    Startrite bandsaw 325SB brake jammed on

    When you operate the switch that turns the brake on or off can you hear a clunking sound as the brake engages or releases or is their a buzzing sound ? A buzzing would indicate the brake is stuck ! No sound at all would suggest electronics.

    Hi Rhys, back in the 90's when i was buying / restoring / making and selling pine (as it was the in thing then) i was spraying wax as it was a darn sight quicker than applying with a brush.

    Has the forum been hacked ?

    The old format ain't coming back so we will all have to get used to it , nothing stay's the same forever. My only complaint is why the big space between the paragraphs and all the white space is annoying! Other than that all is OK for me.

    does anyone on here have an eBay shop

    Thanks for the replies. I was thinking about the items on my website, these being large so will be delivered on pallets so don't go missing. The vast audience on eBay would increase sales (hopefully). It would be a lot cheaper than advertising. I know the info i am after is available on the eBay...

    Scum of the earth

    They will still do thousands of pounds worth of damage breaking into a van to find it empty. I remove anything valuable and leave the general tat like screw box/fixings /mastic tubes and a toolbox with general tools inside and then leave the van unlocked. I would rather loose £50 worth of tatt...

    40 yr old apprentice

    Try the lower end auction houses where the house clearance stuff end up, the stuff that does not sell goes to the tip. You will save them the trouble if you can collect any unsold stuff. I did this with a local auction house 30 years ago, i would pop in after every auction to take away any...
