Do Simons do individual sheets?

They must be close to you. (Says a Northerner!)

My solution will replace my Excalibur so has to be wall mounted and needs to take 8x4ft sheets so a wall saw is the way to go for me. I’d probably start with a second hand Excalibur 4000 they come up on here regularly (I’ve just given one away, unfortunately). Then replace the head with a plunge sa...

That is very interesting! Is it possible to use a track saw in a vertical plane? It might make a useful substitute for a normal wall mounted saw. I've been thinking about possibly buying one of Peter Parfit's pre-drilled bench tops from Axminster tools. It's basically the same as the Festool MFT be...

I’ve not come across this in a metal frame, we’ve had a couple glued with silicon in wood frames.

Your first thought would be our response.

Thanks but I’m looking for around 1000m, so a lot of wrapping!

I need some custom size paper wrapped slip, does anyone have contact details of a manufacturer? Or a supplier other than Simons & Rose & Hollis (I’m waiting for them to get me some prices).

Thanks

It was probably laminated glass. They cut both sheets of glass then use lighter fluid to melt the plastic.

I don’t know about the standard 939 (or the 969) but the 939ma (mine) definitely does not fit through a doorway, this is the reason I’m selling mine. I bought it, got it back to my workshop and couldn’t fit it in! So it sits unloved and unused in a storage area.

I’ve got an old 939MA that I’m thinking of parting with. But I’m a long way from you!

Looks mint!

How much are you hoping for?

Is there VAT on the sale?

Thanks

I did exactly that. Loved the Mat Pro. Try to get one with the end cutter, great for sizing the mounts before cutting. The mat pro cut down on waste massively and the quality of mounts (especially double mounts) went up massively. It also saved a bunch of time. I kept the keencut “just in case” and ...

I’m making a box frame 18” x 10” with a deep glass spacer. The customer has asked for acrylic which I don’t do a lot of, would I need 3mm at this size to stop sag or would 2mm be sufficient?

Thanks

We are sadly not allowed dado blades in our table saws in the uk (in commercial environments)

Sounds good to me, I’ll PM you.

Could you give me an idea of how much you were thinking?

I need a black gloss moulding 30mm x 15mm, Mainline have discontinued 007-0305.

My customer has already got several frames in this moulding.

Thanks in advance

I’m considering moving premises, my current shop has around 12 parking spaces, 3 have staff cars in leaving 9 for customers. At the most we probably have 5 customer cars at any one time. The new premises doesn’t have dedicated parking, just street and pay and display. How do members with this set up...
