What are the vee grooves for, I am guessing something do with registering location and keeping them in line, but how?

From an engineering point of view, with angular contact ball or roller bearings (I assume they are one or the other) to remove radial (side to side) play there must be axial preload. Is there a means to adjust this, some nuts or threaded collars that can be rotated and locked, or sometimes...

I had exactly the same idea about a month ago for my Xcalibur which has a Biesemeyer type fence as standard and contacted Charnwood and Record Power. Charnwood Q: I am wanting to obtain the rip fence extrusion for the W650 table saw, which from the manual is: No: 57 Code: TS2000604 Description...

Thanks all, for replies: dzj: could be an answer. Mike.S: Problem is transport, probably have to hire a van to move anything that would not dismantle flat. Mar_mite: Try to avoid MDF if I can, dust is already a problem, and that's nasty dust. rafezetter: Useful advice on OSB, not tried...

I need to make some big workshop cupboards (ballpark 6ft wide 8ft high 2ft deep) to store my power tools and everything else in the workshop to keep it clean (dust control is work in progress at the moment). In an ideal world (not where my wallet lives) I would use 18mm birch ply, but thats not...

Just collected the drill, its a serious bit of British iron. The motor is shot, the starter windings are burnt out, so it will be a 3 phase motor and the VFD I got for making my wood lathe variable speed, which is still waiting for a steel bracket fabricating to fit the motor. A few bits...

You'll be pleased to know I have bowed to your experience and advice (sorry Wizard) and bought a very reasonably priced single phase Medding LF2 floor pillar drill in Wakefield, from photos. It has a dodgy motor, and a fair bit of rust. Worst case a new motor but it would not surprise me if...

Thanks for the advice, the old is not ruled out, I wanted opinion on the new as I can get that quicker and easier (delivered). Second hand almost always requires colection, which requires time and a vehicle, both of which I have limited access to. No decision has been made on old/new, I am on...

Now looking for a floor pillar drill. I know most will say Fobco, Meddings, Startrite second hand, but I want a single phase drill now not after watching ebay for 12 months in the hope one comes up at an affordable price not too far away, remember a 100 miles away costs £35 to £40 for a car...

What is anybody's view on a Multico 6" surface planer/jointer, and if in good condition what would anybody pay for one. I have been offered one but cant find much about them except they use the parallelogram action on the tables rather than the inclined planes (wedge), is this better or worse...

Went for factory tour 2 weeks ago (reasonabley priced at a total of £5 for 2 adults and a child) and saw this in the shop. Cant post link but goto www<dot>emmabridgewater<dot>co<dot>uk/invt/1wdn011589 'OW MUCH!! said the Yorkshire man.
