First furlough lockdown project for me. I play with some friends and thought I'd make us some custom trays use with a custom logo (just a bit of fun). They were so enamoured they suggested I tried Etsy so thought why not. They are nothing special construction wise but were fun to make and gave...

Been doing more reading (dangerous I know) and I think I was wrong re raft foundations. It might end up as trench foundations and quite deep ones with the tree's however any advice is appreciated if there is a more economical way that people know of. Using the NHBC 4.2 Standards to try and get...

Been doing some more digging/design trying to figure out what I can fit. Looking at our land registry plan it appears our garden is longer than I thought. It seems the trees behind our back fence our actually within our boundary which means I could build the structure right up to the rear fence...

Wow, thanks for the typo cath and yup that’s exactly it. Literally been over and over that trying to find the error. Must have gone word blind.

Wow, thanks for all the advice and in such a short amount of time :D . Lons: Yeah damp would be my primary concern and the main reason I probably won't do this, just exploring every avenue. Thanks for the tip with the pavers, will keep that in mind. Sawdust=manglitter: Thanks and I will take...

So been inspired to start planning a workshop build whoever as with many of us would like to do it within permitted development. I Can't get the build 2m from all boundaries (standard suburban garden) which leaves me with the 2.5 max height limit. Does anyone know if your allowed to dig and...

Thanks for all the advice. MikeJhn: I'll ask that question when I'm looking at them and see what I find but thanks for the heads up. heronviewer: Did look at that one and put an offer in but never heard back. Found another 3636 on gumtree that looks promising. A bit cheaper with the cable and...

It is annoying how Kity kept the same numbering for machines that changed so much. The old 636 looks like this: I actually think its quite a pretty machine (although I appreciate that's not overly important) and has the dual feed speed (again, not sure how useful that is) and then there the...

Hi there, Thanks for the advice so far, had a look at the website and all there new models don't really resemble the older stuff but fun to look. Simou1 , can I just ask regarding the 636 do you mean the 3636 or the older on as I thought the older one had duel feed speed via a belt adjustment...

Hi there. Been looking for a planer thicknesser and partly because I have a few other Kity bits and with the price of them being pretty competitive I'd be quite happy with another one. I've been looking at the 635 636 and 3636. To the best of my knowledge the 635 / 636 are identical save for...

Hi there, Sent a PM yesterday. Hope you received it. If still available I'm interested. Thanks, DTB.

Just as a little update. I got the knife and crown guard from Axminster. Its not an exact fit but the bolt slot lines up and a little bit of grinding will make it fit perfectly. That said I think I'm missing a spacer as the knife isn't in line with the blade. I've measured and need at 5mm...

Just to confirm I was after a hand wheel for the Kity 419 but guessing you know they have the same handle. The part number I gave was KPD50458501 and for the Scheppach Precisa 2.0 (as there apparently the same part): 330 0655 054. Price was £35.28 and £4.75 P&P. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the advice and the read. Interesting to hear the differences between the machines. If I was buying new I would have probably gone with the Axminster TS200-2 but budget at the moment won't allow. I totally agree with you on the plastic wheel. I did wonder if it was made that way so...

A sled is defiantly on the cards and will probably do for 90% of the work I want to do. Again many thanks for the Axminster idea. I've contacted them and for the crown guard, riving knife and spacer kit it was around £24 including delivery. Obviously I won't know how much fettling it will take...

Thanks for the shout on the ts200 riving knife. I will ring Axminster tomorrow. I've heard the mitre fence isn't up to much cop which is why I'm not keen on spending a load and may look for a different solution. As you mentioned I may try and cannibalise a different fence and try and make a new...

Hello to a fellow 419 owner. New to having one myself and also looked for a manual. After searching the depths of the internet I came across this website which has it but it's in a bit of an odd format: http://calameo-download.tiny-tools.com/pages.php?doc_id=001835483893342543447 I've...

Hi all, So got myself a Kity 419 :D . It's defiantly lost its showroom shine but is easily good enough for my needs and for the most part is in good condition with a few exceptions. As you may have noticed its missing its riving knife and crown guard. The adjustment wheel has also had its...

Thanks for the reply and taking the time to take pics for me, very kind of you. Also nice mod, always love seeing how people manage to make stuff keep going and it being a nice big Wadkin who wouldn't. That looks like something I can work with, I'll start formulating a plan and see where it...

The bed will flex by hand at least a bit so in theory thats possible. I did have a think about that but its need to be sturdy. Thinking something like a bit of square section metal but not sure how I'd fix it yet. It'd need to be fixed in 4 places (2 either side of the slot).
