Just a reminder of how NOT to use a planer/thicknesser [Warning very gory photos and an odd sweary term] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDeZaPhmY8Y Some people will get annoyed by me posting this, but I personally think showing these kinds of accidents is a good reminder of just how easily...

I wouldn't make any modifications on a new machine. You might find an issue a few months down the road and they probably then won't accept it as a return. I know it's super annoying, but the best option is to just get it replaced. As Axminster do their own deliveries, it can probably be...

:D

The bench dogs I am talking about are the ones designed for an MFT type top (not the handtool spring mounted type) Most bench dogs like the Parf dogs have the collar milled in place. So the amount protuding above the table cannot be adjusted. You push it into the 20mm hole until the (milled...

Cheers!

Perfect! ... Will need to think of a few more things to may the PP worth while (£6) Not really what I am after (https://benchdogs.co.uk/products/b-collar) 20mm, most dogs are milled at 19.98mm I believe.

I think their chat screens are excellent. So much better than 90% of all the othe places that take 2-3 days to respond back to an email. I really can't complain. I always try to avoid the 'Non Amazon' sellers though (selling on the Amazon platform) as they can be more difficult to deal with...

Same here. Brilliant service. Brilliant returns options.

Does anyone know of a cheaper source for these? or perhaps something else that will do the job? I can't justify £16 on two little metal rings :(

haha! I wasn't not stropping out of lazyness! ... just wasn't sure if I should do it

Do you keep a specific plane for your shooting board? One that you perhaps keep sharper than you would a smoothing plane? I'm finding that I don't seem to get the (effortless) curly shavings I see other people get. I never seem to get a full end grain shaving (redwood pine), it's fluffly bits...

I don't think one is better than the other, they both do a good job in my opinion and serve different audiences. I am a member of forums and a few facebook groups and I enjoy using them both. Forums are good when using a desktop as the posts are usually longer and the extra real estate makes...

but but ... they* always tell us its ok to glue MDF in place as it doesn't move! :O *youtube folk

Worked well! thanks

It bothers me when I am on a near empty road, plenty of room behind me, plenty of room in front of me, yet someone joining from a slip road proceeds to join at the exact same speed as me. Forcing me to either slow down, speed up or change lane! :roll:

I've just made a bench that only has a 40mm thick top and have ordered a pair of these as they state 1 to 4 inches (25mm to 100mm). Which is quite a range, and I hope is not a typo. ... we'll see how they do! https://www.workshopheaven.com/simon-ja ... auger.html

I did try to hammer it lightly, but it wasn't making any difference, so I stopped as I was worried it would crack. This part is a softer metal, right? so I can maybe try hitting it a bit harder?

I purchased a japanese plane the other day, and as per many of the tutorials I followed online, I flattened the chip breaker such that it does not rock, and forms good contact with the back of the blade (no gap). Before I performed this operation, the chip breaker and the blade fitted snuggly...

I think it entirely depends on the situation. The situation you describe (outside a school) the cars should be driving relatively slowly anyway, so slowing down a tad more to let someone out should be no big deal. The fact that the person behind almost bumped into them shows that they clearly...

A lot of negativity towards the sawing guides :) So is a shooting board outrageous too? I mean it's not going to improve your sawing skills, so you may as well just use a mitre saw ... :roll: :roll:
