It was bought in Slovakia from an old pensioner, who had it air-dried for more than 10 years. It is from his own garden, but the bark was not removed properly, which might be why the woodworm attacked it. The street price for rough saw walnut in eastern Slovakia is around 1300 € / cubic meter.

Thanks, but I do not have such a freezer (and if I had one, it would definitely not be empty). I need 2 boards of 1,8m slabs for the workbench top, so I cannot cut it into smaller pieces.

Hello, Yesterday, I bought 80 mm thick walnut slabs for my new workbench. It has been air-dried for 10+ years. I was warned that there are wormholes in the sapwood, but for the price of 150 € for the whole lot, it was still a bargain. I cut off the waney edges and most of the wormholes, and...

Hello, I have finally found someone who is willing to buy my workbench and once sold I will be on the brink of making a new one. I was sourcing lumber online and I found people who are selling 75 - 80 mm thick boards of oak/walnut/ash, that have been air-dried for 7 - 10 years. My naive...

Yes, you are right, we should define a new measurement unit KPI. It stands for knob per inch.

I would add this one. You can sharpen all your edge tools to the same angle at once. It has never been easier. And I know that Jacob loves sharpening jigs. The only caveat is that you need to use gravestone for sharpening, as for some people, it needs to be really wide to accommodate all their...

T Thank you very much, I will watch it. :)

I have got a reply from Record Power in the UK and they are sending me replacement stickers, as they confirmed they had misspelled labels that slipped their quality control. I appreciate their great customer service.

I bought the machine from an authorized dealer in the Czech Republic (the only one for the Czech Republic and Slovakia). Hopefully, they are not selling knockoffs. Maybe just the Chinese factory that produces the machines ran out of stickers and did not have a single one left. So they produced...

Yes, no one sane would put their fingers into a running machine. But there are few, who would do it and then sue the company that there was no sticker that would warn them not to do it. And it was not self-evident for them. Something like this Liebeck vs. McDonald's

Yes, the same is on the Sabre, but when you open the door while the machine is running, it will turn off the power, but the blade can run for 10 more seconds until it stops. It does not have any kind of brake. So a sticker can help,too.

I am selling a bandsaw with a misspelled sticker for 8000 GBP :). I think that if it was somewhere in the user guide, it would be OK, but stickers should be double-checked for errors.

I did not want to start a war, but I share your feelings.

Yesterday, after a month of use, I noticed a warning sticker on my Sabre 350 bandsaw. I am far from a native speaker, but it does not feel right to me. Maybe some medieval English :)

Thank you very much Pete . In the meanwhile, I have rubbed the square end of the knob on the diamond stone and so far it holds. If it gets loose again, I will contact customer service.

Thanks for the replies. I am going to make some traditional gauges, too. But they are still on the long todo list. I have already made a pannel gauge and bought a few of hardened concrete nails for pins.

The thread is ok, and it can be tightened as much as possible without any issue with the thread. I think that the problem is the contact area between the stem and the screw.

Hello, I have a Veritas marking gauge ( the version in the image below). I like it very much, but it often looses its setting, so the main knob gets loose. I have to recheck the distance every few passes. I tighten every other knob prior to setting the distance and I use only the main knob in...

This thread is 17 years old and still going. . Is everyone involved still on the site and doing well? Please let us know :)

Thank you very much Mike. I will probably not drill holes into the machine until the 5 year warranty expires. But I have already made a dust collection from PVC pipes that is connected to shop vac. Maybe it can be further improved (as I do not know what to expect in terms of cleanliness with...
