    Creusen slow grinder wheels

    You are probably struggling because of the unique 15mm bore. Look at wheels with a standard 32mm bore and a set of reducers then you're more likely to find the wheels you want. Also, check whether the Creusen wheel is 40mm wide at the bore or whether it is narrower so that you don't get caught...

    Grindstone repair

    If this is a slow speed Tormek type grinder then get one of the Tormek TT-50 diamond truing tools (or the equivalent from one of the other clone brands). Bear in mind that if it is only the corner that has chipped off then it doesn't make any real difference to the effectiveness of the...

    Axminster Ultimate edge

    Like a lot of hobby woodworkers I've tried virtually every sharpening method going (more for the fun of the learning curve rather than to chase perfection) and can say from experience of the Sorby Pro-Edge and Axminster Ultimate Edge that the Ultimate Edge will do exactly what you want and do it...

    Tablesaw safety

    Which Bosch tablesaw have you got? The GTS-10XC has a riving knife that can be lowered when stowing the saw away and it can be raised so that you get the full use of the blade for a 75mm cut with the guard (this movement is separate to the normal rise and fall which occurs when you raise or...

    Cast Iron Bandsaw table no longer flat!

    In your third photograph there is a hole under the table - is there a corresponding one on the other side of the slit and are they both threaded? If so, there should be a steel plate that bolts into these to bring both sides of the table into alignment. If this a Record Power bandsaw you...

    JPT-310: HSS, Spiral TCT, and feed speed; upgrade thoughts

    From memory the 260 uses two separate motor pullies because it uses two different belt types (which is the case with the helical head 310) but the standard knife 310 has a double pulley because both of the belts that are driven by the motor are the same type. If you are planning to convert a...

    JPT-310: HSS, Spiral TCT, and feed speed; upgrade thoughts

    I converted my JPT310 from a standard straight knife cutter head to a helical head. The change in feed speed is achieved by using a motor pulley from a JPT260 but you will also have to change the drive pulley and belt since the 260 uses a flat belt to drive the rollers. There were a few other...

    Mortising machine with oak

    I've had success with 16mm wide mortics using the Dakota (Rutlands) version of the small Axminster machine on kiln dried oak - just needed to use brute force to plunge the chisel in. The auger had no problems cutting, whether I used the cheap and cheerful Rutlands morticing bits or the Axminster...

    Grinder Vibration - Chasing down a problem

    Those tolerance are pretty good. Each wheel will have been balanced when it was made but you are now mounting it to a different machine with bushes so the original balance will have been lost. Basically, accept it because you will get this issue to some extent with any replacement wheel you...

    Machinery brands

    If you're going to have the luxury of building a purpose built workshop why go for a combination machine? Standalone machines will be ready to use without having to convert from one function to another.

    Axminster Ultimate Edge

    The pre-set angles are the included angle between the platform and platen. If a chisel tapers in thickness from the handle to the bevel then the ProEdge will not grind the bevel at the angle indicated because it references off the front face of the chisel rather than the back face. If a chisel...

    cor, what a day!

    The Axminster unit is the wrong tool for the job. HVLP extractor don't cope well with small bore pipes due to the way the work. They work on the basis of air movement rather than vacuum like the SIP. Changing your pipework to 100mm isn't likely to improve things much either because the outlets...
