Hi everyone, I’ve noticed there is some mould growth in the near corner of the garage and some spots of mould on the new plywood top that was added only three months ago. Insulation is limited with nothing on the walls and it was been a very wet and windy set of months. How can I combat this?

They are re-releasing the ujk dovetail jig soon I think. I did speak to customer service about it.

I have two as well - Numatic vacuum style and a Axminster chip extractor 2HP with a 1 micron filter. Numatic goes with the sander and is a shop vac too. The Axminster chip extractor is good in ducting and does a good job on the bandsaw and lathe. I would suggest something like that and...

Hey, I’m in the process of planning and positioning machinery. I would say with the size you’re thinking maybe look at Matt Estlea’s workshop tour. It will hopefully give you an idea of a layout that incorporates ducting too. The other thing I looked at was the Wood-whisperers 12 tips on...

Hi, I know it’s a long shot, but does anyone have the Cast iron Ujk compact table top? I have the leg system for it and would like the other parts? I’m based in Kent but would be looking for a potential delivery if at all possible. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

To be fair I have looked at these 3 and they do seem all suitable for the space I have. I would like to see some of these in action especially the Axminster and the iTech. As a newbie it can be quite daunting, but I really want to have wood that is planed and square. Especially as I want to use...

Happy new year everyone! Has anyone brought the AC153E and Would recommend it? I’m wanting to start a duct based system in a garage.

That’s really good to know, I’m going to keep an eye out. I’ve found a delivery quote so will go from there. Just need to get that power supply sorted!

Thanks for all the responses, I guess I’m going to need to sort out the power supply first. I have no experience with purchasing/looking at older British made machines, it’s a little new to me. I might need to see them in action to get a good idea, other thing is size and transporting the...

Thanks for the reply. I’ve looked at the websites and they seem really good, there are some stock available but with delivery. I will need to upgrade the power supply to 16A. When you said mistakes, what were they and what did you learn as a result of it?

Budgets wise I’m thinking £900-£1400 I’m thinking new but would go for second hand if it was local. I would like it to be a floor standing but on a heavy duty mobile base.

Hope everyone is having a lovely holiday. I’m on the lookout for a planer thicknesser and would really appreciate any recommendations or advice on what to look for? Space wise I have a single garage 3.5m x 5m.

Hi everyone, just a general enquiry. I’m a fairly newish woodworker but very keen and have been working with a variety of different materials. I have managed to get some machines so far from my local Axminster. What planer thicknesser would you suggest I get? I’m interested in the Axminster...

Thanks everyone for the help, hammer setting and the Bosch drill bits worked a treat. I think there was a fair bit of metal in the slabs but I missed a lot of them. I appreciate all the help hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and a happy new year.

Thank you, I’ll have a look at them!

What other suppliers would you suggest that you think are similar?

I think it was really unfair that the prices went up as much as they did this time. Just means we have to be more creative with what we have got. I like their products but 10/15% price increases are just not fair. Now they also charge £60 for their heavy goods delivery. I get that there is a...

Thanks, I’ll put the hammer mode on this time. I might need to get something that can detect if there’s steel in the slabs. Ive messaged you separately about my location but thank you. I appreciate your support.

Hi, New drill bit wore out really quick! Managed to essentially double the hole to 1.7mm depth before the blue from the Bosch drill bit tip wore off. Going to try the other drill bit with the hammer setting this time. If not then it’s time to go for SDS.

Hi, There are no bolts on the parts I’m trying to drill. Here’s the view outside the garage. The bits I’m trying to drill are in inbetween the concrete “posts” so to speak. hope that makes sense?
