I'm looking to renovate my workshop this year, one of the things I want to improve is the flooring. My workshop is based in my garage and it has an uneven concrete floor, I've previously been using some padded flooring tiles which are fine until I need to more things around, they don't play...

Hey, I have a set of Axminister thin kerf blades, with a width of 2.1mm, however these are too thin for my current riving knife. Can anyone recommend anywhere to get a thin riving knife from, or alternatively is it possible to make one yourself? Cheers.

Hey, This is one of those tools that every time I use it I absolutely love it, makes joiner super quick and simple, the problem is I just don't build the things that make use of it often enough to warrant keeping it. I bought it Feb 2023, it's been used no more than a dozen times on builds...

I want to make the below, it's a dosing tray to weigh and transfer coffee beans. The bowl bit I'm fine with I can make a template and route out the inside. The bit I can't figure out is how to make the sides curve down to the base. Only way I can think is to use a bandsaw and make a serious...

I've reccently been lucky enough to upgrade my laser cutter, so I am selling my old one. It's a 20W (output) diode laser, with honeycomb bed, air assist and enclosuer oh and safety glasses of course. Enclosure has a 100mm extraction port so you can easily hook it up to an inline extractor...

I need to create a batch (10-20) wooden pencil holders, simple open top boxes done on laser cutter. Looking for some advice on an easy and quick to apply finish that has medium durability, potentially going to need to finish a lot of them in one go, hence why I want something quick and easy...

Came to try making some coasters and what not and ran into an issue where my cnc isn't cutting round. There are two straight sections on either side of the circle. To me this suggests that there's an issue with the X axis, I've double checked the coupler between the motor and the rail and all...

I'm curious what methods people use for work holding when cnc machining. I was using some double sidded tape last weekend and ended up wasting multiple bits of wood due to the tape failing. I've used super glue and blue tape before which works well, but feels a bit of a faff. I've used some...

I'm currently building a Rob Cosman workbench, one of the additions he has made is to add a solid wood edgebanding to protect the mdf edges. He uses torrefied wood to eliminate and movement and glues it directly to the mdf edges. The top is made up of 3 1 inch layers of mdf glued together. I...

The previous owners of my house removed the porch door, with the colder months approaching I'd love to put something in place to keep some of the heat it/cold out. I don't know what the best approach would be, whether to mirror the existing set up, ie door with two glass panes either side or...

I'm building a new mitre station with cabinets underneath for extra storage. They are frameless cabinets just made out of plywood. I want to install trays on drawer runners but I want a door in front. Are there hinges that will open in a way that the door is out of the way allowing the trays...

This is great for batching out dovetails and box joints, pretty easy to use once you know the steps. Comes with two combs, 3 router bits, vacuum adapter and 2 guide bushings. There is some minor cosmetic damage where my work piece slipped causing the router to touch the unit, has no affect on...

I have a Douzuki Gold 240mm saw as someone recommended trying it for dovetails. Tried cutting dovetails this evening in 19mm poplar and the cut was incredible slow. Was wondering if this was "normal" for douzuki saws? Non of my other Japanese saws are this slow, maybe that's what makes them...

Need to make room for other tools and seen as I habve a planer/thicknesser combo I can't really justify keeping this, despite it being loads easier to use than my combined machine. Happy to answer any questions as usual. HSS blades deliver 18,000 cuts/min, feed speed of 7m/min Depth capacity...

This is a great little bandsaw, I've used for everything from cutting out templates to resawing small stock, finally made room for a bigger model hence why I'm selling it. Purchased it In November 2022, added some upgrades such as better fence and mitre gauge, comes with a selection of blades...

I thought it may be useful if we colate a list of places where people get their supplies for laser cutting and or cnc'ing. These are the ones I've saved so far: Hobarts - My favourite Kitronik - Second favourite LaserPly 908 Trotec Sketch Laser Cutting

I'm thinking about getting myself a new bandsaw soon, possibly a SABRE-450 or similar. As such I'm going to need a dust/chip extractor that can support 100mm inlet. Space is the biggest limiting factor unfortunately, looking around the two main options seem to be either a wall mounted unit or...
