Does it have to be nylon? Strongest filament I could print them in would be PETG if thats any use

Appreciate the feedback guys, hopefully you're finding them more useful than the laser. Any problems just give me a shout

Thanks for all the advice, those drying sheds look amazing! Mine will be far more "rustic" shall we say... The timber I bought was sawn after the log had been felled and left for around a year or so. As a result, the majority of the timber does have some spalt in varying amounts. My primary...

Would something like a builders fungicidal wash be suitable? I'm particularly worried about the beech as I know how susceptible to spalting that is.

Perfect, I'll have a read through

Hi all, I'll be picking up some freshly sawn slabs of ash and beech next week. I've been googling tips on how go about air drying the timber but a lot of the info online seems to come from the US. As climate will have a massive impact on the process I was hoping to get some pointers on what to...

Much as I would like to, since I dont own one I couldn't guarentee my design would work. Took quite a few iterations to get the design and angle for the LED to work. I would however advocate the usefulness of 3D Printers, they're pretty cheap now so with a bit of learning you could make your...

A valid point (y)

If you were looking directly at this one, I would be more concerned about getting a saw blade through the face rather than damaging my eyesight! o_O;)

My Dewalt is a class 2 as well but it is a good 5 years old now. The LED i'm using certainly seems powerful enough, heat might become an issue if you go too high with power output. The Aluminium casing on this one should help disapate a lot of the heat too, its designed as a cabinet light after...

Heres a side by side comparison of my old dewalt and the bosch, both outside in daylight, albeit overcast daylight.

Many thanks! just waiting on the LEDs to be delivered then I'll get it posted out (y)

Hi PerryGunn, You're correct its an LED light, its an off the shelf IP65 rated mini cabinet light from a reputable brand, I mod the casing slightly as well as adding the correct two pin connector for attaching it to the saw. Power consumption is 1W and lifespan is 70000 hours. It works fine in...

A search for bosch shadow line on a popular online auction site may turn up something.

The LED housing is 3D printed using a model I designed in Fusion 360 so you would need a printer to make it. As I'm a new member I'm not allowed to advertise or sell on here yet but I am doing so elsewhere.

Whilst the laser is functional and fully adjustable as you say, I guess it comes down to personal preference. I prefer the shadow line as it never needs to be adjusted for accuracy, since the blade itself is the point of reference.

Hi all, So I recently bought the Bosch GCM 12 GDL as I'm building a workshop and the small footprint to the rear of the machine really appealed to me, however I'm coming from a dewalt and I missed the shadow line light system it uses for accurate cut placement, 100% accurate every time. I saw...
