Wish I had seen your message on Saturday before I successfully failed to locate the centre and drilled four slightly off-centre holes in four identical legs. It doesn’t make any functional or aesthetic difference, but knowing this failure will definitely annoy me for some time.

Was going to suggest the same video. Very informative. Can't imagine anyone who wants to use their appliance for many years going with the heat-pump dryer.

That value is likely for HVLP systems (High Volume Low Pressure). Camvac is HPLV (High Pressure Low Volume). I can't imagine a three-motor Camvac not being able to handle any workshop machine, provided it uses the appropriate hose size. A better question is: is your workshop wired for the...

Haven't tried it personally, but saw a few reviews. The most useful review I have seen is this:

If you decide to buy Isotunes - be prepared to return them. I own Isotunes XTRA (also in ear) and use them as an ornament to remind me of an expensive mistake. Compared to the yellow earmuffs I bought from Toolstation for under £3 some years ago, the XTRA ticks all the wrong boxes: They are...

I would create a template with, for example, a 9x9 grid of holes (these can be made with a drill). I would then create a couple of dowels or dogs to anchor the template to the already-drilled holes, and use that template with a router, either with a profile cutter or a bushing. Obviously, the...

If the image is accurate and not some sort of mirrored photo, this bench appears to have been designed for left-handed people. For right-handed woodworkers, the face vice is typically on the left-hand side, with the tail vice positioned at the opposite end. Regular looking workbench UJK...

Professional knife sharpeners usually use belt grinders. 1"x30" (25x762 mm) models are very popular. They are lightweight, compact, and suitable for sharpening all types of blades. Most less expensive knife-sharpening jigs are designed for belt grinders. Switching belts is relatively quick...

To those who suggested Tinkercad above: how would you achieve the goal of creating the model that the original poster needs using Tinkercad? It is entirely possible with any parametric CAD software where you can import a photo, create a sketch, trace the image, adjust dimensions and...

Hello Simon, As has already been mentioned earlier, you'll get as many answers as there are packages. CAD software belongs to the category of things where you can choose only any two from the following: Free, Easy, Powerful - not all three. I have wasted years jumping between free and...

Agreed. edthewood is one of my "saved sellers" on my eBay account. I've bought from them and interacted with them in the past, and based on my experience, I highly recommend this seller.

Small correction. In DF500 column - weight shown is the tool weight In DF700 - weight shown is the transport weight with accessories According to this page: DF700 tool weight is under 6kg.

There are compatible batteries available on eBay and other places for 1/3 to 1/4 of Dyson's price. Yes, I realise that it is usually frowned upon to use non-original batteries, but we have used them for years without issues. For those who are extra careful, it may make sense to unplug the...

Hello @Sachakins I am in the same situation, and on those rare occasions when I bought wet filament (Bambu/PETG), I used our food dehydrator in the kitchen to dry it initially. After that, the spool goes into a dry box where a desiccant keeps it relatively dry for months. In actual fact -...

I do occasionally dry my filament, but I don’t own a filament dryer. There are at least four things to consider with most filament dryers: 1. Is it going to burn your house down? - most well-known brands, including Sovol, should be safe in this regard. 2. Does it release moisture, or does it...
