Hi Steve I have been cold smoking the trout I catch for many years now, although cold smoking does not cook the flavours of the thinly sliced fish on toast beat any thing you can get in the shops. I usually cold smoke with Beech sawdust anything up to 10 trout fillets then vacuum pack the rest...

Some time yesterday the object below was slung over my hedge. I have asked various people as to what it may be, with no positive results. Has any one seen a object like this and of what was it used for? Richard

Try Yandles they seem to sell them. Richard

A few years ago I owned a TS30. Although the importer NMA of Yorkshire has held a variety of spares. I adapted a Axi switch to overcome my problem. You also need to look at your supply as the machine does need a dedicated 16 amp not via a 13 amp socket, as this can then look like a switch...

Thank you all yet another lesson in life learned, Until I went out with a straight edge this morning they seemed flat :shock:n Now I feel abit of a ijget asking. Richard

With the availability of various thicknesses now of OSB. Has any of our guru's tried or have tips on veneering. To my mind due to its structure does this affect having to use a backing veneer or other layering oddities :?: Or is this a case of suck it and see. Richard

I have the 129 with spiral block. Its fab on yew and all wavy grain when you study it you think its a shame to put a sander to the finish as its so clean. I don't regret the extra cost. Richard

With the cost of LED replacement units cost sub £25 the lighting difference is phenomenal, the power saving factor is more pennies for G&Ts if thats your pleasure. Whilst initial surge current is far higher but this only lasts micro seconds then in my case with 3 x 5ft units is 30Watts Go for...

Hi Congratulations you have discovered what a k r a p i design that part of the BS is. I had the same problem with the 350S. I eventually solved it by turning a piece of lignum vitae to the 2 diameters of the upper and lower bearing holder and initially have them touching the blade while...

Thanks Custard for the info, I didn't think it would so critical as in plywood. Richard

In the past when applying veneer to plywood I have always balanced the other side with a layer of an other veneer to equal the stresses out irregardless of the thickness. Do the same rules apply if using say 10mm MDF? Grateful for any advice on past experience. Richard

Ive used 2 Premiers with no problems many times. The one on the Folkstone road is the quieter, the one on the front you can hear the occasional ships horn. Richard

Yet another tip, increase depending on age. "Measure up 4 times cut once" Good luck with it, oh and PC incorrect. Merry Christmas Richard

Got rid of these sloppy blade side bearing discs and turned up some lignum vitae dowel to fit. Works a treat in resaw and veneer mode. Richard

Hi All Now theres a blast from the past. I remember seeing a contraption like this in a tool shop in Fort Worth in 1968ish. I think the shop was Millar Falls. As the drill had a Welsh sounding name I was intrigued but couldn'd find a UK address. From then on I forgot all about in until now...
