    Blum hinges

    Is there anyway of thicknessing down the door to make it thinner. This would allow the door to sit flush with the drawers but could use the overlay type hinge, if there was still enough thickness for the hinge! Andy

    New BS300 Bandsaw with problems.

    Not that this will help you much but I ordered a mitre guage from Rutlands a while ago and when it arrived it was to small for the slot :shock: Bit of modifying and I had it fixed in a jiffy. I think I would take the whole lot back and ask for a replacement...

    Rust removal and prevention

    All very interesting. I wax most things and use wd40 for some others but also use an old set of bed sheets to cover the bigger equipment for two reasons: it keeps the dust off and also seems to stop them rusting. I know what your saying scrit about holding moisture but it must also release it...

    Jointer problem

    Bob Sounds like the beds are not correctly aligned. I would tackle this first then try some different pressure techniques later. I had a similar highspot problem with mine which i corrected with adjusting the end of the outfeed table up slightly. I also find applying pressure to the wood as it...

    Axminster Red Line laser

    Just to re-iterate what SteveB has said. If the laser generates a straight line on a wall i.e horizontal. Place the curved surface in front of it and it will produce a straight line across the surface. If you can see it then the laser can see it. Andy

    Effect of Cold on PVA Glue

    I have had the same problem with titebond. Goes white when the temperature is too cold. Apart from yesterday the temperature in my workshop hasn't been much above 5deg :shock: usually around 3deg - been a problem gluing up. You'll find if you do a couple of test glue ups, the joints break...

    Loft Conversion - Chipboard

    I thought this was a loft conversion?? Noely are you going to use the loft as a work shop - probably not the best idea. All that dust "cough cough" Signal, I wouldn't have used chipboard for a workshop floor - but if I had to; then your right, double support is the only way to go. Andy

    DADO! Blades :P

    "the risk of k/b VIRTUALLY impossible" I'm afraid not, the teeth coming up from the table lift the wood slightly then follow thorough across the top of the blade, projecting the piece down the table. The dado head just means that there is more surface area for the blade to catch. It doesn't...

    Loft Conversion - Chipboard

    Don't bother with the noggins covering the floor joints where they don't meet a joist. The tounge and groove of the ajacent boards supports it. It is the same principal as laying a hardwood floor. You only use noggins if it is plain end boards. Use the end cut of each row to start the next row...

    DADO! Blades :P

    I had a think about this a while back and couldn't, mechanically, see what the problem was. The spinning mass will be larger moving the COG further away from the bearings meaning they will see more force. Not a major issue. The only major issue I could see, mechanically, is that the brake...

    Jet 315 Table Saw

    I agree with Ike, is is a good saw and as accurate as most saws as long as it is set up correctly. I was trying to emphasis the size of the saw as MMD mentioned it was for his shed. Unless it is a big shed then it may be too large. As for its capabilities, it will happily chomp it's way through...

    Jet 315 Table Saw

    This saw is the same 'site saw' as electra beckum TKHS 315 and all the other manufacturers that have used the same frame. I have seen the EB version and although the picture looks small it is actually a large saw. the rear table does not fold down very easly from my recollection you have to...
