I've been looking at this : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cen-Tec-System ... ay&sr=8-16 coupled with some sleeving

Most wet and dry vacs come with a 32-35mm hose, which depending on what you're doing, is generally too small for a workshop and clogs easily. I have the Titan vac, where I have replaced the hose with a 60mm version. It's much better now with the bigger particles (small shavings), and suction is...

Depends how you want to use it as a workbench. If its for hand tool work like sawing, chiseling, hammering etc, you'd be much better off with a traditional heavy weight, thick surfaced top jobby. Less vibration, less movement, no annoying holes for things to fall through. If you have the space...

The only niggle with adding the extrusion, is that you then can't clamp things to the edge of the top.

Another good idea. I think I might price up some extrusion at some point.

But you still want ZC there too.

I actually use the same idea on my table saw. I stick a piece of 50mm masking tape right over the blade slot. But for me, it's mosty to help with dust, and stopping things falling into the gap.

As mentioned, I already tried the cam clamps (in conjunction with wedges and spacers). However .... When I initially tried them with my home made wedges, I found things kept slipping. I tried them again last night, but this time, copying the wedge shape from the UJK Axminster ones which was...

Zero clearance inserts are great until you need to make an angled cut. Then you either have to remove it, or ruin the current one. Massive pain in the arse. How cool would it be if they manfactured their saws so that you could just stick a piece of 12mm (or some other standard size) MDF in? no...

Thanks for the suggestions. Some good simple ideas

Yeah - I'm sure a proper vice is the way to go, but if there was something that worked with the holes, it would be super useful as you could rotate it to suite your needs.

I don't have any extrusion. It's literally a replacement MFT top on some legs

I have an MFT type workbench (MFT replacement top on home made frame), and was wondering how people go about clamping things like the image below, but with the board vertical (so the edge is touching the table, not the face)? I've tried cam clamps, and also the Veritas Wonder Dog, but they...

Hmm - accurate to 4 microns? .. so you get a spec of dust, or you push to hard, and now that 4 microns means nothing :p The rest of the system (rail and saw) is nowhere near that accurate. So whats the point? ...wouldn't a version milled to the same accuracy as the rail be much cheaper and just...

I too enjoy his channel. No silly intro, no self promoting, no marketing, no nonsense .. just to the point. Good stuff!

But if someone does know the account number and sort code, what stops them from setting up a direct debit? (for whatever reason!) All they need is the name and address (they would know that too in most cases) .

But they had Valyrian steel. :lol: 8) "Valyrian steel is a form of metal that was forged in the days of the mighty Valyrian Freehold. When fashioned into bladed weapons, the steel can hold an especially keen edge, remaining sharp forever without the need for honing. "

Again - implying indivisibility. All you can do is get closer and closer.

I guess you could also argue that you don't really a need a square for setting up tools. Sometimes, depending on the tool, I find it much easier to just take multiple cuts (tweaking inbetween) and compare the results (flipped) on a straight edge. Not the quickest method, and not repeatable...

Exactly. It doesn't matter where it's made, China or England. What matters is how it's been asked to be manufacturered ... i.e to what budget.
