Which jig were you looking to buy, Roy? I remember reading good things about both Axminster's own-brand and Rutlands' Dakota jigs (which do look identical) a few years ago. However, I've just literally, this very minute, payed for a Kreg R3 on eBay. Only £29.98 including postage. I've been...

As has already been said; you can do a lot with a well set-up bandsaw and the right selection of blades. You may even find that you can get buy without a space-hungry table saw for some time. If ever you need to cut sheet materials, it's often easier to lay them down flat and cut them with a...

SIP bandsaws do indeed make for a very good first purchase of a bandsaw. I used to own the 12in model (01486) before upgrading to a much larger Startrite machine, four-years later. With a 'Supertuff Fastcut' blade from Tuff Saws, I was able to rip some thick sections of hardwood (up to about 6in...

Indeed, both the quality and content are very good. I'm sure it'll only help Cyclone Central to grow, James. :-)

I've had a 2004-model LS1013 for almost two-years now, where I've used it solely in the workshop. It's great. I have occasionally noticed a problem where the brake wouldn't kick in after releasing the trigger but, dust appeared to be the culprit, finding its way in to the housing. Cleaning that...

It would be very interesting to hear from anyone who ends up buying one... Many people on this forum alone seem to get along well with only a basic (non-plunging, often 'cheap') circular saw, used in conjunction with a home-made MDF/plywood saw guide. So, how bad could this Woodstar saw really...

I've got the same machine (AW106PT with aluminium fence) and, like several other users on this forum alone, I've also found that the thicknesser cuts with a similar discrepancy across its width. But, several did also find that the cutter block was out of parallel with the thicknessing bed...

I'm thinking of buying the Router Raizer for my Freud router in the next few months. To check for compatibility, I believe there is a list on Roger's site stating which of the two models you would need for your particular router. They're currently listed at £69 online, which isn't bad at all. I...

Sounds like a good deal and you won't have far to go, either. You'd probably have it all done and dusted in half an hour, given the speed at which you work! ;-)

How is your workshop for ventilation? That's also said to be important, allowing fresh air to circulate.

Is this the benchtop model (BOS-5) or the larger floor-standing one? I've never read about an issue like this on either machine, on this forum. Assuming you bought it brand new then, it would certainly be worth contacting Axminster (or Brimarc/Jet). It should be covered by a one (if not...

Thanks, guys. Still need to get myself a length of aluminium channel so that and fix that to the edge of my router table top before I can go any further with this at the minute. That will then allow me to use the rip fence all the way across, with a ripping capacity that exceeds 600mm (more...

You may think so but, you'd still have to pay your 'Final Value Fee' (currently around 10% of the final sale price, IIRC) if your item did sell. To be honest though, I'm not sure that eBay is the correct 'marketplace' for finding the right kind of customers for bespoke furniture, etc. If you...

This is something I was working on a few weeks ago and, even though there are still parts I need to finish off, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to post it on the forum. The main cabinet is made from 18mm WBP exterior-grade ply and, in order to fit a home-made router table to the right-hand...

James - if you do want to try some of Osmo's UV oil, I could probably send you some in an empty jam jar. Don't think I have any other suitable containers to hand. Also not sure where it would reach you in time? I'd also like to remind you that, only a few months ago, my large tin was looking...

Just thinking out loud but, is it possible to turn one of the old ones 'inside out'? I can't visualise it properly in my mind but, I wonder whether that might 'reverse' the thread, if it's possible? I used to have something similar with a Record Power extractor. A good idea but, I found they...

That looks like a very interesting purchase, Roger, and it will be interesting to see and hear of how you get on with it in future projects. Is that the one that costs a shade under £600? Looks very impressive for the money! I think that's also cheaper than my AW106PT planer/thicknesser is now!! ;-)

Looks good, James. Was that MDF also cut on your CNC? :-)

Okay, I'd like to be included, please. Do we know what time of day this might be happening?

I made my own fence and a couple of flip-stops to go with it, which were based on Steve Maskery's design, as featured as part of his table saw crosscut design, which appears on at least one of his Workshop Essential DVDs. The stops themselves are simple to make and, they're very effective...
