    Trig formula for splayed box

    Woodchippy777 You keep repeating that you want the "the top edge butt joint angle" but you fail to identify which angle this is on your sketches. If you really do want help with this, then I think that you should be willing to identify the angle when requested to.

    Trig formula for splayed box

    Which angle is the "top edge butt joint angle". Are the angles of 60, 63.4 and 26.6 given angles. Such a limited view of the item does not help me much. Is anyone else clearer about the matter?

    Trig formula for splayed box

    As previously stated, a sketch would be helpful. What is it you are after, other than trig equations that you already use/know?

    Metabo BAS 318 - 1st Bandsaw

    I no longer have the standard fence - I changed it for a home made one following Steve Maskery's design. I incorporated his 'micro adjustment' system too. Both have prooved to be very good.

    Metabo BAS 318 - 1st Bandsaw

    I have the BAS 316 - this is my method to get a straight cut (i.e parallel to the fence). 1. Align the fence to the mitre slot - this is so that :- a. You will be able to use the mitre slot for square cross cuts. b. The mitre slot becomes a fixed reference if the fence gets...

    Charnwood 570 P/T (and the copies) - Chip Extraction ?

    The cross-hatch plastic is probably there to prevent someone putting their hand inside. I think it is worth removing this to see the effect

    Elektra Bekum 316g or RP sabre 250

    What is this drill bit used for please?

    I think it could be a counterboring drill bit. The smaller diameter part, pilots in an existing hole, and the larger diameter cuts a counterbore. It might be a metalworking drill and used when counterboring for socket head capscrews.

    Putting the Dewalt DW625EK router into a table

    I mounted that model router onto a UJK plate and used the Woodrat plungebar to lift and lower the spindle PlungeBar — WoodRat . At approx £40 it is considerably cheaper. It is a coarse, but quick adjustment. Fine adjustment is achieved by using a box spanner on a replacement nut on the height...
