Thank you for your replies. One problem I have is not much flexibility with my Trend router table. As mentioned, i have the aperture for the router at its widest and it is still of a narrower diameter than that of the actual cutter. This restricts my ability to adjust the height of the cutter...

I had one of those days today in the workshop! You know when you got it all planned the night before regarding how much you got to do and get held up on something thats giving you grief! I have had a CMT mitre cutter for my router table for a while. Its a pretty big chunk of metal, and I just...

Instead of using power tools and jig templates, how about carving them I have been carving house signs for 30 years and begun with simple bevel edge chisels in sizes from 5 mm to the largest being 12 mm and the results are perfect. I either write the text on the wood direct with a normal...

I am currently scratch building my own kitchen and have just installed 14 pairs of Blum drawer runners. In not having ever fitted them before, they take a bit of working out, and this needs to be done before you make the drawers. Although they are brilliant, I was disappointed :( that I had...

The sagging is something I havent considered until now! Perhaps I will incorporate something to go across the underside to prevent this. Thanks again. Mark.r

Four years ago I purchased a metal tenon jig from America. It was to be used on my Scheppach TS2500 saw-bench. First I had to attach it to a runner that would fit neatly in the track that exists in the saw table. To date the only way I could achieve this was to size a piece of perspex which is...

I am using Tulip wood, and cutting it down from 30 to 15 mm to make the drawer sides and backs with 10 mm veneered mdf for the drawer bottoms. I read that it may pay to reduce the timber thickness by takingequal off both sides to prevent cupping if it was taken all off one side. Please let me...

Please cancel my request, I have located them on pdf! :D :D :D :D

At long last I have found a need for my Trend DJ300 dovetail jig that I have had for a while, and have just discovered that I have mislaid the instructions for use and assembly. :( :( Are there any forum users who have such a jig that would be willing to help me with their instructions...

I have a Scheppach spindle moulder and have just bought a 240v power feed to go with it. Its an ITECH 240v Power feeder. I am at a loss on how to connect it to the spindle moulder, and would appreciate advice on how this is done. There is no NVR switch on the power feed, and I assume this is...

:D :D :D Well due to your advice, I ordered a power feed for my Spindle moulder yesterday. They said it should be with me early next week. :D Am glad I have decided to fork out a little for something that will add to my safety and keep my paws away from the cutters. Mark.r

Thanks for the replies. Was hoping someone had such a book they no longer required. I note the advice for a power feeder. I would like to have one, in that it would take away the need to get so close to the cutters. At the moment, I am currently scratch-building our kitchen, so due to budget...

I went for the best I could afford at the time, and I have had extensive use out of it. It has been a joy to use, and I love its accuracy. I would seriously consider purchasing one second hand on E-Bay in order to get this model. I know its all down to personal choice, and some may disagree...

Hi there; Before I get into Spindle moulding, I would very much like to have a good book that covers the various aspects of the subject. Is there anyone who would be willing to sell me such a book (second hand of course), that they no longer require anymore. I would pay for postage obviously...

Apologies for not replying earlier to the responses to my query regarding which saw blade, but have been away. Many thanks for your replies to my query. Your advice has helped my selection. Its worth getting a second opinion on issues, and thats why this forum is superb, as it allows us to...
