and unloading. I’ve moved many machines, including a P/T of about the same weight, and my current one which is 500kg, by myself. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend that! But needs must…...

If you can’t get or make the rollers, I’d suggest trying to find a home for the extended bar; I’ve often come across orphaned bits for these (and other) saws, and I’ve come across people searching for the bits! Indeed, I might have the standard bars for that saw, somewhere.
