    Woodrat - On its way

    Just bought one of these after much deliberating, pondering, squirming over the cost and researching the various excellent posts etc in the forums. Selling my dovetail jig to help justify the enormous cost! Anyway - it arrives tomorrow so will attack (attach) it on Saturday - any hints / tips /...

    Sliding Mitre Saw

    I've got the above - great bit of kit - portable enough (just) with plenty of power. Once set up its pretty accurate - but does need regular checks. The laser is a waste - it gets in the way, the beam is wide so you're never sure where the blade cuts - to the left, right or middle - and is...

    SIP 01332 table saw electrical supply

    Not got one but looking at power rating of motor - the standard uk 3 pin plug (probably supplied with the unit) should be ok. Please make sure you have the socket outlet protected with an RCD! These cost a couple of quid (£~9) but will save your life! If its a garage or a workshop - consider...

    Fox Pillar Drill

    Tim - I bought a Fox Bench Top Morticer (F14650) and am really really pleased with it. One problem I had (broken switch) on delivery was replaced by return post (Rutlands). However, there was an electrical problem I found when swapping the switch - see here (hope this works...

    Retrofit fence for Record PT260 Planer Thicknesser?

    Fortunately (or unfortunately) as a new WW my dealings with RP are short lived - I've only had the thing 2/3 weeks so as yet I'm not disillusioned with their Customer Service dept. I do hope they read and reply to this thread - at the very least, in mvho, feedback such as this should be used to...

    Retrofit fence for Record PT260 Planer Thicknesser?

    All, I've forwarded this thread to Lee Birtles / Tony at RP - I've previously contacted Lee with this issue - and asked them to comment / suggest a fix. RP response: I've only just bought this RP - it was a close call between this and the Axminster - both £500 - know wish one I should have...

    Retrofit fence for Record PT260 Planer Thicknesser?

    I thought it was just me! I spoke to a RP rep at Stoneleigh show over the weekend - he patiently went through the setup with me, but to no avail, and suggested that for accurate planing - reset each time using a square....! Looks like we're on our own with this one, but if you do find an...

    Elektra Beckum - Customer Care or what!

    Recent dealing with EB: Lost my bandsaw rip fence during a house move (took it off so it wouldn't get damaged!). Anyway - emailed EB to ask if they had a redundant / bitsa fence I could mod etc to fit - emailed back - No they haven't, but, as a gesture, would send me a nice new one foc! Now...

    Forum users' Planers & Thicknessers

    I have just bought one of these units - really pleased with it - comments: 1. Really poor manual - Record Power (R/P) have since sent an other updated (better tho not great) copy - not sure why they can't supply this in the first place? EB website gives more info (see comment below). 2. Fence...

    Planer / Thicknesser - How to do it properly?

    Hi all. I've just invested in a new Record P/T and having spent a day or so setting it up would like to pick up as many hints / tips as poss - particularly in getting rid of end to end bowing. Previously got someone else to do this for me! Typical stock length is 48 - 60", latest project...

    Fox Morticer - *** ELECTRICAL WARNING ***

    Hi all. I bought one of these a year or so ago - really good bit of kit. However - it arrived with a damaged Stop / Start station. Rutlands supplied a new one really quickly (A*). When I fitted it, discovered the earth was connected via a very short 3mm dia screw, with about a thread and a...
