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...

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 ...

Use a bearing guided rebate cutter with the bearing diameter Xmm smaller than the cutter diameter. Where X= twice the difference in diameter of the existing hole and the diameter of the desired rebate. Do a practice hole first and dont do the full 10mm depth all in one go - 2-3 stages will be about ...

Very strong solution of van dyke crystals perhaps. Will tend to be a very dark brown rather than jet black.
Someone on another forum did some permanent blackening by flame charing but that seems risky to me!

Hi Pinelope, The proxxon range of tools is aimed at model makers and whilst well respected are not suitable for your needs. Maximum depth of cut is 8mm in softwood! Track saws* are great for sheet goods but less so for working with 4x2 etc as you have noted due to lack of support. Although you can't...

9fingers

Fully understand the need to keep costs down but the very cheap saws do suffer from problems. The worst of these is that the fence that will not repeatedly lock down truely parallel to the blade. If you can get to a shop like Axminster, they should be willing to demostrate their wares. Personally I ...

ABW tends to be darker than EW and can suffer from paler sapwood that only really comes to light once you have planed the wood.
Allow for for more wastage when working with sawn ABW

Mitre saws are notoriously difficult to extract the dust from. Youtube is full of exotic hoods etc to improve what is provided by the manufacturer. I've found that matching the area of the air inlets on a table saw to be more or less equal to the area of the exhaust port. This normally means bunging...

You could do a lot worse than a second hand startrite. As long as the tyres are ok, everything else are standard bits, bearings belts etc

Just leave it oiled and maybe just maybe try some wax if you must.
