i am a big fan of the Reisser Screws and work well on both solid and board materials. No piloting needed and more importantly hard ever cause splitting. Don't think there is much between Reisser and Spax myself but as Reisser are cheaper I go for those ( I use a lot!!!!). Kev

Sorry guys have not been around for a week or so, just wanted to thank you for the really helpful advice which helped immensely to sort it and working liking a dream. Kev

Welcome Jim, Sounds like a great idea. Can't wait to see the first post, Kev

Have made something slightly similar before for a swimming pool which had a raised brick wall around the outside of it. From memory we used Balau which is good for external use (think they use it for external decking). Pig to work with though but did look nice when finished. For that they...

Hi all, I have a Jet JWBS-16 bandsaw which I use regularly but mainly for straight cuts, ripping etc so nearly always has a 19mm blade in it. However have a project which requires curved work so replaced blade for a 6mm blade. Blade changed no problem and tensioned fine. Tracked the blade to...

They are similar lights to mine and are very good as the cover diffuses the light and makes it easier to keep dust free. My workshop is about 7m x 5m with a high ceiling so have two double lights along the top and then five singles along three sides on the wall. I would think what you are...

Had a similar issue when I did my workshop a few years back. FWIW I had a consumer unit added in the workshop itself (same as you, lighting circuit, sockets and a few 16amp sockets for different machines). Mine was then wired back to the main circuit board in the house with suitable ampage (is...

Have mine on a mobile station that I can pull out when needed and put back when not in use. Rather than folding arms I just use mine with adjustable roller supports. Find these work well. Kev

Thanks Guys. Did them yesterday. Ended up doing them to one side for the simple reason that as these are new windows I am using plastic parting beads which sit in a plastic channel (improved draught protection) which may have caused problems (if ever need to get to the pockets) if I had cut them...

Thanks Roger.

Hi All Currently making new box frame windows for my house and had a question about cutting the pockets. When cutting out of the pulley stile do you make the vertical cut up the middle of the parting bead groove or to one side. Cant work out if there is a correct way here or if it even matters...

Hi all, Anyone know where I can purchase spare parts for my Flex router. Think they are the same as the porter cable routers but cant seem to find anyone with a google search. There are a few there but cant seem to find the model I am after. Basically I need a new screw in cover for the...

Just to echo others always try and go and select it your self, or at least speak to them and explain that you need some decent stuff. Had a similar issue a week or so ago, had a load of kiln dried oak delivered for a job which had to come from head depot so couldn't see it. Had specified prior...

Might show this topic to my wife, at least she wont feel like she is the only one waiting for projects to be finished!! :P

It's the little moral victories like that that make life worth living !!!

Hi all, Just fitting a couple of stair cases as a favour for someone and trying to get my head round spindle spacings. As I understand it you should not be able to push a 100 mm sphere though the gap. So maximum gap 99mm, is that correct. If you have a turned spindle does this mean that you...

Hi all, Have just taken purchase of a SD300 p/t and need to wire it in but having trouble trying understand the requirements. Anyone out there who has one, am I right in thinking that it needs a 16A supply. If so what size cable do I need to purchase. I had assume that 2.5mm would not be...

Also needing a new router for my router table. Using a flex router at the moment which is a great router, IMHO, for hand use but not so versatile in a table. As I have a routalift and having read this thread would you agree that the Triton may be better than the Trend as don't need the above...

Thanks guys. Didnt realise it would be that simple, these things normally have complicated names , who'd have thought two-way drawer would have been it - very cunning! I will now drawer a veil over this (see what I did there :D ) Kev

Hi all, I have a commission for a coffee table and the client wants a draw in it that she can open from both sides of the table and be on runners. Have seen these on tables before but does anyone know where you can get them from or what they are called. I assume they are basicvally drawere...
