Morris, I'd be really grateful if you can let me know how you get on with the process - i'm still in the market for a PT myself and see a lot of the Scheppach's coming up for sale, but have read that they are b*ggers to get set up. At the moment I've been quite wary about the 260 CI model...

Hello folks, I am gradually gathering the kit together for my workshop and have now decided that if i want to get on with some projects then i should lay out on a planer/thicknesser. I have a duplicate post running in the For Sale.Wanted in case there are people who are looking to sell -...

Fantastic - what with the additional photo's and Bob very kindly recreating the designs we all have something to work from here. I doubt I will get a chance to start these for a couple of weeks (oh damn you Six Nations....ahem) but once i make a start i will also stick some pictures up. Once...

Thanks very much all - JPT, the grain does look good and a great finish. I'll get over there this weekend if it stops raining and have a look - i think there may be some apple branches too, so if its thin stuff, at least I will have a sweet-smelling fire. Thanks for the advice all.

I have been offered some lilac wood to burn on my stove - I've not yet collected it so have no idea what sort of size, i guess pretty small diameters but may be wrong, time will tell if i ever get round there to get it. What may motivate me is if im told that it may be turnable - anyone any...

Cancel my last - this was sold for 580, which was a bit too much for me at present - it was good condition, but had been well used, to give anyone else looking at this model an indication as to what people are willing to pay for these. I shall keep looking...

Tomasg - that is brilliant, thanks - and to misterfish for the original idea. Simple, yet effective. With the bandsaw, its extra height and narrow leg area mean it is possibly more unstable than the lower, wider router and saw so at the least Ill have a go at one for it. If you are able to...

Hello folks, I need to make wheeled bases for my bandsaw (a Scheppach Basato 3 with the leg stand set), a router table and possibly my radial arm saw - im not sure what weight they are but am looking for any ideas - i was going to go with a simple 18mm ply square with lockable castors. Any...

Hello all, Anyone any views on the Scheppach HMS2600 CI planer/thicknesser - there is one currently for sale on ebay in my area so id be grateful for anyone's thoughts. I am a newbie hobbyist user, but have the luxury of having a decent sized workshop. Would rather have a good quality...

Hmm... Im not convinced on the redwood then for its potential difficulty in routing, and stability, Poplar has benefits for the finishing and price, but may not be as durable... Im not convinced about the moisture-resistant MDF - it may be easy to work with but again it isnt all that...

Well - i've taken a bit of a gamble and managed to get Creusen DS 7500 TS slow-speed grinder off flea-bay for 54 quid... seems an older model, same slow speed with the 40mm wide white wheels. My Google searches threw up pages in German or Dutch which when translated pitch this product as...

Ah ha! They do look very good indeed - the bundle is very tempting - jigs, accessories, bandsaw etc etc... I can report back to say that Ian at Tuffsaws was incredibly helpful and i will be ordering some blades soon from the options presented. Looks like i may need to think about some DVDs...

As a first project, I am looking at replacing some kitchen cabinet doors - I had planned to build a simple panel door using rail and style cutters on the router table to achieve the mouldings, straight forward mortice and tenon joinery again with the router/saw. I will be giving these a...

Thats grand - thanks v much. I will drop them an email and see what is advised. Knowing who to turn to for help and guidance is half the battle sometimes!!

Right - 6inch.... so what about the point made earlier about the difficulties of the smaller wheels affecting the grind achievable? i've definately read elsewhere that the 8inch wheels are preferable. Is the diffirence negligable - if Creusen's is such a top end machine for turning, its strange...

Hello all - new to this forum and just getting started with new hobby - my mistakes outweigh my successes so far! I came by a Scheppach Basato 3 bandsaw in good condition, although it requires blades and I wanted some advice on a good selection to start with, plus suggestions on suppliers. I...

Thanks for the advice - only thing i'm not sure on is what diameter the Creusen stones are - anyone happen to know if they are 6inch or 8inch (ignore my previous poor mm conversion!!)

Hello all, Just joined the forum so go gently! I inherited a pretty good setup (RP CL4, electronic variable speed plus a range of chucks/tools) and took myself off on a weekend turning course - thoroughly enjoyed it and just need to find the time to get practising. My time has been spent...
