Following interest from members, I will be making some flanges soon to the original DW dimensions. Price is £20 plus £3.15 UK second class signed for postage Payable via paypal gift (you pay the charges that way!) or better option all round- bank transfer. PM me if you are interested...

4mm glass in the doors will weigh less than say 18mm mdf so with your proposed width, I can't see a problem there. 6mm toughened glass supported at 1/4 and 3/4 along the length should be fine but if you must support from the ends alone, tot up the weight you need to support and consult your...

Pete - you have pm Bob

I have only two more lock kits available after supplying one to Jetsetwilly. Please note the contact details in the footer of my messages if you want to get in touch. Bob

Chronos and RDG supply drill chucks with female tapers as well as arbours MT1 to fit their chucks. Choose your chuck first and then the arbour to fit. Usually JT3 or B16 in a 16mm chuck To be honest 16mm chuck is too big for this machine but it is doable if you respect its limitations. Bob

Good luck Pete, We are arriving in NZ on 16th November for 3 weeks holiday so maybe you could put the kettle on for a brew? Bob

These folk have a very good reputation. http://www.ctctools.biz/servlet/StoreFront I've just bought a set of ER32 collets from them and they are top notch. Turned up from HK in a few days having been opened by customs and no charges made. Maybe that part was luck. £71.28 including airmail...

Jennifer, that is the supplier that I recall Robert using on the Wood Haven forum I mentioned earlier. Bob

Do you need plywood? I think you can get 1.5mm thick veneers in various hardwoods. Someone on another forum certainly used thick oak veneer on a project a while back. Bob

You would need one hell of a single phase supply to run a converter satisfactorily. Add that to it needing to be indoors to be any good, sounds like you can pass it on to your mate and get him to let you use it every now and then. If you want to board out logs then how about an Alaskan mill with...

If you have got the space, keep it. Unless it is fitted with all the current safety gizmos, it is unlikely to have a huge market value compared to the jobs that it will do with ease in an enthusiasts workshop. Bob

All supports my theory of marginal cooling. When did you last blow out dust from the motor? Bob

Doug is also a very good source of planer knives. Bob

WD40 is NOT a penetrating fluid and is virtually useless for this. It is a water displacer - the clue is WD Proper penetrating fluid such as plus gas is the stuff to use. Bob
