Hi Charlie Been on a search to find out what buttons are :-? , i have now found out, i have seen them before but did not know what they were called. These will not work on my table and the top and two leave are no fixed in any way to the restr of the table. they just sit on top. I basically...

It will be a table that has pull out half leaves, the closed up size is roughly 3'-0" square (sorry for the feet and ins). The thickness of the top will be 3/4in which i think may cause the top to cup hence my thinking of the breadboard ends. "One way or another there needs to scope for movement...

I am about to make a table top but i'm concerned about movement of all the components against each other. There will be smallish widths, about 2 to 3 in by 36in long. The main part will have about ten of these with a board running across the end grains. I know this is a bad setup but cannot...

The solid top does look good, nice and clean looking. What are buttons or shrinkage plates ??

Below is a very rough sketch, i was goinf to fully glue the frame end, a dab on each of the inner length at each end. The sketch was done on my laptop using the pad, it was a right pain http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd445/Hawkeyefxr/table.jpg

Ah a lot of info, good. I want the frame around the table top as i am copying and existing table that belonged to my Wife's mother. The original is pine i thing but in very poor condition. It has horriblr legs (i think) great big bulbus round things. I am making them square so the whole thing...

This is identicle to my 8101 RAS that i have just bought. Mine has the left side guard missing so i am off in search of one. I think they made different models, they ended in a / then a number. Mine has the number 3 after the /. I belive this means it has the full table supports making a very...

I have imported many bits for my Harley from the States. It's a bit of a lottery as to how it comes through, the ol customs men aint dim (unfortunatley). What i have found is that goods come through easier at holiday times, Easter, Christmas. I think there must be a deluge of parcels comeing...

Just to let you know, DeWalt sent me a manual as a PDF file the same day. How good a service is that. All i have to do now is rearrange my workshop to fit the saw in. It will be worth it. On a different note, the saw is bloody heavey, 112kg, weights a ton. At least the workshop won't blow away...

I have been lucky enough to get my hands on a dewalt radial arm saw, model dw8101. Unfortunatley there was no manual for it. I have contacted DeWalt about a manual but in the mean time does anyone here have a manual they could copy for me. I will pay all costs of copying and postage, even put in...

I am upgrading my Electra Bekam KS250 saw,i bought this many years ago at Axminsters show. It has and still is a good saw, it cuts square and the angles are perfect. How ever, i have a need to cut wider and thicker boards now. I am thinking of a sliding compound mitre saw as this will let me...
