    Track saws?

    For my limited use, I've bought Saxton Blades and they seem to be fine. I've only used them for cutting up cheap hardwood ply for garage shelves and bits and bobs so far though and all my work is only for myself and my garage so the quality of cut is fine. I did a slab path in my garden in the...

    Track saws?

    Good call! Took a bit of finding, bit they are available. TTS068 is the part number for them, just have to be content with black instead of red! 😂. Tool Spares Online. ADJUST CAM They're not in stock there at the moment, but I least they're available. My brother popped down earlier, he's a cnc...

    Track saws?

    How does yours fit on the Makita track? I've had mine about a year or so now, and bought a 3m Makita rail, then added a Makita 1.5m rail. I found the Makita rail is ever so slightly narrower than the Erbauer rail and when new the saw would only just adjust enough to snug down on the guide. Now...

    Track Saw

    I've got a Makita 3m rail, and I was worried what state it would be in by the time it got to me. It turned up in its own wooden coffin made from some 3/4x1 batten sandwiched between 2 pieces of 9mm MDF. I've just bought a 1.5m rail and that came well padded in a cardboard box.

    Track Saw

    I have yes, albeit only with an old Henry hoover. Like many seem to do, I taped over the hole for the blade retaining bolt and whilst it probably won't score that highly in Peter Millard's black bag dust test, the extraction does seem to work well. My biggest problem is usually remembering to...

    Track Saw

    After seeing all of Peters tracksaw videos and having just built a garage that needed shelving, cabinets and a bench making I bought the Erbauer saw. My heart wanted the Festool, but I just couldn't justify the extra £300 or so, plus any extra rails I may need. Using some of what I've saved I...

    What are the basic 'dogs' I need for my new bench? Theres alot of choice!!

    I probably should now do an update of my progress of the MFT, bench dogs and portable bench...... Only I can't. I ordered everything but then got got tied up hacking off the last of the black mortar in the second bedroom (what a glorious job that is!) and haven't spent any time in the garage...

    Which Wi-Fi mesh?

    I bought a Tenda Nova system in about June and it's been working well. I can now walk from the front bedroom out to the garage at the end of the garden and not lose WiFi. The nodes have got ethernet ports in them so if something hasn't got WiFi but has an ethernet port you can add it to the...

    Is there such thing as an Auto extractor power switch that is attached to a festool extractor?

    I'd forgotton about this thread until I just noticed a notification in my inbox. I found a few different DIY ways of doing it but I've not had the time to look in to them, although when I do have time I probably will go that way, if nothing else I enjoy a good electronics project. I looked in...

    electrical testing

    pipper me that's dodgy! Probably been happily working away like that for years. I wonder how that effected their meter readings!

    electrical testing

    I'm gonna go for either a reverse polarity connection or a live making contact with a neutral via a sharp bit in a conduit. My dad was a sparky from when he was 16 til a couple of years ago when he retired, and living in a small valley and a member of the rugby club there would often be phone...

    Traditional Cooper - George Smithwick - History and how to make a wooden bucket

    I've got no pre-existing interest in buckets or coopering, but I happily sat here for the best part of an hour and thoroughly enjoyed that. Especially liked the bit about how he started. Ive got a hankering for a wooden bucket now, probably a bit wasted just for washing the car though!

    ERBauer (ERBRT 3-240 ) Router

    I looked in the manual and it doesn't list any spare parts in there. The adapter looks like this It goes inside the normal 1/2 collet just like a 1/2 bit would The 1/4 bit then goes inside the adapter so when you tighten the collet nut it tightens the 1/2 on to the 1/4 and the 1/4 on to...

    ERBauer (ERBRT 3-240 ) Router

    I've got an ER2100 and it's got a sort of 'fixed' 1/2 collet, but then has a 1/4 collet that goes inside the 1/2 collet. I'll try and remember to take a photo of how it goes together tomorrow if you want. Have you tried looking for a manual to see if it list spare parts? I'll have a check in...
