I'm unsure where blunt or knackard knives are mentioned???? Tip one mentions tips wearing behind others but we are talking such small amounts it won't be rounding the edges off to a blunt knife. Remember Everything has a tolerance, us humans fit them. Lets through another twist onto the...

Tersa Money Saving Tip No.2 We all know of the 4 major grades of Genuine Tersa knives, Chrome, HSS, M+ and the Carbide. People are hesitant at times to step up the grades and to see the advantages each grade gives. Remember one knife will do all but not to its optimum. To Save the most amount...

It does now. Everyone likes a freebie. Just remind us again what size is it to fit your machine? Think above its states a few sizes.

Yeah I'd also say a Negative hook angle blade is a must for a Mitre, Snip or Cross cut machine. Finish will be perfect and they never snatch. Take a look at the 254mm 60 tooth CMT Blade Ref, 294.060.10M Or the Trend 254mm 60 tooth Ref, CSB/CC25460T Both are great little blades that have a...

You would need a Brand New made to order Tersa Block on a New shaft. Simply add the bearings to the ends and install into your machine, Some machine castings need to have a hole drilled into one side to allow for the knives to be extracted but its not a major problem. With your machine it uses...

Who's got a wide Tersa block but never uses the full width?

TERSA Money Saving Tip No.1 Although Tersa is a Super Super high tolerance knife location system it will still only give a single knife finish. Meaning one knife will be sticking out of the block a microscopic amount more than the others and it will be this knife that is leaving the finish on...

Well great question actually. Lots of pro's and lots of con's. 2 types of spiral heads. Both using Carbide tips. Compared to a Tersa HSS head and obviously it will last longer Spiral heads use carbide tips. Will it give a cleaner edge no. In short HSS is a very stable material and can be...

Try chains direct they are only 2 units down from us and have all the big names.

I second the above. Tersa's advantage is its versatility and there is no such thing as one knife suits all. Pick correctly from the above and it will out perform all other finishing heads out there. Been linked with Tersa for almost 20 years now and they still won't confirm the grade of the...

Just a bit of extra info on the Axminster extension. To prevent you extending it too far out of your existing routers collet the shank on the Axminster extension is stepped. It is a true 1/2" at the top and the bottom but in the middle it is made slightly under. The idea is if your pull it out...

Hook angle is everything. Always aim for -5 degree for Mitre, Snip and pull on Cross Cuts. The negative blades don't snatch or walk/climb into your work piece. Most negative blades have a standard alternative top bevel (ATB) tooth that breaks the timber fibres before removing the middle and some...

Hello to all, Just a quick update on our briquette and burner situation. After along lengthy process we took the plunge and purchase the entry level briquette machine form PH and we have been making briquettes since October and stocking them untill the next portion of funding was available to...

Yeah I thought that as well but all heater companies state the obvious, if you throw the dust in it can combust. One did say put it into a shoe box and then put it in the fire but someone else said that will just smoulder and not give a flame with heat required? Situation is we currently run...

Hi all, Has anyone come across the PH Briquette Press ?? http://phbriquettepress.webs.com/ We are a small business that is fed up with sending skips full of chippings and saw dust to land fill with rising prices. We are hopefully investing in a boiler type heater and these should then link...
