Hi All In have the Charnwood WB619 table saw. I see they have bought a new style fence out, has anybody got to use the new style fence yet? Cheers Drew

Cheers Mike What I should have said was it's about a 30cm taller than any 838 doors I've seen. Something to work with now, thanks. Drew

I'm making a door for the first time. We have an odd size rear inner door which I really need to keep the same size. Looking at the frame it's 840mm. This may sound a stupid question but how wide should I make the door? I don't want loads of planing after but also don't want it to look very...

Cracking idea! On a side note, I have Katsu router and it is incredibly loud and gets very at the tool holder. Is this just mine or is yours the same? Drew

Cheers guys I shall look into those suggestions. Drew

Hi I'm looking for recommendations for ply suppliers in the Stoke area. Only really used ply on none aesthetically pleasing appearance jobs. I purchased a sheet of far eastern hardwood faced ply from Stoke timber to make a raised dog bed. It's attractive on the face but the inner plies are all...

Have been having a look at them Mike. Do you have one? Drew

Doh! I was getting all excited until I saw the date, I was ready to sign on the dotted line. Drew

Are these routers easy to adjust the height when they're in place on the table, I fancy making one of yhese portable setups myself. Drew

Of course, I know what was meant now, it's getting late, lol. Thanks again for all the help. Drew

I was just about to ask a similar question regarding a coffee table top I found in the attic of our house. But having seen the above pictures I think I have my answer. Lovely piece of wood, I've made a couple of floor threshold strips with it.

Pete, do you mean like a butterly? Drew

I like the sound of this idea as well, may allow the bolt to sit down a bit more? Thanks Drew

Thanks for all your replies. I was thinking that it's got to be as central as possible. I shall have to buy some bolts and have a measure. I'm thinking the plates on each end have got to be about 18mm wide? As you say 7mm is still pretty thick as it's only going to be in 3 places on each piece...

Hi all, hope someone can help. My son has a couple of solid wood work tops 27mm think he needs joining end to end. Using the joining bolts, what is the shallowist I can get away with routing? I'm thinking 20mm doesn't leave me a lot of wood above. TIA Drew

Cheers guys for all the usefull advice. On reflection I think for what I shall be making 120 will probably be as aggressive as I need. I like the idea of the Velcro backed discs. Do you buy the backing or purchase a sheet and cut to size?

Hi All Just built myself a bench sander, (almost), 300mm. Just about to get some sanding discs and don't really want to be swapping grits all the time. 120 grit is classed as fine at Machine Mart and I'm thinking that is coarse enough. The other grits are 80 and 40. Any thoughts from people...

I have the Charnwood w619 and am very happy with it. It has a 1.5hp induction motor that is really quiet and hasn't jibbed on anything I've put through it yet and I've not found myself wishing i had a 10" version either. The fence clamp could be better but you get used to it. I was looking at...

Thanks for all replies so far. Done the dining room and sitting room, just about to start on the hallway which is going to be the most awkward space. I am pondering what to do at the foot of the new stairs. Do I cut under the bottom main post a short way or bead around it? I would rather cut...

Cheers for all the replies, I may be on with more questions as I com to awkward points in the job. I think I may stick with thresholds between each room. Drew
