Hybrid silicone? gripfills OK but not used loads these days(I've not used it for over a decade) gun grade pu foam which is what phils saying? Hybrid silicone is used for everything Plumbing decorating sealing gluing but it's real sticky messy muck for sealing stuff not recommended. Normal...

Just had mine done by a chap. He used rubio monocoat. Only done today but its flat as a fluke(matt)

I still don't know where these are made for certain? If there chinese that's fine. If there from Taiwan that's good as well.

My point really is don't listen to any science or fluff or sales(no matter how convincing) just pick one up. I've been using mine all day shooting tight mitres

The irony being these saws are high quality and once set would be as safe as they can be. It's the cheap saws I won't go near fearing the worst!

It matters if the company name is "the Melbourne tool company" besides that the quangsheng irons are superb.

I've got amazing joints from a track saw and 3m rail. Certain states are very difficult to correct on a planer no matter how well set unless you have long tables. Say a long slow curve. There not bent enough to register and always end in a further bow.

I'm a spindle moulder fan tbh and liked those lovely little ones made by electra beckum and sheppach that so terrified diyers. The sheppach one had an integrated two roller feed as an option. Routers have been pushed a little beyond there practical limits imho. There much more versatile jigged...

I have found this with really sharp inserts(I diamond hone mine) it disappears after a spell. It still happens even after messing with the outfeed. Remember these things are merely a tool the products only need to be good/straight enough to work with. If I wanted to mess around I'd arrange a...

It's not just the norris adjuster the very low angle makes the lateral adjuster less effective and makes a curved iron flatter. None of which is relevant with very fine cuts. As I mentioned I like my planes to be able to hog stuff off a bit. It's more the feel I dislike tbh and just like the...

I realise that sawstop can't be retrofitted but the tech could easily be applied to any brand saw. If they thought it sufficiently profitable. The altendorf is an eye opener but it will be only high end shops that use those.

It's a remarkable achievement imho. The cartridge is an alloy extrusion and a clear plastic box with a visible circuit board. I reckon something must have gone slightly wrong at some point otherwise it would have been on a big name saw. As it was they ended up developing there own brand saw and...

I'll say it could takeover if it was adjusted to the needs of the industrial joiner/cabinetmaker. Its made for the us hobby market which is a world away from the UK hobby market imho.

Going back to products I was interested in at Harrogate. Odies oil was demonstrated. Skeltons peacock oil was what tempted me though(its so expensive it must be good) Osmo, fiddles, textrol, owatrol etc They can't all be as great as they reckon. Is it just various drying oils and waxes. Why are...

Sorry this is in the wrong forum.

Anybody see the sawstop demo at Harrogate or elsewhere. Very exciting in the flesh and as doug mentioned slick as the Torrey canyon. Will it be a great success? Or is it out of hobbiests means. It's the sort of advance that makes you go if only it was on everything! I found it interesting they...

What blades need to be sharpened? Chisels etc or planes?

I ask because the water hardened steel from quangsheng is superb(w2) And m2 has rarely been used for woodwork blades as far as I recall.

Are these a Chinese brand?

I always admired hnt Gordon planes but never did buy.
