Understood and that's why I did not just look at the price. There are many reviews/videos from people who got on with it well (enough) but the manufacturing issues were clear as well so I just persevered. As @whostolebenfrog says: it was this or nothing as at the stage I'm at: I can't justify...

I just got one of these as well.... Well actually: I got 3! I read many reviews here and in other places and @sams93 hits the nail on the head: hit and miss. #1 - the knife drum was crooked so that went back #2 - the infeed table was slanted and too low - that went back as well #3 - perfect! I...

I value all your comments and probably will decide against it but I can not see from this listing that it's only the blades. How did you determine that? Forget that, checking this listing again it has £260 shipping :-)

Apologies - Can you elaborate on that? I'm not sure what you mean. (Again I'm very new to all this)

I know... You get what you pay for but I am very new to woodworking and don't feel justified yet to spend lots of money on expensive tools. I spotted a planer on Ali Express which is about £50 (see image below). I can't find any reviews of it, and I wonder if anyone had a look at it and or...

I searched but could not find the answer hence my question. I've made wood chopping boards and want to finish them with food-safe tung oil. Many people suggest that you should dilute the first coat. I appreciate that you can buy ready-mixed products but I would like to dilute it myself. The...

I'm building a small outside table (it will only be outside in nice weather :)) from Wickes hardwood plywood. It's not very big (35 cm square and 50 cm high) but it has some funky bevels and edges on it. My plan is to cover the plywood edges with One Stike Filler and then ideally paint the...

Thank you all!

Thank you and apologies about the picture. When you click on it it becomes a lot bigger - does that help?

I'm really early on in the woodworking journey and I've made my first step away from plywood and bought a box of assorted timber on eBay. I asked them, before sending it, to mark what it is but they didn't and I wonder if the experts here can help a bit. What should be in the box is: Oak Iroko...

Thank you!

Apologies for maybe a very basic question but started my woodworking hobby and for the time being, focussed on storage / rough woodworking projects for the garage until I gain more confidence. My question: how do you determine the size/strength of wood to use? E.g. I'm making a workbench from...

What do you mean by "American" table saw things? Do they not focus on keeping your fingers attached :-)

Joined the forum yesterday and hope to learn a lot from you experts. I'm quite handy but no real fine woodworking experience but bought myself a table saw so keen to get going (whilst keeping all my fingers in place :-)) Watched 1,000's of YouTube video's and when things get a bit warmer in the...
