Is there a chart somewhere showing wood types and what they are ? Cheers

Yes, that's an added bonus :D

Take a ‘dead’ hard drive out of a computer, plenty to be found at your local rubbish tip etc. Remove the lid and base to expose the inner workings. Carefully remove the disc and bearing. You should end up with a three inch, precision bearing and disc, ideal for use as a Lazy Susan for use in...

Hi Terry, I've bought your products in the 5 litre tins and never had any problems compared to Cuprinol where you have to pull the plastic ring to open (on the 5 litre tins) and end up getting covered in the product :roll: :D

Can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere, online, that sells 3", 3 1/2" & 4" flexible dust extractor pipes but not at Axminster prices, if possible ? Thank you all in advance and may all your woodworking dreams come true :lol:

I agree Alf, those lines are very handy. For non-lined cutters I use a rubber O-ring :wink:

I promise this is the last Router related user thread I'll start but just wondering, although I can't think why, who uses which make/s of router cutter (hopefully all this info in these threads will benefit Charley in some way, might even attract a few advertisers :wink: ) Budget 1/4" & 1/2"...

They've been having fun in my kneck of the woods Trev, we've now got enormous solar powered signs that say 30 in case we didn't know, red areas marked out where pedestrians cross, anti-skid areas that are a pale brown colour, red inside white lines down the middle of the road, bollards in the...

In my local village a gang of road marking people are currently marking the centre of the road in red, anyone care to explain exactly what this might be ? According to the Highway Code website that hasn't been updated for 2005 there is no mention of this yet the same thing appeared in my local...

It all depends on budget and of course the usage the power tools are going to be put through but I personally will never buy 'Axminster White' power tools again. Having started my 'addiction' to woodworking buying and trying to use budget tools within my budget at that time I had lots of chances...

Hi Steve, sometimes you gotta try these things even if you're told it's not a good idea :wink: :D I did get sent to bed without supper but being a resourceful K9 I'd hid a tin of Spillers under my pillow for just such ocassions :wink:

Ok, just an idea to go with the Router thread but we seem to have a lot of router users who use a router table. I thought it would be interesting to see who uses a homemade version or one that's manufactured or both. x 2 Wolfcraft Router Tables Model 540

Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating, not that I ate the router, but armed with full face mask and heavy duty welding gloves I tried my idea. The sanding sleeve lasted approx. ten seconds and then flew off in all directions, the rubber drum took on the look of an alien rubber blubber...

While lying here in my basket, chewing on a boneio, a thought has entered my mind, a rare event if ever there was one but I have a set of drum sanders with 6mm shanks, could I safely use these with my table mounted router to make a bobbin sander ?

No worries Neil :wink:

Ok I've started a Router thread so that Forum Users can reveal all about their router buying/using habits :wink: x 2 Trend T3's - 1/4" - Freehand use. JCB D-PR12 1/2" - Table mounted. *Please Stick this thread someone, and I'm being polite* :D

That's what I meant Alf, cheers for the links Neil :wink:

A Forum Users Router thread somewhere or will one be started sometime soon ?

While sitting in a cafe this morning, drinking something that resembled the appearance of coffee but with a taste similar to that of barvarian bat dung, I overheard an old lady who was meeting up with other old ladies for a chat. 'Sorry I'm late, I got half way here and then remembered I had...

I didn't come across any others and since using the Porter Cable I think I'll stick with this make. I haven't had much chance to give it a good seeing to as what with two members of my family dying within 3 months of each other, sister and my dad, woodworking has been 'shelved' so to speak, for...
