    Wanted Someone to do a small CNC or laser cutter project

    Hi, I have a couple of logos which i need to get cnc templates made for. I have the files in .eps and .ai, so it would involve creating a vector file and then cutting out of 6mm acrylic or ply. The logos are really quite small, will need to work out the exact dimensions but some 60 x 25 mm ish...

    For Sale Camvac Triple motor 90l dust extractor CVG-386-6

    This is the Triple motor 3kw Camvac, which is on a wheeled base. It has been used in a hobby workshop, so has only seen sporadic use (I have a ducted system for the static machines, so this has only been used with mitre saw and for hand power tools). It has a 100m duct but has a reducer fitted...

    For Sale Workbee CNC 1.5m x 1.5m

    I have a Workbee CNC, which has been assembled for around a year, which i am looking to sell. It is a 1.5m by 1.5m belt driven machine, with a 1/4 inch makita router as a spindle. I bought it to make jigs for guitar making, but it has only been used half a dozen times as it is taking me far too...

    Setup for a beginner - really long shopping list

    Although there is some overlap there are a lot of specialised luthier tools either to make life easier/quicker or more accurate. You can build an entire acoustic guitar by hand and there are some who still do this. If you plan to only build one or two and have the time then this could be a good...

    Peter Sefton Long Courses

    I have done some of the short courses that John Lloyd offers and found them really good. He is a great tutor and has a good workshop set up. If you want to try something a little different Peter Lanyon in Devon runs week long green woodworking courses, with accommodation available a walking...

    When I started out making furniture I bought from britishhardwoods in Yorkshire. I ordered over the phone and the delivery charges were reasonable. I have since found a local supplier for oak, but do still order from them for American walnut and beech on occasion. SL hardwoods are reasonable but...

    Table / Panel saw advice

    The dust collection is pretty good, i haven't had many other table saws to compare it to. I also use a different crown guard that has a 60mm hose to it so pulls a lot more air off the top of the blade.

    Table / Panel saw advice

    Thanks for the tip, will have a look. I should have added that I only have single phase, which can restrict second hand purchases...

    Table / Panel saw advice

    I am looking to upgrade my current Charnwood W650 machine to something a little better. I have found the depth of cut to be fine on the Charnwood, but the stickiness of the fence with the fine adjust on, the non-standard mitre slot and the accuracy of the carriage mean that i want something a...

    Bandsaw issue

    The curved cuts that i have made (I rarely cut curves so can remember them) were both in 25mm (ish) thick oak, one was around 250mm long but not far off straight, the other was only 90mm but tighter - probably a 150mm radius circle.

    Bandsaw issue

    I am pretty sure the blade isn't blunt - it still cuts easily on cross cuts. How easily does the set go out on band saw blades? For instance, would cutting a single fairly tight circle on a 5/8 blade (as opposed to changing to say a 1/2 or 3/8) through the set out? I use reasonably good...

    Bandsaw issue

    It is a 3 or 4 tpi i think, i would have to check and get back to you as it was a replacement for another blade that i had a problem with. It has been used mostly for straight cuts with probable a few curved cuts that weren't a particularly tight radius

    Bandsaw issue

    I would appreciate anyone's advice with the following as i have played around quite a lot with the adjustment and not really got anywhere... I have a Startrite 352 E bandsaw that takes a blade up to 1 inch. I have been having an issue recently with blade tracking when performing rip cuts, with...

    Table saw dust extraction

    Are there any saw guards that you recommend as the SUVA guard itself is a tad expensive! I have checked and my extractor will take a 200mm duct, so going to put that in rather than 150. However, the inlet on the machine is only 100mm so I guess there will always have to be a length of 100mm...

    Table saw dust extraction

    I have finally got around to trying to improve the pitiful dust extraction from my table saw, but am a bit stumped as to what to do, any advice would be much appreciated. I have a Charnwood W650 table saw, which is fitted with a crown guard with an extraction hose coming off the back, with a T...

    Have you thought about gluing a couple of 40mm wood worktops together? Can be a good cheap option.

    Rip cut thick timber

    I have a couple of of the cheaper Axminster roller stands, not sure if they would be man enough though. What blade would you use? I have a few different ones, but would a 3/4 inch M42 blade (from tuff saw) work? Thanks.
