ah i see, as long as its nothing i need to complain about its ok :), the table doesnt move when its locked in place

it is indeed backlash, i just didnt expect sooo much of it :/

So using the thicknesser today, I found that once i brought it up to where i wanted it and locked it out, theres about half a turn of play in the wheel (handle), is that normal?

you could try Axminster? they are also out of stock but they are pretty good and getting stuff back in and it's free delivery. their craft model is identical to the ac400 and its pretty good, clears up my garage pretty quickly.

I have the GTS10XC which is pretty good, similar to the GTS10J...kinda

Been to yandles a few times and dont think at any time i escaped without my bank being lighter, luckily for me they don't carry the range of my old local (Axminster) or i would really be in trouble :) what i did find a few days ago there was some very nice BE Maple which i snapped up! was...

I see, I dont have that issue, its staying square front to back. 🤔

can i ask where in Bristol? im fairly new to the area and looking for decent timber yards

I'd like to do my own thing, but couldn't afford to leave my miserable office job and pay the bills, so for the foreseeable future it will remain a hobby. my hope is that as the big bills fall, if can make a it of pocket money that would good, but ill see what comes of it. i'm thinking of just...

I plan to make a base for my mft ala mr millard as the frame is all a bit wibbly wobbly. I have the original parf guide system but i don't use it for making MFT tops (far too lazy), I do use it on MDF bases for things like a leigh jig or pocket hole jig, that way i just drop them into place and...

im soo late to this and assume you have already made a purchase, just to chime in, the rotex can also be used for buffing out with the polishing pad in rotex mode. its a wee beast to handle if you get the 150 in geared mode. if doing smaller stuff, the RO90 is also very good.

get it square, tighten all 6 hex heads then remove one at a time, dab of loctite and put them back, it wont be going out of square again :) bought a lovely wide piece of birdseye maple today and can't wait to see how it's handled by the PT, unfortunately it spent a couple of hours on the car...

just to chime in, mine came Monday, and I have had no issues whatsoever. Delivery was £60 from Axminster and I ordered it on the 24th, it was delivered on the 28th by a very helpful chap. Setup did not take nearly as long as the woodgrafter guy and once i got the fence square i put a dab of...

May I ask what extractor you use for it?

i went for one of axminsters heavy duty mobile bases just because it will also come monday and i can get the thing unloaded. tomorrows job is removing the stud wall i put in front of the garage door so i can open it :)

had a call this morning, planer arrives monday :oops:

Its had very little use as a weekend warrior. £200 collection only from Corsham,Wiltshire Selling to make room for a bigger machine, blades still on first side (they are reversible AFAIK) and cut cleanly.

Axminster got them in yesterday, delivered is 10-14 days. I had a chat with the guy before ordering.

I was looking at the itech, 3-4 months delivery from scosarg. from everything I have looked into seems that they are much of a muchness

oooohhh im kinda wondering if i made the right decision or just swallowed the extra and went for the minimax..although the spiral head on that was yet another 500 🤔
