"Those who fail to comply with the new rules will face a fine of up to £100. This will be reduced to £50 if people pay within 14 days." Why do they put these pathetic fines in place? Like many other fines (e.g disabled parking bays), it's low enough that people will just risk it.

Made another plane. Quite boxy as Im still figuring out what shape I find most comfortable. Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk

So you're saying we shouldn't encourage people to wear masks as it makes them more complacent? :?:

Surely if they're going to make mask wearing compulsory, then there must be some system in place to provide people with suitable masks in the first place? Else you'll just get people wearing handkerchiefs, or week old painters masks etc which is entirely pointless. Or .... we'll be right back...

Just wondering if people use the normal roller to create a camber (small camber for smoothing planes) or if they use another means? like the additional camber roller? or maybe you default back to using the Eclipse style guides?

Peter Parfit (New Brit Workshop) has the NVD750 (hooked up to a cyclone), which is similar to the CGV336-4 CamVac, and according to him, it works just fine with his 310mm Jet Planer Thicknesser, when used with a spiral cutter block (creates smaller shavings that are easier to suck up). And lets...

This is one of those "youtube tricks" that I doubt anyone ever actually uses more than once. Trying to do it for a whole project where you need many boards planed would be tedious, and frustating. Not to mention it still doesn't give you a square edge. I can't imagine anyone actually does it...

Very nice. How did you cut thr mitres?

You could build a wooden awning for your doorbells :D

What I mean is, as is shown in your video, each time you adjust the track at one end, you pivot/rotate it, and the other end goes slightly out. you're chasing your tail so to speak. Where as if you had two guides, it would be more reliable as you can pull the track to butt it up against two...

out of interest, now perform the test again with different lengths of wood. You'll probably get varing results, as you've tuned the fence to the specifc scenario under which you're testing. Your fence probably has a little bow, and your work piece also a little bow, and it just so happens that...

I would argue that two parallel guides (where one is set from the other) is more accurate than using one that you keep moving back and forth (which just pivots the track) and takes several attempts to get right.

How much longer are these cuts than you speed square? You might have checked your speed square for squareness, but if the cut is 3 times the length of the speedsquare, then any potential error you missed when checking it for squareness is multiplied, and then accumilated over several cuts.

Heaven forbid wood working tools get a little dusty

Another common problem with sliding saws is that the further you extend the blade/handle along the rail, the less support it has, and any slight sidways pressure you apply can add very noticeable affects. It's very common, even on the very expensive saws. The only one I am aware of that gets...

Is it square? Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk

I see both an alien and a horse in that ash box grain :)

Not to deter the thread, but it also really depends on the size of cut. It should be pretty easy to get a 6" square accurate enough by eye, simply by trial and error. So long as you only use it for 6" or less. I really dont see how those new track saw 90 degree guides can work as well as...

you might want to look at how people are making dowel jigs. Same idea as has already been mentioned, a block of wood with bushings, but also includes a clamping aspect, which you need to get securely for accuracy

Yeah? I would have thought it would hold better than the ones you can buy for £10 or so. Assuming it still has a slight curve to one side. But no doubt it will still have milling issues. Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk
