Liberon Lubricating Wax, says it all really. Its what its made for :wink: with a built in cleaner and rust preventer to boot. shouldn't really let it get to the stage where you need to use it. A light coat every now and again, or after a heavy session stops this. Think preventative...

Glad to hear they worked well for you :wink: Used properly they take the hard work out of drilling big holes. If you had of done that your augers would be scrap. The thread there for a reason. Im sure you will have noticed that they need a little push to get through the last bit, after the...

Spot on :wink: thesethings eat through joists but are more suited to impact drivers. As with all self feeding bits, Any more than 400rpm and they will break your wrists.

Completely wrong choice of blade to resaw with your machine, you would be much better with a more substantial blade more suited to resawing. Perhaps 1" x 2tpi. Bigger machines like the startrite are made to take bigger blades, cutting tight curves is the only real need for a smaller blade...

Hi Mike, So obvious its easily missed :wink: A Pic is worth a thousands words, Hi Bob, Sorry to hear of your troubles with the wheel kit, i think you should have tried it on the feet first before going to all the trouble of fabricating a frame for it. I have fitted a few of these kits...

Unfortunately gents, I live within stone throwing distance from Parkgate Cresent And can assure you that its no joke :( Such is the sorry state of the new PSNI.

Your blade has everything to do with it, I can recomend Bosch T144DP blades. They are quite a coarse cut but will cut square as long as they are sharp and you let the blade cut at its own rate, ie. dont force it. 2" Beech, HTH

Dewalt. HTH, Gary.

Hi Rob, Depending on size, i wouldn't like to be paying more than £500 for a normal external 50/70 or 70/90 oil boiler plus the fitting charge. Although i'm sure you could find a local plumber to do that for you at a reasonable cost (a days work at most) HTH Gary.

Hi Quick update, I returned the stone and got a replacement no problem (i thought) So of course wanted to try out the new one straight away. Using water this time, i proceeded to work on one of the marples chisels i use at work. Nice course grinding for all of about a minute then the...

Thanks for the replies, few pics, Im glad to hear its not my fault :oops: So i will send it back and see what happens Many thanks, Gary.

Hi all, I thought i would share my disaster with you all. I bought a double sided trend diamond stone, 7" x 2.5" course one side and fine on the other. I picked up a few old chisels a few days ago, and decided to work on them today. As i have read on various posts, WD40 is a recommended...

Hi Laura, Bit late :oops: I have kept the SIP simply because i couldnt be bothered to try and get rid of it. I have taken it on site a few times since and find it great for machining bits and pieces. So the Jet stays in the workshop and is used most of the time. The SIP is, i suppose, a back...

Hi Simon, As you are finding out everyone wants you to make them a "piece" until they find out what it will cost :roll: The cost of the timber alone can be staggering :cry: As a general rule/guideline for friends and family i usually charge 2-3 times the price of the timber(depending on the...

Yes :wink: Me :wink: Hi Laura, I have a Jet JPM-13CSX. It is a good machine, I previously had (still do) an SIP bench top thicknesser. To be honest the SIP is also a good machine for the money. Both have rubber feed rollers the SIP has a two knife cutter block and uses...
