I am not qualified to offer advice. Nevertheless, I found that switching from a Type B to Type C MCB solved a very similar problem.

I have the exact same setup as Mike; very happy. I have a Wixey on my thicknesser, but not this - my logic is that absolute measurement changes with each bit change and the setup allows intrinsic height adjustment to 0.05mm. Also I find Wixey on thicknesser drifts by a few 0.1mm over time -...

Couple of thoughts. Vertical cuts way to go unless length of timer prohibits owing to space or safety. Uneven surface likely to be compensated for by glue - I've never had an issue with this in the past. I don't find tear out an issue when I use a 5mm CMT grooving blade, but tend use it for...

Not sure if one can extrapolate, but I have the Sabre 350. Very happy - only 2 issues. Dust extraction is very poor - had to create my own workaround for that. I only use 5/8 blade max - feel that saw cannot easily tension 3/4.

Would just like to echo Mike and Sploo. I have had the Record Power Sabre 350 for a few years and wasted too much money on trying to get 3/4 blades to tension correctly. I get perfect results with a 5/8 3tpi blade for resawing.

IMHO they are not good - I bought the Rutlands one a few years ago when it was on offer for £100 - I was curious. They are made of aluminium and are not at all sturdy - especially the fence. It's like a toy. Having said that if you don't have a hand plane or the budget for anything else then...

Already answered, but yes they work very well. Mine connected to an old Dyson - after a year of use the very small Dyson bin is less than 5% full!

That is a stunning mallet - just amazing. It would look even better in my workshop :)

I'm not sure it's possible to help without knowing how it is used. I have a table saw, band saw. mitre saw and track saw and use them all daily (except track - used infrequently). Each is better at something than another. Most of my work is small (<1m) and I wouldn't want to be without any of...

Hi Doug, thank you for the link - that's an inspirational post! Cheers Chris

Hi Doug, thank you for this post. I have the same plane and a Veritas shooting board, which I use with a shop-made donkeys ear for long end grain work. I've never been 100% happy with the results, but it does work. I've tried and failed to produce a 45 degree board like yours. Grateful if you...

It's a great film - really enjoyed it. Exclusive to Apple TV+ I understand. Watch it for free since there's a free trial - otherwise it's £6/month, which can be cancelled at any time (I think!). Worth £6 to watch this movie IMHO :)

I can only quote my own experience. I use a shopvac for hand held tools (domino, sander, router etc). I use a HPLV (55L 1100W - about £100) for thicknesser, jointer, table saw and router table. I have a 6m 100mm hose which I switch from machine to machine - it's a pain but takes a few seconds...

Hi Popey, I upgraded from the BS250 to the Sabre 350 a couple of years ago - no regrets! I've used it every day since - 95% for re-sawing and making veneers. I have 2 tips for you based on my experience. Don't use a blade wider than 5/8". I find it challenging to get sufficient tension (or...

A wonderful box to be proud of :-) As an aside, I use those hinges, but have never found that guide before - thank you. I'm not sure I like the guide's idea of the full width secondary clearance mortices. I tend to use another bit that matches the width of the 'sticky down bit' of the hinge...

Hi, Here's the link to KM store: https://www.katzmoseswoodworking.com/new-products Like Ollie, I use the sandpaper trick to make it far more useful. Chris

PVA glue is fine (say Titebond original)- reinforce with screws if you wish. 3.9 screws probably overkill. My best guess would be 3.0 x 25mm screws - pre-drilled of course and counter-sunk on the face piece. You could consider using pocket holes - 12mm is typically at the lower limit for...

I use a metric 20mm MFT (created using Parf MK 2 guide system) - I find the Veritas 3/4" bench dogs unusable in these holes. Hope that helps.

Hi, I’m responsible for the current top review on Amazon.co.uk for this machine (same user name). Wrote that in Feb 2018 and my assessment has not changed. You can’t go wrong with it as long as you appreciate its physical size limits. I have a tilt vice with its own platform for angled drilling...

As suggested, you would likely wish for the most powerful and 1/2 inch machine to be in the table. Theres's nothing to stop you from drilling additional holes if you change your mind. Properly drilled holes will not effect the functionality of the plate. Alternatively, buy a second plate - I...
