I've tried a few of the options above... I'm not sure what glue people recommend mixing with the sawdust, I tried it with titebond 3 Ultimate and was slightly disappointed, it dried quite dark, it also shrank quite a lot. I'm sure in the past I have had better results with different glues...

I've cleaned up the chip breaker, but I'm not convinced that's the problem.. Just ground off the first 5mm.. I'll see if it gets any better.. If it chips again I'll either try a second cutting angle of 30 degrees Or more likely throw it through the windows as I'm sick of sharpening it...

I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong when sharpening.. This is after about an hour of planning.. I checked the angle at 27 degrees so not a million miles away.. I bought the plane a while ago on amazon, I can see if they will return it, but it seems like a waste as I know a lot of the...

Has anyone tried JAPANESE LAMINATED PLANE BLADES I bought a cheap Faithfull No.7 Jointer Plane, It's driving me slightly loopy as the blade keeps chipping. Takes ages to resharpen and get the blade straight again. I'm cutting elm, a few knots but I'm not hitting nails.

Having designed circular saws and tested about 50, I can promise you that 95% of the cut quality is down to the blade and the rubber strip on your track.. Nothing else comes into contact with the wood... (excluding something where the blade has more run-out than a drag-along cart) I promise...

I wouldn't bother if your circ saw runs on a track.. A good blade will make a massive difference The only advantage that I can see is the dust collection is alot better.. I don't ever use the plunge feature.

Your more likely to say, this job would be so much easier if i just had a...... Also how far do you go, Is everything you own mafell and festool? With tools like 4 1/2 grinders I would rather have 3 cheaper bosch grinders, one with a grinding blade, one with cut off and one with a soft pad...

I've got the evolution tracksaw EVOLUTION R185CCSX+ It's a great saw, but I use the blade that came with it when I'm cutting something with nails, plastic alu or firewood. It's not great if you want a clean cut on wood. I definitely haven't done the blade any favours. I bought a festool...

The quilt is quicker to lay and I would guess a lot cheaper.. I would guess performance-wise it's pretty poor. I was comparing rockwool to rigid pur foam a while ago and to get a similar level of insulation you needed so much rockwool it actually worked out more expensive. Crunch the numbers...

Hi Steve, How did you get on? I've just bought a router sled, now looking at the range of bits for sale all for flattening? Has anyone tried one of the bits where the inserts mount horizontally? Are they worth the extra cost? I'm not the biggest fan of sanding and have 7 kitchen doors to...

Still for sale?

There is no reason you can't make up a 16amp extension with the blue 16amp connectors on both ends. I made one from a 100m roll of 2.5mm artic flex. The motor draws about 6 times the starting current of its full load current. If the full load current of the motor is 9.6 amps. The starting...

Thanks for the picture, it gave me a clue... All fixed.. but not obvious.. Yes, the vibrations from the router, causes the thread to unwind.. always unwind as it's the weight of the router pulling it down.. I'd moved the red slider back and forward and it didn't change the friction. The red...

Does anyone know if you can add some friction to the depth adjustment or lock the depth? Initially, I just thought the router bit wasn't tight enough.. I didn't get a manual with it and can't find anything online.

Thanks, yes slowly getting better. After lots of physio, I have movement back. Just need to work on strength and feeling now. I just about have the strength to squeeze a peg open and failed completely to pick up a coin. Just a shame that nerve regeneration and growth is so slow.. You also...

I bought a large budget set of faithful to start with thinking that I would replace the ones I wore out with quality bits.. to be fair they have lasted really well. I only use a few bits though Small and large straight, trimming bit with bearing, round over large and small (Radius) x 2...

There is no hope for christmas... It was almost impossible without losing a month..

With this logic you could argue that airbags kill drivers, Life rafts sink boats and your safer to remove all the guards from the saw and hold the wood between your teeth when cutting... Stop you getting careless when your face is next to the blade. I've always used a push stick towards the...

I can't give up... I've got a kitchen to build. (The plan was to have it finished by Christmas... ) Dovetailed draws... Doors Cabinets

PS Does anyone know how the Felder PCS works, I'm guessing they have got around the 100 SawStop patents.. or paying festool royaties I just wish they would stop waving there fingers around in the video.
