No matter what i do i always end up with a slightly concave joint and i can see the gap appear against the fence when i'm about halfway through. I'm using the Jessem Rout-R-Fence with the supplied aluminium shims on the outfeed, the Jessem stock guides and feather boards on the outfeed. Is that...

Glad to help! Somebody was kind enough to do the same when I was deciding. I was originally looking at a bigger machine which definitely would not have fit!

Thanks everyone. Can i ask, for those, that have a planer like this with aluminium tables, do they stay flat enough? I watched a Record PT260 review where he stated that the aluminium tables had warped and would do at temperatures of 38℃ and had to be frequently adjusted. That concerned me. If...

Thanks Brian, that's good to hear from someone who's used superior kit. Does the fence set accurately to 90deg for joints that are ready to glue up? Do you find it fiddly to do the changeover? What made you choose this over, say, the Axi Craft AW2260S?

I would love to buy one of the bigger planer thicknessers like The Axi /CraftTrade or the iTech 260 but for how often i would use it it seems like overkill and whilst i can afford it, too much money. I have a small 3x6m workshop. So i'm wondering if i can get by with something like the Metabo...

I have this machine with the optional cartridge, picked it up on Black Friday and have been very pleased with it. It has plenty of suck as far as i can tell. Using it with a Laguna 14BX bandsaw and a router in an Incra Cleansweep box. Great results. Have just popped into the workshop to check...

I had a Laguna 14BX delivered by Yandles. I laid ply boards over the gravel and the courier got the pallet most of the way to my workshop. It was then surprisingly easy to flip the box up. I had to open it though to figure out which way was up. I also took out the table and fence to make it...

That's a good idea, would never have thought of screwing into the rail of the bench. And thanks for the advice on trying to clear out the threads.

I was saying that it would be a pain to remove the vice to change the liners if they were fixed by woodscrews from the back side of the jaws, as the screw head would be hidden. I want to bolt through the liners. 18tpi would be Whitworth? That's what i have and they are not fitting. Did Record...

It's the vice shown in this recent thread. The reason i wanted to use the threads was that it seems like it would be a pain to have to remove the vice to replace the jaw liners.

It's these holes and the screws will go in a couple of turns then stop. The screws don't seem to go into rear plate though. Seems odd that they would be smaller? I'll try and get hold of some 5/16 BSF to try. Thanks all.

Thanks. The holes are threaded. Will add a photo with dimensions later.

I moved to Milwaukee fuel from Makita. Much prefer them. I have the 18v Drill Driver, Impact and the m12 fuel surge impact - M12FQID - that little thing is amazing considering how small, light and quiet it is. It's my go to unless I need heavier duty and with short wood bits is great between...

I bought some 5/16" x 1" BSW to fit cheeks to my vice and they don't fit. Callipers show the holes to be about 6.9mm although the rear face holes seem slightly smaller. Any thoughts?

I'm just about to do mine on my, new to me Record 52 1/2, was planning on birch ply with suede glued to them.

Just thought I'd post a conclusion to this. It was much easier to figure out once i actually had the vice. Picked up a 52 1/2 from fleabay that was in good condition. All i had to do was degrease and then polish up the runners with some abrasive pads and lubricate. I fixed two 4x2's behind the...

I was using a Festool CTL 26 with a HEPA filter for power tools and a Midi for the mitre saw. The CTL 26 wasn’t getting everything from the router table. I’ve recently bought a bandsaw and decided to get a decent extractor. I went for the Axi AW153E and the optional fine filter. Really pleased...

Thanks @deema, I'll have a read of that.

Just thought I should come back to this and update with what I chose just in case it pops up in a search.. The Laguna 14BX. The quick lowdown is it cuts really well, no vibrations, plenty of power and no drift so far. Really pleased with it. And dust extraction is good. For my criteria of...

I've had one sat under my router table for a year before i even got a decent extractor to use with it, I blame lockdown purchasing! But now i have a proper extractor and find it excellent. I haven't added a split hose to connect to my Jessem fence yet but so far there is virtually no dust in the...
