    Low cost DIY Router Table lift facility

    I spoke to woodfan and they won't import into the UK. So ordered the ENJOYWOOD GD7 PRO Router Lift along with a new dewalt router. Does anyone know the rough size of the top on the Enjoywood router lift?

    Which Coffee Machine?

    I lived with a hario dripper and a hand grinder for a few years.. it makes good black coffee. Okay if it's just you who drinks coffee, but hand grinding for more than one person is too slow.. . I finally gave in and bought a second-hand beans to cup machine.. I now drink 5x more coffee...

    Low cost DIY Router Table lift facility

    I like the look of the woodfans version as it takes the larger 89mm router motor and therefore larger motor and collet, apart from that it looks very similar to the enjoywood version. Just emailed them to see if they would ship to the UK. Interesting comment about clamping to the motor...

    Low cost DIY Router Table lift facility

    I have a metabo that doesn't have a round body. I also regularly use the router so don't want to bolt it upside down to the underside of my panel saw. Normally in a router table you would use a much larger router that takes 1/2 cutters and not a trim router because you need both power and...

    Building Oak gates

    I've never used a frame saw.. It does look like the ideal tool.I suspect I might regret buying oak halfway through the cut. If I'm not careful it will be cheaper buying them. I'm visiting a couple of saw mills tomorrow so will price up the wood.

    Pillar drill recommendations (240v, single phase)

    My Bosch PBD40s has been great.. I'm going to have to put the dial guage on the chuck is now and see what the runout is.. I suspect it's less than most of my old bent drills.. but I do want to buy one of these UJK drill guide

    Building Oak gates

    Does anyone know if you can buy the curved bit of wood on a devon gate? Like a *****, I typed in gate post into google. Does this part have another name? I would love to cut them from a 100mm thick oak sleeper.. but I don't have a band saw, This leaves me with extra long router bits or extra...

    Wonky Axminster saw

    Finally all working :-) This is afterwards with new ntn bearings and a new blade spindle.. Not perfect but a lot lot better.. First cut with some scrap wood. (photos below) Anyone recommend a blade for plywood, also something with big teeth for ripping through some oak sleepers.. Does...

    Wonky Axminster saw

    Yes, but it was on some injection moulding tooling and the repair was more than I paid for the saw. I've managed to get hold of a replacement shaft on next-day delivery :-) so happy, Also ordered a set of NTN bearings gives me a fighting chance of getting this kitchen finished before Christmas.

    Wonky Axminster saw

    I'll keep my fingers crossed, massive thanks for the tip, Just emailed them. With a part number BURT007830 I can guess who makes the saw There is some damage to the casting I think it's the pivot for the riving knife so not critical, The bearing support looks okay to me.. (PS needs cleaning...

    Wonky Axminster saw

    Replacing the bearings is the easy bit.. They look to be sealed and have no wet lubrication system. I'll order some SKF / NSK sealed bearings before rebuilding it.... even if the current bearings look and feel fine. I suspect the front bearing failed and seized, the saw then wore away a chunk...

    Wonky Axminster saw

    Not a good day. I knew it wasn't right... There was a lot more play in the axle when I took the belt off. Guess the belt does a good job and hiding the play. I'm not sure how this happens... Bearings feel okay.. Not great.

    Brace bit in a regular, electric or pillar drill ?

    Just finished routing pipes through a lot of joists with the Dewalt version... £16 for 3 so not cheap They are a bit rough, but fast.... I put it in a good quality hand battery-powered drill driver. I'm not sure they are any better than standard drill bits, I was working at the top of a...

    Wonky Axminster saw

    I'll check, I would expect to see some movement in the pulley if it was the belt pulling it to one side. Assuming it's not the belt, I hope to take the top off today. A local machine shop got back to me and they seem quite happy machining it flat, they suggested surface grinding it.. but I...

    Wonky Axminster saw

    The bearings feel fine.. I can't feel any movement in the blade, or in the arbour. The runout is also repeatable, eg 6 o clock is out by 0.4mm

    Wonky Axminster saw

    Just spoken to Darren at Axminster uk, If I do need to replace parts C5, C6 and C7 they don't have them in stock and there on a 6 month leadtime. The Bearings C8 are in stock... I used to work for Evolution Power Tools at least we kept spares...

    Wonky Axminster saw

    That's at the arbour.. I've just put a brand new 12" blade on and the runout is 0.7mm... So a long way out. I can't seem to find anything on adjusting the arbour, plenty on adjusting the sliding fence. Looking at the diagram courtesy of Axminster, looks like parts 5 and 7 need machining or...

    Wonky Axminster saw

    Hi All I've just bought a second hand Axminster table saw MJ12-1600MK11. A little shocked as when I place a dial guage on the arbour I have 0. 2mm total runout. This will get a lot worse when I put on a large blade. It's the first time I've bought any Axminster tools, I can't see any damage to...
