    100mm Tool to 35mm Vac

    My Bandsaw (Axminster SBW3501B) has a 100mm dust port at the bottom on the back. I've used it with various vacs over the years and it has worked fine but a re-arranging of the workshop will necessitate a permanent change to a small vac with a 35mm hose connector. Obviously I will have to step...

    Glue for outside project

    What would you say in the best glue between Titebond 3 or epoxy for gluing these scrollsaw cutouts, they will be outside permanently (they are for a bird feeder)? I don't want to use polyurethane glue beacuse the foaming would be a nightmare to clean up. Thanks in advance & regards Brian

    Axminster EX21 Pros/Cons

    Hello all, I am seriously interested in the Axminster EX21. I currently have a 23+ years old Hegner Multicut 2S and would like to upgrade.

    New (to me) mechanised hacksaw

    I have a acquired this electric hacksaw and although it cuts fine there is an issue with the motor. When you switch it on the motor buzzes and doesn't turn but can be got turning by coaxing the wheel to move by hand. While this sort of works it is far from ideal as I don't feel safe doing it...

    A friend gave me a Lidl chainsaw some months ago (unused) and it worked fine for cutting up an ash tree that I was given, however, it has now developed a problem.
