    Looking for a new Makita mitre saw

    I have a Makita LS1018L sliding mitre saw at the moment. I've had this for 5-6 years and it has been great. I'm looking to replace it with a battery (2x 18v) saw but most reviews mention the lack of a laser. Is there a 36v Makita mitre saw with a laser and 260mm blade or do I keep my current...

    Wanted Someone to set up my bandsaw SY S66

    I have a Record Power BS250 and have been using this for the last 5+ years. One of the wheel tyres needed replacing so I replaced both just in case. I cannot to get this machine running without the blade running off. The best I got was the blade running in the centre of the top wheel but it was...

    Rutland 100mm cyclone dust collector kit DK7204

    Hi all, I have been on the lookout for a 100mm cyclone (cyclone central) for ages with no luck so I have been running one of those 15 quid chinese 2" cyclones on top of a 60L barrel connected to a 1hp Clarke chip extractor for the last few years. 100mm from the extractor to the cyclone and the...

    Cordless mitre saws any good?

    I'm not really ready for a new mitre saw as I purchased my Makita LS1018L only about 3 years ago but I keep looking at their cordless mitre saws. My workshop isn't very big and I have to set up the saw when needed as I don't have enough space to build a mitre station so on a daily basis I plug...

    Makita LS1018L bearing replacement help.

    I have a Makita LS1018L mitre saw and the sliders are a little jerky now and then. I have put some machine oil on the inside of the linear bearings a few months ago but it didn't last very long so I have ordered new linear bearings, dust rings and covers. I've taken two bearings (left side)...

    Bobbin / spindle sander advice

    I have a Clarke COBS1 bobbin sander (same as the Triton, Scheppach, Vonhaus and Draper) The oscillating has stopped but the spindle is still spinning. I've taken it apart and it looks that one of the drive belts has stretched and skips teeth resulting in both plastic cogs (the ones with the...

    Cordless brad nailer advice wanted.

    I have been looking at the Makita DBN500 brad nailer for a while but I don't think I can justify the price tag at £290.00 for the bare tool at the moment. I have a couple of air powered brad nailers (18g) which I use on a daily basis but not excessive. I know Aldi did an 18v brad nailer for...

    Took the 'plunge' and bought a cordless router...

    I now am the proud owner of a Makita cordless router but what seemed quite a bit of money to fork out is nothing compared to what's to come. It's like getting an app on your phone with 'in app purchases' :roll: I have quite a few of Makita 18v tools and they always come with some or most...

    Has Midlands Tool Suplies gone under?

    I've used these in the past and tried to get some dust collection bags ordered but the phone goes to a full mailbox, the website is down and the eBay account is no longer registered. I can't seem to find any plastic bags for my Fox F50-842 for a reasonable price anywhere.

    Doweling jig advice needed

    Not very often I use dowels but sometimes I need to. I have bought the starter set Wolfcraft makes (http://www.wolfcraft.com/en/products/p/ ... index.html ) which is OK but awkward when a dowel near the edge of a board is needed. Then I recently bought one of these...

    Bandsaw TPI help needed

    I have just upgraded to a Record BS250 from a Clarke CBS190. It feels a lot more robust and height of cut and throat depth are a little bigger which is a bonus. The blade that comes with it is a 1/4 inch blade with 6 TPI. It cuts quite rough. Looking to buy a better blade but they seem to come...

    Drill press table / stand / cabinet. What have you made?

    I'm thinking of making a cabinet for my pillar drill. Something with some drawers to keep my drill bits in etc. Also wanting to incorporate some sort of dust extraction and some adjustable supports for larger workpieces rather than trying to balance them on the small table it comes with. What...

    Which bearing guided dovetail router bit?

    Hi all, I have been making toy boxes for the last 6-7 years and use a dovetail jig to join the panels together. I used to buy these in bulk as my first jig was a 300mm SIP with an aluminium comb. Later used on my new Axminster 600mm jig with 'plastic' comb...
