Andy Don't know a lot about woodworking yet but I do know something about longcase clocks (my wife complains if I have all ours synchronized at midnight) I would suggest that the first thing to do is make the seat board, which is where the movement sits, to fix down you use two u bolts which...

Another plus for Record, they know about and understand customer service. I must also echo the other comments, buy a bigger one than you think you need, I didn't first time! a costly mistake.

Paul Common misconception, electric chainsaws are just as likely to bite you as petrol. When I learnt to use chainsaws PPE was a bottle of Sun tan oil. I say that as it is a must to spend decent money on PPE but it must not be forgotton that this is only in case of everything going wrong not...

Nigel I am very happy with mine, used mainly to resaw oak. Was a little confusing to setup as the model had been updated but not the manual, this was not a problem though as I called the Record helpline and despite them not having seen the upgrades themselves talked me through it and even said...

You will find that you will have two areas to consider if it is a housing estate. You may well find that the developers have introduced a restrictive covenant, if so beware as your neighbours and the rest of the estate will also have the same and some people love to be petty! Area two will be...

Have to agree with the advice offered so far, I bought a bandsaw that was the right size for the work I do. Big waste of money despite being assured by the suppliers that it could do what I ,I had to give up and buy a much bigger saw that I am very happy with and has good backup, Record...

Looks like I have found a new supplier who thinks customers matter. Yes there is no way that I would behave as badly as the original poster. Congratulations Tritontools for standing up for yourself.

Pete I have a BS500 as well, when I setup this machine I thought yes OK good machine but the performance is, well adequate. Then I bought some Dure Edge blades and for good measure Dragon. I now have a great machine with fantastic performance. Getting some slight problems with tensioning the 1"...

Looks identical to the pine I got hold of from a roof of a house built in the 30's. I agree to one of the previous replies totally different to todays, great deal harder, clearly grown slower.

I went to the festival of the tree at Westonbirt this year and it was very interesting. There appeared to be two standards C**p and superb at the sales stands with virtually no difference in prices. The area of most interest was to me the Guilds and clubs, being a people watcher in the club...

If you come up to Tewkesbury Saw also worth going that little bit further to Toollite at Mitcheldean, lots of kit to compare although I have not had a lot of luck with getting advice there, better to go to Tewksbury Saw for that.

I had the same happen to a compressor at work, I took the "head" off and there was a foreign body in the inlet valve stopping it sealing, removed it, head back on, problem solved.

Call Dure-Edge on 0161 430 2647 tell them the length and what you want to do and you will get the right blade for the job. This was advice I got from this forum myself and it is some of the best advice I have had for years.

I have a Triton router table and think its great but I have never used another table. It is well designed and put together and I can do everything I want with it. I did make sure that I got a big router to go with it,which I suspect is important.

I just went along to our local bed shop when building the boat with my strange sizes and they just said they will cost you XXX pay now and you can have them next week. They told me it is a standard service from most manufacturers.
