Since I started woodworking about 18 months ago, I've been hand planing all my rough stock using a 5 1/2 jack plane to get one flat reference face before running it through a benchtop thicknesser to get a flat and parallel opposing face. I use the "hybrid milling" approach advocated by the...

Think Adam's on the money!

I should add that the price listed on the website is not indicative of the price I paid. I bought a P/T and a double filtration extraction unit from them and got a substantial discount on the price of the combined machines.

:ROFLMAO:

Little if any market here (French Guiana) for used machinary. If I'm importing then I'd prefer to do it with a warranty and after-sales technical support. You're right that the Holzprofi is a fairly generic Chinese/Taiwanese import. But the HBS480 (it's big sister) is a popular saw in France and...

What sort of budget do you have? Are you looking for a new or used machine? And how much resawing capacity do you want/need? Maybe others can advise on smaller cheaper machines that can handle resawing. But, if looking for a new machine, I'd be considering one of the following moderately...

Thanks for sharing the link to these videos Roy. A super nice and versatile bench! I built a modular Ron Paulk inspired bench with two 1800 x 480mm torsion boxes that bolt together. I made it more stable by sitting the top on some heavy duty, solid-wood sawhorse tables from the plans in Josh...

I haven't used finger/box jointing bits so can't advise on that. But I do know the Incra jig will help you to accurately cut box joints and dovetails as well as rebates, dados, grooves, etc... Very versatile. Clamping multiple peices together on a right angled fixture is possible with the Incra...

The issue is one of complex dynamic systems and thresholds or tipping points. Once a change in the state of a system occurs it can be irreversible. Climatic systems and eco-systems are both undergoing rapid change and we don't know for sure how this will affect us (likely different effects for...

How wide are the box sides? And how big (wide) do you want the fingers to be?

To add, you just use standard straight bits with this jig. Metric sizes for the metric version, imperial for the imperial. One box joint template comes with the jig and you can either buy more (also available from WoodWorkersWorkshop) or make your own using the free online software - pyrouterjig.

The original Incra jig (metric or imperial versions are available at WoodWorkersWorkshop) could be a good choice. Very accurate and versatile jig. You can either buy the compatible Incra fence to go with the jig or make your own. Pretty cheap too @ ~£65 for the jig and about the same for the...

Agree - good job!

Good point :LOL:

Apologies then - I misunderstood.

I never claimed to know the whole answer. It is indeed a complex problem. Not sure there's any need for your condescending tone however. And your post contributes nothing meaningful. Do you even have a worthwhile point to make?

Makes sense but depending on how the labelling is used could be a bit disengenous - i.e. X company advertising that they are now part of the 'Made in Britain' organisation but then importing most of the products they sell under their brand and making just a few bits and bobs in house.

Interesting discussion about reshoring and shortening supply chains here on the Made in Britain website. Apparently a possible trend towards "reshoring" manufacturing in the UK is being driven by a number of factors including (1) rising container shipping rates from China, (2) rising Chinese...

Interesting. I believe that all the UJK stuff is manufactured in the UK (correct me if I'm wrong). But their machinery is mostly/all from the Far East. So can they apply this label to just a subset of their branded products?

How do you know? ;)
