Thanks Porker so if I owned a 10hp inverter I could run a 1/2hp motor on it, yeah? Bill

K Yes I see what you mean about "shaft size, mounting issues, physical size of motor etc" It's for a bandsaw so speed control isn't so important but what you mention above could be a real hard thing to match up, so I think I'll look for a cheap inverter. Am I right in thinking that if I have...

Yes it's a three phase motor, So either way I need an inverter to run it off a 240v single phase supply grrr! It may actually work out cheaper to change the motor to a single phase one. Thanks Chas Bill

I dunno if this is the right place for this question but it was a toss up? So here goes.... Can anyone tell me, if I'm using a dual voltage motor can I just change it from delta to star or "vice versa" (I can't remember which way it is) and run it off a 240 volt supply or do I have to use an...

I dunno Roger! You should give Roy a ring at Woodford toooling and he'll be able to tell you prices there are two websites now and the new one has a short video .... new website is http://***********************/ and the old website is http://www.woodfordwm.co.uk/ tel: 01614395683 I...

Well you seem to have sent one to me... Listen guys anyone new who wants a copy of the brochure make sure you give me your email address when you pm me or you won't get the brochure sorry but i'm not telepathic! I don't mind sending you the brochure but a little help eh! lol Bill

I heard a whisper that they will be more expensive but I have to say they do look class just hope the price ain't to "class" or we'll all be going for something second hand, old, cast iron and green lol

Just the delivery lorry at my door lol Bill

I just spoke with a chap named Roy "for anyone who doesn't know him" he's the guy who runs woodford tooling who sell the xcalibur range of table saws. I was inquiring about buying one of the 10" saws when he told me that the new much improved and updated range should be out by the end of the...

Many thanks that makes sense!

Thanks for the info guys! In the future I may decide to spray some furniture with polyurethane or the like and I've been told I would need a 3hp comp, Is this right if i'm using a spray gun I need more power? Just a thought as to the noise aspect of it... Would I be able to build up the...

I'm looking for some advice as to what size of compressor I should buy for my shop, I want to be able to use a framing nailer as well as a brad nailer. A framing nailer that will fire 90mm clipped head nails, the same sort of nails as a paslode first fix nailer uses, the paper collated type...

Hi rdesign, you would be better putting this topic in a new thread for your own benifit mate you will get a better responce.

Just as a matter of interest does anyone own, or have tried the new Delta 10" unisaw? I watched a few vids on it and i must say it looks awesome! I don't think it's available over here in the U.K. and as much as hate giving the yanks any credit at all, (sorry if you're an american i'm only...

Ok guys, I've read the replies and thankyou! but please tell me what's wrong with a stacked dado head cutter?? All power tools are dangerous!! and that's a fact so if you're careful like I always am what's the problem? I'm new on here but I can't help feeling like I'm missing something so...

Colin Yes, you're right as in the tools you'll need, a few different gouges and chiesels, If it's just spindle turning you're going to be doing then a small Record or Jet lathe will be fine as long as the bed is long enough for your projects ie table legs and the like. But if you intend to...

Thanks Steve, I had a look at that saw and I must say it does look like exactly what I'm looking for. I really like the fact that the optional extension tables are cast iron and not pressed steel, as is the mitre fence, and the other big plus for me is the option to have the extended arbor so...

Can anyone recommend a table saw in the sub £1000 bracket? Or am I better to save a few more pennys and get something more expensive? I love my woodwork and my tools but unfortunately like most of you out there, "the skys not the limit" but I always try to buy the best I can afford and...

As you say HC the second hand market is the way to go! So many of these companys are just pricing themselves out now and people are not willing to pay the prices. I personally would not give axi the money anymore i will buy secondhand or do without! I'm sure axi and the like scout these forums...

I have a Kity 613 Bandsaw and I have the chance to buy a Record BS350 bandsaw for £180 with a cabinet stand, a rip fence and a mitre fence. So I was wondering if anyone has experience of both saws and can give me any advice as to wether I should sell the Kity and buy the Record. I would like...
