Ok sorry, I'd accept £100 for the morticer as it's like brand new and £300 for the clearvue extractor

I am getting too old to carry on now, so sadly I am going to start selling all my equipment from my workshop. The first thing I'm selling is this ClearVue extractor which I imported from the USA . Fitted my own power unit and filters. It was very expensive to set up but obviously it's not new...

Yes they are mitred corners. Haven't seen any putty used for years I never even thought about that. I have never actually used putty or seen any for sale. I'll have to have a look. I thought that If I leave the gap open and cover the whole corner topside with tape , allowing air to get...

Hi I built a cupola for my workshop 14 years ago and it is still in pretty good condition.. but a few years ago I noticed some rot where the corners of the sill had opened up I cleaned all of the corners out and filled with an epoxy filler and apart from some cracks round the edge of the...

Very good mate but You are way too cheap! absolute minimum I would charge is £25 when British gas were mucking me about I told them I was going to charge £25 for every letter of theirs I had to read and £30 for my reply. They were on the phone next day all apologies and it was sorted straight...

well if no one has actually tried it I might have to :( or I might not ;)

Yes I have thought of that but was just interested in using diamond paste and the proper way to use it.

Hi all I have a worsharp 3000 for honing my plane and chisel blades. the papers don't last all that long so my question is could I add diamond paste to the old worn out paper disks or would this rip them up? I have thought of making MDF disks instead would that be better? I did hear that the...

Oh well :( Thanks Chris at least you saved me some money .

what a good idea! :)

watch this guy, he uses a cheap plastic 'incra gauge' on a router fence http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtGht9YmG8o

OK Mick it looks like the wood whisperer has got it wrong then, it was his description of coplanar that I was going by, me? i haven't a clue lol

Now I'm confused. If the tables are parallel and are flat from front to back as well, surely that is co-planar? obviously in use the infeed is lower. So I set the angle gauge on to the out feed so that it measured the angle right to left along the length of the table and set it to zero. I then...

Thanks to all who replied. :) I'm hoping I don't need to file or scrape the cast Iron as I know I'd mess it up. :) Myfordman: thanks for that, I did find out that the "Powermatic" planers are Jet under a different name so I found a better manual which did describe adjusting "gibs" on the back...

Thanks Eric I did a search on Axminster's site but never found that one! that's a lot more affordable. what do you think about using the digital angle gauge though? in some ways it seems the perfect solution?
