Evening, I'm in the process of selling my dewalt mitre saw, she's a big old girl with a 305mm blade. Whilst it's been great for site work, its now a little too big for my needs and I'm looking for a more accurate saw which is smaller and lighter. I'm sorely tempted by the festool ks120, but it's...

Evening, I'm in the middle of planning my kitchen and looking for a little advice on the worktops. I've seen some kitchens that utilise thin laminates - say 12 -18mm, but I'm struggling to find a supplier. As another option I thought of was using Birch ply with a layer of formica on the...

Could anybody recommend a supplier of ready made kitchen carcasses? I'm looking to fit out my new kitchen and would like to make the door and drawer fronts. I'd like to use grey carcasses as I'm not too keen on the white or wood patterned stuff. Thanks in advance, Euan

Does anyone know what size the thread is for the knife adjustment screws on the cutter block? It's the small grub screws situated under the knife. The machine itself is an MB with the 2 knife block. Thanks.

Afternoon, I was recently given a Startrite 18 S 1 bandsaw. I've not had too much time to make good use of it, but the time I have had has made me question whether its the right machine for me. I'd really like a machine which is obviously accurate and powerful as I'd like to rip down some large...

Afternoon, I've recently bought a Sedgwick MR planer. It's one of the older ones in the two tone green and 1500mm beds. I seem to be having problems squaring timber. I've set my straightedge along the beds and made some small adjustments to get the in feed and out feed in the same plane. I've...

I'm in the middle of doing a house extension at home. I've been putting off doing the Larch cladding for too long and really need to get on with it. I've gone through an awful lot of nails, around 14,000 (good old Paslode) in all so far! I now need to get some more 75mm stainless steel ring...

Evening all, I've decided I'd like to attempt to make the cabinets for a utility at home. Today I started cutting up the MR MDF to make some basic carcasses, which I would then hope to make some face frames for with a simple shaker style door. Where I've been struggling is in the accuracy I...

I'm considering making a new workbench and would like to use my local sawmill for the timber. I'm probably not going to stray too far from the fashionable Roubo as I like the idea of a very heavy and laminated top. My biggest dilemma is what species of wood to use. I've been offered some clean...

New forum user here looking for some advice from some learned heads. Apologies as this has probably been asked a million times already, however I'm in the market to buy a planer thicknesser. I've been looking in all the usual places and seem to be struggling to make up my mind on what to buy...
