When you try to apply for the grant they want your business rate number and if like me you don’t even qualify to pay them ,so I needed to get rate assessed but they would not do that so even though we have a small business,with a retail shop we don’t qualify for F##k all it’s typical big business gets their cash but the small guy gets F###ed over as usual ,we need a revolution

Hi guys thanks for all your reply’s , I think I sorted it the metal bit that the water feed pipe comes through kept moving so I had to dismantle it re tap the thread put a bigger bolt in it ,and replacing the band ,and all the other bolts , I use Steven Cull for band sharpening,I really didn’t realise how often the bands need changing ,it sure is a big learning curve but thanks to all you guys I am getting my head round it . Thanks Guys

Why is the band moving up in the cut as I start the cut it's quite a curve as always keen to hear your thoughts Thanks Mark

So have any of you ever milled the top of a resin table instead of say router planing it I was wondering if the resin would like totaly blunt the band ,why I ask is that I have a yew table top with resin but when I was router planing it one side of my jig dropped and now it’s got quite a big round hole in it so I was thinking of strapping it to my mill and just taking a nice clean slice ,as usual keen to hear your thoughts Cheers Mark
