    Buying a fully electric used car

    When you select a specific EV model (before making a purchase): - Call your local garages to check if they can repair and service the vehicle. I've heard that in some areas, people struggle to find a car mechanic for their EV or the price is not reasonable - Get an insurance quote to see if the...

    low angle smoother

    Hello @Derek Cohen (Perth Oz), Thank you for the fascinating write-up. One thing I did not see mentioned is handling the plane when taking it to the workpiece and off of the workpiece. It may not sound like much, but (at least for me) with the upright handle (a default option in most...

    Sanding Abrasive For Mini Belt & Disc Sander

    I'd like to know the answers to your questions as well. In my previous searches, I came across a few places advertising 1x30" belts, but none sounded familiar. If you want to try your luck, please report back on how it went. 3M Trizact -...

    Axminster Bedrock no.5 jack plane review

    Hello @scooby , Thank you for the review and the exclusive photo of the yoke. Does the dog-bone shaped end of the Y-piece help reduce backlash in the depth adjustment? Does it require less turning than on a standard Stanley plane? For lever cap creep, check if there’s any leftover swarf on...

    Sold Axminster Bedrock No.5 (For sale again)

    Wise choice :) Thank you. If you could write a review with pictures after you've had a chance to familiarise yourself with this plane, I’m sure many forum members would appreciate it.

    Wanting magnets to hold on trims

    If the force applied is a peel type, then any rare earth (neodymium) magnets could work, as long as they are rated for the weight you have in mind plus some extra. However, if you’re thinking of attaching vertical panels without hard support at the bottom (i.e., subject to shear force), then...

    Sold Axminster Bedrock No.5 (For sale again)

    Commenting to bump your thread and also, selfishly, to ask a question. :) I’m not a potential buyer at this point in time, but I’ve been curious about these new planes. I haven’t seen any reviews so far and would be interested to hear feedback from someone who has had their hands on one of...

    Inbcra i box

    Thank you for the review @johnnyb Can this Incra jig be used to cut box joints on a table saw without dado support? i.e. can it be used if the blade kerf is narrower than the required box joint gap? I use a mitre guide fence from the Far East - it’s fiddly to set up to begin with, but once...

    Electric sander for inside corners?

    Have you considered Bobbin sanders (Spindle Sanders) or simply using drill attachments of various diameters to sand inside the corners? There are also things like powerfiles and Proxxon which can also sand inside corners reasonably well. For particularly tight places - a dremel type tool with...

    Mafell MT55CC KIT

    Depends on the operator. If the OP has the same talents as I do, then Mafell won’t stop us. Standard Mafell blade is not particularly thick to begin with (1.8mm). I was trimming doors recently with the MT55 and the standard Mafell blade (full kerf), and the blade was all over the place, flexing...

    Gel filled sandbags

    Have you found any that are multi-use? The last time I looked into this, all the commercially available options I found were single-use.

    End grain chopping board

    Hello @NewbieRaf This may not be what you want to hear, but if you value your health, I recommend listening to or watching this: It may change your mind about buying a cutting board, especially an end-grain one.

    Bosch FSN guide rail square cut guides?

    The likely reason is that they did not want to impact the sales of Mafell KSS saws.

    Bosch FSN guide rail square cut guides?

    @benhen31 - FYI - the Mafell/Bosch bevel guide and Benchdogs square mentioned earlier are not mutually exclusive. The Benchdogs square can be enhanced with the Benchdogs repeat cut system, which I find immensely convenient when cutting quantities of sheet goods. There are also guide rail dogs...

    Bosch FSN guide rail square cut guides?

    This page says: > the Angle Fence track itself is 13-1/4" long, with 7-7/8" cutting length available at 0 there is also short video on that page demonstrating the use of F-WA 205357 on its own.

    AXMINSTER Workshop AW1950B Bandsaw

    There are several threads on this forum discussing Axminster 1950B bandsaw. AW1950B is a rebadged version of AC1950B with one major difference - AC1950B had ceramic blade guides while AW1950B comes with ball bearing side and thrust bearings. It is a good bandsaw but the height of cut is...

    Sold Triton TPL180B

    Do you mind sharing a bit more detail about where that loose connection is? I have the same planer, and it would be helpful to know what to fix if it suddenly stops working.

    Router Table

    I am a happy user of Trend CRT/MK3 Router Table. It is a benchtop table (not floor-standing). Bought it 3 or 4 years ago. Can't think of anything bad to say about it. Had to drill new holes in the insert for my Triton router and moved NVR switch to the left side (when it was in front as in the...

    Cool. Will these models still work if my filament is not green or green/black? :D
