Yep, I'm gonna give the Lumberjack PU a try I think, Not sure if I'll go for 5 or 30 min stuff yet. I spose 30 min would be fast enough. The Gorilla stuff I have doesn't seem to say what type it is other than D3, but it is water soluble, the other thing I dislike about it is, on darker wood if...

Its for general use, both Hard and softwoods, joints, small cupboards, mirror/picture frames, boxes and also interior and exterior furniture and garden items.

That helps alot Jake, thanks. I'll look into Titebond 3 as well.

Its the Gorilla PVA I'm not impressed with actually, I'm looking at Everbuild Lumberjack PU or titebond PU, I'll keep with the German PVA for light work, and where time isn't an issue. I'm interested in the cascemite though, I want to look into that more.

I recently bought me some Gorilla wood glue, thinking it was a good idea due to popularity and some recommendations, I am dissapointed to find that its no better in any respects than anything I have tried before, not as strong as some others, in fact the (German) stuff I got from Lidl is...

I mostly get by, but height is the real problem regarding a replacement bandsaw, most bigger/better ones are on a stand and these are unlikley to fit on my workbench when removed from the stand, I can't afford to lose storage space by cutting the end off the bench to fit one in on legs or making...

Thanks Jake, just what I want... A helpful answer, I do have quite low headroom in my 'workbox' - 6'3" and I'm 5'11" - what is the advantage of bearings over solid guides apart from friction? I would go for a s/h one but private sellers are not usually willing to post, and there are not many...

I posted a similar question on another site and it was trashed, along with the Basato1 and Charnwood w715, and recomending bigger second hand Dewalt, Startrite etc, I'm not a professional user and I can't have such a large machine in my small workshop - somehow I can't help thinking that some...

Has anyone experienced the Fox F28-186 Bandsaw, has it pins or bearings for the guides, is it a recommended purchase, should I go for the Basato 1 with 50mm less cutting height, or the charnwood w715 (is it a re-badged Fox?) all machines are within my £200 budget and my list of requirements.

Thanks, Resawing is not a major requirement really as I have a table saw - It would just be handy. Something a bit better built and maybe allowing more depth of cut, 100mm would be fine, as I said, the Ferm is OK - just poor quality and a bit inaccurate, it needs a new tyre but I would rather...

2" Oak, maybe 4" softwood possibly a bit of resawing, The Ferm copes pretty well but I want a bit more power, flexibility and reliability as it has seen better days. Another thing I forgot to mention is size, It has to be a bench top as floor space, as well as height is an issue - there's just...

Hi people, I have a mere 170 squid in my hand and have come across these options... I have narrowed my search for a new bandsaw down to: Sealey SM1304 or Scheppach Basato 1. Has anyone any experience of either machine? I err to the Basato, but am I just being swayed by the triple roller...
