Many thanks Graham. Appreciate your time. Very sad as these are brilliant products. All my stock has gone so will have to find another brand.

Thanks. No you're not being rude. I've found a few stockists but all they seem to sell is water based from this Brand not oil based. There are lots of stockist in America. If you spot one please let me know.

Hi Does anyone know who stocks General Finishes Gel oil based stain please in the UK?

I would concur what Roy has tried to advise you about. So many go down a machine route to then upgrade it at a later date. It's sometimes not clear but in the end its cost effective. Take a look at the Trend PRT router table. Very good working and support working surface. If you have a Trend...

Well Jonm, you have had lots of advice and I'm not sure how far you have got. I've been helping people with Kity (and other makes) bandsaw problems for a very long time. I have a 613 which I have owned for over 25yrs - they are great machines. I use it for smaller work now as I have a large...

Ok I'll remove my cover and check to see what my set is. I'll help as mich as I can but It might be better if you PM me with your phone number so we can talk - a lot easier.

Obviously there is is something wrong. Lets go backwards. Was it working fine at one point? Have you done or did anything happen leading up to when the problem started? For example did you change anything like a belt or a setting? What's the width (mm) of the outer belt? I'll try and help by...

I have the same machine. In addition to the good advice from Alasdair, I notice that the flat belt seems to be extremely close to the poly V belt - the flat belt is off center yet it is very close to the V belt and it shouldn't be - with the belts in their central position you should have 8mm...

Like others have said and before you go any further - ensure your square and set up is 100% square - simply find a flat reference, like a piece of wood properly squared and clamp it to a board or bench edge with a level surface. Stick a piece of A4 paper on the level surface that abutts the...

Many thanks for the helpful feedback. It is appreciated.

Many thanks to everyone for their useful feedback. It is appreciated.

Sounds like your on the right track Ian. Keep us posted. Ian, Pete and any other person can I get your opinions on the following matter please. I read (on many of the American forums like Lumberjacks) and have experienced the dreaded problem when stock infrequently slips and can stop, albeit...

In addition to other advice take a look at the Startrite models like the 502e (grey ones) the Axminster professional range (blue). These are great but you will only get them secondhand but well worth the waiting.

Thanks Tom

Hi To all drum sander owners. My question refers to the Drum Sanders Conveyor belt only. Has anyone purchased and used a BND abrasive belt for their machine. I have never bought one from them and would like to know if the belts quality and performance is good or bad and as they use a p100...

Hi I see you bought the BND conveyor belt but some time ago. Have you fitted it yet and is it any good ? Any issues ? I need to buy one and would be grateful of any comment 're the belts performance. Thanks

The ideal is to have separate machines. It makes life far much easier and its far more work efficient. No faff with moving tables and fences. However, the cost could be more and you need a larger working footprint. With out doubt, cast iron table tops and heavy/medium machines are tops. If you...

Sanding the main flat side of stock when you have edge bevels or shapes you don't want to disturb, corner shaping, shaping and flatening , absolute loads of techniques that you can do when working wood. As been said, letting the stocks weight assist sanding is often safer as your hands are...

Another option is Trend. They have 1/4 or 1/2 inch or 8mm shaft spiral up or down cutters. Request a catalogue from a stockists like Miles Tool & Machinery - very helpful staff.

Put simply; save up and buy a quality saw. There are excellent secondhand ones that come on the market. Yes they may need a little bit of work but they will probably out-live you plus it will hold its value should you need to sell it or upgrade. You will not regret it.
