That should be fine. There's only so low any plunge router can plunge !? Have you checked your depth adjuster (sorry if I'm stating the obvious.....)

....keep at least 3/4 of the cutter shank in the collet.....don't go extending too much.....this could be highly dangerous. You run the risk of the collet not gripping the cutter sufficiently.

Hi Gary, Sounds distinctly like blunt cutters to me. If you're cutting worktops, you should always use brand new. Just pop to BnQ and buy a new 50mm x 12.7mm Trend Straight 2 fluted cutter. Take about 6mm each pass, turn the speed up full & don't move too slowly with the cutter. You...

Danish Oil gives a great finish, my favourite, and easy to use ! 3 coats top and bottom & 5 coats on end grain and any fresh cut out areas before fixing the worktops. Then once a month for the first six months, and to be honest, just as you see fit afterwards. You'll notice if they become...

Exactly !! :D

Hi Kaseryn, In answer to your first question, you can use these : http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=35920&ts=89991 In answer to your second, the traditional method to deal with thicker skirting meeting narrow architrave would be to fit a 'plinth block'. If I knew how to...

The nobex champion will be infinitely more accurate than any £100 powered compound mitre saw. It doesn't cut compound mitres, but you don't need it to for this job. I have an expensive chopsaw, but wouldn't use it for a job like this. The nobex is far less noisy, less messy, less heavy and...

Don't worry people....have answered my own question !? (....sound of tumbleweed blowing through the forum.....) Am going to use this : http://floorsanderhire.com/trio.htm Followed by this : http://www.wood-you-like-diy.co.uk/acatalog/Fitting_&_Finish_Materials.html Job done...

Seasons Greetings n all that & Happy New Year.... Some specialist flooring advice needed.....I had posted this on the Skew-whiff forum with not one response !? Am planning on restoring our parquet floors soon (have been planning to for the last 11 years !?) The building's about 1850, the...

There are different methods to achieve what you're after Florrie. Depending on the width of your alcove, you can screw and plug battens in like this : http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i163/tumba69/IMG_2780.jpg Then MDF or Ply on top cut using Deluks' method (in this case 12mm MDF) ...

Hi Silverhornet, I think you're takling about fitting a window board ? The cill is generally considered to be the outside ledge of the window / door. If you could post a picture of the problem, you may get more replys with help ! :wink:

If it's a stuck rebate (i.e. the rebate is part of the integral frame and not a 'planted' on door stop) then I use one of these to ease frame rebates. Record 077a bullnose plane. When you take the 'nose' off it then allows you to get right into the corners. A little dated in the approach...

Hello Scrit :D Did you receive my email ? Just wondered if you knew a good supplier for Mafell....am after an AD160 planer/thicknesser in the New Year... Thought you might be the man to know !? Apologys all for hijacking the post :oops: :P

....you can use this for the skirting too.

If you're dead set on glueing the rail, then use 'pinkgrip' gripfill. You'll get it from any good builder's merchant, screwfix, etc.

Hi PilotPete, Danish Oil will look fantastic, it's easy to use to achieve a great finish, and keeping the surfaces looking great is really not that much of a hardship. No oil will give your Oak 100% protection. Common sense applies here. Mop up spillages immediately & avoid leaving any...

That really is the "fugliest" deluks ! :lol: No shortage of plans out there though it seems....

Yes, I should hope so... fuelled by too much Guinness on my part.... If you track down a good book on roofing that's not American, let me know.....I could do with one. :wink:

Hi Joe ! :D I know I'm probably not your favourite person :oops: ....but it's nearly Christmas and the season of good will to all men, etc..... :? ....anyway, there's great plans for saw-stools and saw-horses in : Manual of First and Second-fixing Carpentry by Les Goring...
