Hi, I have a couple of logos which i need to get cnc templates made for. I have the files in .eps and .ai, so it would involve creating a vector file and then cutting out of 6mm acrylic or ply. The logos are really quite small, will need to work out the exact dimensions but some 60 x 25 mm ish...

This is the Triple motor 3kw Camvac, which is on a wheeled base. It has been used in a hobby workshop, so has only seen sporadic use (I have a ducted system for the static machines, so this has only been used with mitre saw and for hand power tools). It has a 100m duct but has a reducer fitted...

I have a Workbee CNC, which has been assembled for around a year, which i am looking to sell. It is a 1.5m by 1.5m belt driven machine, with a 1/4 inch makita router as a spindle. I bought it to make jigs for guitar making, but it has only been used half a dozen times as it is taking me far too...

I am looking to upgrade my current Charnwood W650 machine to something a little better. I have found the depth of cut to be fine on the Charnwood, but the stickiness of the fence with the fine adjust on, the non-standard mitre slot and the accuracy of the carriage mean that i want something a...

Hi, I have some slabs of Cedar of Lebanon that i need to rip cut before planning and thicknessing. The only problem is the slabs are around 4 and 1/2 inches thick and my table saw has a max cut of 90mm. I have a bandsaw that would do the job, but the slabs are 500mm wide and 2.8m long, so would...

Hi, I have a small workshop, with the main dust generating machines being a lathe, router table and bandsaw. These are currently extracted via a ducted system hooked up to an axminster 801 extractor, that shifts 1000 m3 per hour. However, this is really strugling to pull much air through, so...

Hi, I am looking at getting a new lathe that is capable of turning good sized bowls etc over the bed, and has a swivelling head for the really big stuff. I need to be able to turn in front of the lathe, as my workshop is relatively small. I am looking at either the Killinger KM1500 or the...

Hi, I am looking for a new lathe, going to be doing a variety of work on it, from spindles for furniture through to bowls and vases. I want electronic variable speed and the ability to turn the headstock. I have been looking at the Axminster AWVSWL1200, which seems like quite good value, does...
