Hi All,
How do you guys store your "G" & "F" clamps?:?
Mine are all in a cardboard carton under my bench (PITA) and it must be time to do something about it.:~
I thought of perhaps a bar mounted...

Thanks boys, Always good to get others ideas on things, I did'nt get any replys from Quokka so I went out today and bought a Groz 175mm from Carbatec. It's not a quick release but it seems to be...

Yes thanks Bob,
I was in Carbatec yesterday and they have a 4 sided student bench in there and they have checked the vices in deeper than the thickness of the f ixed jaw and then inserted a small...

Gday all,
I've been building a new work bench recently and wondered how a front mounting (standard woodworkers) vice should be mounted.

Is it the norm to check-in the rear (Fixed) jaw into the...

Nice one Kiwioutdoors, I remember those benches myself (Ex Seddon Memorial Technical College1962-1963) there must be one around somewhere that has my initials on it.
The Kauri top may be recoverable...

Yes I feel the same as Red Neck and Scooter, I felt that the screws on my Makita 3600BR were too smal (M4) so I drilled out the Holes and taped them deeper and with M5 threads
The M5 C/sunk cap...

Hi All, I guess many members have built router tables, here is mine.

Photo #1 is the legs of the table, Made from 30x30 mm Angle iron, the MDF on the top has been machined flat to correct a slight...

Set up your router in a 'Sled' then set up 2 slides either side of the cabinet (Speaker) so they are equally spaced about 25 mm or so above the faces you want to surface they must be exactly matched...

Hi All,
Further to my last thread, I've since found out that is a "Piercing" saw!
Spear and Jackson list the complete tool and blades (slightly differant frame to mine) but here's the catch, They...

Hi All,

The blade is missing but it is fitted to the...
