• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    The importance of a straight arbour.

    Some 10 or 12 years ago I did some repairs to the saw arbour on my Stenberg KEV 600 combination machine. Welded up the damage and filed it smooth to 0,05mm tolerance. Everything was straight and I enjoyed using it. Little by little over the years I have come to hate the table saw because it...

    What do people use for crosscutting theese days?

    I am having a need for a saw to crosscut large slabs. Up to let's say 3x12 inches or so. What do professionals use theese days? Is an old pendulum type saw still adequate? I have no intention to buy anything at the moment but I want to know what I should look out for on the secondhand market.
