Thanks Double D - New blades purchased from CSK!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and input on this. I've just ordered new sealed bearings and will be on the look for a 2400mm blade next, hopefully I can find a suitably priced CTB if not might...

Firstly, thanks for taking the time to help out.

You are correct adjustment is limited and all bearings need replacing.
Am I right in thinking the back bearings are facing the wrong way around...

Anyone know of any options of a complete replacement bearing guide "kit" to suit?

Hi all,
I've just picked up my first ever bandsaw an older Tampico MJ343B which I believe is a generic 14inch asian model with 335x160mm cutting capacity, 2400mm blade size, and 750w or 1HP motor....

Hi Maeltroll, I ended up not building a dust box, instead I rigged up a DIY dust collection system. Its basically a shop vac connected to an eBay dust collection cyclone and a bucket, which...

I’ll take it. Please PM details. Prefer collection Sunday 5th if it suits you.

Goldy1 - everything I read / watched online has been accurate about this saws performance in my experience. Negatives: Mitre gauge is only average, and I’ve found the top showing scratching and signs...

Ahh good pick up - I didn't figure this out until late into the build. Solution was to slide the saw about 50mm to the right and then plane off a small section of the 90x35 rail to let me access the...

Thanks Poundy - I elected to use pocket holes for the perceived additional strength as I was only willing to glue the base sections and legs, as it current doesn't fit out of the doorway of my small...

Hi all,

I'm very new to wood working and keen to make some ply furniture amongst other things, but thought I'd start by building my first workbench.

I’ve watched too many YouTube video’s to...

That is impressive, thanks for sharing. I just found the Dave Stanton option too. So many choices ;)

Nice work

Found these interesting comparisons of Track vs Table Saws I thought I'd share:

Thanks poundy - oh my comment was less on my experience, as I have none with contractor saws :) more others in this post and lots of online research eluding to the same. You raise very good points...

That is a sensation piece of kit and if I go down the track saw route looks like a good option, it may test my skills and maybe even the bank balance though :)

Repete that is one good looking workbench. Did you make the MFT grid yourself or purchase?
Thanks for the you tube links too

Lots of great info team thank you - and MFT top to a home made workbench looks like a solid option with plunge track saw as I don't know if I'll have the space for a sliding/table saw and it sound...

That is a sensation piece of kit. ���� and if I go down the track saw route looks like the way to go. It looks like it may test my skills and maybe even the bank balance to make, but....��

Thanks Handyjack- Space wise I've got a relatively small workshop area of around 2.5 x 4 that's currently full of a mixture of dodgy shelves and a combination of different makeshift workbenches. I'm...

Looks very effective 👏 thanks

New Post around tool recommendations added to tools category cheers

Hi All, I'm relatively new to wood working and plan on using this social isolation time to refine my skills and hopefully create some quality pieces from scratch with some furniture projects such as...

Thanks poundy great advice

Thank you

Hi Pete/woodhutt, thanks for your response and advice. My first few projects are likely to be plywood based an entertainment unit and bedside tables are the goal with 45 degree bevelled edges and...
