A few weeks back I took the plunge and got myself a DW745 compact table saw. Having read a number of reviews and stalked some super useful threads here (thanks guys) I felt this was the perfect compromise and there seems to be a fair few folk making good use of them. I have diligently nudged...

Well hello there... Managed to save up enough beer tokens to trade in for a new piece of kit and I've been looking at getting a bench sander. Trouble is I'm not sure if the disc's on the combi models are going to be large enough (most are only 150, so that's 75mm of safe working area!) Record...

I'm thinking ahead to the finishing of my multi hardwood stripy shelves and have become befuddled over the range of possibilities. Previously I've used Danish oil (8-12 coats) for cherry window boards that I made, but have since been told about sanding sealer (some shellac, some spirit, some...

I'm in the process of making some shelves out of scraps and offcuts of various hardwoods by gluing together lots of 6-25mm strips and am wondering whats the best method for gluing up? I'm thinking I'd use a PU glue like gorilla glue for strength, but there are around 18-20 strips in total and...

Hi Guys and Gals! I've been trying to resaw some old mahogany (? I think) bench pews on my kity 613 and I'm having a nightmare trying to get it to cut straight. I've played around with the tension, tracking, guide alignment and nothing seems to help. I'm using a new 3/4" - SuperTuff Fastcut...

I guess this is a question for any DW733 owners... #-o I have the Type 2 machine with the blades that can be re-sharpened and wondered if anyone has any experience of using generic cutters. I can get new knives for a fraction of the cost of the official spares (£60+P&P) but they don't have...

Hi there, just wondered if anyone had any recommendations for a somewhere to get my DW733 knives sharpened local to Bristol? Cheers :wink:

Hi guys, I'm planning to install high level cupboards across the length of our bathroom and continue them over the shower. The ceiling is 2800 high so there's no problem with head height, and since these are intended for linen/ longer term storage they don't need to be low enough to be easily...

Okay, I've been through a number of different threads on extractors (chip/dust) and my head is a little spinning (like a cyclone you might say!! :lol: ) I was totally gobsmacked by the amount of waste that the DW733 can chuck out and my current vac (Nilfisk Alto Aero 25-21) just can't suck...

Hi there again, Now that I have the bearings cleaned and new thrust bearing on its way I thought I would open up the motor housing and take off all the black electrical tape that was covering the switch block. I'm glad I did because it was really quite dusty in there...maybe even a hazard...

Having gone ahead with the eBay Kity 613 purchase I'm pretty happy with the quality of the unit, table and wheels in particular. I'm looking forward to my tuffsaw blades arriving and hope to get these bearings sorted before hand. Does anyone have any experience of replacing guide bearings on...

Hi Guys, I was hoping to ask if anyone has any recommendations for a Fence and Mitre Fence for a Kity 613? I'm about to pick up a second hand unit but neither of these accessories are included. This is will be my first bandsaw and I managed to find the kity after reading about a few of them on...
