    INCRA LS32TSM Tablesaw fence for sale ... never used

    A couple of years back, I bought the LS32TSM INCRA tablesaw fence system from Rutlands . My intention was to install it onto my Grizzly tablesaw which I had shipped back from the States, but what with one thing and another I never did get round to it. I am currently having to downsize my shop...

    Opinions sought on a buyer/seller dispute.

    I recently sold , on Gumtreee, an Emco DB5 woodturning lathe. I purchased this lathe (pre-owned) with the intention of doing some metal spinning, but that never happened, and the lathe had very perfunctory use during the time I owned it. On the rare occasions it was used, it performed...

    Where do you buy your masking tape?

    I have been getting mine in widths from 1" to 3", from Stax. I am, however, getting sick of how the rolls coagulate into a gummy mess after a few weeks, rendering it impossible to tear off a clean strip. Can anybody recommend an alternative supplier, online or otherwise, whose masking tape...

    What is the correct name for this joint?

    Imagine, if you will, a length of wood 1 inch square , and say one foot in length, glued to a flat board. A second length , also one inch square, is butted up at right angles to the first, (and will also be glued down to the board eventually) but instead of a plain butt joint, the end of the...

    Metabo KGS255 mitre saw enquiry

    I bought one of these little beauties some years ago, and a very good buy it has turned out to be. The thing is, I have two of these U-shaped workpiece extension supports, but I can only find one of the aluminium blocks with the two holes and the wingbolt which is used to tighten them...

    Hardwood strips, 25mm x 4mm, where could I buy in bulk ?

    I am looking to purchase a significant quantity of hardwood strips, 25mm x 4 mm (or at a pinch, 5mm) and although I can buy small quantities off the mouldings rack in my local timber merchants, I would be surprised if I couldn't buy cheaper elsewhere. Species of hardwood isn't that important...

    How is sapele pommele cut from the tree?

    I am wondering if by any chance one of the experts here might have first hand knowledge of how sapele pommele is produced. My understanding (and I could be wrong) is that the stripey sapele veneer figure which we have all seen on a million doors is produced by quarter sawing the log, and...

    Restoring a worn look to an old pine floor.

    Shortly embarking on a project to convert an old warehouse to a restaurant, and the owner wants to preserve the old grey weathered look of the floor boards ( me, I would stick plywood down and lay carpet, but what do I know ).... Anyways, one of the first jobs will be to skim off the...

    Machining coves on the tablesaw

    When I worked in the States years ago, one of the routine jobs we had to do was to run coves (for cornices, or "crown moldings") on the tablesaw by clamping an auxiliary fence at an angle to the blade, and using multiple passes, raising the blade a fraction after every pass. Accuracy of radius...

    Which saw blade will give a flat bottomed kerf?

    Hi, I know this might seem like a strange question, but I would really like a recommendation for a 10" saw blade, which will give a wide (minimum 1/8") kerf with an absolutely flat bottom. I have several blades, but the rip blades are thin, and the others are cross cut or triple chip, and don't...
