Hi all. Anyone know what this type of electrical connector is called? And where to buy? Closest I could find is a fork connector, but the ones I see online are a different shape and size. It's off my Camvac unit. One of the little prongs broke off as I was taking the motor off.🤦‍♂️ (This is...

Hi all, I was recently given this old 1.5" firmer chisel that has what looks to be a metal band around the handle. Looking closely, I suspect that it actually goes right through the handle, as I don't see much evidence that the grain is continuous either side of it. I assume it's there to...

Hi all, I'm looking at ways of heating a curing oven I've recently built that will be used to fast-set laminated work glued with UF adhesive. Ideally I'd like the temperature to get up to around 60 degrees. The oven is an 18mm plywood box, approximately 1700 x 500 x 400 internal, covered in...

Hi all, I've just had a bandsaw blade fail on me and it's left me scratching my head. The blade in question is Tuff Saws SuperTuff Fast Cut 3/4" purchased back in September. It's a fairly thin blade at 1.5mm and developed a crack front to back between teeth. I've had three of these blades...

Hi all, Longest of long shots here, but does anyone have any clue where I might find a replacement drive belt for my Record Power BDS250 belt & disc sander? Failing that, does anyone have such a spare part gathering dust in a shed that I could part with some cash for? I've of course...

Hello all, Has anyone got any of these clamps? They look alright and would be a bargain if they stand up to the original Bessey clamps. Any thoughts appreciated. Cheers, George

Hi all, Just been thinking about this important aspect of the design process. I guess it's pretty much the very end of the design process! How do you go about presenting clients with a design? Do you use technical drawings, a 3D CAD model (possibly even a full 3D rendering if you're fancy) or...

Hi all, Does anyone own a Wadkin ASG? And if so, what do you do for a crosscut and/or mitre fence? I've just bought one and it didn't come with its original, so I'm looking for other options. There are lots of after-market mitre fences out there obviously, but these tend to be a bit on the...

Hello all, I'm looking at the Sedgwick TA315 table saw for regular heavy duty work and I notice it comes in both single phase and 3 phase, both with the same performance ratings and price. Forgive me if this has been addressed a million times before, but what exactly is the difference? It...

Hi all, About three months ago I bought a brand new Numatic TEM390A M-Class workshop vac from Axminster. As far as I could tell, it's one of the most affordable M-Class vacs out there and I was impressed with the claims it made as well as the onboard power socket with the auto-start. Today as...

Hi all, This is the first time posting on here for me and I have a question. Is anyone else really struggling to get hold of Cascamite? Specifically the Water and Boil Proof stuff? It's the main glue I use in my work and I'm pretty stuck without it. It's sold out everywhere I look at the...
