Well that doesn't seem too much of a challenge. I pm'd you yesterday (thought I had sent this reply at the same time, but neglected to hit send), let me know if you got it ok.

Exactly where are you b0z0r? I'm in Welling (DA16) if that's close enough, and could do this for you if you really think it's worth it - there would have to be a reasonable charge obviously. Be aware there will be significant wastage to achieve flat and true boards - are you after just cleaning...

Looks like there should be a circlip in that groove.

Methinks you're not getting far with a kerf that is smaller than your riving knife. You'll end up trying to push a 2.4mm RK through a 2.2mm gap - a recipe for disaster with a powerewd saw of any kind surely?

Short answer is I don't - it's the wrong tool for that job. Down to about 150mm is Ok with care, after that I'll use the chopsaw or cut the small peice from a larger one, or cut by hand/bandsaw and square on a shooting board. One thing I'm sure you know (but always worth repeating) is that you...

The bearings are 6000-2z like these there would be no harm (and probably a good idea) to use rubber sheilded ones instead i.e 6000-2rs. The sliding table rail is adjusted in 3 axes using a combination of shims (supplied with the saw originally) between the mounting brackets and cabinet legs...

I've got the wall mounted version of that extractor which has a 100mm inlet. I have about 5-6m of ducting between it and my 12" P/T and it copes admirably. Your bugbear used for P/T will be capacity - I have a dustbin dropbox with a lashed up cyclone lid next to the P/T which catches almost...

Got one of these as well, and periodically have the same issue. You need to clean the lead-screw that operates the rise and fall, a job which unfortunately can only be done from below. Give the machine as good a vacuum out as you can before getting down there with a small brush and the vac to...

Droogs has nailed it - that's the one I was after. Thanks to all for the help - just got to get to grips with it now.

Thanks Brentingby - still no 32bit free version there that I can see though, only the pro one which I already have.

Thanks Eric, didn't realise that the pro version reverted rather than just ceases like most other trials. Have since discovered that the "proper" free version is now web based, but it refuses to run due to an unspecified browser gl support error (despite having the latest version of chrome and...

I tried Sketchup years ago when it first came out but just couldn't get on with it, but I have the time on my hands now to give it another bash and really see if I can get to grips with it. However the only free version available for windows, now that Google has sold it off to Trimble, is 64bit...

Looks like Yellow Balau to me, density sounds about right too.

Not if you want to use something like the Clark one you linked to - they work by moving large volumes of air with relatively low pressure drop compared to vacuums. For that reason adding a Hepa filter to such a machine is probably a non starter - that type of extractor doesn't fare at all well...

Custard, that made me laugh - recognised every word of that!
