Does anyone know if I can fit a wixey digital readout to a Sedgwick PT, about 6 years old? Thanks Steve

Hi, I have been waiting for mafell to bring out a router plate adapter to use with their guide rails, it turns out Bosch use the same rail design and they've recently bought out this new router plate. Does anyone have one and could provide a review or comment on whether it's any good. I'd be...

I purchased an old walker turner bench drill earlier this year, it looks similar to this one. Unfortunately it had a lot of run out, about 3mm!!! Fortunately it was just the chuck. After removing it I am left with a Jacobs Taper 33 machined directly onto the spindle. Can anyone recommend...

Hi, I would like to make something similar to this fitted bookshelf and need to decide on what material to use. Obvious choice that springs to mind is MDF however I really don't like working with it. It will be painted once finished. Any suggestions for material other than MDF welcome.

Please could someone let me know what wood is used for the sink countertops or an alternative wood that would look the same in colour? Thanks Steve

I picked up a Walker Turner Bench Drill from ebay about a month back. It looks great, really solid and cannot wait to get it out of my kitchen and in to the workshop, fortunately my girl friend is very tolerant of my ebay purchases waiting in the kitchen till I find space in my shop! I've got...

I am in the process of refurbishing sash windows in a Victorian house. I've been stripping all the old paint off using a Dewalt DW340 heat gun, this is my third one, they keep breaking, element stops working. Two questions: 1. Do I need to strip all the paint off with a heat gun or is there a...

I have just bought three sets of blades for my scheppach hms 2600 ci from applybywoodturnings. After setting up the blades and running a piece of wood through there is a thin line running all the way through the wood. It looks like my blades have a nick in them, how can this happen when I have...

Can anyone help me to identify what size blade I need 10 or 12 inch. I bought this Startrite Tilt Arbor a couple of months back and now need to get a new blade. The current blade is 10 inch however it looks as though it will take bigger. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STARTRITE-BEN ... true&rt=nc...

I am in the process of a large renovation project. I've lifted lots and lots of Victorian pine floor boards and spent many many hours removing all the tiny tacks and pieces of metal in order to run the all through my planer, don't worry I've used a metal detector to ensure I don't kill my...

So I am looking to purchase my first table saw... very excited but also quite confused. My plan is to make a kitchen, yes quite ambitious but I like a challenge. I recently picked up a used scheppach planer thicknesser hms 2600 ci and am now looking for a table saw. My budget is around £500-700...

Hi, I have just bought a second hand Scheppach HMS 2600 ci which has had very little use. This is my first workshop tool so I am very excited however need some advice. The fence (I think this is what it is called) does not run parallel to the cast iron table, i.e. there are lines running...
