I'm building some built in carcasses and am using standard 18mm MDF with 6mm MDF backs. To shorten the learning curve on MDF finishing what do you use? I assume some sort of sealer first then roller on some eggshell or is stain better? Also standard screws with pre drlled pilots or splash...

I've a couple of vacs I use for fine dust extracting, one has a larger bore pipe, is industrial and stays in the workshop and I use a Henry when on site for vaccing up. I need to sort out some adaptors, whether stepped or not for them. Main priority is to get some adaptors for the Henry to fit...

Firstly Thanks to Doug for an excellent Hitachi smcs that I'm setting up for an apprentice so he can start his own small workshop in an 8' x 6' shed in his mums garden. It is in excellent nick and I'll post some pics of it in use with the young man using it once I'm satisfied he is safe using...

We all know you either love it or hate it (Marmite that is) but what about xmas pud? Personally hate the claggy heavy mess. Rest of family love it. My old mum always asks me if I want some and I always say 'no thanks I don't like it'. Same every year. I usually cook the festive offerings...

I've left one of my fave clamps on a job and it's gone. It was a BMK hand clamp, about 12", I've had the pair for a few years, made in germany and use them all the time. Now I've only one :( Anyway I've searched the net and cannot find them for sale anywhere. BMK is Brunner ? ? i think...

I know the Metabo 450 is well liked as an ROS and quite a few of you have one, not seen a negative comment yet about it. Working in London this week and my sander of 10 years (Bosch Blue when they were prob a proper trade item) has packed in this afternoon. So a purchase is on the cards. As...

Does anyone have or know where they might be a blade guard for the above machine? It has a 14" blade. If someone has one from an older model machine I can adapt it and spray yellow it to match in. I've been watching ebay for a few months but not a sniff and I'm getting closer to installing the...

Evening All. I'm looking for a second hand spindle moulder. I have 3 phase so can go for a well looked after older machine (single phase ok too). I'm thinking of maybe a sedgwick as the table isn't too big space wise and not a very large footprint as some of the Wadkin et al are). Any one...

what type of ducting are people using in their workshops? I have a startright dust extractor with 100mm bore, reasonably powerful, and need to pipe to 3 machines, an RAS, a P/T and a spare hose for handhelds etc on the bench. I'll need to use blast gates of course (unless there's another...

I have a dewalt 729 RAS which cuts beautifully and is really smooth (due to being on 3 phase). My father had the smaller version 721 and had some accessories, a sanding drum and a router attachment if I remember correctly. I've searched via google and checked the dewealt web site but can't find...
