Hiya I have a fox fx4000 ( not the new shape ) and have 4x sets of jaws for it but it is a pain to be unscrewing and mounting jaws everytime i want to change. I want to do the same as I do with an axminster chuck and a toolpost versachuck but poolewood or fox donot sell the carriers seperately...

Thanks everyone for all the help, musicman as soon as I read your first post about turning the piece face down i went over and turned it, befire leaving for work I had a look and the middle of the board has sunk already! , its only taken about 8h from moving to checking to be nearly flat, there...

Thanks swb i wont clamp, mind_the_goat thanks for the advice also, lucky as i didnt think of the ends but in the pic theres only board 2 and 3 that has end grain curving the same way as each other but ill alternate all boards in the future. ill rough cut some more just incase the clock does not...

Thanks Musicman, yes the clock face side was pointing up so ill try leaving it facing down for the next couple of days to see what happens, maybe even try clamping it down flat if it doesnt flatten over the next couple of days. I forgot to mention though that the panel was rectangular with the...

Wow thats a great idea to improvise if you dont have a big setup for ongoing log ripping, i bet that also cuts bandsaw drift out of the equation also as theres no way a blade will lift the log as it travrls through, did you notice any resistance from the blade trying to twist up or down due to...

Sorry flh for the big delay but yes there was a diagram inside the lid which i saw after wiring up how you mentioned ;) and yep it worked so thanks buddy.

As you can see there is severe warp, this is a clock face which i was going to finish then fix the clock movement today ready for my mums birthday, now im going to have to remake the damn thing.. The process I followed was to cut down the oak offcuts which i aquired a while back into length and...

Thanks flh, i dont remember seeing a diagram in the lid but ill have a look when i get back home tomorrow morning, the wire im going to use is 2.5mm 3core flex which is effectively a recycled 5 gang extension lead that has a smashed socket box, the box will be chopped off and thrown leaving me...

Sorry i forgot to say its a 4 pole motor aswel

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but its for wiring up an induction motor so it could be for any tool, myself im building a combined wood lathe and drum sander I opened the top to a 2hp single phase 4 pole induction motor to wire it up and didnt see the L N E i was expecting to see ;D , i'm...

Hi I have a budget if about £650 for a table saw, my views on extension tables and rip fences is that they will more than likely be shelved, i much prefer to make my own cross cut sleds joint jigs and fence so 990 of what i am looking for is a fairly quiet idle running motor with no wailing...

good tips, I'm going to be making a large oak framed mirror soon and was thinking of attaching the hook loops to a sheet of ply, then the mirror to the ply and building the frame around the ply and glass, instead of attaching the hook loops to the frame and having a lot of weight pushing down on...

I dont know but it was fairly high, I threw the blade away when I knew it wasn't any good, it was a custom blade bought from somewhere online, nothing special just tct

thanks mrfish I'll save that page into favs and give him a ring when ordering, I do need a good 1/4 blade for longer pieces, I've got a hardwood kingsize bed I'd like to make so long straight cuts are needed :) , I re inserted the original 3/8 blade that came with the bandsaw, fettled a little...

thanks mate I'll consider it, oh I have a bandsaw it's a record BS250 which I need to have a look at, I'm having a problem with it ever since I swapped the stock 3/8 blade for a 1/4 blade.. the top wheels tension is as tight and high as it can go, all 6 guide berings are now adjusted so they...

Hi a little background... I live in an end of block town house and my workshop is the kitchen, I do have neighbors so noise is an issue ( I dont get a lot of complaints but I am respectfull ) I have recently bought a cheap kitchen table and would like to turn it into a workstation incorporating...

ha ha, good point disco on the bowing, so I can say my doors so far are authentic bowed :) job and knock plus wizard thanks for the info, I have found a place in Hucknall, Nottingham that rents out workshop space plus the machines for £30 a day which to me seems a really nice price for the use...

and the doors I keep mentioning :)

thanks for all the good advice there is a lot I didn't think of the points made by RobinBHM and dzj, I didn't think of the way that logs are cut, all the wood I have been getting so far I assume anyway has been plainsawn instead of quartersawn ( yes I had to google quartersawn and the diagrams...

youtube/watch?v=bYn_uFTw3NQ something like this by using a router and a jig setup could be used as a rough planer/thicknesser with bow in air and wedges underneith so gravity does not take some of the bow out on timber that is fairly straight in the first place, but it's just gettign the wood...
