If you have a spare piece of the flooring you could let in a Dutchman but it is skilled work if you are not a woodworker.

A bandsaw with at least 3 teeth in contact at all times. If your stock is thin then you might get some chipping if you cant mee the 3 tooth rule.
Drop the speed down and maybe masking tape on both sides of the cut line.

Ok Richard,
Hope you can find someone nearby.
If you have the manual in electronic form, I wonder if you could email me a copy for interest please?

OK I can see your videos ok. I presume this has not just happened but that you only just discovered it? Looks like its not been set properly at some stage. I'd guess that the two cams are out of step and just happen to be correct at zero. I'd be looking to reset it level by a combination of adjustin...

Hi Richard, I've been swapping emails with a mate about this problem. Jointly we think the eccentric adjust ment bushes are turning in their housings where they should stay still. I suggest that you wind the table up to zero cut and recheck for co planar, adjusting the bushes if needed. With a sharp...

You might get a manual from here https://www.scosarg.com/manuals-for-machines?manufacturer=2250 Slightly confused by yourr use of Front and Back in this context but I'm assuming nearest and furthest from the cutter block? Are you saying the infeed table droop get worse as it is lowered further? I do...

I quite agree Alan
One of the problems on this forum and others is that the underlying software defaults to NOT sending notifications to posters of replies.
It is quite normal to see that “one post wonders” don’t even revisit to see replies.

Sounds like the cutters are intended for a block with 1/4" pins? You are right you do need a better fit.

I swapped a few helpful posts about my RAS with him just after I got it
I'm generally good with electrics, motors and fixing up machinery but he seemed to know or could look up the history of all manner of woodworking machines.

I hope he is. He's the same age as me lol

I had a feeling that Doug B might know a bit about him.

All the symptoms suggest capacitor apart from tripping the RCD. Are you sure it was the RCD that tripped or was it the MCB that tripped which would be consistent with capacitor failure.

You need to make sure the blade guide system can cope with such narrow blades.
Secondly can you get 3 mm blades to fit? One of the best blade suppliers with advice freely given is Ian at tuffsaws

Sadly with Axminster's drive to expand into retail showroom sites and hence employing far more staff, the customer service has deteriorated quite markedly especially difficult to find anyone with knowledge of older machines.

According to the rating plate, the original capacitor was 40uF at 400v but the rewinders could have changed this value so you will have to check the value actually fitted. Furthermore the plate suggests that a brake might be fitted, this could have failed or need adjustment according to the type of ...

Most probably a failing start capacitor. A cheap fix with a similar value capacitor from eBay.
Post a picture of the markings on the capacitor if you want a suggested replacement.
It could be a different problem but capacitor is by far the most probable and the cheapest thing to try first.

Long bolts are no problem. Stainless steel studding is readily available in metre or more lengths.

Your chosen way of work is the total antithesis of mine but in my project write up here http://www.thewoodhaven2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3709 some of the jigs I designed could possibly be the basis of some custom shooting boards to achieve your aims. The last time I used a shooting board would ha...

You have seen the date of the OP I presume?

Never seen a lock like that. I'd use a standard lock and make a custom long bolt for it.

Traditionally birch ply was made in the baltic region, Russia, Latvia maybe Scandanavia too and the glue is a dark reddish brown but these days ply is being also made in china and they could easily be using a different adhesive which might explain what you are seeing. I don't know how to specify one...

I reckon traditional birch is on the left. The right hand one might be birch with a lighter coloured glue given an impression of being lighter over all.

See how well (or not) you can get the stain out without sanding through the veneer. Choose a grain filler a bit darker than the average colour to make the splits look like grain flecks.

If you are only buying small quantities and possibly only a "fair weather" woodworking, it might be worth buying fresh glue each spring and chucking the old stuff rather than risking premature failure of a project.

It is possibly important not to have too complex a project to start with or one needing too much design so he does not lose interest. He will benefit greatly from seeing partial results as he goes along and keep up his enthusiasm. Possibly you should try an hold back from taking over and let him mak...

502 and evostick will be both good within their design applications. Brands you have never heard of are possibly best avoided. Glue performance is graded by D number. Higher the number the more waterproof/resistant it is. Glue types vary in terms of open time, degree of tack and time before you can ...

Enjoying your woodwork is what it is all about for the amateur. When you become disatisified with the results then working on improving the bits that bug you.

Threaded bar initially seems good idea for gripping the resin but the thread weakens the bar. The effective diameter for load bearing purposes = the core diameter of the thread = the tapping drill, the diameter which you can look up. For metric threads this the is OD- thread pitch. M20 will have an ...
