    The Panasonic range are the best I have used so far. Edit . I went and had a look after posting, I guess this list in bestselling order says it all. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Cordles ... d_i=560820 Alan

    Planer thicknesser problem, any ideas?

    Tony said, Tony you are quite correct, the later model 2600 you have doesn't have the disengaging lever like the 260 or the bigger brothers of your machine. Try cleaning and waxing the bed as the others advise. Alan

    Planer thicknesser problem, any ideas?

    Hi Tony I don't have the answer without seeing it, but I am happy to come and have a look to see if I can identify the problem. Just a thought you have engaged the lever in the correct position to give drive to the rollers haven't you? silly question I know but... Alan

    Low Angle smoothing planes

    Absolutely perfect sense, that's what it's all about at the end of the day. there will always be opinions about these things, but until they are tried by the individual the realisation of what can be acheived ultimately by the right plane is very difficult to imagine and so easy to dismiss as...

    What type of wood is this?

    Olly said I have seen this piece of wood in the flesh and although it doesn't do this on the face, it does do it on the side in the interlocking grain manner you would expect from sapele. I have just made a gun rack from a board of sapele and It is very similar. Alan

    230v 60hz ?????

    From 1 January 2004 the mains supply should be 230V (-6%, +10%), 50 Hz (±1%). ie a range of 216.2 - 253V This replaces the UK's former specification which was 240V ±6% (ie a range of 225.6 - 254.4V) Variations should still be anticipated in some areas as the voltage will drop during periods of...

    Sliding Tables on TS's?

    Accurate repeatability. As in building a cabinet. Safer and quicker. No disrespect intended Tom but the sliding table on your jet is not in the Panel saw league. When I aspired to that saw I looked at one and thought the solid wing and mitre guide was a better proposition. I also had a Scheppach...

    Cool Blocks

    They are a graphite/tufnol material that I had in my previous machine. Axminster used to do them but appear not to now. Woodcraft in USA who ship here do them or alternatively make your own from oil soaked maple or Lignum vitae naturally oily, if it's good enough for ships bearings it's good...

    UPDATE - The hardwood stash, and meeting Wed. evening

    Thanks Tony, Whilst always up for a pint, I think the East of England section should take a breath and give ourselves time to organise something that most of us can attend in a week or two's time. good effort on your part shame it hasn't panned out. You know you're always welcome here for a...

    Xcalibur 806 specification query

    Welcome to the forum Chris. The sliding table illustrated here http://www.europac.tw/01_Woodworking_Ma ... saw_11.htm is similar, if not in fact the same one repainted. They do two options, the one woodford choose to stock I don't know. Hopefully that'll give you some idea. I think you are...

    Grabbits, which one?

    I think if the screw is rubbish enough to break then the chances of these working is remote, but I haven't tried so is just supposition. What I would suggesst is one of these http://www.rutlands.co.uk/cgi-bin/psProdDet.cgi/DKWSE1 and a plug cutter. Alan

    Sharpening LN Chisels

    You'll find it'll be absolutely ages before you will want to go near a grinding wheel with those chisels. A touch up on a diamond stone to rehone the edge from time to time is all you'll need to do and polish the back. Grinding removes a fair bit of metal and at those prices you don't want to do...
