When is the next issue due to arrive? It seems months since reading the last one! I don't suppose my subscription has run out? Do they normally send out a renewal invitation?

I recently read on an American forum of someone using their tablesaw as a sander. They suggested grinding the teeth off an old blade and sticking the abrasive to the face of it. It seemed reasonable, although if any great side thrust was applied it may be detrimental to the bearing, but for...

I've recently had Sky+ installed (" months now) and found it great for ease of recording and playback. However I can't seem to get it to record programmes from some channels (eg Living, Alibi); but I can receive and watch these channels. Also the Anytime TV service does not seem to provide...

Every thread regarding new saw machinery always draws the response of " first throw away the blade and replace with a good one". Why should this be necessary. The manufacturers spend a lot of time and money extolling their machines quality and capabilities, so why don't they set the greatest...

Yandles site advises that Friday 27th Nov 2009 is SIPS Demo day, 10 til 4. With special SIP offers. Anyone thinking of buying before Christmas and before VAT reverts may get a deal; although looking at the SIP site prices seem to have escalated tremendously in the last two years. But they are...

In a recent thread DustyDave mentioned a spring loaded riving knife on his Mafell plunge saw, which reminded me that I really ought to refit the riving knife on my table saw. It is often coming off for non-through cuts. I then thought a spring loaded riving knife would be very convenient on a...

How many of you recognise these characteristics? The boss walked into the office one morning not knowing his zipper was down and his fly area wide open. His assistant walked up to him and said, 'This morning when you left your house, did you close your garage door?' The boss told her he knew...

Anyone here have an AL-KO Hobby rotovator, 3.5bhp? I bought a secondhand one on ebay a few years ago and it has given me great service. However last evening the clutch device started making peculiar noises and won't now work under load. The engine works fine but when the clutch lever is engaged...

I see these people advertised and from their basic website with prices "t.b.a." I see they do various makers equipment and blades, including Freud. But I have never seen them mentioned in the Forum. Has anyone here dealt with them? Is their service good? Are their prices reasonable? Has anyone...

I have been occasionally dropping in on a site for routering information, but I have never seen the site mentioned on this forum. So just in case others don't know of it, it is www.patwarner.com . It is an american site run by, I believe, a one man business, but he seems to know routers and...

I threw back the duvet cover and saw it was covered in light brown patches. It was fine last evening. My beautiful cast iron table saw had the beginnings of rust, even though I leave it covered when not in use (with an old duvet cover, not a duvet proper). It must have been light...

Currently I have a largish Dewalt router, which is great, but I get fed up switching between hand held and router table (a square of Formica finshed blockboard with recessed bolts). I'm thinking of justifying to myself splashing out and buy a second router. Previous threads recommended Triton...

'Afternoon all, I have finally done it. I have been reading this forum daily at work for the last 2 years or so, and gained a lot of knowledge from it. Everytime I thought I could contribute, some-one beat me to the response I would have made, so somehow I never registered. Now I have. My...
