Hi, I am looking to sell my single phase Felder universal machine, which I purchased approx 2014. Its had only hobby use apart from 18 months in 2019 when it was used for some small scale furniture making. It has a host of extras including powerfeed, fence extensions, various blades and some...

Hi, I am moving my workshop from my business premises to my new house, which does not have 3 phase supply. I know you can run a 3 phase machine on single phase using an inverter, but that is about the extent of my knowledge... Anyone here who knows about this? My saw is an old PK, what rated...

Hi, I have almost completed a piece of furniture ( a sideboard / media unit) for my lounge, which will have 3 doors on it, 2 inset ( 1 LH & 1 RH ) and one central door that will be a half overlay. I imagine I will be restricted to using euro style hinges ( unless someone can tell me different)...

Hi, I got this saw recently with a job lot of old tools and whilst its nothing special, I fancied returning it to a better state. Now, the blade was a bit corroded and needs a sharpen, but its not terrible. I cleaned it up a bit, but I don't think I can get it much better than it is now...

Hi, I have a CF741 universal machine and would like to know how anyone with similar machine gets around the problem of the outlet points for the extraction being the wrong size to connect easily to standard reducers. I have to sleeve them to match with tape and bits of correx, which works, but I...

Hi, we are hugely busy here and have 5 bespoke kitchen projects in the queue, one of them the client keeps changing design and its kind of falling outside of the remit of the stuff my usual guy does. ( sprayed modern handless kitchens and built in stuff) Although I would love to do myself, I...

Hi, I have a lovely old saw I am restoring, and I need a set of 3 new split nuts made for me - I can send the old ones, as I need the overall dimensions kept the same, but the central stem made wider. Is there anyone here who could run these up for me? Obviously happy to pay whatever you think...

Hi, I am looking to upgrade my router table, and have pretty much decided on the UJK kit....( cast iron table, router lift, dust box) however, everywhere seems to be out of stock - Axminster sau 1 -2 months, and all seems to be "available to order" ( with similar lead times I imagine? ) at Peter...

Hi guys, working on my last project highlighted how my bad back and eyesight were making work on my bench quite uncomfortable. despite making my bench higher than usual, and having my glasses, I was still struggling. So I decided to rectify the situation. While perusing the benchcrafted site, I...

Hi, my next project is a media unit, built to a similar style as a sideboard we have. the sideboard is rosewood with 3 doors, that have an unusual veneered pattern of a central small circle ( 50mm) in the middle door, with radiating segments of veneer that get wider the further away from the...

Hi, in between my stuff, i have been collared into making some picture frames for SWMBO........ Frame components in solid walnut are made and ready to be mitred together, however, glue surface area is very small, as they are very narrow profile, each side being 10mm & 5mm thick respectively...

Hi guys ( and girls)...I have seen them on fancy benches, mostly made by talented guys with a lathe and nice materials to hand, but I cant seem to find anything for sale. Basically, I want some nice metal or whatever collars to sit the bench dogs in, rather than just a bare hole in the wood...
