Hi Chris, Two of the bearings were small diameter on a rebate cutter. Off hand I can't remember the sizes. The other two were 19mm diameter for a straight cutter. When using the rebate cutter I was definately cutting red wood pine, but I can't remember what I was cutting when using the straight...

I'm sorry Devonwoody I forgot someone mentioned lead on pins earlier in the thread, but I started it to see if anyone else has had problems with Wealdens' bearings and apparently noone has. I've updated it because I'm dissappointed with Wealdens customer service or lack of it - in that they...

Have I missed something?!!! :?: I'm not talking about 'pins'. I don't know where you've got that from, it's the bearings on the cutter that are a problem, and I agree that normally they are not a problem from Wealdens. The other thing to mention (not that I think it's significant, but because...

I have also used Wealdens almost exclusively for years with no complaints and I've been using bearing cutters for years with no problems. So I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Two of the bearings were from a 2 flute straight cutter and the other 2 from a rebate cutter. Both were less than a...

Ahhhhhh a fourth bearing from Wealdens broke!!!! This time I have contacted them (last Sunday) and they haven't even bothered to reply to my email.

Very sorry for your loss. My condolences. Tim.

Thanks for the advice - I'll bear it all in mind when I set it up at the weekend.

Thanks for that CHJ. Do you rate highly?

Hi everyone. I was lucky enough today to receive a Poolewood 28-40 Superlathe from a friend. I've done very little turning and know very little about turning or lathes, but this new toy might just inspire me to rectify that. It came in bits and I haven't put it together yet, infact it took a...

Thanks for that Tony, but I am competent with a PT - just never used a featherboard on one. I plan to clamp the featherboard so the fence material is not an issue.

I intend doing that after Teckel but if I don't plane one side first it will damage my thicknesser bed. It has done before.

Thanks James, as you've seen it done and noone is screaming 'don't do it!' I think it will be safe to go ahead and try it. Thanks Andy, but I don't need it straightening, just cleaning up. I intend to use the featherboard to put downward pressure on the outfeed end.

It's not actually making a feather board that I have a problem with, it's just that I've never known anyone use a feather board on a planer table before and wondered if there was a reason for that or do people actually use them and it's just that I've never seen it before?

I've never seen or heard of anyone using a feather board on the outfeed end of a planer. Is there a reason for. I ask because I have some long thin pieces of oak that I want to plane but because of their length I'm struggling to feed them through and keep pressure on the outfeed end. I thought a...

Another very nice neat job =D>

Very nice. I might start a card school just for an excuse to try and make a card table!!

How do you make the coving for the top Alan?

Appreciate the input Tom, but there's no such thing as a 'local supplier' where I live!! :(

Thanks Al. I think I'll try Titmans (it can't harm to compare) and call Wealden's as you suggest.

Simon - It's a router. Sorry for not been specific. Davin - On the router table you can lead in without the pin but it's appantly safer with one. On a spindle, I don't know (wish I had one!).
