    Lie Neilsen 97 1/2

    I've got one too, bought it to clean glue lines along 8ft+ plus glue-ups. Takes some faffing about and needs to be especially sharp and kept sharp. It has it's uses and sometimes it comes in handy but not my best purchase (I didn't pay full whack for it mind, got it quite cheap through Dictum).

    Handed-ness of doors

    We have a fairly old factory (150+) that we are perpetually converting into a home . When my father in law turned up at an early stage the first thing he noted was the doors were hung the wrong way around. Other than the bathrooms he had no substantive answer to back this up, it was just wrong...

    Iroko strip double-glazed front door

    What he said ^. I'm an ex-electronics engineer myself and keep putting off a nixie build. Never heard of the FLW version - I think I now need one in my life.

    Exactly my point, he would no longer have a legal right to use their personal commercial data. Again, we don't know that hence my concern over advice without this knowledge. Ceasing operations and ceasing trading are different terms and we don't know their current situation, let alone who they...

    You can't assume anything which is what I'm trying to convey here. Other than Christopher no one here knows any quantifiable facts of the situation, yet people are queuing up to 'hazard a guess' or 'assume' it's all good to use commercially sensitive and confidential data to contact a client...

    I'm not talking about publicly available random names and addresses of clients, I'm talking about a portfolio as built up and stored by a business entity. The actual business aspect of acquiring a client list aside, the information (including commercially sensitive data) is obtained via DPA and...

    Drill Press Table

    Yup.... hence why I didn't replace mine with another Axi version. I was able to salvage the aluminium hardware to make another so it wasn't a total loss but the long term quality was an issue for me.

    I'm also not a lawyer but I wouldn't hazard a guess regarding commercial theft either. All I'm saying is we don't know the status of the company and advising that it's all good to take commercial in-confidence data from an ex employer is maybe not good advice on a public forum. Personally I...

    I appreciate that as a lawyer you will know what you are talking about AJB Temple however none of us know the reality of the current status of the company in question. Shutting down may reflect the operations, not necessarily the legal entity. Aside from the scant comments regarding the company...

    Be very careful advising this approach to anyone. Contacting clients from a current or previous employers client list is a form of theft and has very real potential for legal action. I'd take GDPR into account as well; sharing and accessing private data in those circumstances is also open to...

    Dewalt 625 or Trend T10

    To be fair I've heard of bearing woes for both machines. I know they used to use different bearings as at one point it was these and the guide bush that separated them. One thing to note is the motor fan, I believe they both push air down which in a table will be moving air up (although I'm...

    Hand Planing Elm

    My last batch came from there and I was surprised they were selling it as well. They have started updating their FB page a lot recently, worth keeping an eye on them.

    It's all good, it's a forum not a fan page. It helps to have opposing views, be that marketing the work or making it. I know a lot of people here are purely interested in the woodwork aspect and little else but the real world reality of translating that into paying the bills depends on an...

    Hand Planing Elm

    It's lovely wood but I'd leave it longer than two months personally. I've used a fair bit of Elm and it it loves to twist as it adjust to its surroundings in my experience. This may be just a function of my shop environment (climate controlled) so would appreciate any other opinion on this...

    Drill Press Table

    You probably wouldn't but if you were going to drill lots of holes at set distances from the fence and / or use a stop this makes it very efficient and accurate without the need to do any marking out. The fence and stop (on good tables) are scaled so it's easy to set the XYZ coordinates...

    Peachtree do ship to the UK, says so on their website. That said, I'd be hesitant shipping a laminated top of that size through the US postal system shipped to the UK. Probably be fine but if there is any damage it wouldn't be worth the while to return it. Besides after cost plus shipping and...

    Drill Press Table

    If it's double the cost of something that isn't available then that's kind of a moot comparison then isn't it? I'm confused, what is the cost tipping point for you where it makes more sense to buy it if you can't actually buy it?
