I have the 5 1/2 and jointer, both are beautiful to work with, had an issue with my jointer and they were very quick to remedy. What i will say though is I also have a Quanshang 5 1/2, had to spend a while longer honing the blade but at about 1/2 the price it is quite possibly as good, only...

Hi Bailey, My pleasure, and will do Sean.

Hi Bailey, top class attitude and just wish i could help you out but distance and trying not to work weekends doesn't help you. Might be worth contacting the guilds, ill attach web addresses for you https://www.guildmc.com/about-us/ found this on google, they may have a list of local companies -...

I was looking the other week and it was coming in at £280, didn’t press the button as I thought I would do some research first, but at that sort of price looks to be a good buy?

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works, but has anyone got/used the metabo Mirka deros lookalike at all ?

To be honest i am not sure on that, ours runs the full length and i dont have experience with it not being that way, may be worth a try. Also ours is level to a smidge under on the height. Have you seen DoctorBobs reply, he explains it better than me on pressure and lifting points

I have had this problem too, what has seemed to work for me is putting downward pressure on the board. I found that the biggest issue was with 8*4 sheets and cutting thin rips. The left hand bottom corner would sag under weight lifting the board slightly. Hope this helps Sean.

Hi Bill, i did click on the bottom one the 2017 version, MikeK has posted an interesting point that maybe i have the pro version for 30 days, then it'll revert to the make 17, hopefully it will and thanks for the link as i spent a good few hours trying to find it !

apologies 1st attempt at attaching an image wasn't successful ..!

Lovely box, well done sir. Not sure if its the correct way or not but in the past i have filled the small gaps by sanding a piece of the spline timber, little bit of similar coloured wax into tiny bits, very small amount of glue and boiling water, mixed it all up into a paste then filled the...

H hi Bill, did i mention that i am rather a technophobe, clicked on the link, downloaded but seems to be sketch up pro and a free 30 day trial, probably me being stupid but does that sound right to you ?

thanks billw, much appreciated

To be honest with you i can't even find how to download make 17 version, complete technophobe when it comes to this so been playing with SU free, continually change to mm but always reverts to inches, drives me mad!
