I have a mini max planer, having looked at the ebay listing the Esy does look very similar in finish.

Esy srl was set up in 2003 in Brescello in Italy. They have no website but definitely woodworking. A few online searches, in Italian, haven't thrown up any actual machines. Esy is most probably a corruption of 'easy". If you asked an Italian to spell easy they would write "esy".

I keep telling myself I should dig out my LN62 and Bronze 4 and sell them, Haven't been used since I moved to Italy.

The grade I use depends on the severity of the corrosion. On larger surfase I lubricate with felder protective oil, Metal Protect | Felder Shop On smaller tools I use Balistol gun oil. I have an old biscuit tin with a rag and an extra fine pad which I use regularly, both slightly oily. Whenever...

I agree. Iget dizzy/feel faint when looking at the catalogue.

I have 6mm slots too. I bought mine from Amazon. Would let you have the link but Amazon doesn't seem to work this early. They don't always have it in stock.

PB Swiss or Festool. Unless I'm using Torx screws I tend to use a screwdriver for the final push.

Make sure you read the label. Sometimes the product can have very little Tung oil in it. Like Wasabe sold in the supermarket that ha less than 2% wasabe in it.

They're not so much optional as, and it is a bit difficult to translate, for every law there is always a way of not having to follow the law. I did have a quick look, changing the plug in Italy definitely invalidates the guarantee, which by law I believe is 2 years. When the hinge broke on my...

There are 3 current types of sockets in Italy, see images, if you count houses that still haven't got an earth there are 2 more without centre pins. If you have an Oral B electric toothbrush the plug on that won't fit any of them, the pins are wider. There is probably a 16A flat as well but...

It may depend on the value of the goods? I don't think getting an EORI should be a big deal, although I don't know how you would go about it in the UK. It is relatively simple here, you just stick IT in front of your personal tax code which can be calculated online in 20 seconds. There is still...

I too buy regularly from Dictum and have never had any issues.

Is there not a danger that changing the plug will affect the warranty? I'm in Italy and I am so fed up with the number of adapters you need. 10A flat, 16A flat, shuko (German), Although you can buy plugs here even the better quality like Vimar, Gewiss and BTicino fall apart in no time. Sometimes...

Best I have used are Star M brand from Amazon.jp. In my opinion way better than Trend.

Try The home of Model Engineer and Model Engineers' Workshop Magazines They are always very helpful. Whenever I need help with anything metal I try them first.

Came across this quite by chance. The gentleman sells handmade saws and associated tools and bits N pieces for saw making.

I no longer buy from my local supplier. With chestnut, they take the view that very narrow boards which are mostly waney edge, ring shake and knots are all part of the timber and I have to pay for them.

Looks like it has already been filled to me, and opened up further in situ.

I'm still waiting for a parcel that left the UK with Parcelforce on November 25th. Tracking says it is at the wrong delivery depot. On the question of ID's I regularly buy from UK and Japan. I am always asked for my tax number. In fact, I have to provide it on Amazon before completing checkout.

Ring shakes are common in lesser quality material. Historically sweet chestnut is the goto wood where I live. External doors (unpainted), windows, beams, floorboards, roof and heads over doors and windows in stone walls. It is extremely durable but if used outside, heads or balcony construction...
