Wow thank you for so much kind advice. I decided to look at a second hand one locally. Amazingly a random conversation lead to a gift of an old Stanley Bailey which I'll just need to clean up which will teach me a little more.

I Certainly will not be buying the Lie Neilsen / Vertias offerings. Second hand looks very appealing, if a little more expensive but I assume the quality is better than the current day versions. I'm not afraid to have a go at tuning up / restoration, but I'm always concerned of being sold a...

I am looking for a little advice from those with more experience please. I am looking to buy a bench plane to smooth smaller pieces (10cm to 50 cm) of timber in a hobby environment. Having looked around and read various websites and looked at the dreaded "You Pipe" videos I believe I am really...

Chubber, I am interested in buying one of these and found your write up very helpful. I wondered, how you are finding it after 6 months of use? does the thicknesser produce any snipe? Thanks in advance

I have a SIP 01954, I have used a plastic bag on the bottom collector without issue (the cloth one provided was a nightmare to get the sawdust out loads just stuck to it) I purchased mine with a pleated filter but you appear to be able to buy original filters through SIP suppliers. I'm afraid...

I have the same bandsaw as you I am very pleased with it. I must say I have not experienced the issue you describe, my only issue has been that when raising or lowering the blade guard the guides sometimes need readjustment. Its not a big issue, just one of those things.

A very intersting thread, for my 2 pence worth I was born in the late 60's we did have a few lessons in woodwork, metalwork, sewing and even cooking at the secondary modern schools I went to. There was never enough to actually learn how to do anything but at least there was an attempt at raising...

I Certainly was not totally set on the brand , I looked at the Yorkleen but their prices were a fair bit more than the Camvac. This proved theoretical in the end as I have decided to go the HVLP route and ordered a SIP 2HP model with a cartridge filter to get the filtration down to 1um. Thankyou...

Thank you for your input, Whilst your approach is appealing I finally decided to go for a HVLP SIP 2hp extractor with a fine filter cartridge instead. More money than I was initially thinking but still a long way short of the 3 motor Camvacs. I just felt that the bang for buck was greater going...

This is my worry that they are quite expensive and may not offer much benefit. Sound is a consideration too I was thinking of boxing in a camvac and venting thru a sound box as I have seen posted elsewhere on here The reach is also a big consideration the canvas appear to have only 100mm 4"...

That's what I was thinking my current vacuum has the same power as a single cam vacuum. Although I do like the cleanable cloth filters

That sounds very interesting I have a cyclone at the minute but was assuming that it was stealing some of the current vacuums efficiency. But I was thinking or hoping it was saving the paper bags and the pleated air filter. If you don't mind what are you using yours for turning or general woodwork?

I use a Record Bandsaw and Lathe, together with a bobbin sander, I currently have a Scheppach HA1000 50L drum type vacuum together with the record AC400 Filter. However is there is always a fine dust all over the workshop, I use a trend face mask, but the general dust is annoying. When I use...

I have some sympathy for the demoralised cops what are they supposed to do? If the little g1ts fail to stop as we know they will the cops are not allowed to chase if they do and the poor darlings get hurt its the cops that get hauled before a discipline board and or court. They are completely...

I've only got a small canister type vaccum similar to all the other generic models around the £100 mark. I fitted a cheap cyclone from the bay to a small 30 L steel drum purchased from a UK manufacturer based in Hull. No prv and its never collapsed even when the hose is blocked for a moment...

I've recently purchased one of these and I have to say its very good at removing the fine dust that settles everywhere (despite DX) like many of the above I turn it on for a couple of hours when I finish. Unfortunately I have a very low ceiling and cannot fit it to the ceiling so I have ended up...

It never ceases to amaze me how talented some people are, especially when it comes to carving or drawing animals where even the smallest deviation from reality really spoils the illusion.
