Re: Kity Bestcombi 2000 Thicknesser Anti Kickback Pawls
Put it in the way round that "it seems to do nothing". If correctly installed it will prevent the wood from being spat out backwards by the cutting blades, and you can test this before firing up the motor by inserting a piece of wood in the normal direction (with the cutter set to a height where it ...

No. First screw straight through the legs into the centre shelf. Then end shelves are pocket screwed from underneath. Then the top is pocket screwed from the concave side of the legs.

Re: Sycamore sofa table WIP
Richard, Yep, you've got it. The centre shelf was screwed directly through the rebates for the outer shelves. The outer shelves were attached using plugged, pocket-hole style screws from the underside. I used the same method to attach the top, plugged pocket-holes in the back side of the legs.

A few years ago I made a wall-hanging display cabinet for some clients. It is on a French Cleat which was fixed to a nice, solid brick wall. They have now moved to a new-build house and want me to rehang the cabinet for them. I have been told that the new wall is plasterboard over blockwork, with a ...

Re: Guide ring challenge
As you are going to need 2 templates to account for the differing mortice lengths, why not them them with different widths too, and use the same bit and guide? You might even be able to put pins around the smaller template to locate it using the larger mortice, if you cut that first.

As you're only doing a coupe of metres a scratch stock might be the most cost effective way of achieving this. To do it with router will require a router table setup - if you have one then take a look at Wealden's mini mould cutters, they might be able to do what you want. As well as the cutter you ...

Sorry, I missed the bit about antique finish. Get the solid brass stuff, strip off any lacquer and treat it with this: http://www.jpennyltd.co.uk/shopping/pgm ... .php?id=50
For the clips you may have to get brass plated ones, but the fluid should still work.

Re: Combination woodworking machine
If you can afford the Hammer go for that. Single phase is an option, though a little more expensive. Also if you've got the space (and budget) go for separates, or if that is not on at least try to go for a half-combi and separate planer/thicknesser.

Yes, keep the pressure on the outfeed table side, but not on any section of the timber that the blades have not yet touched. I.E. only on bits of the timber that have been made flat already.
