    Startrite Bandsaw Dust Extraction

    I've just bought an old Bandit 12-S-1, and whilst I know that dust extraction is not a design feature, I am a little dismayed at the amount of dust that is carried all around the blade path, and drops out by the blade guard post back onto the table. Does anyone have any tips or fixes to keep the...

    Lining a workshop/craft room

    my daughter has roped me into lining a garage space for home office / craft room. She wants ply walls. Given the costs, I'm thinking of 12mm OSB and then 6mm ply either glued or pinned on to the OSB. Can anybody think of a good reason not to do this (assuming price makes it worthwhile) ...

    Garage Workshop Roof Insulation

    I have access to some supended ceiling tiles, approx 25mm thick. Are they any good to insulate the corrugated fibre cement roof of my garage? Both sound and thermal insulation will be a bonus.

    How do I remove this bearing

    Hi, I'm trying to renovate an old table saw, and I cannot get the bearing off the arbor. The bearing itself is rough, so as soon as the replacement ones arrive I am happy to break this one. I've tried loads of release agent and WD40, and have cleaned it up, but I can't get it to budge. I have...

    10" Table Saw Motor

    In a moment of Fleabay madness, I have purchased an old Tyzack 10" table saw with no motor, which I'm picking up on Monday. I'm not sure what the condition is yet, so how much to spend on a motor, but if its tidy enough, I'll probably get a decent quiet motor. Appreciate some advice on the...

Does anybody know someone who can overhaul this , or where I can find more information on Wolf drills? I think they pre-date computer manuals ! Probably dates from the 70's -...

    Advice on Decibels and Dust Extraction please

    I have a basic Charnwood chip extracter linked up to a Thein seperator in the corner of the workshop connected to some 38mm hose and it makes a horrible din, so today I enclosed it in some 50mm polystyrene sheet and some scrap MDF. Using an Android app, I measured the decibel level before and...
