I have some old drawing ‘paper’ that I use for transferring templates into cad It is made from a plastic instead of paper and it’s really good stuff! I have been using the same piece for a while as pencil rubs out easily. As such I would love to find something similar as I have a limited supply...

Hi All, What would you call the corner fittings used in the MDF box in this ebay listing? Thanks

Elektra Beckum Dust Extractor Good Dust extractor with a fine filter. I’ve had this for years and it’s always been great. Got some new machinery coming in so had to upgrade extraction I noticed a year or two back there is a bit of a crack in the plastic. I’ve been monitoring it and it has...

I’m moving workshop in the new year and plan on getting some new machinery. It would look like it has 3 phase up to the meter. (3 x 415v 60A fuses) my question is how viable is it to fit 3 phase sockets? What would be involved for an electrician? The photos I got today are rubbish but should...

I have a piece of HiMacs worktop leftover from a project, approx 1600 x 700mm, colour black. 12mm thick, but can be laminated to ply/mdf to increase strength. I am moving workshops so it’s the perfect opportunity to use it for something. Ideas so far are a new router table… What would you do...

Screwfix dovetail jig I’ve had this hanging around gathering dust for years and it’s time to rehome it. I’m not sure it has ever been used but does have a few marks from being moved around my workshop. Could do with a good wipe down and a squirt of oil on the threads (all bolts turn without...

Hi, I’m in the the early stages of researching buying an 8x4 CNC router and not sure what machines to look at? Unfortunately a lot of manufacturers don’t advertise their prices, which instantly puts me off. The machine won’t get a huge amount of use in my workshop but I hope it will give me...

Hi, I am looking to make some shaker doors for a motorhome. Whilst weight is a consideration, finish and stability come at the top of the list. The doors will have a painted finish. What would be your recommendation for a good choice of wood for the stiles & rails. The panel will likely be...

I’m in the marked for a (used) bandsaw, budget of £300 to £400 or there abouts I would like to be able to cut up to a thickness of 150mm I’ve been browsing eBay but not sure how to begin narrowing down my decision. All suggestions appreciated :)

Hi All, I have recently finished an oak worktop with Osmo Polyx oil After only a few days I have marked the worktop with cups / mugs leaving behind some clear rings I have tried to lightly sand the area and re-apply oil but with no joy, the rings just show up again. Unfortunately the area...

My Festool Domino stopped working today, any suggestions on what to do would be much appreciated. As usual it has broken mid way through a project with a short lead time! Symptoms: when switched on it was running at a significantly reduced speed. switched off switched on again and not running...

Hi All, I am planning an outdoor table with some lettering CNC engraved. To make the writing stand out I am thinking about resin filling the letters. Some advise please on how successful it will be. This will be my first shot at using resin so a little cautious! The table will be stored...

I have had some furniture cnc routered in 15mm birch ply, cut using a 3.175 router cutter. I was originally going to cut some doors & drawer fronts on my table saw but wondering if the blanks that came from the cutouts would be useful. The blanks are too small as they are but I am wondering...

I am waiting on a load of 9 to 18mm ply to arrive from the cnc router shop. I have a few internal corners that will have a small rad, what is the best way or removing these? I am thinking a new pull saw, but there are just so many to chose from online. thanks

I am finally fitting extractor ducting in my shop and wonder if I am correct in using the HVLP to remove the dust? I have enclosed around the saw and is currently connected to the HVLP which seems to work ok. would this be better connected to a LVPH such as a Henry? I have seen both setups online.

I am looking to find a half decent router bit for cutting finger pulls on kitchen doors. I am trying to work out if I need the Large pulls or small pulls, what would the convention be? (I am thinking large) It would seem that generally the large pulls are only available in 1/2", a problem as I...

I am looking to buy some iron on edge banding for finishing the edge of some 18mm ply before painting. Looking on ebay, real wood edge banding seems a lot cheaper than I was expecting; ≈ £10 for 20m inc postage. Is cheap ebay edge banding any good or should I be looking to source from a more...

I have been tempted by the cheap cyclones on eBay for <£15 to use inline with my trusty Henry. the question is are they any good? also what would you recommend for a good value bin to mount the cyclone on? thanks

Looking for a suitable heat gun for stripping paint from a guitar body. I think I need something around 2000W but that doesn’t particularly narrow down the price. For £21.99 I can get a 2000w Titan from screwfix but the reviews seem to be largely 5* or 1* I’d rather buy something they will...
