I'll trade you one of my woodturned boxes? They're made from Bog Oak. Well, I say bog oak, I mean normal Oak. Possibly Sweet Chestnut.

Of course he has no riving knife as he was TRYING to induce a kick back. I already said it was a different kind of push block. If you're using a gripper close enough to the blade that you can't use a guard, then you still have the opportunity for something unexpected to happen and you hand to be...

Which is why I think this type of push stick is so bad. Yet it's very popular. Accident waiting to happen. Especially when they haven't lowered the blade to only allow for minimal exposure.

I think the Gripper is better than nothing, but the main problem I see is that you're still reaching over the blade with your arm. What if you were to stumble? or slip? ... basically, if things go wrong, you're right in the firing line. Hopefully the gripper takes most of the damage, but as can...

Came across one of these in a youtube video : They look really useful! .. can't seem to find any that are avaliable and reasonably priced though? .. or are they just generally really expensive? given a transfer set can be had for around £30?

It's funny how this thread has loads of replies, yet the question/help threads get very little response.

It amazes me that people can use the Rutlands website and not clearly see how fishy they are. Does everyone seem to miss the fact that 95% of products have a 5 star review???

I'm aware of ther dowel trick for doing the sides, but how do you do the bottom?

As with most rebranding, it's made to a price point. So although it looks the same, doesn't mean they haven't specified corners to be cut to save pennys. It's like with rebranded machines. People often claim its the same product from the same factory, so get it for the cheapest price you can...

Based on what? they've always offered a range of quality, from Jessem to their own branded stuff.

How would this improve their reputation? ...from what you've mentioned, it's just marketing/research, which is what they would always have been doing? They're a shady company, end of, as far as I am concerned.

Yep wood turned boxes from a solid piece of wood. I guess the Bedan is pretty similar to the parting tool? just without the negative rake? so easier to get a catch?

Just wondering what techniques people use for shaping the internal sides of their boxes? and also how you flatten the internal bottom? I currently use a spindle gouge to fine tune the internal sides, and then a 3/8" parting tool as a negative rake scraper for the bottom. Although I haven't...

Ah! :) Physics!

Just recieved the 2 motor version, and WOW, this thing has some suck! With just one motor it's good, but when you enable the second motor, it feels like the suction has trippled, not doubled. I was testing it and accidently sucked up my apron. Glad no one saw that! I hope the suction remains...

Both my chucks are MT2-B16 I can't seem to find a suitable threaded arbor :(

It's so much more efficient to have them in some kind of stand. a) You can pick out the one you want straight away (not so easy when they're in increments of 0.5mm) b) You know when one is already out or missing I'm not a fan of the idea of having 20 of each size in a box. Like with pencils...

You mixed your masonary bits in with your woodworking bits? ewww that's dirty!

I'm still trying to find some reasonably priced lip and spur bits that actually have a central point. Most of them are ground pretty rougly which makes them almost useless for trying to center on a hole made from an awl.

I think thats a crazy amount of money to spend on a set of drill bits. I'm sure they're lovely to use, but for me, they would fall into the category of never being used as they need to be saved for "special projects".
