OK maybe try and drag the photo from google onto your device and then drag onto the forum?

I don't have a google photos account so cant try it myself. FlickR seeems to work but who knows when they will want to follow fotofuckit and charge too?

But you have to open the full editor mode to get it to work.

Ha! I was not fishing for complements honest. I'm just a bit pissed that they could not be bother even to say they had got my diagram or even that they did not understand it lol.

LOL I picked this up over on UKW. To do it means bypassing the thermal overload in the motor and some careful wiring. Rather than publish the method widely I sent the OP a diagram by PM as well as to another member with a "ME TOO" request. I've not heard a thing from either of them. :evil: Pearls be...

The worst of the cracking (radial cracks on the cut ends) has possibly happened already. If you did not seal those faces and there not too many crack then you have been lucky. Paint the ends of your cut boards with surplus gloss paint, even emulsion should help or neat pva. you want the moisture to ...

Hi Mark,
Is there a photo coming any time soon?

Cheers

Trinket boxes, bandsawn boxes, most novelty items etc
Ideal for xmas gifts if you do that sort of thing.

Woodturning if you have a lathe, small bowls, fruit, pens etc or flog it to turners.

Looking online at the spares for this saw there is no exploded diagram for the motor unit which suggests spares are not available for the gearbox. Furthermore the complete motor is no longer available. The blade should not turn freely as the gearing typically 5:1 would provide some resistance. I sus...

When you can hold a camera steady again, post a nice pin sharp photo of the plate on the motor and I can focus my advice around that info.
Quite happy to help if I can. Keeps me off the streets lol

You have a choice. Electrically or mechanically. Check to see if the motor is dual voltage or not. The actual motor plate NOT the machine plate should say either 380-415v or 230-415v. If the second one then an inverter will do the job for you. If just the higher small voltage range then it needs a s...

Almost certainly not Invertek are making some for certain types of single phase motors with permanent capacitors but it is rare to find this sort of motor on a drill as they offer poor starting torque. If your motor clicks as you switch off ie has a centrifugal switch then the invertek solution will...

Use 100mm (110mm soil pipe is cheap) only reducing at the tool end for as short a length as possible. Numerous plans online to make cyclones.

I expect that we are wasting our keyboard time. The OP has not bothered to check in to look for replies since posting his question. This is why I feel that forum setting defaults ought to be set to send reply notifications automatically to start with and members can switch them off later if they wis...

I can't advise on the specifics of the machines that you list but at this price point I would make sure to buy from a supplier with good customer service reputation. Tables can be twisted,concave or convex. The fences can be floppy or fail to lock down square repeatedly. All will lead to poor cuttin...

I don't know anything about the specifics of Tyme lathes but you should never ever hit any part of a machine directly with a hammer unless you are determined to damage it. A piece of wood between hammer and machine or use a rubber mallet. If it does not move as you expect, don't bash seven bells out...

Could always use a faux tenon end as the opening edge covers to fool the purists?

Given the position you are in I'd make through mortises with less than full penetration tenons. Wedge as normal and then fit small pieces to cover the recess. Yes these will be visible on the edge of the door but the normal method is visible too. You could even cut the rails asymmetrically so the ex...

You will need to be tethered to some sort of dust collection so having a power lead too is not a problem and no battery life issues.
I've not experienced different makes of sander. Happy with my Bosch 125 mm ros and Mirka abrasives

A rule of thumb that seemed to hold true both for most screws and round headed bolts is that the head diameter is about double the thread diameter. There will always be exceptions of course!

Hi Keith I'm afraid that you guess incorrectly. This sort of machinery is powered by an induction motor. The speed is solely governed by the frequency of the mains supply. If your lathe happens to have a 3 phase motor on it (rare for a hobby machine) then there could be a box of tricks known as an i...

Make a box joint jig and run it along the fence with the gap closed up. No need at all for the tee slot.

You and other forum users are welcome to pick through what remains of my brain lol.

You might find some helpful bits in here even though it is three phase. http://www.thewoodhaven2.co.uk/viewtopi ... =22&t=3921

If it helps, I could order the remote for you and investigate the wiring. I've possible got some 110v contactors here too.
I'd rough wire it and then send it to you to stuff in a box with your 110v connectors.
Would that help?

The you tube guy is basically on the right track but the soundtrack is full of little errors and crap presentation.

Sorry Mark, only just seen this. Problem is 110v. most of these switches are plug in to 13amp socket so expect 240v ac in. 12v wireless switches exist but then you need a 110v wall wart type power supply. I think you are going to need to look over the pond and import something from USA as they will ...

I'm struggling to see quite what the difficulty is apart from having to make the reference face the back of the door rather than the front.
Something like 7-8 mm groove in all parts, tongues on rails and divider and floating solid wood panels or maybe veneered mdf.

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 ...
