Thought you would like to know assuming you dont already, Record are holding their 2010 prices till May (ie pre vat increase) according to a brochure I got through today. It came with my new Startrite Morticer \:D/ - Had to get it in somehow.

Gif I know exactly what you mean, I hate changing the bags on the extractor. My second extractor which I bought last year from FOX is much better from an emptying point of view as it has a cloth dust collection bag and the strap is built into the bag. You just position the strap and the bag is...

Cheers Guys, will follow these leads.

Not sure how much use this will be but may be worth tyring SL hardwoods. Have used in the past and sheets were good. Think the price will be about the same though. Think it depends on wehat type of face you want on it (quartersawn etc). As a slight aside, I used MR veneered MDF to make a...

Hi all and seasons greetings, Does anyone know where I can get hold of a 30mm guide bush for a Flex Router (whichI understand are idnetical to the Porter Cable routers). Trying to avoid having to buy a unibase but cannot seem to find a supplier. The flex has a triangle insert which you screw...

I agree. but don't have three phase and don't really understand what I need to get over this hurdle. I know there are numerous strands on here about three phase conversion but still not sure what you need to do. Does seem a great offer though.

Thanks for the advice. I am with you on the SH machine. Where is the best place to find these. Is it simply a case of waiting for them to turn up on ebay (which you can guarantee won't happen when I want one) or are there specialist sites that deal in second hand machines (without charging a...

Thanks guys, did look at this but wasn't sure. Take on board what you say about the clamp positions but that aside are you happy with the clamping pressure for holding the wood in place which seems to be slight concern of one of the reviews (seem to recall someone stating something similar on...

Does anyone have a view on the Record FM25. Is it a good heavy duty machine as it seems or are there better machines on the market ( in peoples opinion) that are better? Have a Delta bench morticer at the moment which has been good but now need something with a bit more oomph and more...

Thanks guyd. I will try setting it up again. Think I have the guides close enough, as you say a piece of paper was used to set these. Will try again with the tracking although this does seem to be running true, the blade is certainly not wandering over the wheel. I take your point over the...

Don't have a problem with chippings as keep chickens so always happy to make lots of chippings/shavings. Hadn't thought of the green bin (well brown bin here) to be honest so will look into that. My problem is saw dust. I tend to cut a fair amount of man-made sheets. I assume this cannot go into...

I am pulling my hair out! Which at my age starts to run the risk of it not growing back. :? About a year or so ago I bought a new Jet JWBS-16 bandsaw with a view to setting up a new workshop in my new house. Due to delays in getting the said workshop up and running I am only now ready to...

Shane - based on that what would you recommend as a good finish?

Yes guys, apologies for the confusion, I had just been looking at a supplier that sold kiln dried waney edge oak that would be wide enough to get a worktop out of it and not that I would keep a waney edge. That said I remember seeing an american kitchen in a book where they had kept a waney...

Still working out my new kitchen and now on worktops. Have been looking at full stave worktops as I think they look much nicer than multi block ones in oak. However, was wondering about using waney edged kiln dried oak boards (ie one continuous piece of wood as a worktop). Has anyone ever done...

Would echo Petes point and make it the exact size. Matresses have a bit of give in them anyway. Learnt this lesson the hard way when i made a new double bed in oak some years ago. Added a bit of space thinking this would be sensible from a bed making point of view and ended up spending a...

Thanks guys for the advice. Jon - nice cabinets, have given me a lot of confidence in what I am doing. As it si a large kitchen I can lose a fair bit on over hanging the face frames without a problem. Jason - really like the proportions and layout of what you have made. I take the point...

Thanks James. Thats good news. Will probably dovetail them and add a drawer front, but not 100% on that yet. First job is of course to make the carcasses! Can see long hours in the workshop :lol: Will be making the out MR MDF.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense but I am just about to start making my new kitchen. We want one which has a face frame on to make the carcass look thicker than just the 18mm it really is and therefore inset rather than overlay the door and drawer fronts. My question is if I do this does this...

Thanks Rob Its a 16x. Looking forward to getting it up and running. Bought it a while ago but had to have some work done to set up a new workshop so now greeting everything up and running. Will let you know how it performs when I use it.
