Hello all, I wonder if anyone has any suggestions on the best method of adhesion for veneering? I have done loads of laminating with formica's and I use a sprayable contact adhesive for that. I was going to go the same route for the veneer but wonder wether to use the iron on hot melt sheets...

The Unisaw has gone. Allen, (aka- Blister) has collected the saw this morning. Genuine freindly bloke, a pleasure to meet. Hope he has many enjoyable weekends with his new saw. Thanks to everyone who contacted me, sorry I diddn't have a saw for each of you but best of luck with your search for...

The interest in the saw has caught me by suprise and I have to be fair. I will give Wizer the first chance as he was the first but anyone else interested can PM their phone number to me and I will offer it by order of response. I don't know how else I do it! cheers, jonathan.

Hi everyone, I thought I would offer fellow woodworkers on the forum a chance to buy my saw before going on ebay. I have a grand edition Delta Unisaw shipped from the U.S. and professionaly fitted with a 50hz marathon motor for use over here. The saw is totally immaculate, like new and fitted...

Exellent idea Ivan, i'll call them tomorrow. jon.

Hello, I have just ordered a new bandsaw from Axminster and while waiting for it to be delivered, I am going to get the wiring run for it . My question is, the bandsaw is the SBW 5300 three phase model and I want to know if anyone knows how many wires are in the cable you plug it in with? Does...

Hello Callum, If you genuinely have the enthusiasm you show for woodworking, you certainly have a bright future ahead. I just hope that the economic situation will eventually start to pick up again and the sooner the better. Keep up the good work. jonathan.

Sorted. It is indeed a 240v router. I have just tried it on a transformer and while it worked, the motor ran really slow. Then with a 240v three pin plug fitted, full speed. I am a little suprised though, i knew that porter cable tools had a varied range available in the UK but not the 'D'...

I have a dewalt router sent from the states and it does say the voltage on the plate, but this PC one doesn't have a plate on. It hasn't been abused because it's virtually brand new. Is it a good idea to firstly fit it with a 110v plug and try it with a 110 transformer. If it doesn't workwith...

Hi, i've just bought a PC router off ebay. It's a 'D' handle router and is fitted with a three pin standard 240v plug but the cable is the American wires, (black-positive, white-neutral, and a green earth). The seller can't tell me if the router was from the U.S. or a C.E. model. I don't want to...

Who's been watching new home DIY the last few day's then???? jonathan.

Many thanks Tim, just what I wanted, i'll be be ordering some from them. cheers, jonathan.

Hello, i'm trying to find a supplier of Carhartt workwear. Rutlands have some bib and braces that I want but don't have the the big enough size. Can anyone offer any help? cheers, jonathan.

Looks Ok to me but i'd find another place for the bottle of gas. If you have a fender bender and someone ploughs into the back of you, that bottle could explode and the van will be no-more!!!!!!!. (alway's looking on the bright side of life) jonathan.

The Makita saw in question has an exellent reputation and having used one myself, I would say it is one of the best standard mitre saw's available. It sounds like he's been unlucky on this occasion and i'm certain that if he bought the same model again, it should be OK and cut spot on. I am...

Very flimsy, Too much plastic, Not enough power, Very gimmicky, Get em in B+Q and they will sell by the bucket load!!!!!! jonathan.

Good afternoon, this is the one that's advertised in GW issue, 203 on page 65. jonathan.

I bought a Stanley bostitch nail gun for £20 and it's brand new, just labelled- factory rework. jon.

It looks identical to the saw that Lyndhurst were selling a while back under their own branding but with the titanium finish and a new fence. jon.

I sold one to a forum member quite a while ago and 30kg is the standard cut off weight and it ended up costing the best part of £80 to post!!!! jonathan.
