As the topic heading suggests my query is regarding how underflush a table saw insert can be before it needs 'adjustment'. At the moment it is .015" to .020" underflush with the table. I just need someone with more experience to tell me if I need to shim it or not. I was going to canibalise some...

I’m an avid reader but never feel confident enough to contribute very much so it’s a while since I posted on this forum but I thought I’d just share with you the accident I had this morning on my table saw. I was ripping some 25mm timber, guard in and riving knife in place, when the saw stopped...

Can anyone tell me the correct way to remove blade on the above table saw please? I've removed the cover plate and can just get a 13mm spanner on the clamping nut. There is a cover plate over the side which carries electrics but I don't think it's necessary to remove this? The nut just has 2...

I have the chance to buy a EB HC260 Planer/Thicknesser in virtually new condition for £250. I currently just have a Rexon 6" bench top planer which has been fine so far. I was thinking of getting the Jet Bench top thicknesser to accompany it but this has thrown me into a qaundry. Separates are...

I'm sure this will have been covered before but I am never very successful at using the search facility. A mate of mine fells trees as part of his job and due to a tornado in Derby last week there is an abundance of timber available which he is involved in cutting up and carting away. He has...

I am about to build an archway for the garden and was wondering if anyone could advise which would be better - tanalised or untreated timber followed by suitable treatment. I've read differing opinions on this particularly with regard to the tanalising treatment being removed as the timber is...

First apologies for not contributing much to the forum. I read the posts avidly each day (without signing in mostly). I just enjoy learning from the contributors but don't feel very confident about adding my two penny worth. My question is whther any of the forum members have used the router...

I seem to remember someone saying that they had made a switch for a router table. I can't find the info and wondered if someone could advise me on the way to do this. I know an NVR switch is best but I'm trying to keep costs down. The router is 2000w DW625. Thanks,

What I'm planning to do is to make some decorative screening panels for the garden. (approx 1.8m sq) What's in my mind at the moment is to buy some 150x25mm tannalised timber, rip it down to 6mm strips and create a woven trellis attached to a frame. I'm a table saw novice so am a bit...

Have any of you guys used a Bosch Jigsaw MT300WP Inversion Stand? I can’t really justify a bandsaw but saw this and thought it might be a reasonable compromise. I accept there will be limitations but, for £30 notes from Axminster, I wondered if it was worth a try. Thanks,
