Go to "Announcements" on his site. PS worth sending him a contribution to keep it going. :wink:

I'll just throw this in for comments, but what about getting the works (less the motor and stand) of one of the larger home bandsaws and arranging some rails and bits so it can be used as a bandmill?...

You may be able to download instructions. In the meantime, the idea is that the drill bit cuts a hole so that it would emerge along the centreline (English spelling :D) of the wood. The block that...

That's great Daniel. Were they opening types? What I want to do is to have bottom hinge, tilt in at the top, and water to stay outside. I could experiment, but somebody has done it lots of times...

This is the sort of thing I am after. Reclaim yards in the UK are unlikely to have this style, and certainly not the size I need.

It...

I can find information on the sashes themselves, but the bits I can't find are the way it is fitted in the frame, and how the water is kept out on the "tilt in" arrangement.

I would like to build some barn sash windows for my new shed, but these are nowhere to be found in the UK. I have looked for information but only found a text only article on Epinions. Does anyone...

Seems the AT range is replaced bt the TS now. I have the TS55, I feel I should have bought the TS75 so its there when I need it.

I wonder if it works ok when using the guide and splinter guard, as these will limit the wobble on the blade. With the CMS, the blade has no zero clearance insert, and is free to wobble.

I've just bought one of these along with quite a few other bits, and I must be doing something wrong. I get blade marks when ripping 10mm thick beech. It's not much load for the saw, and I tried a...

:D:D:D:D About time the rest of the world had something the US wants instead of you always having almost everything while we have to make do.;)

Yes the rattle's normal. I can't run mine without getting some fine dust going through to the vac, though it is just a thin coat on the bag that covers the filter. Perhaps I'm too fussy.

The UK has problems with the big sheds too, you're not alone. We're all our own worst enemies, we all want something cheap, and are then sorry when we get it. There is often a cost in time if you get...

You'll hate me as I'm always outside the box, but have you looked at something like the Festool portable saws and their guide rail? The TS75 will do a 75mm cut, and the accuracy is good enough to...

I start with a couple of large pieces at the back of the woodburner, then build a pile of small sticks in front on a couple sheets of paper. Light the paper and give plenty of top and bottom air for...

I understand there is. I found the information from Bill Pentz's site, so if I'm wrong it's my fault, if I'm right the credit is all Bill's.

The ideal for fine dust is 3:1, so it's quite a tall...

Given the dimensions of the cone, I suggest you have a very good filter on the output, you might be surprised how much of the small (and hazardous) dust is taken through.

There's something not right about the figures. 2HP, 4" hose, 1600CFM? It doesn't sound likely when they claim "DUST FREE" as well. 30 micron is large, so it's letting through the really hazardous...

You could use some screw-down jacking legs, so when it's in position, you lift it on the legs.

The advantage with metal ducting is that you can get parts which join together with flanges, and you just have to slip a strap with a toggle clamp over the flanges to seal and hold them together....

No big problem, it's only a pipe fitting exercise. You could cut the PVC pipes back until the ends will just mate with the ends of the bend. Then make some wooden flanges to go over the ends of the...

Thanks Jim. The sort of thing I was looking for is in this animation, http://www.festool.de/images/bilder/flash/cs70_gb.swf

It shouldn't be too difficult to sort one out, but as with most things,...

Link worked fine for me. I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.9.

I have seen pictures of a couple of portable site saw tables which use a pull handle to move the saw through the wood. Does anyone know of any diy plans or articles to make one of these. Festool's...

This is probably a bit late now, but you wouldn't have a bit with a 6mm shaft instead of 1/4" by any chance?
