    Buying advice: Lunchbox Thicknesser

    You could also consider a Triton TPT125 with an upgraded helical head from Sheartek: https://www.sheartak.com/spiral-cutterhead-triton-12.5inch-thicknesser-planer-tpt125?srsltid=AfmBOopxEgnwu9kQPrzUb7WjzGGXLk9qSIrGHbNkq30JPKfTwELGBOGF A forum member posted a video on this recently...

    Gotten

    Less and fewer used interchangeably irritates me. If you don't know the difference you should use 'less' fewer often.

    Spoonerisms....

    Some of you may remember 80s TV presenter Pat Sharp. It was staring us in the face all this time.

    Amen to that, @Fitzroy. And you never need to bend down to put them on.

    Ali Express - Chinese Planer for £50

    There's a difference between getting what you ordered, and getting what you think you ordered. If you clicked the link and thought you were about to receive a Makita 2012NB2 for ~£40 you're not going to be very happy when only the blades turn up. I've bought quite a bit of stuff from Ali...

    Ali Express - Chinese Planer for £50

    Check again. Ali Express (and Temu, and Banggood) all tend to list related items at the price of the cheapest, such as the blades, the rollers, as well as the base unit. I found your planer thicknesser and the £41.25 price is for the blades only, not the the unit itself. £41.25 really is too...

    Bandsaw upgrade

    If you do decide on a Record Power 450 be aware it requires a 16a commando style socket and possibly a type c MCB on your consumer unit. So you might also want to budget a bit extra for an electrician to fit you a new circuit. I do have a 450 and like it very much. Before you decide, do go and...

    Can you explain this table saw cut?

    You mentioned you've changed the blade from the stock Evolution multi-material blade. Have you checked the dimensions of the new blade are appropriate for the kerf of the riving knife? Perhaps your new blade is thicker than the old blade, allowing more play around the workpiece as it moves...

    Computer advise needed

    Yep, a hypervisor is more to run on the new hardware only. Plenty of free P2V utilities out there to convert the existing physical PC to a VM. Win7 licensing may need attention depending on how the original PC was licensed. You could also use RDP or VNC to connect to the first PC over the...

    Shein app

    Can you remove the Shein app? If, as leisurefix suggests, it's your phone provider or network who've forced it on it's time to take your business elsewhere.

    Vacuum hose - Festool-alike

    I have a cheapo Sealy hose which is reasonably robust (I've trodden on it many times) but tends to snag on things, especially the edges of tracksaw tracks. Curious to know if anyone's used these guys: https://hosewraps.com and if you'd recommend them?

    Some advice/help please - birch plywood sheets

    It depends what sort of shaped hole you're after. If square/rectangular, a jigsaw or coping saw would work. If rounded, a router or domino.

    13A fuses - is there much difference?

    I do hope you mean '...I had a qualified electrician install a new 16a circuit, complete all the safety checks and then notified the local authorities...' ;)

    Stuck thermostatic shower valve

    It does look like a Crosswater unit. If it's anything like mine you'll need to screw the two slotted copper screws immediately above and below the thermostatic valve all the way in to isolate the water flow. Then rock the unit per Spectric's advice. You could line a block of wood up against the...

    Setting up a plane

    I returned my Faithfull to Amazon. Really poor casting made it unusable. If you do decide to go secondhand, Tooltique have some reconditioned Stanley #3, #4 and #4.5s in stock at the moment. They seem to go pretty quick, so you might want get moving!

    Computer confusion....

    I think @porker's on the right track. Run your browser in incognito mode and see if that fixes it.

    Why isn't there a reasonably priced eclipse-style honing guide?

    This might be an alternative to the O'Skool guide: https://www.banggood.com/Mohoo-Sharpening-System-Honing-Guide-Sharpening-Holder-Angle-Fixture-Angle-Gauge-for-Woodworking-Chisel-p-1979514.html?cur_warehouse=USA&ID=511646&rmmds=search The associated angle gauge is very well made but both...

    Festool HK55 worth it for a newbie Circular saw??

    Perhaps another way of looking at the same question ("I've just passed my driving test, should I go out and buy a top of the range vehicle?") would be to answer "No - buy the safest vehicle you can afford". This might lead you to a different answer re: Festool - if the higher quality of the...
