    How Close To Edge?

    I wouldn't get within a Bono of the Edge or u2 could find yourself on a street with no name and you still wont find what you are looking for. 30mm as Mike said. I havent try block inserts yet. Don't get why you want a shelf in fornt of a window, but as i prefer not to have wondows at all i...

    Bandsaw setup

    less than 10% variance and you say your a newbie at it. the saws fine, that's fine, you'll learn to adapt and bring that 10% to more like 5%. go forth and cut young padawan.

    Bandsaw drift

    couple of videos for you. 1, QR working just fine thanks. 2. cross cut. watch the thrust bearing, note that it isn't always spinning and when it is, it isn't heavily loaded as the blade is cutting quick enough to make forward progression. this is because 1, the bearing is in the right...

    WOW! and "OH GOLLY GOSH"

    You've been rumbled, I suggest you send 3 emails to your closest friends stating "We have been discovered, flea immediately" then see who doesn't turn up for the next billiards game. :)

    There's No Money In It Anymore.........

    Not sure about that Bob, have you seen how much a sparky sweats on inspection day? As for plumbers, you'll be able to find plenty of DNA for them, normally in the fabric of the seat cushion though. :)

    repairing a disc cutter

    I can answer that for BM. one knot. 3 if he has to tie off. 3 core 1.5mm is something like 2 quid a metre. doesn't seem worth it for a repair. SB, I've had similar with tools I'd say I take pretty good care off, it's normally because I've overbent the lead at some point, with stuff like...

    Poor man's sliding table

    this is as ever a wonderful project. unfortunatly, you have let slip about stand in Steve, so I no longer care about the table saw thingy, I want to see the making of stand in Steve, a tail of woh and despair. poor SIS, he does half the work and gets none of the online accolade. Give SIS a...

    Completly agree,we need national service. Anyone between the age of 60 and 80 should be signed up. Seems they want it the most so it's only fair right? ;)

    Bandsaw drift

    Agreed Mike. that's the next think to consider, but getting to within 10% has to be a massive improved. I've spent an hour before now redoing the set on a bandsaw blade just because I needed to make a cut and the order hadn't arrived yet, really isn't worth doing though unless you have no...

    Bandsaw drift

    no, there should be a guide block on both sides top and bottom. I set my guides by letting them touch the blade and snug up the lock screw to just holding them then nudge the blade a hair so they are only just off the blade, then tighten the lock screw completely, in shop parlance, there is a...

    Bandsaw drift

    Lower your top guide to about 1/2" above the work piece. first step and it matters. an aside, I'll put money on it not moving parallel to the blade and putting one side guide on the blade as you lower it (assuming they are set tight enough, see below). you can adjust this by slacking of the...

    figured I had it the wrong way round, always got that wrong, it's why I became a mechy not a sparky :).
