Thanks Jacob.

one other thing, what's the difference between the Narex cabinetmakers chisels and their bevel edge chisels?

what grades do i need on a combi stone?

Quick update: i ended going a different route with the plane. My brother was coming over from the US so i got him to bring over a lovely veritas low angle plane and a concave palm plane. Both absolutely beautiful and at the much more attractive price available to those in the US. Still haven't...

Can you recommend any good makes of secondhand chisels? I see a lot of Sorby. At the moment I don't have any sharpening system so need to look into that as well......does it ever end? ;)

Thanks for all the advice guys. Slightly confused about Quangsheng on WH vs Qiangsheng on Rutlands. Are they the same brand? I guess not as the latter are cheaper on Rutlands.

Hello, Thought i'd take advantage of the 10% of at Rutlands and am after a bit of advice. I make guitars but also want to get into some more general woodwork. I really need some chisels (not sure what would be the best for guitars) and a block plane for delicate work/end grain planing and was...

but i need something to fit in a 63mm outlet; is the 40mm the outside diameter or the inside. If it's the inside, what's the outside diameter?

How will that convert a 2 1/2" outlet to a 1 1/2" hose? Good idea on the 40mm waste fitting, i'll look into that.

hello, I have the Fein QA35 hoover/extractor and want to connect it to my Jet bobbin sander which has a 2 1/2" outlet and my new Jessem router table which is 2 1/2" as well. I have seen the 1 1/2" to 2 1/2" adaptor at rutlands. I'd like to get some kind of y-connector so that I could have a...

Speaking as someone who couldn't be arsed to build a router table :lol: , the Jessem table at Rutlands is £250 and is excellent quality on the whole. The Kreg is, I'm sure, lovely but very expensive.

I had this happen to me on with a bobbin sander recently, the item was much older than stated. I went back to them on it and they knocked some money off. Remember that people really want to keep their feedback rating at 100%.

Thanks everyone, guess varnish is the way to go. Howie: you might be right about that roof :lol: and to be fair to Rutlands, they got the replacement out to me the next day. Unfortunately this one was also chipped, but only on the underside so I was prepared to live with it and they even gave...

I've just bought the Jessem Rout R table :D and wanted to seal the bare MDF edges where the insert drops in. Is a PVA 50/50 mix ok? There's no chance of the water content warping anything is there? Cheers Dave

Love it :)

The table arrived a day late, this morning. I opened the fence first and blimey, it looks like a serious piece of kit. First impressions are very good and I'm glad I went for this and not the Dakota. Next i opened the table top; I don't think i quite realised how big it would be! I'm very...

Thanks Howie, and all guitars are of interest to me! I ordered the table on Friday, should arrive tomorrow, can't wait! I'm definitely gonna box it in like in the link you posted. Am i right in thinking that the cabinet sits inside and isn't screwed or bolted to the frame? Just need to work...

Thanks Howie, I'll check that link out. At the moment I'm doing it with the router handheld balanced on a straight-edge, less than ideal. And the joint is a simple butt joint. I really like the look of those little shims on the Jessem fence that should make jointing easy hopefully. If you...

Thanks Howie, I really appreciate the time and effort! I'm pretty much decided on getting it now. It looks like a step up from the Dakota and not too far behind the Kreg but for a much better price. Have you used the split fence for jointing? I make guitars so that is something I'll be needing...

Can I ask you how thick the table is? Are you happy that it isn't going to bow or warp?
