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.

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 ...

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 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...

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.

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.
