I've just bought a couple of teak benches (I would have built it myself but I doubt I could even buy the necessary teak at even two or three times the price!) and want to finish them for the climate here in eastern France. By relatively extreme the following may give some indication: we had...

I don't know whether it retries if oyu aren't online - but I doubt it. However, if you do a "synchronise now" it will set the next update to the same time of day - so you could do so at a time you are sure you will be online.

If you go to Internet Time in Date and Time Properties in the Control Panel you can set the internal clock to synchronise the time with one of the internet time servers. This can be done automatically (it does it once a week) and you can also synchronise on the spot.

There is a french site http://www.kity-rouen.com/home.php?id=7 advertising Kity woodworking machines; they bear a remarkable resemblance to Scheppach machines apart from the colour :)

The Record comes with an additional half-length fence which can be fitted to the main fence and adjusted to the required position. John

The Kity 419 is also called the Kity Junior 4 john

I've just seen the Fox saw in a DIY store here (990 €). I couldn't examine it too much detail, due to a persistent hovering salesman, but, although similar, the Fox isn't exactly the same as the Record. As mentioned elsewhere, there is only one cast iron table extension (and that wasn't as well...

No Piggy, I wouldn't have accepted a saw in that condition. I checked the components of mine out carefully as I unpacked it from the very copious packaging and then tested various operations, e.g. rise-and-fall and tilt, before I put it all together. I've even had to take it nearly all apart...

A couple of weeks ago I bought a TSPP250 and BS350 directly from Record for delivery directly to France. The only minor problem I had with the TSPP250 was a similar slight misalignment of the sliding table. This was easily adjustable. The rollers the sliding table run on are fixed into a...

I'm just bought and am in the process of installing a Record TSPP250.

I'm just installing a Record TSPP250 cast iron table saw in my workshop (equivalent to the Fox F36529). I've just checked and it appears the arbour is only just long enough to take the standard blade, washer and nut.

For a simple web editor, if you can find a copy, the current (December) issue of Personal Computer World has a full copy of Namo WebEditor 4 on the cover disk. It is similar to FrontPage and has a MSWord style interface. For pages of thumbnail and full pictures I use WebThumb from...

Chris Look here and you'll find some more DAB/MP3. Whether they are still in production or you can find somewhere to buy them is another matter...

You need to be careful if you are planning to buy a DAB receiver in the UK and use it abroad (or even for future UK DAB broadcasts). There are two main DAB channels available, Band III and Band L. At present Band III is the one used by the main broadcasters in the UK (although Band L is in use...

Cut across the width of the sheet with a sharp knife. That way, if it snaps, you have a good edge most of the way through.

Sorry Scott, I've not used Roubois. But I have seen reference to Roubois being the top French firm for supplying wood to individuals. HMDiffusion send out a catalogue free a couple of times a year - you can request it on the web site. They have an odd mix of worldwide brands and unknown...
