Popped in for the first time yesterday. Fantastic place for the hobby woodworker and/or woodturner. Great selection of various hardwoods, in large and small sizes, everything priced (incl vat) so you know exactly how much you are spending. Tim very friendly and helpful. If he does not have...

ollie151 I have the earlier version (DJ 300) which I no longer use, so will create a new post in this forum with the details, as this post is now effectively closed. New post done, here is the link; trend-dj300-dovetail-jig-t109674.html

Kwr53 Did you ever sort out payment and buy this item? I have one for sale, complete with Trend cutters and I live in Basildon so could meet up with you and exchange for cash if you still want one. Martin.

Hi Derek, Thanks for your kind words, glad you enjoyed the review. I have subsequently sold the Record as I am now more into hand tool woodworking, I find this more enjoyable (and much quieter and safer). Good luck with your new toy, I am sure you will get lots of pleasure from using it, as I...

David, Thanks for the comprehensive report, just what I was hoping for.

Andy, Thanks very much, a comment from someone who actually has a one piece cap iron plane is what I was hoping for. Think I will go for one as soon as finances allow. In case anyone is wondering why I prefer the one piece cap iron, its because I use a honing guide to sharpen the blade, so the...

Peter, I followed the link and thought I could not find the description, however it was because the photo of the new one piece chip breaker looks just like a plane iron, so it was not obvious. However, once I clicked on the photo of the new cap iron the description is there, thanks. I also...

The Flinn-Garlick web site now states "The Cap Iron has a single piece design to offer rigid clamping" for the Clifton Bench Planes. However several suppliers web sites still talk about the planes having a two piece Cap Iron. Have F-G changed over to a single piece design (at last)? If so are...

Anybody have experience of the DMT Diamond Wave - Curved Tool Sharpener https://www.dmtsharp.com/sharpeners/bench-stones/diamond-wave-and-honing-cones/ Thanks - Martin.

My voucher dropped through the letter box just before Christmas. Have ordered a Precisio CS 70 trimming saw, plus side extension, rip fence and flip stop from FFX. Now need to send FFX the voucher attached to a print of the order (by recorded delivery) and wait in eager anticipation. Happy...

I have the Veritas dovetail saw and small hands and it works fine for me.

Thanks John, looks interesting.

Phil, Thanks very much for your comments. I suspected the supplied miter gauge would not be very good, but not a problem for me as I don't expect to be using it for cross cutting (will use my SCMS). Glad to hear you are happy with the saw after a couple of years of ownership, suggests it is a...

Axminster currently have lots of price reductions at the moment. I am considering purchasing a Bosch GTS10 J table saw which is on offer at £519.95 at the moment (reduced from £549.95) including free delivery. This is currently the lowest price I have found on the net. Call me greedy but I seem...

I am looking for a compact table saw to use for ripping soft/hard wood and composite boards. Needs to be small footprint, other than that no real preferences. Have looked at the Axminster TS200 and Kitty 419 these fit the bill in terms of overall size, but both have limited (150mm) ripping...

In my experience with the TS200C I never found Zero Clearance around the saw blade to be an issue (I assume that's what you mean by ZC). The only time it was a problem was when shaving very narrow pieces off of the work, when the waste would disappear down the side of the blade, but there is an...

Steve, As a hobbyist woodworker, having read a Specialist Band saw book (forget the author now) and various comments/web articles I accepted that drift was the cause of a similar problem I had with my band saw (after changing the blade, checking the settings as suggested etc) so I have skewed...

Peter, After changing the blade, if you still have a problem it may be worth checking the bandsaw for drift. Take a look at this page (http://www.newwoodworker.com/bsblddrft.html) which explains what drift is and how to check and compensate for it. Regards - Martin.
