I'd probably go a little bit slower than max - just run it and see how well it cuts and adjust the speed down a wee bit if it feels unbalanced (vibration) or you get any signs of scorching.
do you mean as a test crew for your plinththanks - i have some test pieces i can play with
frame all made dowel and glued up - just in clamps now - will see what i get tomorrow - grandchildren arriving tonight for a few days - so not sure how far i will get now
Personally, I think you'd be better off with a couple if coats of oil-based primer. PVA has its uses, but I've always been wary of using it to seal anything at floor level where it is more likely to get wet and retain moisture, although someone like @opps might be better placed to advise (and it might give him a second opportunity to tell me I'm... wrong ). I'd also pay attention to the top and bottom surfaces - the more protection the better.plinth now cut - and just needs rubbing down, will use some PVA to seal - probably 1:1
Always nice to see some WIP - I for one look forward to seeing the end result. I hope that SWMBO/LOYL will be suitably impressed when you are finished. Got to be worth a few brownie points, methinksbut thought i would posttAl
i'll see what primer we have , i think we have some exterior stuff , i used recently - not sure if oil basedoil-based primer.
Yep have loads of that - i replaced all the thresholds in the hall , and double coated those - so have at least 3/4-1/2 a tin left overBLO (boiled linseed oil)
I think so, yes. Sand off with fine paper between coats and after the last coat
I have put it on the tops and bottoms if exterior fire doors in the past and it makes quite a difference to durability. Useful to have some in the van
To anyone reading this in the future - after using BLO any contaminated cloths must be opened out and left to dry outside before you throw them away. BLO dries exothermically (i.e it gets hot) and screwed up and thrown away in a dustbin cloths imoregnated with BLO can get hot enough to start a fire
