Compressor recommendations
Evenin' What are your recommendations for a compressor setup? I want a quiet one and there seems to be options for that. Already been told to get a screw type as they're quiter but I'd still consider a cheaper piston type if it's silenced. Any companies around the south west who can supply and servi...

Re: Compact sliding table saw choices.
I know this is an old post but I would also recommend an SCM saw (or their minimax range or casadei).
All my machinery is SCM, some new, some very old and it's all excellent value compared to stuff down this end of the market.

Re: Sander recommendations
A mains sander will probably have more oomph but more important is the speed and orbit pattern. Some sanders have smaller pattern of say 2mm for fine work and some have a 5mm pattern for quicker, more aggressive sanding. Look at a good budget 150mm like the metabo sxe 450. Or for seriously quick rem...

Wide belt sander, spindle moulder
Hi,
I'm going to start contacting dealers but wondered if anyone has a 950mm wide belt sander going? We also need a spindle with sliding table and power feed (power feed not so important as we can get one).
Cheers

Re: Bench project: where to get timber?
Contact your closest cabinet maker/joiner and ask them to supply you some prepared timber to the sizes you need.
I'd be happy to supply someone if they gave me a cutting list. Might take a few weeks though!

Re: Just starting out and need table saw advice
If you're cutting sheet material for cupboards then even a cheap track saw can be extremely accurate. You also need less space than a table saw to cut large pieces.
I lived without a table saw for years when I started out.

I can't find the specs anywhere online and the dealer isn't much use atm as they're mostly shut down due to covid.

18mm or 24mm ply?
I've been asked to quote to replace some wardrobe doors with birch ply. I usually dissuade people from large birch doors as they tend to warp or twist.
Anyone notice a difference between 18mm and 24mm in terms of stability? The doors are 530mm x 1830mm so not too big.

I would ring/email a few machinery dealers if I were you. Tell them your requirements and a budget and they will tell you if they think they can find something. Sometimes they will unload a machine for cheap if they don't want it taking up space. Ebay is more expensive than dealers these days!

Re: Joining legs to worktop
Those brackets will work but obviously won't look great and you won't be able to mount the leg too near the corner.
I would use a standard knock down bracket (attached) which will mean adding an apron around 3 sides of the top.
