It's all up and running, yah!! I picked up a dust extractor at a good price (then proceeded to break it and was forced into repairing hte fan rather than replacing it) It seems to do reasonably clean cuts and I'm making good progress turning a stock of sawn timber into square and planed timber...

There's a delay with the supplier so none of the bits will be posted until end of the month :-( Should there be this much slack on the belt drive (output side of the planer block). Seems quite a lot, particularly as there's quite a lot of "polishing" going on, which suggests the belt is...

Might be worth checking out the regulations of the IVA test. That is to say IF the van were to be presented for an IVA test, (as a kit car) - then would it pass? A worthy litmus test to satisfy your conscience. Nozzle

These are the type I have, with the slots in the back. They're £39 on the bay, and I assume they need a little more work to make them usable? Afterall - if someone is knowingly spending more cash on a pair of resharpenable blades, they must have the means to sharpen them (right???). I hope the...

Existing re-sharpenable blades are now with the local precision engineering shop being sharpened. I hope to get them back in a few days time. With enough luck and a following wind there will be enough meat on them to allow set up with the "travelling rule" method. 6mm isn't it?? mininozzle

Glynne, Thanks so much for going out of your way to take the photos and sharing them with me. The penny has dropped... the chip chute AND dust hood are both fitted, but in separate locations, when using the machine in planer mode! i.e one beside the infeed and the other beside the outfeed. I...

I would really appreciate seeing your photos thank you. I think our cutter blocks might be the same but the wedge shaped clamp arrangements might be different. (disposable blades are evidently ~1mm thick, HSS resharpenable ~3mm thick). I had a tip-off that the local lawn-mower guy might be able...

Update.... I note a set of lugs in the casting here - what sits in the small semi-circular ledge? This is underneath the surface table on the output side Mininozzle
