if thats what is being reffered to nowa days as "quality" ide hate to see what THEY classify s a s**t piece... thats astounding how they can market that at 15 euros too... I would have taken it back and said "im sorry, but this is false advertising, it clearly says quility, of which the boxes...

Thanks for that tj, i may be able to get someone to fabricate me something up, but it would be a little easier with some dimensions of an original at least, hence why i thought getting a replacement would just be so much easier, i will certasinly get in touch with AMS and Mr Harris and see if...

ive used both an old wadkin and an old multico morticer, both were beautifull to use, but the multico was somewhat "stiff" maybe some bearings just needed a little grease... May i ask, tjwoodms, where i could get a fence for my old wadkin machine as, while its a beautifull and smooth opperating...

i would have allowed the timber to rest for quite a while in your work shop if i was you, so im with moose on pulling it apart, but then i would either laminate it like the core of lamin board (after a fair amound of drying and re surfcaing inad shaping) or i would do what you have done, Its...

Hello Fraseman, I recomend if you have somewhare like yandles, or tewkesburry saw (my local machinery dealer) that you give them a ring and ask if it would be possible to be shown how to set up a machine similar to yours, or to have them come out and show you how to set up yours, Its no good...

Hi John, Is it specificaly a small bandsaw you would like? and whats your sorta budget range, as i would recommend startrite but i don't have a clue what there start price is, you can buy a really good 20" bs of them for about £1000 though mind which is pretty damn good Sammy

band saw? if you set the fence up correctly (as some arent nececarily square) then i would have thought that would work well, put it this way, krenov used to use an 18" band saw for cutting ANYTHING to size and shape, Sammy

If you apply on the felder website, they will send you a catologue and you can also see prices on the internet, its expensive, but its build in the old ways, like a modern wadkin, robinson, whitehead etc etc I advise if pirce is a concern, a startrite bandsaw, brilliant value for money, and...

If customer service is what your after and price brackets are unimportant, the best machines on the market are felders in my opinion, Robert ingham and a chap i know swear by them, im looking to get some of there stuff for myself, but at 8000 + for a single phase combi unit without too many add...

Hello Patricia, My father who was a carpenter and joiner of very high skill level for around 40 years, he has used a lot of kitty machines in his time and says they were brilliant machines, and when he saw them for sale they were good value, but, i think his experience was in the single...

to be honest, i know ive not got aq lot of experience on here, but ive got my fair share of experience for a young lad, and i feel its worth just getting somethign you like and are happy using, and somethign with as many uses as possible if size is a prime factor, like how many uses a band saw...

they have on TBT olnes hand forged by a traditional blacksmith at the williamsberg museum and forged, i have one of the striking knifes made by the same guy, STUNNING is all i will say... Sammy

some pictures would be lovely pleeease :) Sam

screw the rojek joints! you should be sticking to the good old english bomb proof kit, the wadkins and the robinsons etc etc, you wont ever have a problem with them, treat em right and theyle outlast a neuclear war! ha ha Sammy

well, it cuts really damn slow, but leaves a fairly pollished surface, I have what i presume is a washita stone too, it looks like Arkansas but its obviously an oil stone, as when tested with one and then the other, the difference was starteling, about 1000 grit, i recon as it leaves a misty...
