or should I say Irwin. Is it me or the amber handled chisels these days as bad as there cheaper range. I had an apprentice come to me prior to his skills test to sharpen his chisels on my tormek. And after looking at the edge of the steel, it looks awfully weak. They truely look like they are...

Anyone know where I can get any. I had a contractor come to the workshop today looking for a piece to be machined into a threshold strip as the have just laid a floor. Im based in east coast of scotland where there ain't much a selection of good timber sources. I need 2 lengths of 6" x 1.1/2" @...

I recon you are talking about 700mm depth of top for it to sit on. My 24v cordless is down the workshop so can't check.

Does anyone know of a manufacturer that does dovetail jigs down to 9mm I also need it to unrestricted about the width

I was told european / french oak was pretty cheap. But sapele, No that ain't durable, interior yea but not exterior, If your set up to manufacture and take on the job, Iroko should be no problem for you, and if she likes it, Then you will have a happy customer. Iroko will take the punishment.

I use the C's out on site especially if its in damp conditions or on things such as fencing or deckings. They work a treat.

A 1/2hr door blank. Is that agricultural enough for you. It is for me. Loads of narrow laminated timbers strips topped with 3mm ply. 8x4 does me. :shock: :lol:

I would totally agree with that one, if you go horizontally you will be using striaght cutter, and probably putting more pressure on the cutter doing it that way than using say a rebate or grooving cutter the convensional way

as in large scale production. it does remind me of contracts journal

Only because I have never seen a saw tip or planer blade letting go, but I have seen a cutter snap on an overhead router.

I think its bad enough a router bit snapping in a vertical position far less a horizontal position I wouldn't do it.

horizontal routering :? :? what do you class as horizontal routering
