Here is the copy of it. I have to disclose it publicly. Look forward to seeing you Regards Saeid Hi John I am sorry to have missed your reply. I am not sure why this message was not highlighted or how I missed it. I have not confirmed the booking yet but will send you text once it...

Lucky you. I had two faulty ones. One is rattling.

It is beech wood. It was off cut from my bench top timbers.

On this topic I would like to know if you prefer workshop made wooden winding sticks or aluminium ones? I made a pair last summer. As a Jobby woodworker I don’t get chance to get to the garage everyday. Today I found out my winding sticks have gone wonky. They were oiled and finished so I...

Thank you for the advice. The bushing will is to be used in a home made jig. Although the jig can be used without a bushing as you have described.

Hi there Thank you for your reply. Here are couple of photos from the vice attached to bench top. It seems nice and square. And photo of the apron. It is obvious that the small bend in the screws which is due to poor workmanship of the machinist is causing problems as soon as the standoffs...

After few weeks of lazy weekends I spent the day in my garage. The task was to assemble my Workbench finally. The only part I was not expecting a massive problem turned to be the most disappointing job. I have a chain driven Vice home made I had some amazing help from a friend. We were aware...

I have read the thread. I thought the bushing and hand made jig would be the preferred option but couldn’t find it in the UK.

I only have a battery powered drill. The Axminster drill guide does not fit those. The bushing is only £7-8. Little price to pay to save the bench top.

I came across this 19mm ID steel bushing apparently for drilling dog holes on workbench. I can’t find it in any UK based shop or website. It is on fine tool and Lee Valley Tools. Has anybody seen , used or even better have one?

Thank you for correcting me. I re state it. They’re are unlimited wrong cuts but only one square possible.

There is mathematically only one line perpendicular to the point on the edge for cutting. Therefore there are 179 wrong cutting lines. Most likely is I got one of those.

Agreed. But with a out of line marking I would definitely cut off the square.

I bought mine from Amazon. Free delivery next day. Starrett K53M-200-S Try Square https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00RD59JIO/ ... OCb6A85CT9 I hope the link works here.

I could not resist the offer of exchanging the Axminster square to BridgeCity. The aim was to get a replacement square from Axminster.

Thank you for all the replies. I have learned a good deal from all of them. I now have bought two Starrett ( made in China) they passed the straight edge test. I also made it to Axminster and returned the square. I teated few more squares of Axminster precision squares and they were all...

So after Bredit the squares might not be square anymore !!! :shock: 8)

Thank you all for the replies. What I am still trying to understand is what tolerance would you accept? It has been mentioned several times that although it is not acceptable for engineering job but acceptable for woodworking. What is the critical point when you would say the square is not...

Another attempt to add photos. There is a slight difference in reading of callipers which is self explanatory from photos.

The measurement at the end of stock is 30.19 mm and at the blade end it is 30.30 mm. And it lets light through when offered a straight edge.
