Ear plugs and a vaccum cleaner, best invest!

Hi there py6km! Firstly I've only read your original post, and not all the replies, i got as far as " there being a local club, but want to jump straight in".. I'll read all the replies in a second, but heres my 2p... I did pretty much the same, i had a small workshop, and do quite a lot of...

I did much the same, I use the router to do shelf pin holes, so i drilled a suitable sized hole, in my case 16mm (because thats the smallest guide bush i had at the time), evenly spaced in a pice of perspex, then use router twist bit (mines trend, as they make a bit specially for it) then plunge...

If it were me, I'd carve my name or logo in the bottom and present it to the local verger/vicor, hopefully then it would be used, and lots of people would be expossed to your work, might work out better than trying to sell it.... and score you a few brownie points for a later date. :wink:

If you google "woodsmith magazine" or find them on iTunes, they put out loads of video podcasts. At least 5 or 6 of them are for table saws, they are about 45 minutes in length and are very interesting and informative. definately worth a quick look...

I rather like it, to me it looks a bit like a chuch donation bowl. Very Nice indeed!

I struggling with what your trying to acheive... are you trying to keep a set distance for the end of a gouge from the grinding jig, or the bar rest from the stone? I have a tiger 2000, and for chisels and irons i just make sure the tool is set square to the rest, then shift the bar in or out...

PLEASURE! Don't forget to post some pics and update us, would love to see the finished product :)

:) tell me about it!

Good choice! I wish I'd waited a few weeks, and got that one rather than the one i did now, but only as i'm now trying to work it up to it's limit more than i thought i would - TYPICAL! - Am jelous now :mrgreen: !

That reminds me, not sure where abouts you are.... My local Timber merchant in cambridge is a family run affair, any they do stock all the individual window pieces ready moulded for repairs, and new windows, the company covers pretty much the whole of east anglia, and (speaking only for the guys...

Which one did you go for in the end?

Just to echo Greggy, I completely agree, once you discover the benefits of a router, you'll be amazed what it can do! Check out the trend website, and also Wealden tools, they both have sections on hint And tips, and trend have projects. The guy who writes for Wealdens (ron fox) knows just...

Personally, I'd get a bench, and make a stand with a bit of storage under. I'pretty tall, so am rather fussy about the height of my year, my drill press, lather and bandsaw are all bench top models on home made stands. Also, I don't need bigger stuff, (and I'm pretty tight too!)

Might make for an interesting experiement! and worth a punt for 10p at a car boot for an old max bygraves!

:oops: not much help without the link! http://www.timnott.co.uk/Stuff/sashwindows.pdf

That's what I hoped he'd say ! :D ( I was only about 95% sure so I didn't want to give duff info)..... Nice idea with the stain - didn't think of that, but does seem pretty obvious now you point it out! :)

You may also find that the ammount of travel on the thrust bearing is not enough to make contact with the back of the blade, and keep the teeth clear of the side bearings. Currently my setup uses the original guide bearings, and in order to have the blade not rup on the side guides i have to set...

Its the BS250, the benchtop one. I get the blades mailorder from http://www.trucutbandsaws.co.uk/index.htm I just ring up and quote the length i want. almost every time the blades have arrived the next day, and the quality seems good.
