Hey dont forget, he posted one about a planer/thicknesser too :lol:

Here is another router bit box :wink: (Unlike charley, I dont take mine to bed with me :P ) http://sawdustalley.co.uk/How-to/router ... /index.php It is nice to build a nice box to house your new bits in I think, keeps them all in one place and handy for when you need them.

Please keep on topic.

if you put 0/00 - hey you can get it for free!? :lol:

I think he means like a Beismyser aftermarket fence and then track that the fence runs along. if you only have a B&Q saw, I wouldn't imagine you will want to spend serveral hundred pound on an aftermarket fence system.

Could be moisture? Maybe you did not wait long enough once applying the contact cement. You are meant to leave it till it becomes just tacky - but dry. Did you apply it to both surfaces are you are suppost to?

I use disposable valved ones most of the time (P2 at least). Either the 3M or the axminster ones, made by some company I have found to be good. These are usually aound £2-3 each, but are cheaper when you buy 10 or 20 of them. Sometimes if i'm doing really rough sawing, or planing which doesnt...

When I was speaking to delta last, I did raise the unisaw. He told me that it would not comply with EU Regs. They would have to re-design it so it does. If you think about it, they need prototypes, and so on - this can go to 10's of thousands of $. Then there is the taxes, shipping and what...

I don't think so actually, if its actually supported by the floor. If you want it to be suspended it will need more meat. It isn't really supporting any weight, just bearing it - compression factors here. I maybe would use a double layer of the chipboard under the tools, or even make more of a...

No, a router table is fine for most home woodworkers needs. I found mine a pleasure to build, there are details on my site under how-to. A decently powerful router will often pack the same punch as a small splindle anyhow... :D

Interesting...

You might want to take a look at a local industrial joinery place. Something fairly large, maybe making windows or conservetarys.

Perform cutters seem fairly decent I agree. I have recently been using a set of cutters from USA from Whiteside Machinery and I am dead impressed. Can't comment on wealden as they never used them.

Yes I was worried of death, that was my first reaction as I have previously been informed about the whole bubble in vein thing, took me the rest of the day to calm down. That has blown my trust (get it :wink: ) right out of the window as far as compressed air goes. What really concerned me, is...

No, its just a mention (A TIP one could say). The machine is up to much more than you would first anticipate (when fitted with a decent blade). I even used a quote from a TV program :P You can see the complete review here: http://sawdustalley.co.uk/tools/reviews.php?id=21

Some good projects. At the moment i'm working on a big pine gate for my gran. "Grannys Gate" What have I got planned, hmmm..who knows :?: More tools maybe :wink:

When I do my reviews (On SDA or for Magazines) I always try to be as honest as possible. Some of the manufactures will moan, and some will not. For instance, on a recent bandsaw review I did - they didn't like me saying its performance was improved greatly with an after market blade. However...

Which already do reviews of things such as Cordless Drills. I agree, its a good idea. As charley said there are many review websites on the net

I don't agree either...Much of the time people are actually going against dangerous things, and all hell breaks loose when a D*** blade is mentioned.

I have seen people use OSB before, you might not be keen on the look off it however, very busy and really not meant to look good. You should steer way from MDF or Chipboard, any moisture may ruin them. If I were you, I would probably line the walls with some sort of wood to carry through the...
