We discussed this on my wolfcraft pocket hole jig review as this came with countersink screws, one suggestion was to put a washer around the countersunk screw. Not tried it can't vouch for strength compared to correct pocket hole screw but in an emergency may be an idea. Would be nice if...

Yes, the flat bottomed screws provided seem to make the kit better, as mentioned by Eric the Viking the countersunk ones in the UK kit are not ideal. Suck's for you that the Robertson screws are hard to source for you and it takes away some of the value of the kit if you need to buy a new...

I'd never even thought of that having no previous experience of a jig of this type.

The Kreg wasn't available (or at this price) when I bought the Wolfcraft not long ago. I'm pretty sure I looked at all the options. One thing I also like about the Wolfcraft as well is it has a flat clamping surface so does not need a round faced clamp. I can understand this would make the jig...

Found this on Amazon, it's around the same price for a kit with a double hole maker as the single basic Kreg offering that makes pocket holes and looked 100% better than the little Chinese aluminium things you see. The price for the set is Thirty quid. It seems quite solid and made from decent...

I know a lot of people are like me in the market for a sub £500 Table / bench / Contractors / cabinet saw. The best they can get for the money. I've been reading reviews till my eyes hurt. Finally I made myself a little chart up of the ones I've been considering having limited space (long...

Well just as an update. I got the spindle back today, looks great turned down to 3/4 inch 16 tpi. I got another face plate and it fits perfectly. I'm now all ready to go, just need to re-attach and line -up. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to me getting this right and making my lathe much...

Thought this may be of interest to you from "Turned treasures" they have a how to on turning Crochet hooks. No idea if I'm teaching you to suck egg's or anything but I was going to make a French knitting Nanny for a friend with a crochet hook to match and I found the article interesting and...

Cheers CHJ. They were going to re-thread the shaft next week for me ! Good job they didn't have time to do it straight away. I've just sent a text to update my friend on this. I've confirmed what you've said on http://www.recordpower-thetoolshop.com/ ... NF_RH.html Where it states UNF RH...
