I have asked an electrician about fitting a 16 amp breaker for the saw but he just said I need a 16amp breaker and mentioned nothing about having to use a class C one. jonathan.

It just say's NB116 then a 16 for the 16 amp. Is this definitly the wrong type? jon.

Thanks for your help Bob, now I'll pop into the garage and have a look what class the breaker that's tripping is. Back in two mins. jonathan.

After the recent sale of a Jet supersaw, I had both the space and spare cash burning a hole so when the opportunity of a Delta Unisaw for a good price arose, I couldn't refuse it but the problem is I can run the saw with a 13 amp plug on it but the fuse blows after a couple of minutes. I know...

I have a lot of the Gross Stabil cast iron bodied that look like the bessey but in my opinion a much more robust and better clamp. Bessey are good clamps but somewhat overpriced for what is essentially mainly plastic. cheers, jon.

I have had loose knots thrown back at me before. My own fault I know!! jonathan.

I know that Biesemeyer supply them in many variations but again, only in the States. I could however, buy both a metric and imperial and stick them one above the other, I was wanting one about 3/4inch wide anyway, so the two of them at 12mm wide each would give me a metric and imperial an inch...

Thanks for the reply Gidon. Rutlands and Ax. both supply the tapes but in the vinyl material not metal. The workshop essentials site has the metal tapes but only in metric (I think) cheers, jonathan.

Hello, Can anyone point me in the right direction for a supplier of self adhesive measuring scale. I'm wanting a left to right reading one, about 3/4inch wide and the main thing a metal one. I can get one from the states but wanted to know if a supplier of these is over here first. cheers...

Hello, Iwould have thought that a modern bow saw with the aggressive tooth pattern would cut this with no problem. You should get relatively straight cuts with it after a little practice. cheers, jonathan.

A very good jig, I like it, just be carefull!! cheers, jon.

Dewalt DW 733 thickness planer. Listed as used but is essentially brand new without a mark on it. Also has a second set of new knives bought at the same time as the planer. The machine has been used for no more than 20mins. I'll take £200 for it. cheers, jonathan.

Thanks for the warning. I have considered them but think i'll not bother. cheers, jon.

Hi, I'm almost certain that this problem is basically caused by the free play in the threaded bar of the rise and fall mechanism. I dont have this saw but my first saw which was a Kity 419 did exactly the same and the problem was solved by very lightly lubricating the area where the arbor...

Hello, I have the experiences of being a furniture and cabinet making carpenter initially then moved out of that into bench joinery and doing this whilst being a dedicated home woodworker. I had to go to the joinery side of work as furniture/cabinet making was becoming ever more difficult to...

Hi, If he's looking for any tools, I have Jet supersaw and a Dewalt DW733 thicknesser for sale, both absolutely immaculate and harly used, he could do a lot worse than giving me £625 for both of them. cheers, jon.

Hi, Build it himself. The posh sheds that you can pay up to £5000 for are very flimsy. That's what i'd do anyway. jon.

Hi, A woodworking machine can be as dangerous or safe as the person using it. Many aftermarket parts or attachments have both pros and cons but the basic underlying responsibility has to lay with the user. You could use your tablesaw with no riving knife fitted and never use push sticks and not...

SF, dont understand what you mean about the last question of riving knives. jon.

Hi, They must be doing something right, It has to be america's best selling aftermarket fence and they have a lot to choose from. I think like you say, the one thing to do to avoid a tablesaw accident is to keep the knife fitted or your asking for trouble. jon.
