I’ll take it thanks If I can find a way of sending PM 😳

I imagine that JIS are what your looking at as Gordon mentioned above. Vessel do some nice sets on Amazon.

I have both Ashley Iles and Narex BE chisels but only a single Ashley Iles Dovetail chisel. For me the Ashley Iles is a cut above the Narex in almost every way. Quality of edge is far better, easier and quicker to achieve on the Ashley Iles . Nothing wrong with the Narex but not as refined or as...

If the drill is still working don’t start taking it apart unnecessarily unless your certain it is faulty. There is grease in the chuck to start with and some manufacturers say that you should add a little bit of grease each time you insert a bit, I’ve only done that occasionally as the more...

I don’t doubt your word here Peter but it’s never been my experience with so called rounded bevels. Nor I would imagine has it been Paul Sellers experience either, who I suspect you refer to as “Jacob’s guru”. For the bevel to rub on the timber as you describe then surely the bevel would have to...

I’m at a loss here as to what an “influenced shaving” is. Surely the term influence in the title of the older video above is applied to the position of the cap iron to the iron and it is this that has an “influence” upon the timber being planed and producing a shaving of some type. Either close...

I have the Makita 30l model and it’s fine. But, I also have a Metabo ASR25 L SC which I think beats the Makita hands down. Its manufactured as an L class but the filters are M Class and extraction is very good . Its not as light and it is louder than the Makita but has more suction and feels...

I have the TSO rail square and have used it now for about two years. No issues with quality so far. Locks into my Festool rails easily enough and stays put. As for cutting square with 2400mm sheet goods, then yes. But cutting accurate parallel lengths is slightly different from repetitive...

"Phil Pascoe, post: 1512425, member: 13676"] A plasterer is only going to add to plaster that's already there, unless you're completely demolishing walls - it's going to be proud of the linings. A 7 1/4" circular saw. Get a board the thickness you need and rip some strips off. I've just done a...

Ray Iles does a series of 01 irons and they’re fairly good. https://www.oldtoolstore.co.uk/replacement-plane-irons-15-c.asp Classichandtools and Workshopheaven stock them too.

Agreed. As others have said: why use a cambered iron in the first place ? Swap out for a straight iron or regrind your existing iron straight and knock off the edges . Like others have also commented, it‘s all too easy to get carried away but getting a flat/square edge should be...

A nice example of a Record 050a being used both with and across the grain. Just for the pleasure of viewing it not for arguing a point about cross grain cutting 😄

It’s no big deal, I was just commenting on your first line of your post which said : “Finger joints are closer to long grain joints and it’s been pretty conclusively proved that that kind of joint…” I was just trying to point out that they are aren’t really closer to end grain joints at all as...

Yes it is very strong, but very little of the gluing surface is true end grain to end grain. Most of the glue surfaces on finger/comb joints are cross grain to cross grain which is why it’s so strong. Only the tips of the fingers are truly end grain to end grain.

Snooker cues spring to mind with Ramin, at least the cheaper ones. That’s good detective work Phil.

Yes not pitch pine Phil The two later photos are clearer but I’m non the wiser. I’m sure someone will get it eventually.

I’ll have a go. Pitch pine ?

Cheers for that. I’ve done all the usual post death router checks and changed the brushes out first thing but no resurrection sadly. Never thought of the speed controller to be honest. Like I mentioned earlier, I’ll get it checked out before giving it an honourable funeral but I’m hoping that...

Thank you gents for your input it’s much appreciated. I did think of getting it repaired Derek. I’ve still got it and I’ve had it repaired before but this time I haven’t a clue what’s wrong with it, it’s just dead as the proverbial Dodo. I know a guy who repairs them and I’m going to give him a...
