Afternoon all, 19 months ago, I purchased a Erbauer ERB380ROU from Screwfix (1/2” and ¼”). It packed in this weekend despite being under very little load while cutting white wood. I cannot find my receipt to claim on the 2 year warranty and Screwfix conveniently delete your records after 18...

Hi folks, Just set up ducting for my new dust extraction system. Its an Axminster FM300BC with filter cartridge. I have used metal blast gates (axminster) and 110mm drainage pipe ducting. I have the twin port on the extractor. One goes direct to my table saw, the other onto the ducting...

Evening all, Finally giving in and buying a proper dust extractor for my wee workshop. Main culprit for dust is the table saw (which requires 1,000m^3 per hour dust extraction). I also use my router table, bandsaw, planer/thicknesser etc. I'm going to put in some ducting, so a bit of extra...

Hi folks, Just a quick question… where do you guys buy nice wood from? All timber yards near me do graded timber and perhaps some oak skirtings if your lucky….I am looking for a load of variety! I have been looking online, but not having too much luck!

Hi folks, I am away to install 110mm drainage ducting system around my workshop (i expect the longest leg to be around 10m). I currently have this dust extractor: http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p28641?table=no I was looking to add on a cyclone unit like this...

Hi folks, My AX10 came with a 16amp plug. The reviews stated that with a plug converter, everything would be fine.... When i press the 'on' button, sometimes it doesnt start and i need to hold the button on until the motor gets up to speed, then all is fine. The duration of time i need to...

Hi folks, I have a new AW10 table saw with sliding side table. Today i have been trying to conduct the 5 cut method to square up the rail on the sliding table, but having a nightmare! After conducting the calculations, i had to move the rail back around 0.3mm. This was done using feeler...

Hi folks, Quick question; i have been looking at buying advise for my mitre saw blade. With a mitre saw, do we 'always' do cross grain cuts? Hence i should get a negative rake, high tooth blade (60+)? I am trying to think of a time that i have 'ripped' with my mitre saw….?

Hi folks, Got two questions on router tables 1) I am looking at my options for buying, or making a table. I can get a table for a decent price, but it seems they all have plastic base plates which are of little use, so will likely need to upgrade to a metal one? And if i make a table, i need...

Perhaps a stupid question, but can i use a 250mm blade in my new aw10, which is designed for a 254 blade? I gather i won't get as deep a cut, but there are so many more 250mm blades on the market, and my mitre is also a 250mm so will save buying individual blades. Thanks

Hi folks, I am away to cut something similar to this on my table saw for a door threshold. However, i am struggling to find a safe way to do this - supporting the timber, making an accurate cut, leaving a thin slice. Any advice? Jigs required etc?

Hi folks, My £150 table saw has had its days, so looking to replace with something that will last. I recently spent a fair bit on a nice mitre chop saw, so know the benefits of 'investing', but i don't want to duplicate the capability of my mitre saw if i can. My main uses to date have been...

Hi folks, I have moved into an old cottage and i am trying to bring back some of its cottage looks. I really like natural wood - the fire surround is natural, i have bowls etc round the house too. I have been looking at natural wood coffee tables for a while....and as if my magic, my friend...
