i ordered the FESTOOL 491588 FS-KS Combination Angle 0-180º from them. They sent the wrong piece - meant for the Kapex. I phoned and the next day the correct part arrived, together with t shirt, hat and a lovely old-fashioned folding ruler as compensation. A week or so later they picked up the...

I agree that cutting plugs is the way to go - and you are probably best to enlarge the holes first. That way you can select a piece of maple with matching grain and choose exactly where to cut the plug so the plug becomes almost invisible. One thing I always struggle with is getting a super...

I have the 300mm axminster disk sander and it has been excellent for what I need - with a mitre fence accurate enough to take very small amounts off mitres etc to make frames fit perfectly. I have no issues with it except it has an odd sized dust port - 2 and a half inches

Are you sure it doesn't include Festool ? - I want to buy a CMS and went through all the way up to the point where I had to confirm the purchase - ie the very last screen before you get the confirmatory email. The system had definitely taken 10% off at that point. I just want to get a quote on a...

As promised an update on Record's after sales service.... The engineer was here most of the day whilst I was at work. He has completely reassembled the planer table which is now perfectly in line. He has taken the riving knife away to 'alter' in some way and apparently will put it in the post...

The Jet clamps get a review in the WoodWhisperer podcast - Marc raves about them and says they are an improvement on the Bessey I'd certainly put an order in

Sorry about the delay in replying. I have a C26 plus which I have had since May this year. I bought it after seeing one in action in the garage of a retired chap in Oxford who makes clocks - he raved about it. I am limited by space (17x11 workshop) and this has definitely given me much more...

.... just got the C12 CE MH45 set yesterday - which is my first Fescool purchase. I can see the slope ahead of me and I am frightened by its potential steepness.

I wonder if anyone can suggest a good finish for Oak bathroom cabinets I have just made - panelled bath side and front, and 4 oak doors for under the sinks. I normally finish oak with danish oil +/- wax - I am worried that this will not be good enough to withstand drips and splashes. Any better...

I may be being thick and missing something obvious..... :oops: I have several routers - including a new T11 which is fantastic. However, years ago I bought a T5 and it is great for many things. However, quite often, when the bit is bought into contact with the wood, after a few seconds the...

Has anyone any experience of using half inch router cutter bits in a spindle moulder? I have a Record C26+ combination machine (which is great) and would like to be able to use router bits with it too. Axminster sell this...

Thanks for all your comments - particularly Oldsoke for volunteering. I really want to make everything myself for this piece - and last night made a trial 'handle' in ebony which I am really pleased with - now I just have to make 8 the same for the other drawers! Thanks again will keep you...

I am currently making a rather elaborate jewelry box in aformosa, yew and sycamore. When I work out how and have bought a new camera I will try to post some photos! I plan to make some very small discreet ebony handles for the drawers and cupboards - and wondered whether anyone has done this...

I also have the record 350 and had thought the mitre gauge was not up to standard - and I had looked at the Incra fence but it wouldn't fit due to the narrow mitre slot. However when I took the gauge apart I was able to screw in the 'peg' on which the mitre gauge rotates which made it better -...

I bought a 20mm T&G oak floor about 5.5m x 3.5 m from the Sussex people about 3 years ago and... I am afraid it was not good. I had to go over the whole thing with a belt sander as the T&G joints were so out of true. Also there were lots and lots of holes where they had just filled with some...

I get grief from SWMBO about her having to come out and get me from the workshop in the rain / dark / snow / sleet etc etc. I have wondered for a while whether I could get an intercom system - especially one that had lights or something that came on when a button was pressed in the house - ie...

Try http://www.tryrelics.co.uk/ - it is a restoration shop in Witney, Oxon which sells everything like that. I have nothing to do with the shop - only live nearby

At the risk of upsetting all those of you who have posted long and hard about combinations vs separates, is there anyone on the forum who owns a C26 Plus? I went to see one in action in Oxford at Toolmaster and was impressed with it. The Tersa block for the planer gave a fantastic finish, the...

Hello I am new to this forum and wonder if anyone has any advice where to find how to construct secret compartments in boxes? I plan to make a rather complex jewellery box and would love to hide a compartent in it I am grateful for any advice Thanks
