    Wadkin Knife setting jig for BAO/S 12

    The other Alan was last on Dec 2023. His projection is correct as the cutting circle and block size are the diameter, whereas the blade projection is in addition to the radius, so is half/double depending on how you think about it.

    Using AI For Inspiration

    I think they are great ideas to step off of. Making them precisely i see as fraught with difficulty, i don't think wood grain structure works the same in real life as in most of the images.

    Tree in a tree!

    Being exceptionally skeptical of anything on the internet that seems out of the ordinary I had to do some googling on this. I can happily report this one seems to be true with plenty of other evidence, seems to be in spain and searching "Pino-Roble de Canicosa de la Sierra Burgos" brings lots of...

    Battery Fire Risks

    You made me think! A bit of googling and the level of actual incidents is very low, although growing. The majority seem to be from large battery devices, scooters, ebikes etc and most of them during charging. Many fire services provide similar guidance to avoid scenarios where: Batteries...

    Buying advice - multitool, random orbital sander and router

    Multitool I have a bosch £50ish jobbie. Always found it adequate for it's job. Corded but a cordless would be lovely. Sander, I have an expensive £250 bosch, replaced a £60ish unit. I would never go back as the vibrations on the cheap one were horrid. Router, I have a cordless palm router...

    So it happened.........what next

    Even knowing it was coming it will be a shock. You sound a bit like me in how you work, your loyalty to your team, and desire to help others achieve. To be pushed out from this environment will feel horrible. What's important to remember is that whilst is is personal, it's happened to you, it is...

    Help and Advice

    The main options are: - House clearance firm : quick and low hassle but you'll get terrible value for the items, and no idea where many of the smaller items will end up, landfill? - Donate them to a charity / mens shed : likely lowish hassle and fairly quick, you'll know they are being used...

    Bandsaw Issues?

    Just looked up your bandsaw and its a complete beast! In my opinion is should be running butter smooth! There is a great video from mtmwood where he has received the same bandsaw and is putting it through it's paces. At the 14min mark there are some deep rip cuts and there is no noticeable blade...

    Bandsaw Issues?

    This is my Axminster sbw4300 running. It’s quite noisy but no flapping and minimal vibration. It’s running a 13mm 6tpi m42 tuffsaw blade tensioned to 7 on the 0-10 tension scale, running with the middle of the blade on the middle of the wheel crown.

    Wooden vice screw

    @SteL did you go down the import route from 'dictum'? Or did you find another supplier. Currently in the same boat that I want a wood vice screw for my workbench and struggling to find one.

    Plumbing problem...

    When I took mine out the system I could only force air into the vessel with a small bike suspension pump at 100psi+ the diaphragm was firmly adhered to the vessel wall in all locations. It was the adhesion causing the issue not the pressure in the system.

    Planer thicknesser mobile cart 600 kilos

    That’s a huge weight, I think you’ll need something like a set of machinery skates. They are not normally a permanent fixture and would raise the machine considerably. Also would be worried about any solid wheel deforming with that load in a static position for any period of time.

    Plumbing problem...

    An undersized expansion vessel for your system volume will put more stress on the diaphragm, could be part of your issue. We installed a number of old school radiators and had to install secondary expansion vessel due to the extra volume.

    Plumbing problem...

    Sounds same as when my expansion vessel failed. The diaphragm in the vessel ends up forced against the vessel walls. My theory is once the diaphragm fails the air in the vessel leaks onto the water side, most boilers have a auto air release, or you bleed the air out of on of the radiators which...

    levelling a Lurem Former 310

    I was trying to find an image but failed, so a poor quality drawing instead. The thicknessed board has a baton/retaining timber added to the front and back edge so that it hooks over the bed.
