Hi Triton, I have the 386-5. Regarding airflow i don’t think you can equate the airflow of HPLV to LPHV systems. I can tell you that I use the CamVac all day - I have a quick cuff system and and can easily switch it between my Sabre 350, Table Saw, Thicknesser, and separate Jointer/Surface...

Ok this happened to me - exactly the same issue. Even the bit about sometimes restarting after a period of time. I know this makes no sense, but I cut off the plug and replaced it. Never had another problem. Regardless of logic maybe worth a go. Good luck.

Sabre 350 here. A bearing failed after a few months. RP replaced it without issue. Really rate their customer service. That was a couple of years ago. No issues since. 5 Year Guarantee on all their kit I think.

The bench is 1600 x 800mm. The MDF sits on a frame of the same size with 3 cross batons. I regret that design because the batons interfere with the orientation of the hold down clamps I use frequently with the MFT holes. When I change the top I’m going to remove the batons and replace with a...

I’ve been using 18mm MDF for my bench top for many years. It’s flat and stable and absolutely perfect. Simply finished with Rustins MDF sealer. It’s MFT'd with the Parf Guide System. I tend to replace it every 2 or 3 years or so when glue spills and general damage dictates. Always used cheap...

I now use the HONGDUI Chamfer Plane (previously Veritas LA Block) - outstanding bit of kit. Whole thing on offer at the moment and doesn't cost much more than a blade from some places :) Link if you're interested. Chris

Hi Smiley, I have the 254 version and I was interested in what mine were. Firstly, I noted Gog's comment about an adjustable guage. I use an Incra 1000HD, but noted that the minimum slot width is 0.74inch, but that is 18.8mm. That is such a far cry from yours is that I would consider this a...

FWIW I've used Osmo Polyx for table tops and cabinet tops for years and have never had an issue - despite sustained family abuse - without issue. I understand that The Polyx version has a higher density of solids which makes it more durable. It is also suitable for floors! May be the use of the...

Yesterday and this morning (Monday) tried using the discount on the Rail Square (Festool) and the checkout said that that the discount did not apply To that item. Used 3 different devices to ensure this was not a browser glitc. Disappointed😔

A quick note for those that are unfamiliar with Wood Workers Workshop. I have placed many orders with them over the past few years - Woodpeckers, Incra, Veritas, Woodriver and AUK stuff. Pre-pandemic, I even visited the shop in person by prior arrangement and that was a great experience...

I have many square squares incl ones from M&R, Bridge City and Woodpeckers. I also have 2 square combination squares - a Starrett and a 6 inch Empire. The latter was very reasonably priced, but I may have been lucky.

many thanks - only £29.99 direct from website - just ordered a pair. Chris

The quoted figure refers to LPHV system - the HA1000 is a HPLV system and you can't really compare them directly using airflow volume. To answer your (OP) question: yes, the HA1000 is fine. How do I know? I use the HA1000 with my AC254TS and my Sabre350, Laguna Drum Sander, DW Thicknesser and...

Happy to help too - Chippenham. If you are going to fill with resin it could be a lot shallower. I’d aim for less than a mm. cheers Chris

Hi, I have the Veritas Router Plane and have used it infrequently for 3 years or so and always get the results I expect. I have never measured the base for flatness, but if I did and got the same results as you I would be delighted. I cannot imagine how the figures you are talking about could...

Never heard of this stuff - have just ordered some - thanks. I have tiny rust stains on my bandsaw bed. I also have tiny spots on my veritas shoulder plane. Anyone see why I should not use this on hand planes. Thanks Chris.

You have good reason to be excited, it is an excellent machine. Just one bit of advice coming from personal experience. Do not use a blade wider than 5/8” regardless of the blade’s construction or marketing - I’ve wasted all forms of 3/4” blade unsuccessfully trying to get tension correct. No...

@Phil Pascoe is spot on. The tolerance you mention is very easily compensated for. The key is to measure the result (the piece) not the tool system. Compensation can be achieved in many ways - blade lateral adjustment, blade grind (not that I would do that), adjusting the track (where the...

First of all I liked Budweiser when I drank beer but that was a long time ago 😀 I discovered the solution to this problem only a couple of years ago. I didn’t get the idea from anywhere else but stumbled upon it by accident; so perhaps not well known. The solution is automotive silicone straight...

Hi REN, in answer to your question, I use Graphic for Ipad for virtually every project that requires CAD. It’s a lot easier to use with an Apple Pencil. There is a Mac version too and I sometimes switch between the two. Graphic is 2D only, but that’s never got in the way for me. I’ve tried...
