    Where to buy screws for flush hinges

    I don’t like flush hinges as I can never source the correct screws for them. Usually they don’t come with screws and if they do, they’re often terrible. So, where’s a good place to source small screws for flush hinges? I typically use 50mm flush hinges so the screws need to be roughly 3mm x 20mm...

    Help with repairing my table saw

    After running it for a bit, it’s still broken. The saw turns on but sparks excessively and the thermal cut out kicks in regularly as there is too much resistance on the motor.

    Help with repairing my table saw

    So, I took the motor apart but it looked like new inside. I couldn’t see any evidence of shorting (I would expect to have seen a black patch) so I put it back together and tried again. The blade turns freely but there was quite a lot of resistance on it. It turns on now and still sparks too...

    Help with repairing my table saw

    I think it’s a shorted armature in the motor and will need to replace the motor. Any idea where I can get a new motor from, I have tried searching on the internet and can’t find anything.

    Yes, I have the manual but there isn’t anything in there that I can see which would help me. I have checked the overload button and that’s not the problem unfortunately.

    Help with repairing my table saw

    I have checked and the commutator is clearly visible when I take the brushes out. I turned it on today and it started but turned itself off immediately again. The brushes weren’t seated correctly so I have tried to seat them better - basically they unseat themselves when I try to screw the cap...

    Help with repairing my table saw

    I’ll double check tomorrow to make sure but yes, I’m sure I could see the commutator when I removed the brushes. I can understand why this would cause the sparking but would it stop it from turning on now? I don’t think there’s any power going to the motor. Is there a fuse I can check and if...

    Corner bead router bit

    I’m trying to build a matching cabinet but the face frame has a 1/4” bead and I cannot find a 1/4” bead router bit anywhere. The closest I have found is 3/8. Where can I buy a 1/4” bead router bit?

    Help with repairing my table saw

    I have a Scheppach HS105 table saw that I bought secondhand a few months ago. It seemed in good condition and until now has been working well. I used it to cut down a bit of studwork and I ended up braking the saw: The blade clearly was blunt (it had been fine for the MDF that I have cut a lot...
