Sorry for misquoting you. As I've said before on this forum I always have the no. 80 handy, but I use a lot of reversing grain timber and my level of craftsmanship is pretty low, I always feel I've done well if the belt sander stays in the cupboard. Paddy

I used to try to work just in metric but now seem to use imperial more and more. this is partly due to a lot of my hand tools being imperial (it's a lot easier to subtract a 1/2 inch from 11/2 inches than 12.7 from 36). I'd say if the plans are imperial don't convert them just go with it...

I've just got in from work and for some reason I have had this business going around my head all day. Having read some of the responses, from Derek, Corneel and in a earlier thread from Graham Hayden I think that I may have been slightly wrong on some of my previous assertions. The conclusion...

I saw one go on ebay the other day for £200 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BAS-500-Band- ... Swv-NWVxJL I thought it seemed cheap but I would say £700 is too much bearing in mind that a new record BS 400 is £999. Paddy

I'm sure DW will be along soon to discuss this. It is probably worth distinguishing between "woodworkers" and "woodwork forum users". I am not for a minute suggesting that being a forum user means you are not a great craftsman, but I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of woodworkers do...

Where do you see post count?

Do all the tenons come out the same or are the errors different on each? I have a woodrat and have had a batch of tenons that were all to large, discovered that my half in cutter was actually 12.4mm. Once I realised and allowed for this they were ok. If they vary then I would suspect clamping...

Just noticed this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HAMMER-planer ... SwwE5WVZ3D A Hammer A3 41 nearly new for £5500 compared with this http://www.felder.at/files/2014/11/hamm ... gb_eng.pdf the same machine new for £2634 admitedley without the spiral cutter block which I can't find a price for right...

Cheers Chris, got the macerator fixed after you went. Enjoying a nice glass of whisky now. Paddy

reckon I got everyone trumped today on the least favourite job. I got into the dry dock and the toilet macerator was blocked. Should have spent the morning gluing up a new door I've been making but instead spent it picking out bits of used tampon from the macerator impeller. There's sign on the...

From the same store they are £126 and out of stock. http://www.workshopheaven.com/tools/Nar ... black.html As Mr P says it is easier to stick a 0 on price rather than delete listing

Not quite sure why I'm even getting sucked into this but "There are five cures for tearing 1. Reverse the direction of planning 2. Sharpen the blade 3. Take a very fine cut 4. Set the cap iron very close 5. Close up the mouth Any one of these or combination will prevent tearing" taken from...

Would it be less likely to break if you warmed it first?

I think the main reason that there are so many negative threads about Rutlands is that they do sell some good stuff and do have competitive pricing. They are so nearly an excellent shop, but they let themselves down with poor customer service, selective publishing of reviews and questionable...

I'd say it is well worth signing up for a free account, there is a lot of free content if you sigh up that isn't on you tube. You would have to be very knowledgeable not to find stuff to learn from it.

I'd be interested in 4x60, 1x120 ,ceramic Paddy

Same advice in Wearing's essential woodworker, along with some other tear out reduction strategies,

If your plans can accommodate losing 5 cm on each piece then pm me. No problem putting them over the planer and though the thicknesser With pieces that big it is difficult to plane the edges for jointing on the machine because they are too heavy to square on the planer, however I have a way to...

I can do 12" (300mm) in Enfield dock EN3. Paddy
