Evening all. I'm looking into supplies and costs for wiring up a new three phase system. Previously setup had wall mounted isolators, followed by a separate wall mounted socket that the machines plugged into. Looking around, there are units available which comprise a box fitted with a socket...

Afternoon all. I'm setting up a Wadkin UO/S planer thicknesser at the moment. I've replaced a broken stud that forms the spring holder to tension one side of the infeed roller, and I've set that roller to the bed with a DTI and checked over the chip breaker, pressure bar and outfeed roller as...

Apologies if this was put up at Christmas- a little blog post that I'm sure you'll enjoy... http://spitalfieldslife.com/2010/12/24/ ... od-turner/

The perceived wisdom/ lore/ superstition is that Turkey oak is 'rubbish'. I come across it fairly regularly when I'm milling trees for people and I've always been cautious about giving it the thumbs up, so I'd like some ideas rather than condemning it outright. Has anyone tinkered with it and...

Hi folks, I've been lurking for a while! In awe of the skills and dedication on the forum. I've never plucked up the courage to get posting, as I feel it's a bit rude coming on here in a (partially) commercial capacity. I'm a mobile sawyer who has come into timber and woodworking from a tree...
