I was thinking one at a time ;-) Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

Plenty to read already! I should note that I don't have damp or anything yet as this is a house build in progress. Outside there is bitumen painted on, then some insulation but not all the way down, now they have fitted some thick plastic sheeting (very thick), now they are filling up with 1m...

blackrodd, My fence is perfectly aligned, with perhaps a thou toe out at the end for safety without compromising a straight cut. I don't push hard against the fence, what I mean is I use the fence to run the wood along. if the fence is short like some suggest, I get a problem at the end like...

Yes, exactly what I was trying to say. However for cross cut, the below picture is very dangerous. So I just put a stop block in the right place clamped to the fence. (Mitre fence / sliding table removed for clarity)

Yes, mine does, however there are lots of comments and videos that state that first tooth is all you need. for cross cutting I agree. I still get wander with a fence that goes to the far end of the blade, it just shaves some extra at the end, you hear that the cut is finished, and just as you...

Could be horses for courses here. Let me show you what my problem is with short fence for ripping, or for largish cross -cuts, say panels for kitchen cabinets, so 60 x 90. Here at the start of the cut, i can push against the fence to keep everything straight. Here, at the end there is no...

What problems have you been having with the full length? I have problems with the short length, including safety issues, and when I see the murricans and their full length fences i get very jealous...

Where I am German is the first language which adds some complexity, however look into them for which part of the build? I am 100% sure you can get free board and a tour/transport for setting up my band saw! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

I am on both sides of the fence with this one, excuse the pun. For cross cutting, using the fence as a guide you have to make the fence shorter, here I use a block attached to fence as a guide. For ripping or cutting panels I wish I had a longer fence. What I am finding is that as I get to...

I bought the 500 with the dominoes systainer and the narrow piece stop. Over the years I have used all sizes for various projects and it takes a lot of projects to justify the cost! The domino set sizes means you get lots of small ones and less larger, so although I have mainly used one size...

I am really excited now I have some finance for my new house build which includes a 58 square metre workshop! I was reading the latest BW with interest, and was going to source some suggestions. At the moment I have concrete walls and roof, front is on the street and back and one side...

Many thanks for all the responses,I do have an update which I will put up once I have collated all my thoughts. Just didn't want you to think I was not appreciative! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

The results were ok. I had a couple of minor nicks that caused some molding to appear, however it was easily sanded out. The fence was not 90 to both in / out so i was never confident I was getting PAR, however it has been good enough for what I do. However I have found that what you get from...

OK, so if that is normal, then i need to adjust my thicknesser bed to compensate. I am not sure if that is possible, i will probably have to take the base and the motor casing off to have a look, so I was hoping to avoid. The attached shows a very exaggerated version of what I am looking at if...

Just realised my phone writing was not great. Basically the in feed (lead on?) table seems pretty fixed. The outfeed is adjustable. However the cutter is not parallel to the infeed side. I have never tuned up the p/t and the only thing I really noticed was that the fence was not square to...

Does it matter if the cutter head it's not in alignment with the tables if the blades are adjusted do they are parallel? I am doing my first blade sharpening and noticed using dual gauge that the infeed table is about 0.4 mm higher than the cutter head at one end. Looks fairly easy to adjust...

Cheers. Did you find two holes each side was enough? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

I got a Metabo 256KGSm which seems really nice and well built. Perfect 90deg cuts out of the box. It says in the manual you can attach an auxiliary fence to the included one using screws. However the fence has no holes and seems a little thin perhaps. Anyone tried doing this with a CMS and...

i saw 15 pages of general discussion. From what I can see the fixed base makes it smaller, lighter, and easier to handle when for example doing edge work, or trimming. I tend to use my router table for bigger jobs, so i think the fixed based could be nice to have it just in my palm. So...

I am looking to get a small laminate trimmer for various edging job, so I don't have to use my big 1/2" router. I like the look of the dewalt twin set with plunge and fixed, however never quite understood the benefits of the fixed base versus plunge. You can adjust the height on fixed base...
