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

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

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

I have a Record Bandsaw BS350S and built a sledge for accurate mitreing and cross cutting. After making 2 runners for the table top track then fixing the to the sledge I find it will not slide. On inspection I find the 2 tracks that I assumed should be parallel are out by 1mm over their...

Take a look at this Utube extract. Entertaining, especially how he disguises his steel and kevlar filleting glove. Richard http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RFEY--Gp1D8

Who is the prime builder of this bandsaw? I am looking for a variation of this which is available in the USA. I am concidering the Carter guide system to replace the very sloppy upper guide which seems to suffer from considerable wear. Richard

A few chunks of a large cherry tree was cut up for fire logs which I salvaged. Then decided in a un-conventional turning. I was pleased with the end result The waste from the centre filled 2 drums on the vacuum

Band saw blade tracking I have seen various manufacturers manuals on how to set the tracking. Some say the gullet between the teeth should be at the edge of the tyre, others say the whole blade in the centre, Now I find one that say the gullet should be on the centre line of the tyre. The last...

Hi All Has any one invested or any thoughts of upgrading their Record bs350 upper bearing to the Yandles RPRG1 it is advertised on their web pages Tools & Machines. Richard

Has any one tried truing, grinding, machining or smoothing the back and side of the Record band saw table, as this is a very rough finish? Any hints welcome Richard

Just come across this picture it shows the teeth of the bandsaw blade in-between the 2 rollers not to the rear of the blade set. I have been assured it is not a optical illusion. What is the correct setting please?

On my Record BS350S, I am a little concerned over when the blade tracking on the top wheel is in the centre of the tyre, on the bottom wheel with a wide blade the teeth are just hanging over the edge , I would have thought it too should be on the centre of the tyre. This is with new blades and...

Need a more efficient extraction system for a 400 square foot workshop. Torn between the Axminster range DC1100A and the cyclone 505807. Has anyone got experience of with either these 2 machine or seen them in action? Richard

I have questioned Chesterfield on the BS350S, gone to various suppliers, with the question " What is the width of the mitre track" for this model. I have seen 4 of the band saws and each one had a different track width. My reason for asking. I am so fed up with my present 14" Jet I wish to get...

In my case I modified my Trend but the same principle can be used on variants. First I cut a piece of laminate to fit between the outgoing vertical and its mounting plate, in my case the laminate was 0.8mm thick this will be the thickness of the shaving. The router bit I use is a spiral upcut...

Hi all I'm sorry if this has been on before. Couldn't find it. 2 Years ago I purchased a device called a Muscle chuck from Woodrat UK and fitted it to my T11. Having used it in Hobby mode quite often I must say it is definitely the best thing since sliced bread, and can't sing its praises...
