I was warned off Abranet on sanders because it did not stick to the sanders very well and had a habit of either coming off or moving = damaged hooks on sander. I have not tried them on a sander but they work well for hand sanding and on the lathe.

Funky looking cyclone CNC Paul! Did you post a "project" post for how you made it?

Not so much the dust but the load on the shaft/bearings. When you are cutting with the router it is normally done in small amounts and the cutter should cut the wood as it is fed through, which will naturally load the shaft/bearings. Sanding could be a higher load (in my head anyway), which is...

Good idea but I worry a bit about the bearings/bushes on the router. I guess if you take it easy then there should be nothing to worry about :?

You can borrow my dehumidifier if you fancy a drive to Worcester! It may be worth making a little box/cover for your pipe, in case you drop something a bit bigger on it next time :D

It arrived today,while I was out! I collected it from the depot in Malvern. I decided I would put it together this evening but there were no instructions in the box!! I read the review that said the instructions were not much more than a parts list and few pictures, well I don't even have that...

I ordered one on Sunday, got an email on Tuesday to say it had been dispatched but no other details. I sent Rutlands an email to ask who/when and where because I need to make sure I am around for the delivery. To their credit I got a response pretty quickly, to say expect it any time between now...

Congrats and all the best!

I thought I would post an update about the saw... SIP sent out the worm wheel and riving knife that I had to order via my local(ish) tool shop. I fitted the new worm wheel and the saw blade is now rising and lowering without any sideways movement/swaying. The new worm wheel is the same as the...

As soon as my RT arrives I will post the details of the struts :D

I bought a couple the other day in Worcester. For the money you could use them as paint stirrers! Great levels and are worth a lot more than they are asking for them!

Same advice - Wickes or B&Q

It looks good, nice form and loads of character in the wood!
