    AWHBS250N Band Saw

    Steve, I have another manufacturer's equivalent to this, if you can afford to buy anything bigger my advice would be to do so. Its not a bad machine once its set up correctly but the 10" throat can be painfully limiting in what you may want to do with a bandsaw, it also could do with some more...

    Table saw restoration - worth doing?

    Having given a bit of thought about this I might buy a cheap second hand contractor saw and cull the motor from that to use on this one, that way I'll have the necessary power and I wont have to worry about electrics. DickM - would be great if you had any reviews on this thing or any further...

    Home Made Table Saw

    Its worth watching a couple of the other related videos, especially the one about alignment and Mathias's conclusions of the whole thing.

    Another Table Saw Plea for Help Please

    There was an Xcalibur contractor saw on Ebay a few weeks ago being sold by Woodford themselves but has since been removed - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Xcalibur-10-i ... true&rt=nc I spoke to Roy about it as I was quite interested in one and was advised it was the only one of the non-cabinet type...

    Table saw restoration - worth doing?

    nathandavies - there is a little bit of a gold tint to it and eventually I'll try to find some paint to match rather than use a boring "machine grey". EtV - as Wizard says its how it always was, the motor can move along its mount by an inch or so but nowhere near enough. I think a new plan is...

    Table saw restoration - worth doing?

    Hi all, Thanks for the replies so far. Wizard - yes I do have the cast iron top which is in an equally good condition as the rest of the saw, I've done a quick check on how flat it is and I cant find any high/low spots at all. Its a shame that it doesn't have the standard 3/4" mitre slots but...

    Table saw restoration - worth doing?

    Hi all, I wonder if I can call upon those who are in the know about old power tools… Earlier this week I picked up this seeming old table saw: It’s a Royal brand as per the pictures and despite its appearance its in a remarkably good working condition. Sadly the internet whilst having a...

    Workshop space..... How low can you go?

    I am in a single garage but I've never let that restrict me though it helps to have some kind of strategy for tool storage, mobility etc. Plenty of online resources on this subject.

    Dust seperator

    Hi Jinx, By the sound of it I think you have the same machine (mine is a SIP) that I use to power my chip cyclone - if so then you may be disappointed if you do try and plumb it to some 100mm soil pipe. I don’t think it’s the kind of machine to cope with that type of setup as its not powerful...

    Home made wooden vice VIDEO

    I do like John Heisz's videos, some of his shop built tools are among the best I've come across.

    routers

    Mark, There is no timescale as such but I'd say you set your own pace with it - I watched the videos a few times and thought it was a one weekend job but the more I watched it and reviewed the plans the more I thought it'll take as long as was needed to ensure 100% build accuracy. If you've...

    routers

    I bought the plan to build one around a Draper 45368 several months ago but haven't got round to it yet, based on what you can potentially do with one of these I'm looking forward to doing so.

    Axminster Basingstoke

    I got there just after 8.30 this morning thinking there wouldn't be anyone there - wrong! About 30 people already waiting outside, the doors were opened 20mins earlier than advertised. It filled up really quick and by the time I got out around 9:15 with goods + goody bag the car park was...

    Spare parts fro Flex/porter cable router.

    Your Flex router looks a near match to my PC 7529 however I'm not sure there's anyone outside the US that will carry parts, sadly PC disappeared from the UK years ago.

    Axminster Basingstoke

    I was going to go in before work for a mooch but my boss may have wondered where I was at 9am so went afterwards, its a decent layout without cramming it full of stationary tools or aisles of tools, a dedicated large machine area towards back (there were about 5 guys struggling to assemble what...

    Triton router not working

    Yes as devonwoody says have a look at the switch for dust build-up, I've had this a few times over the years so its now my first point of investigation when nothing seems obvious.
