It's an extension table ... Regards from Perth Derek

As others have mentioned, a work bench for hand tools and a MFT for power tools are two different animals. A hand tool bench needs to be as solid as possible. Being pretty is a bonus. This work bench is all about work-holding and being solid and immovable. A face vice and a tail vice are...

Jacob, I assume that you have not used a MFT table. I do as you do with my work bench - I would add a dog hole where it appears to be needed. The actual position of the dog hole is what suits holding the work piece. However, a MFT has dog holes positioned to angle work pieces, or position the...

I cannot see a specific reason to have 96mm spacing. I am sure that 100mm would work just as well. The 96mm was devised by Festool for a reason, but I do not know what it was. I would argue that the 96mm is commonly used as this is a perpetuation of the jigs and guides for making a MFT. This...

Doug, I have two versions with similarities. In essence what they aim it is creating a mallet head with maximum mass (for the specific task) in as small a head as possibe (for ease of use). The first is a modified Veritas, and the second is a brass infilled morticing mallet (the smallet mallet...

One correction to make: the photos of grinding are reversed. (I took these photos a few weeks back, and lost the memory of what was happening at the sharp end). Also, as noted, this is a jig to train the hand. You will discard it after the angle and rotation become familiar. Regards from Perth...

For many years I have used a Drill Doctor to sharpen drill bits, always feeling a little guilty as I have prided myself in sharpening just about anything freehand. This is excusable for very small bits, but 1/8" and up should be doable by hand ... well, I have seen these demonstrated for some...

It is amazing that Sellers comes up with all these original ideas! I wonder how it was done before he was around? Anyone who wants to make a fine marking knife for dovetails: A Knife for Marking Dovetails by Derek Cohen For most other marking I use one of these Stanley knives, and do credit...

I'll take you on, Richard :) A bit too fancy? :cool: Regards from Perth Derek

I have had a Hammer N4400 bandsaw for around 11 or 12 years now. The hinges for the fence were not a great fit - tolerances could have been better. These were replaced when noticed. Other than also replacing the band, it has run flawlessly. Enough power and tension to use a 1" carbide re-saw...

I purchased a tin of this the other day ... ... and it arrived full. I must have received your share as well? Regards from Perth Derek p.s. I suggest your's was poorly filled. Take it back.

I added the following to my website in March this year. It seems appropriate to complete the thread .... MFT rail hinge and fence (Mk 2) Part 1 A while back I decided to dip my toes in the MFT water, and built a table and rail hinge. The hinge was made from cutting boards, which likely...

I have the 500mm Banggood version, and it is perfectly square. My rationale here, since I much prefer purchasing from locals (but none of these manufacturers are local for me as I am in Oz), is that they are all machined with CNC equipment. It comes down to, then, how accurately the machines...
