I didn't know they offered that service, good to know.

I figured that would likely be the case.

Nice looking plane and good to know yet another up-cycler hasn't 'improved' it by screwing a mains light bulb holder on the end attached to a lead and plug. Or is that just a UK thing???

As already pointed out but to add; used planes require investment beyond the initial purchase price and it can be a skeet shoot if you don't know what to look for or acquire one with an unworkable issue. The QS options however, although a quicker route to a known working state, are not as...

I'd addressed the woundclot gauze in the original thread about using blade guards referenced in the opening post. They are not gimmicks and do save lives, I know people who wouldn't be here if they hadn't had access to them, albeit for chainsaw wounds as opposed to table saws. As in my original...

This not a discussion on our collective understanding of the semantics of incident or accident though, its referencing the HSE's use of the respective terms.

The OF1010 doesn't have the same ratchet as the 1400 and the 2200 though... Not a showstopper on the 1010 but you are clearly right, they make a difference.

Have to jump in again here as well, I am fairly invested into the Festool system and rarely have I needed to call but when I have it has been painless and always resolved. They are one of the few tool suppliers who have an array of actual contact numbers on their respective location websites...

+1 for the 1010, well balanced machine and the supplied accessories add to the functionality. When you use the track base and the rods it creates a large surface areas for the router that makes a very stable platform. if you don't have a track already It may make sense to get the set version...

I'm loving this. I've started my own new 'delayed' build due to space although I'm making the new building the workshop (despite being smaller) and using the old one for storage. My foundation is down and just prepping the metalwork. Similar setting to yourself - middle of nowhere in a forest...

There is a General Metalworking sub-section on here as well. Worth posting there if you haven't already.

You do know that your retort in claiming ignorance on sometimewoodworker's part only works if you deliberately ignore the context and ironically choose to not understand the word incident yourself, don't you? The HSE specifically and very clearly separates the two aspects of incident and...

I suspect there is a Gary Larson cartoon somewhere in the ether of a character called Jacob saying the same about the invention of the wheel..... ;)

There is a loose explanation on FastCap's channel, although this clearly looks like the prototype a few years back; Clear there are sometimes better ways, such as the inbuilt clamps but for awkward parts I find it really useful.

On the theme of sticks to keep hands away from blades, I've been using one of these '10 Million Dollar' sticks on my mitre saw for a while now. Picked it up from Peter Sefton's store a while back when he started stocking them (and no, I'm not affiliated with the store, just pushing a good...

To potentially add some more positive to this thread, there were actually some good points to take away from the original video in the first post, mainly aspects like; > Planning > Eye and ear protection > The reality of being able to use a phone if you need to > Availability of good bleed...

If the HSE are aware of guards being unnecessarily removed, irrespective of accidents occurring or not they will intervene and that includes the possibility of prosecution. Again, semantics will not dilute the overall legality of safety guards within a commercial environment. Imagine if this...

In the context of the HSE which is exactly what sometimewoodworker was referring to it is indeed an incident, it may be an incident of an accident but it is very definitely an incident. I'll forgo throwing the Webster definition of incident into the conversation as none of us are children and...

No problem, Veritas do a dowel former as well, basically a universal adaptor that you fit individual dowel hole sets to; https://www.classichandtools.com/acatalog/Veritas-Dowel-Formers-Metric-05J6420.html I haven't seen them on actual sale for a while though.

https://www.classichandtools.com/acatalog/Lie-Nielsen-Dowel-Plates-LN-DP.html Veritas do a range of dowel cutters as well, not a plate but the same result.
