    Help: Minimax S45 spring replacement

    Hi Thanks for your useful post. I'm considering buying a used S45N. I've read elsewhere that the S45N won't fully tension blades above 3/4" and just wondered whether with this spring upgrade you can properly tension a 1" resaw blade? Also how do you find this saw in general? It will mainly be...

    Cascamite WBP

    We’re considering introducing Aerolite One Shot into our production process but are a bit worried about exposure risks. Urea Formaldehyde is a known irritant and also from the little reading I’ve done a known carcinogen Probably fine for occasional exposure but not sure about frequent use. Just...

    Spiral block

    Hi Our experience with the spiral block in a new A3 41 back in 2014 wasn’t very positive - pronounced scallop lines running the length of the board as evidenced in this thread ( http://www.woodworkuk.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9594&hilit=hammer ). Given everyone else’s rave reviews I guess...

    humidifier recommendations ?

    Hi Custard How many dehumidiers you running? Costs a bit in electric but otherwise has gone a long way to solving a major problem.. Kitchen with underfloor heating next which will really test how dry our timber is! Not used any heating this year so far and still managing 18 degrees'ish -...

    humidifier recommendations ?

    We run 3 desiccant EcoAir DD322FW’s in our 900 sq foot space. Outside today is 95-96% and we’re at 57-58% with no heating. Normally achieve around 50% but weather at the moment is warmish and wet. Don’t know if this is a long term solution for us but for the moment helps to keep our timber nice...

    Latest kitchen

    Thanks Murdoch - very informative feedback! I read that it has a vinegary smell - probably fine for exterior stuff but not desirable to have a kitchen smelling of vinegar.. I assume the smell is temporary and dissipates after machining and finishing? What primer do you use? I guess the next...

    Latest kitchen

    Hi Lovely kitchen and nice website! Really interested in your use of Accoya. How does it compare to tulip wood with regard machining, density, resistance to denting, taking a painted finish, gluing etc.. As i understand it Accoya is manufactured from from fast growing pine - I assume this...

    Morrells Waterborne Clear- kitchen cab shelves. 362 or 332?

    Hi For kitchen cabinets we've always finished the shelves with Osmo Polyx. We've never had any call-backs or complaints but as we're set up for spraying and as I'm not convinced Osmo is really tough and or stain proof enough for cabinet shelves we're considering using Morrells translucent...

    Hammer A341 - Exraction?

    Hi Johnf A few people have recommended the SIP. Whats it like regarding quality of manufacture? Do you know if you can get a filter cartridge? On the SIP web site they mention filtration down to 1 micron using a bottom filter bag - bit confused by this as I've always used polythene sacks.. Tim

    Hammer A341 - Exraction?

    Hi Have posted this over on the other forum but thought it would be a good idea to post here as well - apologies to those who've already read it over there.. We recently brought a Hammer A341 (with silent power option) - nice bit of kit but that's for another day... At present we're extracting...

    best sliding Mitre saw 2nd fixing

    The Makita LS1013 we had was horrible for fine work. A lot of people love this saw so maybe we were unlucky.. The Kapex is a really nice bit of kit for fine accurate work, it's also fairly light to lug on site. We have the kapex set up on a Dewalt stand with Festool support extension wings. The...

    Walnut and painted WIP

    Hi Jon Really inspiring work! On page 2 of this post you use a 45 degree cutter to make the notches to allow for beaded frame construction. Would you mind telling me where you got the cutter - the only similar one I can find on the wealden site is called a mortar cutter...

    Fuji Q4 HVLP - Gravity or siphon cup gun?

    Hi I'm about to pull the trigger and buy a fuji Q4 hvlp spray set-up. I mainly intend to spray kitchen cabinets and frames (birch ply and tulip wood) with water based primer followed by water based acrylic eggshell (mainly farrow and ball or fired earth colours). I've read a lot and watched all...

    makita mitre saw stands anyone got one ?

    Hi Not familiar with the Metabo or Makita stands but I'm more than happy with the DeWalt DE7023 Universal Mitre Saw Stand. My 1013 stays mounted on it in the workshop or on site. It's light, has extendable supports and is pretty easy to fold up and transport, but you do need to detach the saw...

    Table saw for small (damp) workshop

    Hi As an update.. Finally found an unused and unregistered Festool Precisio cs70 on Ebay with sliding table and both support tables for a great price (virtually half rrp) - still more expensive than the others but has served us well and is ideal in a small shop and a bit of a Rolls Royce on...
