    Dust Extractors

    Thank you for your response. I was looking at a charnwood which suggests it's air volume is 1000m3/h which I have read is what's required for pretty much all woodworking machines. So would I be able to use this with a cyclone? On the Axminster sit it suggests it has to be a 1.5HP extractor but...

    Dust Extractors

    Hello, I was at the Harrogate Show a few weeks back and I was looking at dust extractors. The guy at Lumberjack Tools was pointing me to their 1200 drum extractor and away from the larger bag / filter. He was telling me not to waste my money with the larger extractor as the suction would be...

    Trend Air Max Pro

    Hello, Happy New Year! So over the festive season I treated myself to a Trend Air Max Pro so I didn't have to use the faceshield, Ear Defenders and Half Mask together which is very cumbersome. So I fitted it and tested and it all seemed fine. I did about 2 hours turning yesterday and today...

    Cabinet Scraping

    Thank you for that why do you prefer butterfly key shape opposed to the thumb wheel? Its looking like a Stanley No 80 plane! I assume then by the response they save your thumbs from the heat and also fatigue? Is the Rider No 80 just a cheaper copy of the Stanley and not as good? I would...

    Dovetail Template hole

    Thanks for your responses. I have seen others which have two holes as well but again no idea why they are there. I love the idea of using it as a whistle though genius! Thanks

    Dovetail Template hole

    Hello, I have been using the below dovetail marker for a while now and it works fine. My question is what is the hole for on it? I have looked about and cant seem to find an answer but it seems to be on many designs? My only thought is maybe for a pencil or a scribe? To mark the wood but why...

    Planer / Thicknesser recommendations

    Hi Tom, Thank you for the recommendation unfortunately I literally don't have any room for something of that size. It would need to sit under my work bench and come out when needed. I have looked and I could probably get away with an 8 inch planer but the ones I seem to be finding are all in...

    Planer / Thicknesser recommendations

    Hello, A while ago I posted asking about a bench top P/T combo machine but as Sheppach have broken the line they were bringing out I have decided to get some dedicated machines. So after a bit of looking the Dewalt DW735 seems to have very good reviews and had a 100mm extraction which is what...

    Raising and lowering router

    Thank you all for your suggestions I have been looking around for means and way of doing this and stared at the router table in the garage and the scissor lift idea may not bee fee sable as the router tables frame seems to be in the way. So the bar used to raise and lower would not pass through...

    Raising and lowering router

    Hi, Thank you for the quick reply I have had a look and I know what you mean now about it being expensive! For completeness I have the following router table : Router Table Which accommodates my router out of the box and it does fit the T11 router for the functionality you suggest. If I can...

    Raising and lowering router

    Hello, I am looking at raising and lowering my router in the router table. As it currently stands I have to force the router up and hold it in position and then lock its position. Check the cutting depth and if wrong begin again. As you can imagine its not very accurate. I have looked online...

    Block plane vs shoulder plane

    Thank you both for your responses. I do like to chisel away when doing shoulders of tendons but as my sawing is lacking I end up making a bit of a mess. Practice i know but still need something for a good finish. After reading the paul sellers blog post i may look at investing in a small...
