Thanks Sideways - appreciate the reply. Yes, I have both Mirka and Festool hoses; the hoses are push-fit and they do fit. A screw adapter does work - I have one - it's just LH and I want RH. It's not essential - I just don't like being beaten :)

I'm looking to 3D print a port adapter for my Deros. Grateful if someone could identify the thread for me. The diameter of the port is 25.4mm (a familiar number - one inch). The thread separation is 4.5mm as close as I can measure it - which I guess equates to (25.4/4.5) 5.64 TPI. I have...

Difficult to answer - I need them all! But the one thing that I have in my hand more than anything else is digital callipers - I would do without many things before I gave these up.

Congrats on your Domino! It's transformative, but I have lost my M/T joinery skills . Some of accessories are silly expensive - I think the thinking is that if you can afford a Domino then you have money for anything! Also transformative (for me) was the 'domiplate' which I've found makes it...

Hi Brdy, you are fairly close to me and I occasionally use Vasterns. I buy tiny quantities by their standards, but they are always helpful. You must make an appointment though! You must understand what you are after before you go - quality, drying method etc. I've spent ages there with 2...

I have the Kapex KS 60 because space is an issue. It's very compact and is of exceptional quality.

I have stock of 30mm Medite MRMDF which has the green core. If you have ordered Medite then you should be suspicious. Otherwise, I'm not aware that other brands duplicate the green core concept. Regards Chris.

I have a good stock of Elm in my workshop at the moment - and that looks a very close match indeed.

All dominos, which make the steps very strong. I guess large dowels would do the trick almost as well.

I made a lovely scratching post, but she hasn't touched it - prefers to use the workshop mat. However, she loves the cat tree - solid beech with spiral steps fixed to post with dominos - topped with a cat's nest. And here she is in person.

I can answer the OP :-) I bought a power meter and have been trying to track down my high power usage (circa 6000KWh pa) in the house. I have been unpleasantly shocked (:) ) by many appliances - notably my fridge/freezer (620 Kwh per year) which is quite old. Anyway, the NEFF oven (a...

Comments above are spot on. I use the deflection method. It's funny when I first got my Sabre 350 I used to fret about all sorts of things and now I can’t see why. Now I just use it - 95% for resawing and it seems to tolerate quite a broad range of tensions without effecting the cut. I used to...

Sapale?

Mine is not for sale, but have had had it for many years. The PMV11 blade is excellent. It is easy to sharpen and they hold their edge well - I use DMT dia-sharp stones. However, they are not as quick to sharpen as O1. I dropped my blade a long while back and dinted the edge ( I have rubber...

Hi @baileytog and welcome. I'm just down the road from you Chippenham. Good to see all the Wiltshire Woodworkers coming out :)

FWIW I have not used Rutland for many years ( buy direct from Banggood now😀). I found their products to be either poor or barely adequate (kind of expected). However found their CS to be quite good.

I have the Laguna 16-32 Supermax. Fairly easy to achieve thickness accuracy of 0.1mm with DRO. Max thickness is 75mm. I like the speed of changing the load - usually takes <30s if I have my head on straight. Never regretted getting the machine.

No expert here, but the left hand side of the piece has an Elm-like grain.

It makes sense to me. I have no knowledge of the concentricity of routers and bits, but the verticalness/verticality (please insert correct word :) ) of drilling is the weak link in this otherwise superb system.

Hi Pete, Yes, I've bought several over the years - originally some ABS ones from somewhere, but these flex a little. I then got some Alu ones from Rutlands - most of which were out of square and returned. More recently I got a couple of sets (different sizes) of the Banggood ones with the...
