    Which nails for nail gun

    I would class a 16 gauge as just a bit heavier duty than the 18 gauge which is more or less for finish work like trim but not anything like a passlode for framing work, it all depends on what you are doing, maybe the 18 gauge is all you will need, the 16 gauge can fire longer nails, and I would...

    Which nails for nail gun

    I have the Ryobi R18N 16G AirStrike, and it is the best nail gun I have ever had, I have had DeWalt in the past (2) but they were forever jamming, the Ryobi has not jammed once since I got it about 2-3 years ago and I use it quite a lot, I would recommend Ryobi nail guns, and the nails I use are...

    Festool sander

    I have been drooling over Festool sanders for a while now and wishing I could afford one, but then I got a letter saying I am getting some money in April, I will be 80 in April so the state pension people have very kindly said I am entitled to extra money, which is 25p per week?, I could save...

    Thanks, Woodmaker, I have a separate chip collector for the planer thicknesser and like you I will only use this cyclone for smaller stuff

    Thank you all for your input, I think I will go ahead and order one, Sideways it is a bit difficult to empty the Camvac as it is outside my workshop in an enclosure I built, with a chip extractor, to cut down on noise and they do take up a lot of room in a small workshop, so this Dust commander...

    Thank you Rob, I did see the one you have and it is about £65 cheaper, I think the only difference is the more expensive one is all steel, so maybe that is not so important in this case, nice to know that it is working well with your setup

    Thank you Sachakins, I have recently bought a new Record Power Bandsaw BS350, but I have not spent time setting it up yet, I have got some blades from Tuff saws, and I am waiting for some new top roller guides to be delivered, so I will try that, but will the cut be good enough for a good glue joint

    Riving knife

    Yes Spectric, thanks maybe you are right, I started with a glued-up board 440 wide in 25mm strips and by the time I recut and glued about 4 times I had 380mm, I suppose if I make the boards a bit wider to start with, it would be a lot easier, I am trying to figure out the maths, like what width...
