    Removing Masonry Paint from Terracotta Chimney Pots

    Not really woodworking I know, but I have just bought a couple of what were originally beige coloured terracotta chimney pots that have been painted with red masonry paint at some point in recent time. Unfortunately the other existing chimney pots on the house that I need to match are beige in...

    Oak Soap Dishes

    Happy New Year all, Just before Christmas I made a number of soap dishes out of oak which I finished with Danish oil and then spray on waterproof polyurethane yacht varnish. Unfortunately, the first soap dish that we have started using is discolouring really badly with brown liquid sometimes...

    TOS SVITAVY Lathe Chuck

    Hi, I have a TOS SVITAVI lathe chuck (Designation on the box is IUS 100/4-2-M1) which came with my current lathe that I bought secondhand on Gumtree. I was planning on upgrading my Lathe to either a Record Power DML320 or an Axminster AC355WL but quite like my current chuck - does anyone...

    Sealey SM42

    Hi all I’ve had a Sealey SM42 wood lathe stored in the garage for some time waiting for me to find a space to set it up for a first stab at some basic wood turning. I’ve now found a space and have built a bench to mount it on. However, I’ve discovered that I’m missing the grub screw which...

    Kity Bestcombi 2000

    Hi The thicknesses feeder roller on my Bestcombi 2000 has stopped turning. Looking at the mechanism inside the machine I can see that there is an adjustable lever with two notches in it for tensioning the feeder roller drive pulley belt. I’m assuming that one notch is used to set the drive...

    Dewalt DW738 / Elu EBS3401A1 Bandsaw Blade Tension

    Hi I recently bought a Dewalt DW738 bandsaw (it’s actually branded Elu but otherwise identical). Overall the saw’s in pretty good condition but I can’t get sufficient tension in the blade to stop the blade wandering. Looking at the tensioning mechanism more closely, I suspect that either the...

    Kity Bestcombi 2000 Capacitor Issue

    Hi all I think I blew the starter capacitor in my Kity Bestcombi 2000 when using it earlier today. Effectively when I go to start the machine (in any of the three motor functions although it was the planer that I was using when the problem occurred) it just buzzes loudly with the relevant...

    Kity Bestcombi 2000 Power Supply

    Hi I've just bought a used Kity Bestcombi 2000. It looks great but one question I have is that although I understand the motors are single phase, it came supplied with a 16A plug - is it possible to simply use a 13A converter cable to allow it to be used in a standard 13A household plug or is...

    Kity k5 Dust Extractor

    Hi and happy New Year! I've just been given a dust extractor for my Kity K5. Although it comes with a range of hose adaptors to slim down the 100mm hose pipe, none of them are a great fit for the 78mm dust extraction ports on my K5. Has anyone else had this problem/come up with a solution? I...

    Kity K5 Mortise Bits

    Hi, Does anyone know where you can buy these? I understand that the shaft can be no wider than 12mm which rules out the left hand bits that I have been able to find online. Thanks David
