Wowsers, that's quite a find Pete ! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

That's an amazing explanation, thank you Eric. I've got one location I'd like to see the clock so it kind of rules out putting it on any other wall. I'd like to see it between the two windows (the red blob) I'll take on board your suggestion about using a d battery- I never twigged that a...

You should be well setup then ;) get the newer one, you know it makes sense ! Hopefully this one will last 10 years. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

It's kind of neither I think Axminster sold it as a fine dust extractor. I've kept the 4 inch hose right to the saw. Emptied around 6 inches of dust from it this morning so it must be doing something. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I've got a clock that I use to have in an awkward place in the workshop. I'm scared of heights so never liked changing the time or replacing the battery. I tried a radio signal movement thinking that would alter the time when necessary but the workshops like a Faraday cage and couldn't get a...

The extraction looks much better thought out then this one. On this one some of the dust goes airborne but is sucked up reasonably quick by an extractor I mounted on the bottom of the cupboard. Luckily this stays in the workshop. I might try and find an exploded diagram of the ls1219 to see how...

I really should do a review of this one- only had it a couple weeks. It's the ls1216 and replaces a 13 year old makita chopsaw. In short it's amazing. Should have bought a new one years ago. Smooth sliding rails and angle adjustment. Extraction is like the previous saw,not very good but I think...

Very carefully just pull the part back that pushes against the wood. If you can here the fan start up when you do this, it might just be the part the pushes against the wood needs moving further forward. An Allen screw on the top adjusts it...I think Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

This was my effort. I screw a countersunk magnet to the workpiece (a magnet only because it was nice and round and had a countersunk hole) then locate it over the hole near my thumb. The jig just screws onto the bottom of the router. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

It is quite big I suppose ;) This was the one I originally saved when I thought of this thread. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I can't fault the blade supplied with the makita. Cuts through 4 inch oak with ease and leaves a glass like smooth finish. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

This looks like a nice Christmas decoration. Perhaps you could add their names on it. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

That's the way I've always placed an order. Send them a list of what you need and they'll send a price through of the total cost. Say for instance I need a lot of 4 inch wide boards, they may only have 7 inch boards so their price might be a tad more as they're allowing it from wider planks...

Very smart, very smart indeedy !! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I always ask for a lump sum price after sending a detailed cutting list, but I tend to get 3 or 4 different people to quote. Sometimes I go with the cheapest, other times I go with the quickest delivery or perhaps with someone who can supply boards that don't need joining. If possible try and...

The makita he demonstrated had a cutter fitted. The katsu had nothing other than a wobbly collet spinning at 13000 rpm. I thought that may have made it a bit noisier compared to the makita ;) Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Now you mention it that did give me the giggles [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND TIGHTLY-CLOSED EYES] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

That's a really well made video, thanks for posting. Was the nut and collet tight on the katsu? If it was loose perhaps that may have added to the noise difference a bit ? I'm pleased with the katsu so far. If it lasts 3 years then that's as good as makitas warranty so perhaps I'd just buy...

Could you possibly get a few mm skimmed off the table ? Lol. Put spacers underneath if necessary, just not best practice to have it high if you've enough adjustment to have it lower. I think you need a spindle moulding refresher course again tbh. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Happy to help Pollys13 ;) Must admit Jacob that took me years to get my head around. I always use to think the smaller the extractor hose the more suction. I also use to think the smaller the gaps the greater the suction. It's all about airflow though. Get as much air moving as possible to...
