I recently bought a cheap dovetail jig from Amazon - it's an identical copy of the silverline jig that seems to have many clones including the Axcaliber from Axminster.
Build quality is great and I have no issues with that.
Operation is smooth and accurate and the parts look good when cut...
I have heard many people say this, but strangely mine works ok.
When you remove the blade you can lift the top wheel out of the machine and can see the cam that should push the wheel assembly down - I wonder if the cam is just upside down?
Thanks for the replies.
I have been using tuffsaws blades.
So this saw is a rebadged Ryobi - and checking the specs for that saw, it says the blade should be 1572mm.
So a question for the titan users - does your blade sit neatly in the middle of the guides or is it quite far to the right-hand...
I wonder if anyone else has a similar problem with the titan (rebadged ryobi) bandsaw?
I have fitted a new blade and increased the blade tension as much as possible, but there still seems to be about 4mm too much slack in the blade and it doesn't sit in between the guides. (I have pushed the...
Can't help but think that this is an unfair comment.

The definition of an accident is something that...

I recently bought the Titan 16l workshop vac to use as a dust extractor for a few tools :-
titan track saw
titan bandsaw
parkside bench sander
various handheld sanders
Can anyone recommend some adaptors that will help the standard hose fit this variety of tools?
Thanks for all the advice everyone!
Got the first side framed-up this weekend - hopefully progress should be quicker now that I have the hang of it.
Lost quite a few drill bits to skewed pilot-holes though..
Thanks for all the replies!
So I tried skew nailing (and screwing!) last night - and it definetely makes for a much more secure join.
A couple of problems though (1) skew nailing - once the nail is most of the way in it becomes difficult to hammer any further without damaging the wood. Is a...
