    Latest thing you have printed / machined / cut

    I can certainly send them to you. PM me please. I'll enclose a 3D printed guide for drilling the holes in the machine. You'll also have to source a short length (36mm) of rod to act as the hinge.

    Latest thing you have printed / machined / cut

    A slap-it-off paddle for my ancient table saw. My Elektra Bekum table saw just has two 15mm buttons to turn it on or off. I want an off switch actuator that is more readily available, the sort where you don't have to find when something goes wrong or you can operate with your knee. Designed from...

    Wow! Some jokes! Anyone would think someone's complained there weren't any here on the joke thread. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    There is a brand called ADOLA who make knives sold through Wolfswinkel GMBH. Could the 'underline' be a stylised A? The current trademark is somewhat different though. Just my penny worth (though it's probably not even worth a penny! )

    Router table / router question

    And of course if you have access to a 3D printer you can always print a simple jig to either make a circular jig to give you an accurate centre to mark out from or a larger one you can drill through where your router mounting holes should be or something in between. Have fun Martin

    3D printer location

    Yes though not so you'd notice. I don't notice any/much ABS smell when its printing. I have seen that some owners have but additional extraction onto their Roboxs and/carbon filters but I've never bothered.

    Removing a wash hand basin

    This where Sod's applies: the dynamite will remove the WHB, the wall and the copper pipes but I'll lay money on it NOT unblocking the trap! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    3D printer location

    My Robox RBX01 lives in it's standard enclosure upon my desk indoors. I have it sitting on blocks of high density foam to reduce the sound by blocking the reverberations and the desk top acting as a sounding board. I only print ABS but take no precautions to keep the filament from absorbing...

    Removing a wash hand basin

    A couple of months ago I removed a WHB that was fixed to the wall using a couple of french cleat style brackets (each one about 1" long). It just lifted off. Of course I didn't realise that until I'd started removing screws. Yours could be similar but with the screws hidden under the basin...

    Rotary tool... Dremel or something else?

    How about your oval holes in two pieces of say 10mm thick wood and then space them so they are 55mm apart, fixed to a backing piece? In other words a U shaped affair with the holes in the uprights? Does that make any sense?

    Marples No2200 square restoration questions

    I too was taught/told to mark-up using the outside edge of the blade and more times than other do use that. But I just occasionally find I have to use the inside. Also if I'm checking a second face is square to the first, for example if I am planing a batten, then I invariably use the inside...

    Speaker boxes/cabinets

    An interesting thread. My partner's father used to work for the BBC, then left and set up Spendor. His son took over the company and sold it on his retirement. However his services are still demanded so he's still busy well into his 70's designing speakers.

    So how do I do this?

    @GeoffW and @peter-harrison thanks for your informative videos. I'll follow one method or the other. Martin

    So how do I do this?

    I'm putting shelves into an alcove and would like to scribe them into the two side walls. I have a shelf currently wider than the space between the side walls so it obviously doesn't go in so that I can scribe either end. I can't see how to do it short of scribing a short piece in at each end...

    Looking to buy a replacement router for a UKJ lift without a NVR switch?

    @dvddvd Not for my Erbauer but I can only speak for that one.

    Looking to buy a replacement router for a UKJ lift without a NVR switch?

    I have an Erbauer router under my router table with a built-in NVR switch. I've just held it in the 'on' position with a cable-tie. Crude but simple.

    Joke Thread 4

    It's the joke thread itself that has become the joke. 😰😰😰 The joke thread is dead - again. Long live the joke thread.

    speed control switch

    I notice in the excellent photos @ajs has posted there are three cables exiting the box. One is incoming mains and a second must be the motor: what is remaining one, the one on the right? Am I correct in assuming it's the little puffer motor thingy that blows the dust away? I also notice the...

    speed control switch

    I've just revisited this thread and have two comments. @ajs suggested a particular speed control pot, one with a metal shaft. From a safety point of view this would not be recommended because the pot is connected to the incoming mains live. One with a non-conductive/plastic shaft would be...
