...how is your search going?....I am now erring towards the Sheppach but would like to see one "in the flesh" before I part with the reddies! ..Like the look of "Jet", but can't find a dealer anywhere near me...

...it wouldn't be so bad if Record charged a reasonable price for their "made in China" cheese, alternatively happy to pay more for better quality...and I agree that some Chinese stuff is fine, its just so variable as they obviously have no quality control, so you may "get lucky" and get one...

...I have started looking again. 3 years ago I got a basic "Aldi" 8inch bandsaw that has been really good for the odds and sods I needed to do at the time, (fitted a Tuffsaws blade and it really does punch above it's weight). However I have started looking for something larger, (ideally 12...

..onduline?...relatively cheap and very easy to put on...and last for ages!

....b£gger.....all sold out... :( ....

When I was looking I was a little put off by the actual working area of the disc, (as per above, VERY small), so I ended up getting a Record 300mm disc, and for me this was the right choice. Although due to a recent Record quality issue on another piece of kit I am not sure I would recommend...

..I ended up with a Metabo after a long time looking. A good quality / cost compromise...very happy with mine, no regrets so far!

..I recently purchased the smaller record wet grinder after returning the Aldi version due to really poor quality. I got the record one as I was happy to spend more money for better quality. However after 30 mins it packed up. I took the cover of the bottom to find a really cheap motor with a...

..I always thought Record was a "better quality"m but I recently got their wet stone disc grinder which packed up after 30 mins due to the motor falling apart. (Returned for refund). Really disappointed as in general I did like Record stuff and was about to buy a bigger bandsaw. But after this...

..I was going to get the cheaper belt / disc sander combination but I ended up getting a record 300mm Disc only sander. I think this was the better choice as the actual working area of the disc is far more practical. (ie a 300 mm disc gives a far larger working area than a 150mm disc). I looked...

..my main problem is getting ride of any "heavy" damage first. I have an old grinding wheel but find it difficult to get the initial (25 deg) angle prior to starting the honing process?

..interesting, had a look at the reviews for the Jet system, and almost 20% split in each category on Amazon? (ie 20% for all 5,4,3,2,1 ratings...very odd mix?!)

Hi all, After my recent problems with both Ferrex and Record 8" wetstone grinders just wondering if you could people could recommend a suitable alternative? (Understand I will have to pay more if I am to get reasonable quality)... As already suggested I have got myself a new oil stone and some...

Hi and thanks for the advice...I have got myself some cheap diamond plates (£12)....I already have a honing guide. I will give it a go!!

..OK so I got the Record 8inch wetstone grinder, it arrived a couple of days ago,it worked for about 30 mins then stopped!...very disappointed as generally I like record stuff, and was just about to get a new bandsaw off them. I guess it's the usual lack of quality control in China. Not sure...

..looks very similar to the Aldi bandsaw, but this one has a better table, (Aldi is pressed steel). I have the Aldi one and I am always singing its praises, (for what it is, and cost about £70), and I did fit a Tufsaws blade. Probably no good for "major" work, but has done me well for the odd...

I decided to return it today. Very disappointed with the quality. If it had been £50 or less I may have kept it as I am sure it is capable of "doing a job" with a bit of a fettle. I note that the Scheppach unit (which appears to be basically the same) does seem to have some slightly higher...

Hi all, took the plunge and ordered the above which arrived today. I have been a fan of Aldi DIY stuff, OK I accept the quality is not top notch but you get what you pay for. Their small bandsaw has been great and punched above its weight. I also had the track saw which has been good, but the...

Reviews for this on Amazon do not loom that promising... :( ...but at least it's cheap...but I guess you get what you pay for...I would love to find something "reasonable" to sharpen chisels...can't even find a good "stone"!

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07 ... UTF8&psc=1 Lamptti Mortise Gauge...Have been looking for a "better quality" Mortise gauge to replace a cheapie I got a few years ago. Really wanted something with a "fine" adjustment, so treated myself to one of these of Amazon. Arrived today, (came...
