Nice work Derek...I like the length of it as well, and it looks comfy to use. I take it with as much of the blade supported it cuts dead straight. lovely job Ian

curious as well.......I'm heading off next week to K. Holteys i'll ask him if you still havent had an answer. Ian

Hi Peter, I bought the full range of their saws in a moment of madness...they are all really good although i havent used the large crosscut as yet but the rest are good...the 1776 is a beauty. Ian

I did this , i also insulated with styrene sheets between the battons then layed underlay and laminate. Best thing i did in the workshop...if i ever move and have to do another it will be exactly the same. I've had it down now for 5 years and never slipped but i wear steel toecaps antislip...

Gidon, somethings to check......on your thin blade check that the hole where it fixes to the saw is round.......sometimes with vibration it can make it eccentric and throw the blade off balance..... not sure what the bore is on these saws but also dont use a blade with adapter washers...

Hi Knot, I was faced with a similar thing a while back when i made the jigsaw table......I now have a ceiling mounted dentists spot light which is fantastic for spotting on the router tool. well worth trying ebay for something Ian

Accchh we wear shorts and tee shirts in that temp over here.... beautiful jigsaws expertly done.....lovely city and love the harbour...i visit Addison quite regular welcome to the forum Ian

Jason, When spraying it should be around 35psi...2.5 bar......you really should if you can spray in a warm area and use multiple thin coats with time left inbetween coats......time between coats will vary with your room temps and what types of paint you have. spraying at 6bar will...

I'll second that......if you fancy a square shafted one i've got some spares left over requiring a bit of effort to make good. I meant to say earlier the glen drake shaft is 5/16ths not 7 16ths (struggling with conversions these days) and the other is 8mm overall length is 7 inchs. Ian busy...

you mean they asked for it back :( i can lend you a tite mark if anyone fancies buying the sureline.....i'll send you a square shafted one as well if you fancy it. but it'll be after christmas... i'm away tomorrow :( the titemark is such an easy one to copy...its a pity sureline didnt come...

It just so happens...i have just bought some foundry equipement so its something new i want to learn......i also know where there is one of these lathes...a local engineering museum...as by chance i also know one of the museum restorers who might let me take some sizes and possibly some casting...

Felder do the the control circuitry and vibration sensors, just a thought...at the worst you could use ecogates through a voltage converter available on ebay regularly..... you could always fit a remote control onto your dust exctractor starter, just more food for thought.. Ian ps vibration...

I beleive felder do a version but youd probobly be cheaper importing in from ecogate......i looked at this but for me it was an expense that i didnt need...(not that its stopped me before) if you are a commericial user then its probobly worthwhile but if you do woodwork occasionally then pulling...

I dint think they will be interchangeable....LN version is 5/16ths and the other will be 8mm...a very slight difference. Shouldn’t really be a problem on the copyright as it’s a copy of the old starret dateing back to the 1800’s….patents only run for 50 years…….. Also have done a version of...

Yep....I agree with most comments.....its the first episode i watched(apart from the first one)....i actually remembered it was on.....he was like a kid with a new toy...a few more episodes should have made it more interesting. I suspect that the production co paid for most of it hence a sponser...

I second that too...will need to get my photos improved....i like your style BB. Ian

Thanks for the ideas Alf...i'll give it some serious thought Dave....not at the moment but maybe sometime soon very interesting debate Ian

Max Depth, There are a few different things the form they sent you will give them the info they need. First it’ll probably cost around £1200 just for connection but before you even go there you have to have a means into your workshop ie the ground dug up along a channel then...

blends right in in the 98 need some help to come up with a name for the 14 inch version of the 98 Ian

D2 is not the easiest thing i've sharpened.....in fact its the worst i've had a go at.....it takes an edge and holds it though but not a material i will use again purley because its so tough......it took Andy King almost 1 1/2 hours to get an initial bevel on the diamond stone and i gave Geoff...
