    Can I fit a diamond blade to my Dewalt SCM saw?

    I have a great saw for my wood but it would be nice to cut some bricks with the same level of accuracy - is it possible to fit a diamond blade to the saw or is this a stupid idea? Thanks Miles

    Fruit cage - 2x2"?

    Interesting point - I guess cable ties would be the option there + something easy to roll the netting on and off with. Sounds like a pain thought :)

    Fruit cage - 2x2"?

    I am about to design and build a fruit cage for my father. It will be c. 3x8m ad 2m tall. Initially I am thinking: 1) timber to be 2x2" 2) I will mount it on replaceable sticks into the ground to allow for rotting 3) The bottom of the legs to be connected for greater stability and ease of...

    how to extract a stuck bit / colette from a router?

    No Bob you're right it is a dewalt however the nut comes off the end of the thread which is attached to the motor (the bit with the hole in which the spindle lock engages with). This leaves the collet to come out etc. I will endeavour to remove the bits at the end of each job (though having...

    how to extract a stuck bit / colette from a router?

    Well that was uncomfortable! I followed most / all of the suggestions above: 1) Spray of WD40 2) Tap with hammer / wood in all the ways suggested 3) Fasten mole grips and attempt to use the nut All failed. :( :shock: Eventually use the mole grips on their very strongest setting to hold the...

    how to extract a stuck bit / colette from a router?

    I have not used the router for a few months and now find that the bit I used is stuck in there. Obviously I can't use oil to release it as the next one will just spin so what can I do? I have undone the nut which secured the pairing and can now see the colette but can't work out how to release...

    12 of the Finest Double-entendres !!

    What about (all from Brian Johnston's wiki page): Jonathan Agnew suggested that Ian Botham was out hit wicket because he had failed to "get his leg over" - Johnston carried on commentating (and giggling) for 30 seconds before dissolving into helpless laughter when Neil Harvey was representing...

    July Challenge " Decorated Platter " Discussion thread

    Hygiene is not a requirement but is utility? Does it have to look like a plate and one that you could serve stuff off as some things which are designed to be shown as pure art (cut up platters etc) are often called platters (when some might call them wall hangings etc) :)

    ??????? CONTINUATION OF THE 2011 CHALLENGE ???? ( POLL )

    How is it a waste of time? you're saying it's not the points or the league table so what else is it for? Personally having discovered my taste must be at odds with the Judges I'm resigned to not winning so I'm in the same sort of position as you state, i.e. the only reason for entering is to...
