    Mafell/Triton 'Duo Dowell' versus Festool Domino

    I briefly had the Triton. In theory it should be a great tool but in reality it didnt work for me for 2 reasons. 1, you have to line up the tool precisely with the mark on the wood. There is no lateral adjustment. 2, it's not built accurately enough. On mine, the fence was angled relative to...

    Chip extractor DIY (non) filter bag

    Good points everyone, thank you. I will replace the bag with another purpose made one. I wouldn't feel comfortable taking it to a launderette in the state it is. @Yojevol that is very kind. I am fully prepared to buy a new one, but if the diameter of yours was 500-600mm then I would like to...

    Chip extractor DIY (non) filter bag

    My chip extractor is housed in a lean-to round the back of my workshop, with the hose going through the wall. As such, I am not particularly concerned with filtering the air coming out as it blows away over the adjacent fields. The larger chips are collected in the usual plastic sack beneath the...

    Elektra Beckum BAS450 bandsaw dust extraction - blocked port

    The plate says 198... and then a gap for the final year which is not filled in. Therefore anywhere between 1980 and 1989 I guess.

    Elektra Beckum BAS450 bandsaw dust extraction - blocked port

    Thanks Nick, that's interesting. I will cut the plate out. It seems a little silly to have it in the first place, given (on my machine at least) there is no cutoff switch on the main cabinet doors, which you can therefore open with the bandsaw still running. If I did wish to insert my hand into...

    Elektra Beckum BAS450 bandsaw dust extraction - blocked port

    I recently acquired the above bandsaw, and there is a plate covering most of the 100mm dust port at the base of the machine. It is welded/folded in place, and appears to be original. See attached photos. Does anyone know why it is there? I plan to cut it out as the dust collection isn't very...

    Pantorouter build

    Is there much flex in the pantograph mechanism? I.e. as you move the handle left and right without the sliding mechanism moving, does the router cutter move much?

    Mini CNC machine

    I used to have one (now upgraded). I was pleased with it, and was very happy with the results. Just cut slow and shallow.

    Veneering plywood

    I have done a trail of laminating plywood, and it didn't go well. The thin strips curled and lifted at the edges, despite careful clamping. This was before it even saw a bathroom. I think I will revert to using solid wood in T&G or overlapping rebate to accommodate movement. Thanks everyone for...

    Pantorouter build

    How are you getting on? I'm in the process of building one and struggling a little with accuracy and stiffness of the pantograph, but I think I am getting there.

    Bench Belt Sander decision?

    Have you considered building one? They are little more than a frame, motor, pulleys and a drum at each end.

    Veneering plywood

    Thanks all. I will veneer both sides. Any advice on veneer thickness?

    Veneering plywood

    Given plywood is made effectively of veneers I'm surprised adding one more will make it curl, especially at 0.6mm. But doing both sides is possible.

    Veneering plywood

    I am making an oak bathroom cabinet and would like a structural back panel to add stiffness and resistance to racking. My idea is to 'veneer' one face of an 18mm ply panel with vertical oak strips, each perhaps 75mm or so wide, so the ply is not visible from inside the unit when the cupboard...
