The Fishing didn't go too well but the Golf was OK. :D Fishing Golf

I bought a planer, just need to get some off cuts now. :D Can anyone tell me how to avoid getting the lines at end of this test piece? Cheers, Paul. https://youtu.be/K63FXz2Jf6M

Hi Guys, Thank you for the input. I'm sure I read somewhere that one of these machines cuts to 2mm, but now I think I probably got that mixed up with cut depth #-o Good tips on packing it up.

Hi, What is the minimum thickness of wood that you can run through this machine? Edit: What I want is to be able to push through 5 or 6mm and plane down to 3mm Cheers, Paul.

Hey Martyn, Just looked at the ebay site. It is brilliant. I think a combination of that site and a planer/thicknesser I will get what I want. Cheers, Paul.

Hi Martyn, That's great. I will check it out and send them a message. I will report back. Cheers, Paul.

I suppose it would not take long to plane down from 6 to 3mm. On a scroll saw pattern I find that stains can add a bit of character. I actually like this idea of finding some old wood and putting it on the scroll saw. Cheers, Paul.

Looks like the way to go. Gives me a good excuse to get a planer/thicknesser :wink:

Hi Brian, I suppose I could go to 7inch. If I come across a retailer I will post up here. Cheers, Paul.

Thanks Brian for the links. The first link the sheets are under 6 inches. I tried to buy the European Oak boards a few weeks ago but they want more money for shipping than what the wood costs. I'm too tight for that :D Regards Paul.

I made a reply to you Brian and my post has some sort of error. Testing Testing

Hi All, Has anyone got links to a supplier of 3mm wood sheet. I can get Birch ply no problem, but I would like Oak or Walnut or anything that is not ply and I can get a pattern measuring 8 x 8 inch. Look forward to your suggestions. All the best, Paul.

Thank you guys for the info. At least it still runs. I only use the auto setting when I'm on the scroll saw, which is very handy.

That is exactly how it has worked since new for two years. Today was the first time it decided to do things differently.

Hi All, My vac turns on when switched to auto and no tool attached. When I plug a tool into the vac and turn the knob to auto the vac starts up straight away. Any help on this would be great. Regards Paul.

That is a great shame. I too get my Olson blades from them and have always had brilliant service and fast postage. Thanks for threads up. Regards Paul

Hi Paul. The only tool I use with my hegner is the key that releases the blade from the holder. Not sure what size but a spanner or adjustable would do the job. If it doesn't have one then I would get the quick release upgrade. I also prefer using a foot pedal. I love the Olsen blades from...

Thanks for the replies.

Hi all Could you please let me know of a good on line supplier of top quality ply for scroll work. I have used Hobbies and they have good service. The problem is I don't understand the grading numbers they use, can anyone share there thoughts on this. Cheers Paul

No problem, thanks for the heads up. Just got a voucher through the door today from Axminster.
