I remember once i read something somewhere about clamping workpieces bigger than the chuck jaw fully open. Cant seem to find it again. Its a one off thing, but i still need it done. I have a steel rod of 25mm + a hair more. I need that "hair" bit gone so i could fit 25mm I.D. bearing on...

Where do you buy your green bars ? Purest Chromium III Oxide i find is in powder form and is not really convenient for tool polishing. Most of whats on ebay does not have descriptions of whats in the bar (most likely high content of Aluminium oxide). So, where do i get good quality polishing...

I'm seeing a lot of people using plain simple PVA (white/yellow) for lamination of wood. Somehow i associalte PVA with school projects, not serious woodwork (but what do i know after so many years)... Should i just get a tub full of white pva then ?

Holy moly, tuffsaws does look promising. And it does carry stuff i need AND posting is real good, even for northern ireland... Thanks a ton...

Been to McIntyres, as soon as i told thaem its for woodwork they showed me the door :D I'm looking for narrow blade, 6mm or 1/4. What do you use ? Carbide suggests 1/2, no ?

Where do i get a 93.5in x 1/4 and 93.5in x 1/2in bandsaw blades ? Cant seem to find the 1/4 one. Blades for woodworking, not metalwork... NONE of the local tool shops carry them. Been running between Dungannon/Armagh/Cookstown trying to find one - no one have these blades, half of visited...

Note: Kettle, 3.5kW, does NOT dim the lights.

Wood :D Jokes aside, i used to at a place and time when animal glue was common and it was the best. Nowadays animal glue is stupidly expensive... And i'm returning to woodworking after a long time, hence the question - whats the best glue. In general sense. I do understand that there are...

Thats exactly what i'm looking for, thank you muchly... :D

Looking to buy some "knockdown screws". Its a screw with a very wide and shallow pan head with a hex drive in it. Cant seem to find anything like it. Not even ebay. Maybe because i dont know what theyre called in UK, source of the plans is Canada so i'm sure its all because of naming...

What is considered "best glue" nowadays ? Something that doesnt take ages to dry/cure...

Any cheap options of this ? All i find is way more expensive than the motor itself...

Now this is how you derail a thread. Use phones boys. :D Is there a way to speed control this motor ?

No i dont need it to be switched for the job it does, but its always good to have available options. This motor goes into a bandsaw, but later i may need to switch it to other machines i'll build... #UPDATE# Yey, it liiiiiiiives !!!!... Yup, runs fine, and, damn, its quiet... Didnt expect...

But according to diagram it can be switched to CCW ? Isnt it a matter of switching over a bar or something ? I cant read this diagram so i'm just assuming its something simple. Also, it would not be used to switching "on the fly". Run in CW, turn off, switch, run CCW. No ?

Well, that was quick. I love diynot :D CW is what i need most... How do i wire a switch to change direction ?

Got new single phase electric motor, diagrams and all. But i'm an architecturally minded engineer and don't know squat about electric diagrams. Its a 1.1kw single phase Etec ML8022. I just need to know how to wire mains cord to it. Here's whats in control box: and here's the...
