Is there a jig I can use on my home made table router to cut closed mortise joints ? Cutting open end ones is fine but want to cut some 3 inches in from the ends and tried drilling and chiseling and ended up screwed. [ No not me the joint! ] router cut ones would be better. Many thanks Bob

Hi coljack Many thanks now I understand, I shall try a couple of screws i've tried getting out and no joy.

I have four bits for a drill. One I've discovered is classed as a 'Saw bit' but cannot find a tool comapany that shows the other bits, each of which has a cutting area about 12-15mm holes they cut 8 6 & 4 mm but what makes them different from ordinary bits is the fact I have to set the drill in...

To FIX or not to FIX that is the question. My router with its home made thick laminate, approx 2.5mm, base plate [original removed] fits a treat into the table top recess of my home made table [plywood 18mm]. Should I fix each corner of the base plate with screws or is it safe to leave...

Sorry to be blunt but Confrontation is the best. Ask her why HE has her phone number when it's not necessary.

I have loads of saw dust and thought of re-cycling and making sawdust pellets to use on our open fire rather than chucking it on the local tip. With low finances we have to make savings where we can and fuel prices are abysmally high as we all know. And can MDF /chipboard saw dust be used or is...

Sorry fella's just testing the water to see if any came back cold with 'you are an idiot thinking you can cut a circle on a table saw' but it didn't happen. Very good answers especially about safety. Deluks might have seen what I came across on the web. I would imagine it would need a fine...

They would be made with timber same as the door frame. Window frames come ready made in soft and hardwood, door frames as you've been told come in kit form. So many sizes designs of windows they settle for few ready made styles and others you have to have made to measure/design. Hunt...
