Same as above, have my dust extractor, shop vac and air filter on remote sockets all controlled from one remote. Turn on/off as needed. The Energenie ones on amazon are 13amp. Some are only 10amp so watch out.

So I recently took a punt on a Bostich GF33PT-U sold as faulty on eBay. I have one already so would be great for spares if I couldn't get it working. Seller didn't exactly make it clear what was wrong but spare parts were available to buy. On receipt of the nail gun turned out the piston which...

Hi! Thanks for the kind comments. Ive been busy making it 'look nice'. Ill be in contact with those three who have shown interest shortly. Hope these are ok to post on here,

Hi, I have seen a few posts on bandsaw dust extraction recently and thought I should really add a port to my two Inca bandsaws. Currently they have ports in the opposite corner from where it really should be. So here is my take on it: The adapter is 3d printed and made from five separate...

I sliced some longer lengths (20cm) of LV on the band saw. Cut each piece down to length (2-3cm depending on location). then sanded to fit in each slot. Cut the 45/90 using a Japanese pullsaw and 45 box mitre block. If you have one a disk sander set at 45 would do.

I have two of these bandsaws and have gone down the route of making my own from Lignum Vitae as shed9 mentioned. Works well. Make them long as possible then clean up the faces now and then on a disk sander set at the correct angle.

Could you try masking off and staining after? Not sure how much the stain would bleed under though. Can get that green tape (frog tape) that is supposed to seal when wet.

I was having excessive vibrations when running the machine. Time to investigate! First problem i saw was the lower pulley that is attached to the motor was at an odd angle. It turned out there are two pivot points in which the motor can pivot off. Seems I had it high on one side and low on...

Thanks! Regarding the pipe. Your right a solid tube would have been best for the extraction. I just used what I had on hand really! With the flex pipe i have a little more room for error and 'flexibility' getting the two sides to align. I have a Wanhao i3 Plus. Approx 200mm print size in all...

Thanks for the heads up on the bad wiring! Sorry! Thanks for the helpful links. Hopefully now I have wired it correctly. I have it wired as below. I did some research and for 240 single phase it seems that it is a good idea to loop the neutral so that the "three poles are monitored for over...

I modified my sander to accept wide paper. http://skinnerdesigns.blogspot.com/2017 ... ation.html I have found that Mirka jepuflex sandpaper works very very well. Ran hundreds of end grain boards through it. Dont go for any brand of net sandpaper though. It stretches on the drum. Paper backed...

Hopefully this simple wiring diagram will help. Image removed due to incorrect setup. Will update once I have rewired as suggested.

Thanks! Sure can. Hopefully I'm allowed to link so here are the ones I fitted: So the switch is rated to the motor make sure you choose the correct amperage. ELECTRIC MOTOR STARTER DIRECT ONLINE DOL SINGLE PHASE My planer runs on a 13amp supply. I had a few 16amp rotary switches around so...

Picked up this Multico B2 Planer on Ebay. Thought I would document the progress as with my Multico TH1 Its a 6" Planer, 3/4 hp, Reasonably good condition. Mostly just needs a clean up. List of jobs: Complete strip down De-grease Paint strip Paint Polish tables and fence. Add dust extraction...

I can’t say it works on all woods only used walnut myself. Saw the process on a guitar making forum. Basically the wet sanding create a paste of saw dust then the egg keeps it in the grain. Bonus is it uses the same saw dust in the area surrounding to fill gaps.

I have used the old fashioned way, using egg whites. Worked very well for me. https://skinnerdesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2 ... html?q=egg

Any lubrication that way, I doubt would last long. Get the guides a paper width spaced away and you should be good

I brought some lignum vitae wood and made a few of my own guide blocks. The original ones were short and the original owner had not set them up right. Very cheap way of doing it. Plus its self lubricating wood. Used to be used for ship bearings I believe. They do not last as long as metal ones...

I have 2 screwfix Erbuaer 1/2 routers for my router tables. Also have one for handheld use. They have been great. £99 in total, sometimes they drop to £80 on special. Very powerful, only thing I can fault is the fine adjustment has gone on one of my routers...

I have recently needed to sharpen a few planer blades for a few machines that I have. As I like to do things myself I had a look at some diy versions like the ones below. However, I don't like the hardwork and time it takes, plus I need to be bale to remove material quickly as I have a few...
