PROJECT Tablesaw. I believe this is an old Rexon RXW-10. I’ve posted about the thread on here previously as I restored it but got scuppered at the last bit with a proprietary arbor thread. I believe it’s got a thread of 5/8, left handed, Acme, and 12.7 - 13 TPI. It is impossible to find a nut...

I’ve asked a few questions recently and not had any answers, so maybe there will be more luck with this one. Does this look like an Acme thread to anyone else? I need a nut for my possibly 1990’s Rexon RXW-10 saw. Zero information online about it I think it’s a 5/8” Acme left hand thread...

I’ve been without a tablesaw for a while now, must say that I really have missed one. As I’m always scanning marketplace I saw this and just picked it up for £45 as a project. Cast iron top, 1hp induction motor, and a solid seeming fence made me think it was worth a punt. I think it’s made by...

Got to be honest, I’m still saving but I wanted to tentatively ask if anyone is selling their corded makita tracksaw for a decent price? I’m currently saving to get one from screwfix, but if I can save a wedge every penny counts!

My Axminster TS250 induction motor cast iron top tablesaw has been customised to make it better as it’s from a former line. - Mitre slots have been professionally machined to accept 19mm (modern) mitre slot stuff - Custom zero clearance depth has been deepened so you can make a chunkier zero...

My current tracksaw is the Erbauer which weighs in at 5.62kg (the screwfix website lies). I have a variety of health issues and so the weight doesn’t do need any good. The makita is a well respected and affordable Saw and is around 25% lighter at allegedly 4.1kg but I’ve not weighed it...

My old Axminster Hobby range TS250 tablesaw died again recently, as I can’t afford another I’m changing how I do stuff. I think it’ll also be good for my YouTube channel and people with small workshops/budget tools. Anyway I’d previously made this cabinet for the saw And I wanted to keep on...

I posted a question about an Erbauer router that I’m trying to fix and it didn’t get any replies, and that’s just one of those things, but it did make me wonder if today’s throwaway society is rife within the Maker community as well. For me I love to bring life back to stuff, not just vintage...

I picked up a second hand Erbauer ER2100 to go into a router table today. Noob issue and didn’t get the chap to plug it in. It may or may not have worked at this point. I stripped it in order to make an above table lift. In the process the bushes came out and broke, but so did this what I...

I managed to be an silly person and break my bandsaw. RIP lower blade guide, so I’m looking for another I’ve tried JB Weld but that worked as well as week old chewing gum. I think the Dewalt version is the same as mine I have spent today trying to make my own mounts with bearings instead of...

For the DIYers I guess, but any recommendations on rattle can lacquers? So far I’ve had more success with car paint lacquer than stuff supposedly for wood when it comes to rattle cans

Can anyone tell me if the mitre slots on the old Record power TSPP250 are standard 19mm or if the Saw is too old for that

The consumer box in my garage workshop has a higher rated fuse than the one it goes to in the house - I believe 16 in the workshop and 13 in the house. It means that if something trips the circuit, it rarely does anything in the workshop and I have to go into the house to reset the fuse board...

I got into the workshop late today, but had planned the day to make a different kind of mitre box for easier and accessible box making, and making a video about it for my channel. I decided that I wanted to use one of the back saws I had restored recently. Had to dismantle it to straighten the...

Right, so earlier I picked up three saws to restore. Bought the lot for a tenner. Looking forward to bringing the Tyzack 14B back to life. The other two are Warranted Superior. I’ve read a bunch on the WS medallions, from the Disston seconds to use from other brands. I’ve seen the eagle, coat...

Here’s a question that may cause uproar but I’m honestly curious of the answer I’m making a new tote for my old Record number 5 as it’s my favourite plane and it took an unfortunate tumble breaking the original along the grain. As you’ll see, I’m completely ignoring probably hundreds of years...

Today I picked up a Startrite Mercury mk2 pillar drill for 35 quid and I’m quite excited about it! It was being sold after someone passed away and untested, but I figured it was worthwhile for the money - and it will be a significant improvement to my car boot Hilka that I’ve had for years and...

Hi All, New member, and still a new woodworker (around six months). I’ve mostly made tools, upgrades, and workshop stuff so far, but I did make some clocks and things for Christmas presents that I was pretty proud of. i started a YouTube channel because I’m a sufferer of chronic fibromyalgia...
