but wouldn’t constant use interfere with dust extraction? Hi Matt, I doubt it. The air flow on bandsaw extraction generally happens below the table and they are so far from being sealed systems, if a...

you could also try just sticking a sheet of 0.8mm thick high pressure laminate (eg Formica) down onto them with NEC tape This also gives you a zero clearance insert so that’s cool but wouldn’t const...

engineering lathe @rocknroller912 jealous of that one, I’ve a tiny hobby size wood lathe, engineering lathes seem prohibitively expensive for one that’s worth having. Arguably I’ve actually no sensib...

My existing set-up uses a 50mm rail height. The only downside with making it taller is that, if you also need to flatten something thinner, then your router bit might not be long enough to reach A v...

So should I go for a compromise of 55mm as standard to accommodate neck blanks?

that cutter is 52mm This is a great cutter and I love Wealden products, and I think they offer the best value for money of any UK brand. My only concern is that this is quite a big cutter to be using...

You already know what I think @darrenking! It's another beautifully made piece of kit from the Bagpress workshop. My existing set-up uses a 50mm rail height. The only downside with making it taller i...

there is nothing to stop a narrow blank being held diagonally I had thought of that after commenting @darrenking but wasn’t sure if it was a whack idea or not. So I guess it isn’t! 😆

Here’s mine for today Liking this @rocknroller912. 👍😁 🙏🎸🎶🙂

Here’s mine for today

My favourite song today, again from Daniel Lohues, who sings in a low saxon dialect. Hmmmmmm - I'll put that in the interesting/odd category @Marcel. Not one I'll be rushing out to buy ...

machine wax on bandsaw or table saw beds? If you are finding that the beds are getting a bit ‘grippy’ then one option is to give them a very fine sanding and polish or you could also try just stickin...

I need to look for a product like that as well cause I’m definitely not going to be spraying silicone on my bandsaw table, fook that!

@tej Ive got a big wood lathe which I cut down because it was too big and a small engineering lathe that I’ve used for pen making and some tools.

@rocknroller912 might give it a go and see what it’s like. Engineering or wood lathe?

@tej Sounds like it will be ok. I don’t use a lot of machines but cleaning sticky wood residue is the same on any tool even a hand saw, so if it does that no worries. I only use silicone on parts that...

Any parts the you might want to glue or finish will be affected by residue from lubricants. @rocknroller912 that was my main concern, this one states that it’s not silicone based and doesn’t Mark or ...

@tej Are you thinking of any particular brand ? I’ve used Lubo Wax which is petroleum based but now I use silicon grease spray for lubricating machine parts as it’s not greasy, dries and wood dust doe...
