    cad design for workshop

    I can see the advantage of using CAD for cut and cost lists but to be honest this is a minor advantage (over paper and pencil) once you start to narrow down the final design. However it can be useful as an ongoing tool to address the build itself, electrics, lighting, weight loading etc and...

    Sold Patternmakers vice

    I have one of these, an absolute steel given they have been out of stock for an age now. I may still have a copy of the install PDF on me if you can't find yours.

    any suggestions on how to do this cut?

    I agree with space.dandy above, this is possibly not a function to be carried out on the table saw. You will release the energy of the whole cylinder towards the end of the cut which will be hard to control and likely not be consistent in kerf or safety. I'd be tempted to clamp a strip across /...

    Mid range/budget chisels

    Cost is often a real driver with many people for all things but then it's all relative anyhow. It doesn't negate the original comment of concerning the lack of regret in purchasing good tooling whatever end of the spectrum that is. I do get what you're saying but my main point was that people...

    Getting MFT top made. 96mm vs 100mm & Material

    In reality that UJK tool is just a CNC'd piece of Valchromat, the OP could always get one cut with 100mm adjusted spacing at the same time.

    Getting MFT top made. 96mm vs 100mm & Material

    The 96mm standard is just a throw back to post WW2 standards that were agreed relevant to on centre standards of 32mm at the time (based on gear's actually if it's of any interest). That led to other aspects adopting that standard such as door hinges, etc. In other words, 32mm was chosen as a...

    Mid range/budget chisels

    They rarely come up these days and when they do they are sold out in minutes. I appreciate they are probably relatively decent chisels relevant to new users however they are unlikely to be available within a reasonable time frame if at all. I would add that there is another aspect to...

    Workshop apron or coat

    Apron for me, light leather or heavy fabric generally but always with proper shoulder bracing and rear tie else they become very uncomfortable very quickly.

    Small Bandsaw

    All depends on what your expectations of it are, your budget and if you want it delivered or are prepared to pick one up. As long as all the parts work as they are meant to and you have a good blade in there you should be good to go, just work within its limitations. Check the actual power of...

    Mid range/budget chisels

    You can usually get the M373's a lot cheaper if you shop around, FFX do them for £55 at the moment and often sell the individual larger chisels as clearance though their Ebay store. I have a set of the M373's and the MS500's in my general toolboxes and whilst they are perfectly good chisels, not...

    Shaper Origin

    Third comment in over 30 months on here and you spent it on pointing out the obvious. Eh? Can I ask if you bought the workstation, is it needed to get the most from it.

    Mid range/budget chisels

    I'd be erring towards wood handled chisels, easier on the hand and lighter. As others have said, don't discount Narex. They have a good following and have the pedigree in recommendations and parentage.

    Shaper Origin

    I too am hankering after one. As already mentioned, no it is not really the tool to machine large designs on large work pieces it is however ideal to machine small designs on large pieces which is one of the areas where it seems to shine. If you message them prior to purchase and reference your...

    Garage Floor Repair

    I got that bit But hadn't seen that bit I would be interested in their advice relevant to your specific requirements. As already mentioned by myself, their own literature is quire specific in noting that 300 HD is not a wearing surface. For what it's worth, my main shop is a concrete slab...

    Garage Floor Repair

    300HD isn't a generic compound, my own reference was to the original post on this thread and the comment of self-levelling compound, apologies if it was my post that caused confusion. However, be aware that F Ball specifically state that their 300HD product is not purposed as a wearing surface...

    Purchasing tools on ebay

    I've been hit by this in the past when ordering tools from the US, I generally and eventually get the item delivered but its always a gamble. Whilst the target audience is bigger for the seller using the Ebay shipping program, a word of caution to buyers in that returning an item is not as...
