I may be wrong being on the other side of the world to you but I suspect finding 20mm dado set might be more difficult than 30mm. You could bore out a 16mm set but the blade bodies are tougher than a whore's heart and must be done accurately. Swarf came off blue when I did this and I've avoided it s...

The bush (flange?) is redesigned to be much slimmer than the standard part such that the first blade of the dado set just clears the inside of the blade guard. You may need to file the arbor flat so the the minimum thickness dado (eg just the two outer blades and no chippers) is still gripped. The o...

I think you should check out Surrey Wood Suppliers, they provide a wide variety of products including: softwood and hardwood flooring, wooden furniture, decorative moldings, sheet goods, plywood and other hardwood products. Do you have a link to them please? I've googled that name without success. ...

Cheers Mark, Not sure why this forum has gone so incredibly quiet. I used to look in most days but rarely anything new or just a newbie question where the op does not call back in to see any replies. At least we can stay in touch via TWH2 if this site goes off the air. Hope all goes well with your D...

At least there are two of us looking out for you lol.

Its deathly quiet in here these days. You might find a few familiar names and a bit more activity in here if you fancy it?

I don't know where you will operate this machine but if there is any risk of freezing then make sure you add antifreeze to your coolant water.

A friend of mine failed to do this and I got the job of repairing the motor casing and sealing the coolant leak after a freeze up.

I share Trevanions viewpoint. I’m not likely to need to fit a handrail but I like the ideal of a mathematical/ graphical method being available to solve a problem. If you have the facilities this subject could make an excellent educational YouTube series. Please don’t be dispirited by low response t...

Just what it says.
I made a test post to explore something about pictures and deleted it however this forum does not allow a blank post or full deletion of a post so I had to leave something.
A few days ago I also messaged a moderator about the problem hence Jasons reply above.

Roger I'm in a little village east of Guildford. Bob I'm aware of that map, I've been on WH2 a long time. The only place listed in Surrey or anywhere near is Surrey Timbers in Guildford, who I do sometimes use as stated for "posh" stuff. After that you're well out of County on that map, w...

Normal ply is not designed to bend into tight radii like that. Instead perhaps look for bendy ply. Care will still be needed at the joint to ensure a smooth transition.

You might get somewhere with bleaching with say something like oxalic acid or just let it mellow to a silvery grey naturally.

I have never done it but understood that French polish was rubbed on with a pad and friction creating a little heat to dry the polish immediately behind the pad.

Internal hoops will help if you can seal your bin lid
Otherwise go for metal ones.

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?

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 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.
