Hi, I'm considering upgrading my dewalt DW733 for the Jet JPM13 SCX thicknesser. Does anyone have this machine? how does it perform? is it worth the money? I already have a seperate jointer so I'm not bothered about a planer/thicknesser. Any comments appreciated. cheers, jon.

I would have also thought that by wearing gloves, any slightest contact with the blade could even drag your hand further in!! cheers, jon.

Nice work! Jon.

Hello, the quality and sharpness of blades and moulder tooling also dramatically reduces the risk of any kickback or grabbing of the workpiece. Any person who regularly uses spindles, knows the satisfying feeling of timber gliding through the cutterhead when using a new set of knives as opposed...

Why don't you look into having one sent over from the States. You might be able to get a naked version (no batteries,box or charger) you'll get it dirt cheap if you can and you obviously have all the other bits don't you!! cheers jon.

In the program wood works I too can say that the standard of his work can be a little hap hazard but if we are talking about that guy called Anton Fitzpatrick, he also used to present a show called dreamboats where he guided mere mortals through the step by step process of building small boats...

When I talk about the high quality of the Dewalt saw blades, I'm talking specifically about the series 40 and more to the point the series 60. The large panel saws we use at work have blade capacities of 300-400mm and we have used the series 60 for years under the ELU branding and rate them as...

I have one of those seriously thin kerf blades from CMT, (1.7mm) I think, it has 80 teeth and straight from the box I found it to be rubbish. The blade seems to be far too thin which means it won't hold it's rigidity when crosscutting something like oak or beech. The first table saw I had was a...

HI, I've found Stanley planes very good on the whole as well. cheers, jon.

Dewalt DW7461, cast iron precision sliding table. The table is to fit on the Dewalt DW 746 saw bench but anyone with little engineering experience could fit it to any saw with a table which is 27inch from front to back. These tables would set you back about £400 with vat but I will take £150...

Let's all bombarde the discovery channel with Emails asking to re-run better programs like great british woodworker then! Or even better, get the new series of New Yankee on.

Hi, I have alway's used the Dewalt blades. The series 40 or if you can stretch the extra cost, go for the series 60. To buy from a shop will set you back £40-£60 depending how many teeth you opt for but I have bought 4 off ebay for only £10-£20 each. Keep an eye out on ebay as they are always...

Dewalt DW7461 cast iron sliding table attatchment. Brand new in box, £350-£400 retail cost. I'll take £150 but must collect from Sheffield cos it's stupidly heavy!

Hi, I have the Dakota jig in question and it's very heavy. As Philly say's, it is probably not a good idea to hold it against a mitre gauge as the slightest sideway movement could be dangerous but I see no reason why a new bar that fits your own table slot couldn't be fitted. cheers, jon.

There use to be one called Woodworks as well, a guy called Anton Fitzpatrick I think. jon.

David Free had a good series called the great British woodshop even though it was a little new yankee-ish! cheers, jon

Jab, nearly all CE approved saws won't take a dado. I think you can with Scheppach though and the saws from Woodford, the Xcaliber range. cheers, jon.

Congratulations to both of you and best wishes. Jonathan.

Adam, The one word which would probably suit the SS best is "precision". If time and care is taken to set the saw up accurately, Then that's the way it performs. The internal castings are machined to a very good standard and when adjustments are made, they return to the origional bang on...

Adam, I have the supersaw with leg base and can recommend it. Minimal vibration, accurate cutting, easy adjustment, large table area and plenty of power. cheers, jonathan.
