Thank you all for your replies. Adam & Proshop; yes I will look at other hardwoods, does Hemlock paint well? One of the reasons for painting is that none of the houses in our road have other than PVC - white or the old "Crittall" type windows painted white with exception of one house that has...

Alan The reason for using a hardwood is because I thought that I would get a better finish and a more stable product than using a softwood, please correct me if I am wrong. Regards

Hi I am thinking of making a set of windows to replace our exsisting PVC windows in a 1970's house. I have recently been on an Axminster Spindle Moulding course, which I found very good. The machine I have in mind is the Axminster WS100TA. The question, which of the Euro Cutters & Limiters...

Hi everyone Just to say I have had my very first , prompt delivery from Ian at Tuffsaws. The 3/4" x 3TPI blade for my Record 350S machine just seems to hum, easy to tension, cuts true, a great blade in my opinion at a reasonable price. I have no connection with Tuffsaws other than being a...

Devonwoody Sorry for the delay in replying, like David E I also got mine from Wood Workers Workshop.Very helpful & good service. I think I paid approx £150/£200 for mine.

I have the Axminster AW10BSB2 table saw & the Incra 1000hd mitre gauge. Not had any problems, the mitre fitted slightly loosely in the "T" slot but using the two expansion points on the gauge it fits nice & snug. It can be used either on the right or left of the saw blade very quickly &...

Happy New year to one & all, I am thinking of buying the Jet Bandsaw rather than a SIP 01444 for two reasons, firstly table height, seems very high on the SIP, secondly I believe the JET has the better guide assembly. Has anybody any experience/advise good or bad, I would be greatful for the...

Thanks for the speedy replies, Scott & Sargent have just confirmed also. Now looking at the SIP/itech 01445 16" saw. Difference Itech priced @ £699 SIP @£793, where is the almost £100 difference, or is it in the name. More investigation, life does not seem to be simple. Regards

I am trying to decide on my first bandsaw that will have not to a stressful life as I am more of a serious amateur rather than a professional woodworker. In doing some research I have come across the name itech sold by Scott & Sargent. Has anybody got any experience of these saws, good or bad...

Hi I have just picked up on this thread & you have solved a problem for me, many thanks. It really is simple but effective. Can you please let me have some details of your dust extraction system. Is it 50mm waste pipe? & what is the dust extractor. Any help would be really appreciated...

Hi I use Robbins in Bristol, they have good stock & apart from one sheet they have all been flat & in good condition. They specialise in ply for the boat building industry & I have seen pallets ready to be shipped in the UK, N Ireland & France. For reasonable quantities there sales office...

Had one given to me for a Christmas present. After 3 months it will now give me two readings, a different reading depending on which way you face the box. this applies both vertically & horizontally. Asked Axminster if I could exchange beceuse I considered it had become faulty, because I did...
