Ok… I want your 18mm housing joint down the middle of a 10’x5’ sheet of 1” ply, 250 times, off you go. The guy with a dado set on a large panel saw sees this as a lot of work, the guy with a router table?

I’m struggling to make that logic work, but I don’t work with industrial sanders. Certainly for manufacturing surgical tools there’s a bank of grinding wheels of ever finer media each part goes through till they are onto the hones last of all.

Is that a joke question? I mean do I need to talk about reach, chip removal rate vs feed speed? You can use a saw and a chisel too, why not do that?

The usual argument is you’ve not got a cordless and hose-less vacuum, so what’s the advantage? I’m thinking of a cordless circular saw for outdoor work soon, as I wouldn’t be using my lovely Mafell for cutting treated 4x2 and feather edge and the cable will get in the way. I suppose it’s down...

Gosh, it’s almost like there’s so many facets to a problem, above “I don’t understand the obsession”, maybe someone who wants one needs that facility? …especially if they’ve spent thousands on the machine for it!

Sharpening thread alert! Anyway, here’s something most don’t know… With a leather strop you are honing, as in, you are refining the surface that’s been ground, averaging it off, reducing its roughness, which is great to make them cut better, especially with curved surfaces which are really...

Dado head faster, you lose.

If you turn those prices from 1975 into 2020… you will have a good comparison If the batteries are dead, most would call that not working! My last car worked perfectly except the brakes

I believe it is a term of the youth, for those that are down with it, if you get me… bro.

You’re on a roll this weekend, let’s see you put a 20mm wide housing joint down the middle of a 2.4m sheet of ply with a spindle moulder. Yes there are other ways of doing it, but for certain operations they are highly effective.

Maybe articulating your position with some evidence and less emotional outburst will help you be taken more seriously.

Mafell tools are fabulous, but it’s academic if you just can’t afford them, but if you can, I would.

Anyone providing you with an authority answer without first asking you what you are planning to make… is talking waffle. so, what are you planning to make?

I think it was a recipe for Yorkshire pudding? So hard when a word used mean one thing, now it doesn’t

I am unable to respond as I can’t be sure that the words you have used have any meaning

This isn’t being made at the moment and I’m not using it so, here it is. In the original box where it’s been kept indoors warm and dry. No dinks or damage, been used a handful of times, the corners of the blade have been rounded off so it doesn’t tramline, other than that it’s virtually new...

Yes, you are correct, you are applying a cantilever load to the vice jaw and it will rock open at the top, vice jaws are often tapered to accommodate this. It happens on all vices, metal ones less, it it still happens. Designs like the old English ones with the l-shaped bracket and a screw...

They look like the York ones that are available under several different names. They are fine for your intended use I think, the top one looks like the quick release variant and I have one on a 80mm thick top with aprons

Because copper melts around 1000c and tungsten carbide at 2900c, even the cobalt binder at 1500c. Brazing isn’t welding, it’s an adhesive process, there’s no melting of the parent material. Even a diffusion weld would need to be up above 50% of the melt temperature at least and require the...
