I have a cordless Makita impact drill, they are great but not as powerful as this corded drill though. The drill is not fixed and works fine, I just added a little candle wax to the bit before drilling. It cuts the wood with no issue now

I think I’ll go ahead and get a new motor for it from here Makita HP1631 13mm Percussion Drill Spare Parts - Part Shop Direct I was thinking Of replacing the chuck too as it has a little play but it’s not too bad at the moment, I can live with it.

Hey Andy The plane is stored on a plywood cabinet (it has only shellac and wax finish on it) and I really don't have much dust in my workshop as I mainly use handtools. I just finished painting the workshop with some damp resistant paint thanks to the global pandemic.

I have a 10X loupe and I just looked at it again, (i'm going to upload a picture of it in a bit) and it's definitely rust. I think it's called the Pitting Corrosion and yes it really does look like worms, maybe rustworm :lol:

Hi everyone I just spotted some sort of rust on my No7 jointer plane. It looks a bit weird and I hope it's nothing serious. It looks like snow flakes I need your advise, should i be worried? Do you recommend getting the flexible silicone abrasive blocks (Klingspor SandFlex) to remove the rust...
