Your blade height sound right to me and so does your technique of pressure transfer.
I think it can only be lack of coplanarity.

Most jigs have a fixed spacing for the tails and sockets which limits the sizes of the box sides to n times the number of joints plus a fixed amount otherwise you get half pins/ tails. I can't remember the numbers but it is something like 3.5 inches 4.5 , 5.5 etc If you are designing your drawer fro...

You will have to do significant mods to the drive to get down to steel cutting speed like a factor of 30. A factor of 10 would do aluminium both with a metal cutting blade. Metal swarf on the wheels is not a problem I cut all materials on mine. You could make a template follower perhaps to automatic...

OK Here is how to wire the relay in Remove the four wires from the existing NVR switch and put in the spares box. Drill a hole in the box just big enough to pass the new control cable through. Pull enough through to reach the new relay plus a bit and put a knot in the cable inside the box to retain ...

OK I'll work my solution around that. You are going to need a pair of 13amp sockets. One to plug in the machine itself and another one to plug in the remote socket. Is that OK?

I'll try and sort out something this evening - gotta get in the kitchen, put my pinny on now and get dinner lol

OK I'll sort something out. Are you looking for a "remote control in your pocket" type solution or the good old "yank on a string running the length of the workshop" alternative. Without stating the blindingly bleeding obvious, you have to be able to lay your hands on the remote ...

OK for the benefit of others, this machine has one of the small chinese KEDU integrated NVR switches where the whole thing is little bigger than the Stop and start buttons. These are not really suitable for modification in the way I did the one for Steve. He had a proper DOL/NVR starter which offers...

Did somebody call?

Can you send a picture of the nvr preferably with the cover removed please
If you can't post pictures here yet as a new member, email to motors@minchin.org.uk

Surely your bandsaw has a table already? Downright dangerous to use without one?
Maybe you mean a stand to allow you to move it around?

Easily made from offcuts of upvc pipe and solvent cement plus hacksaw.

Negative rake and limiters for use with RAS

PS you are pulling the saw towards you when making a cut not pushing I hope!

Based on what I read on another forum itech machinery is ok at hobby enthusiast level but the service from S&S was less than good over the ordering and delivery process. So maybe try and find a different supplier maybe

The RCD detects leakage to earth and I cannot think of any capacitor fault to cause a leak. Check for any whiskers of wire in all the connections but it could also be a dying motor which needs expert help to confirm before spending out on a new one.

I've recently been compiling a map of timber suppliers in UK https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RVOni06zDvh4fUENxuLQqvU1FiWht1oZ&usp=sharing I don't claim is is complete or that every place will do hardwoods but googling for the suppliers names on the map should lead you to their website show wha...

I did not think powder coating would work on wood both from needing electrostatic powder deposition which needs a conductive surface like metal and that it has to be cooked afterwards but reading here https://www.woodworkingnetwork.com/production-woodworking/woodworking-machinery-technology/The-Wond...

As much as your customers might like to be able to work out your price without asking you it means you have no wriggle room either when you need to manage demand or when your raw material costs change. So by all means use a spread sheet for your own purposes but I'd never give access to customers if...

It varies from saw to saw but the best setting is when the saw cuts completely parallel to the fence. Essential for resawing and veneer cutting.

I want to do something similar and have been kicking ideas around in my head. Currently the plan is full extension drawer slides two at the base and one at the top This would be supplemented by a castor under the front edge to add support when fully extended Depending on the floor covering the casto...

I generally prefer to use bearing guided cutters for template work. After rough cutting to slight oversize, I wind a couple of layers of masking tape around the bearing for the first routing cut which leaves the job marginally oversize. Then peel off the tape to make a final trim cut which will remo...

As a new member you can't post pics yet (I think) and without pics we can't really help. So maybe make another couple of posts about anything woody like introducing your self and what you are interested in and then come back to this thread with some photos. In the meantime familiarise yourself with ...

Unlikely. Normally all such levers do is to engage the drive to the feed rollers that are only needed when thicknessing.

Use something like zinnser primer to seal the surface. There is a good reason why we have used oil based paints for decades. So many problems arise with water based rubbish.

No fence, no riving knife, no crown guard,no mitre gauge, unloved.

Possibly. Some lathe motors have bespoke shaft lengths which makes finding a replacement a challenge.

Finger crossed that it lasts anyway.

The problem is the brand. Built down to a price. It will possibly be OK as motor wire is typically rated to 60 c operating temperature. The capacitor won't like running that hot so hopefully it is mounted externally and will be cooler. If it does fail ( motor will not start) it is cheap to replace. ...

You might find a local retired woodworker who would be happy for casual work. But the big challenge will be finding someone to work to the same standards as you adopt ( high or low lol) and that you can get on with. Delegation of work is difficult to start with. The other way is to take someone on f...

You can use the cam fixings designed for the job or screw through and plug the holes perhaps?

There should be another plate somewhere on the motor giving electrical parameters without which it is difficult to know the type of starter needed. If all six terminals are connected to six wires going where a starter would have been then it will be a star delta motor. If the six terminals have stra...

OK It maybe a more complex problem with the starting circuit. Very difficult to diagnose by email lol
