So consensus is there are two options for the saw (from new) : Laguna F3 @ £2,300 or the Axminster AP254LTS @ £2,500. Are there any others out there that are comparable. The Lumberjack TS1800 was mentioned but doesn't seem to be in the same league as the Laguna/Axminster along with a couple of...

Thanks - appreciate the advice. As an inexperienced woodworker this is where my head was - passing the piece over a dado blade seems to me to be a better option than a router table. As you say it is controlled, cutting against the tool rotation rather than across it. I know others have offered...

Nick - thanks for replying. Some very basic questions to follow - anyone who has been woodworking for more than five minutes look away now.....because otherwise you will be shaking your head and going don't let this guy use power tools.... So the arbor size is 5/8 = 15.875mm and the length is...

Thanks. It has interchangeable 1/2 and 1/4 inch collets - so it has power. I have ordered some cutters from Wealdon - and will see how they fare. Being new'ish to woodwork and never having had a spindle moulder I can't see how this would help with dados - rebates yes but dadoes I can't see how...

Thanks for the replies thus far. I have a router table (albeit the rutlands one) and so can cut rebates/dado's with this set up. The challenge I have had with this method is with the work piece wandering as it passes over the cutter. I am guessing it is the rotational motion that is pulling...

I am looking for a table saw that will take a dado stack. Budget to £4k, 16A supply available, no 3 phase. It is not for use in a commercial setting. I started wood working a few years ago and bought a Bosch GTS 10XC but am now looking to upgrade to a cabinet saw. I know there will be...

Really boring question - apologies. Has anyone found an adaptor that allows you to attach a Festool Dust Hose (Festool Suction hose D 27/32x3,5m-AS/CTR online) to the Central Tech Quick Clik adaptors (Quick Click 32mm (1.25″) Five-Piece Power Tool Adaptor Set (19-58mm) - Central Technology...

Peter - they look awesome and would fit the bill. Where are you based? I'd probably prefer the Veritas one but the doorway to my garage is 805mm so it likely wouldn't fit unless it can be disassembled? Be happy to move the conversaton to PM if easier. Thanks for posting.

Thanks to those who have replied thus far. In answer to a few of the questions ; 1) At the moment my woodworking has been pretty much based on power tool usage but the intention/desire is to improve my skills with hand tools. 2) I think I want one which is more traditonal with a vice/tail...

Hi, Still a relative newbie to woodworking and I am looking for a decent bench. I know there are many types of bench and lots of plans/videos to follow to build your own - but for the here and now and given time constraints I am most likely going to buy one. I have found a company in the...

Bump again. Anyone in the North East London/South West Essex willing/able to come and fine tune my p/t - for the price of pertol and a drink?

Bumping this thread just in case there is anyone in my neck of the woods who is willing and able to come and check my attempt at setting this planer up..... happy to pay petrol and drinks money as required! Also if anyone is in my neck of the woods and needs access to a p/t feel free to dm me...

I bought one of the itech300 machines from S&S back in July - I am having trouble getting the in/out feed tables co-planer and the fence square - are there any supplementary instructions you have on set up as the manual has no instructions whatsoever? I'm a total amatuer/DIY'er so will freely...

Hi Bruno - I am in Loughton as well. Always happy to meet someone else on their woodworking journey. I picked it up in lockdown - have made a few coffee tables, shelves etc but still very inexperienced. My garage is below - always happy to host if you wanted to while away a weekend day (new...

Not really mate. There is a time and a place..... He obviously thought his opinion was that important he needed to share it with the world, but tried to be clever and couch his words so as to give his opinion without 'giving his opinion'. He is perfectly entitled to his opinion and in fact at...

Picture for attention..... The back story is a) I am a DIY'er, b) took up woodworking during the pandemic, c) learning as I go, d) like most blokes, jump in with two feet, e) I buy shiny new stuff whenever I can..... I 'think' it is dialled in reasonably well (but not perfect) - over the...

Rutlands

Yup - he is replacing a consumer unit in the garage. The cable to the garage is rated at 100A. The box in there at the moment is quite small with only two 'circuits' (thats probably the wrong word) one for a series of 13A sockets and one for the LED lights. The new box has a couple of extra...

Sorry to jump in on someone elses thread but given I am about to have two 16A sockets installed in my garage - this thread was of interest. You mentioned 2.5mm T&E - these are the items the electrician has recommended to me .... The blurb on the suppliers website says this about the cable ...

With a budget of £100/150 can anyone point me in the direction of a semi decent mortise chisel starter set. Relatively new to woodworking but feel I need to add a set of mortise chisels to my armoury so I can practice correct technique etc. Thanks
