I have a Triton thicknesser, and currently use my Titan shop vac (with a 50mm hose) connected for chip extraction. Obviously, it doesn't work well. Catches maybe 60%? So I was wondering if there would be a noticable difference in getting something like a DX1000? Is the extraction of a HVLP...

Don't be like Bill.

I guess thats one of the issues with japanese planes, is that when you adjust the blade (in or out), you also then have to re-adjust the cap iron. I've seen some people that will tap the cap iron once for each time they tap the blade to try and keep them in sync. But as we're talking about such...

If you're feeling at all unwell, best to stick to the hand tools. A lapse of concentration (more likely when you're not quite with it) could result in a serious injury. Not something you want at this point in time.

Cool. I shall have a play with setting the cap iron closer as I have terrible trouble with the reverse grain around knots. I tend to use Japanese planes (for reasons) and setting the cap iron is more tricky as you can't really see what you're doing, but I'm sure it just takes practise.

That's really quite impressive DW. I wouldn't even attempt that. I would also say that wood looks really nice! much more interesting than boring straight grained stuff people seem to like to use. Out of interest, what difference would you say the mouth opening makes? or rather how important it...

I think it's quite easy to exercise in the house, even if you don't have any exercise equipment. You just have to be imaginative. Although I for one have always found exercise indoors/gyms much harder (mentally) than going outdoors. I would much rather go for a jog, than use a treadmill for...

I saw something about British holidaymakers in other countries not obeying the rules put in place of staying at home, but instead, still out getting drunk .... "because it's just the flu" ..embarassing. Hope they fine the *********

I went in the evening yesterday, and was surprised to see just how bad it is. Nothing but junk food really. The bakery section was completely empty other than some Welsh Cakes. What's wrong with Welsh Cakes? :? I would have expected that they would restock after closing ready for the...

Try a pint of cow urine mixed with 37 garlic gloves, blended.

So we jumped from sensitive information (which is what I replied to) straight to classified information?

I work for a Games Studio, we'll soon be working from home over a "domestic internet connection". It can be done provided you have suitable security in place. :?: :roll: :roll:

You might want to look at the typical barrel type extractors (Record Dx1000 etc), or the more expensive CamVac models. Both of which have optional adaptors from 100mm to 32mm. Emptying is still a pain though. The CamVac comes with a fabric filter that wraps around the top of the drum and gets...

Big difference between someone trying to fleece you and someone not being very active with communications. I've had plenty of people that take a few days to respond but are actually very nice and helpful. Again - if it's something you know people are going to snap up, you either take a risk...

I've recently been making some kitchen utensils (kitchen roll holder, pepper mills, handles for things etc) that I wanted to have a really hard wearing finish, so I went with : - Sanding 120, 180, 240, 320 - Cellulose sealer - Melamine Lacquer and whilst I am generally happy with the finish...

Sure - but if it's something quite specific that doesn't come along very often you have to be quick.

Completely agree about asking questions, but some sellers can take days to respond (if at all) and you might lose it.

Interesting, I always thought that dust extraction was required for a PT for not only the obvious mess, but also to prevent chippings getting stamped into the material from the rollers. Not something I have noticed with hardwoods, but I have certainly seen little dents in softwood, and...

I wish I had one. I have not had very much luck in buying prepared timber. Even if I could find a source of well prepared stock, I'd still most likely be cutting to size anyway. So far I am getting by with just a thicknesser, but all the workarounds for getting a flat and square edge are a bit...

Workshop heaven sells a small range I might take Marcos advice and treat myself to one nice bit.
