You will find this is a special order item. Most woodyards or builders merchants will be able to order it in for you as it is not usually stored on site. readily available though. A phone call to your local will tell you if they are willing to place the order for you. It will probably have to...

He also got most of it nicked. And, as I recall what was left was covered in rust when he went to retieve it.

I have the same model, can't fault it for basic pocket hole joinery. The Kreg stuff looks overpriced to me for what it is, as usual the price is hugely inflated to cover the advertising and marketing programme.

You will find the gearing on these machines are plastic, meaning after a comparatively short time the machine will fail, perhaps not the motor but certainly the mesh gears as they wear out. Of course the gears are not cheap to repair, almost as much as the machine itself. If you intend to use...

If you need to paint or seal, don't you have to seal the sanded edge as well? I have found that sanding alone does not provide an edge good enough for painting.

I believe that importer is Bri Mark?

Very cryptic, but yes.... Axed :D

Yep, as mentioned, including import duty.....£203 all in

The issue of VAT is relevant. Tax in the USA, varies state to state. However somewhere around 6 - 7% is the norm, catering foir both Federal & state taxes. You ask any American how they consider the rate they pay, most consider it exuberent. They usually calm down to a frenzy when I tell them...

It comes down to the corporate world we live in. High prices for poor quality and minimum effort. Good on you for harvesting your own timber.

A very wise and relevant suggestion, and would of course make perfect sense. However I'm sure a certain company would block an application for the scheme.

Terry - I cannot answer your question. Although I lined my workshop walls with 18mm Luan ply then applied several coats of emulsion to brighten the walls. I insulated the walls with 75mm of polystyrene (which I initially thought caused the issue. The ceiling was covered with 3mm hardboard. I...

What I cannot get my head around is the often huge price variances on some tools manufactured overseas. There may of course be other factors of the business world which I do not understand which alter prices. However, the exchange rate means the tools are often half price or less if purchased in...

I have just received my latest LV plane directly from Lee Valley Tools. I bought the BU smooth plane with the PM-V11 blade. The price, including plane, blade, shipping, courier handling fees and import duty was £203.50. Compare this to £269.00 asked at Axminster. Some will say, if the tool...

I was looking at a York Quick release vice over the weekend. They have two options, a large and small. having clicked both option sizes the price was the same for both models. I should have pulled the trigger at the point. When I rechecked on the Monday morning the price for the larger one was...

I had a new timber workshop installed 4 years ago with very similar problems. After a few weeks it does clear significantly. However on warm damp mornings when I first go into the shop the same effects are apparent. I open the doors, have a cuppa and by the time I go back the effects...

Seems a tad pricey at £17.89 (incl shipping) for a 6" lenght of rubber tube.

Looks like you could have a budding business enterprise there.

I'm afraid it's just another example of the sub standard kit we are expected to put up with here in the UK. I have sent three machines back to the supplier, with no qualms 1. An 18" Jet bandsaw - because the paint was blistering in some parts. 2. a Hairline crack in a plate insert on a Jet...

Thanks Chas, so from your diagram, with the trun handlke being on the right of the shaft as we look, a retaining/split pin would be inserted through a drilled hole at the far left of the shaft and to the left of the left nut/bushing? That seems about right, I guess a tight fitting star washer...
