Didn't mean BWW used to be GWW! Sorry for the confusion - meant GWW used to get most of the discussion before BWW. Cheers Gidon

Re books this was a useful thread sometime back: https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2180 With the woodworking mags my advice would be to buy a few and see what you think - British Woodworking gets a lets of discussion here (it used to be Good Woodworking) but I find most of the...

Blimey Phil - getting some real recognition - well played! I'm glad Mr Schwarz shares my grievances with the No 78 - I just can't get it working well in hardwoods either :x. Cheers Gidon

I would get onto Yandles / NMA if you didn't get a manual. Mine came with a spanner for the square head bolts. In the mean time I've scanned in my manual because someone else with a second hand machine asked for it: http://www.tregarras.com/misc/scheppach ... manual.pdf Together with the setup...

Streepips - you're right they are square-headed bolts. I'm guessing Selly doesn't have a manual - that's why he's coming here for help. I've offered scanned notes on machine adjustment which I've found very helpful and I've offered to check and / or scan in my manual. Cheers Gidon

Hi I have this machine. Can you not stagger the blades - offset them slightly? May help if they aren't too badly nicked. You can get new blades here: http://www.dm-tools.co.uk/product.php/s ... CH62004134 (There is somewhere you can get them cheaper but can't remember where :() Or just send them...

Thanks Lee yes am interested if you get the chance. Definately will be on my something to try list - although that list has got pretty long recently! Cheers Gidon

Wizer - very much looking forward to see how this progresses. Cheers Gidon

I love it! Would love to have a go at that myself. How did you know what you were doing? Cheers Gidon

Very nice Philly! I want one :)! I've been having a lot of trouble with my #78 just this evening - bet this would do a much better job. Cheers Gidon

Wizer Yes I have - it's a little harder than I thought it'd be but but my results are improving on each try. I have a diamond steel as well as a normal steel and find I can usually get a pretty decent edge off these too but nice eto be able to grind a new edge. Scissors are much easier on the...

FOC = Free of charge!

Welcome Kenneth. Surprised all that came under warranty - especially the fence. Nice to know though. I have an original machine too and the tensioning bolt was made of crappy mild steel. If you get a chance to take a couple of pics of the news upgrades would really appreciate that. Cheers Gidon

Thanks for the review Wizer. How did you choose the Charnwood - I see there are lots of clones? Cheers Gidon

Only just noticed it's a 3/4" blade you're trying to tension - that's right at the limit of this machine - I tried one once but never again. I tore the thread on the tensioning bolt - never got it close the correct tension (ie even straight looking down the guides). Too scared to try it again...

It was a good offer while it lasted. Quite pleased with the free knife offer if it's any good because was after a decent chef's knife. But not quite the same! Cheers Gidon

Blimey £5 - that's a pretty good price! The base on mine has too much flex to be used seriously as a laminate trimmer in my opinion. They were taken over by Bosch - but the model you have most likely is from before the takeover. Doesn't look like any real differences. Cheers Gidon

No :( - that ended end of December. Cheers Gidon

Thanks Nigel. Tormek have had their lower priced version the 1206 for some time (as long as I've had my eye on them) in the UK at least. I think in the US they only have the 2006 / T7. You're right and I'd hoped I made it clear in the review that I was unlucky with my Scheppach - the 2500 at...

Andy check your guides aren't too close. In fact back them off top and bottom completely and see if it's ok. I've had two sets of guides where the wheels don't rotate in one plane which means they can bind on the blade if you have them set close. Cheers Gidon
