To pursue the Alex Honnold analogy, just because there are publicly available videos of some dude free soloing an enormous wall surely doesn't constitute a recommendation that everyone / all climbers should just go right ahead and copy his example. At a minimum they would need to seek...

I'm not overlooking that point. I believe that all woodworking content - designed to be educational or simply illustrative - should have a mandatory disclaimer clearly stating that woodworking is inherently dangerous and not to copy the ways of working shown without referring to safety manuals...

I am relatively new to woodworking and have had no formal training. In fact I have relied heavily upon online resources to learn to use the equipment I have at my disposal. As a newbie though, it is not always easy to differentiate between reliable sources of good practice and people doing...

3 year warranty on all Bosch Pro tools as long as you register the purchase within the set time limit. Blades - yeah the standard supplied Bosch blade was decent - certainly good enough for sheet goods. But the dedicated rip and crosscut blades from Freud work a treat with the dense tropical...

Hi Mike Sorry to hear about your troubles. The SCM FS30C or the Hammer A3-31 would clearly be upgrades on your existing machine. A possible alternative would be machines made by Holzprofi. The company is based in Austria but I have dealt with their branch in France and the customer service...

So this morning I was tuning my bandsaw and trying to sort out the blade tracking and bearing guide alignment after installation of a new (thicker M42) Tuffsaws blade. The saw was unplugged obviously and I was spinning the bottom wheel by hand and observing the bottom bearings. Somehow...

I built a Ron Paulk style torsion box bench and some heavy duty sawhorses based on plans from an article by Josh Finn for it to sit on. The top is actually two torsion boxes bolted together for modularity and ease of lifting. The dimensions are 1800 mm x 480 mm, so together 1800 mm x 960 mm...

My Bosch GKT55 track saw with Freud blades installed (dedicated rip and crosscut - quick and easy to swap) cuts through dense tropical hardwoods like e.g. Purpleheart without issue. Produces clean straight cuts. Two inches is possible but it’s about the limit (52mm with the track, 57 without)...

I built mine out of good quality 18mm marine grade ply. I live in the tropics and work outside on a covered driveway where the bench lives permanently. After 2+ years there is no noticeable change to the holes or the surface. Not a cheap option as you say but definitely durable even in very...

Probably not worth the faff when you'll need to use it with a transformer. Out of interest, is the option to buy it second-hand or in a sale for a bargain price? If not, I'm personally not convinced that the premium you pay for a new TS55 is warranted over some of the "mid priced"...

Looks great Kev! I built a "Morley Mortiser" jig for loose tenon joinery recently. Bought the plans from Philip Morley's website and adapted the dimensions a bit. Not used it much yet but the test mortises were a decent fit after a bit of calibration. Below is a photo. You clamp the workpeice...

I have a Wera set that has served me well.

It's not a depth stop. A paring block acts a reference face to register a chisel against so you can pare the workpeice to the set angle or shape you want.

The only mitre saw I've ever owned is the 8" (216mm) Bosch GCM8SJL. Works great for me. It has a cut capacity of 70mm x 312mm at 0°. I make furniture and other small decorative peices. Do very little large carpentry/joinery work. So I rarely/never miss the larger blade capacity. I find it very...

They are available to download from the WoodWorkers Workshop website. You have to buy them of course. Give them a call if you want to take the complete set as they might be willing to give you a deal for the three.

Likewise. Family sent a few across the Atlantic as part of a larger package. Will bring some back with me next time I'm in the UK to avoid the postage and taxes.

Two other machines to consider new in a similar(ish) price bracket. iTech BS400 - 16" flywheels, 1.5kW motor, £1918 (inc VAT) new. Centauro Smart 400 - 16" flywheels, 0.75kW motor, £1798 (inc VAT) new. @ScottandSargeant sell these two saws and the RP Sabre 450. Might be worth talking to...

I bought Peter’s complete “ultimate bandsaw” series the other day as I recently acquired my first bandsaw. Very helpful in setting up the machine and lots of useful tips on maintenance and use. Highly recommended!

Thirded. Definitely my favourite tool shop. Great products, excellent service!
