Well I read a Reddit thread the same week that he posted with a Dutch person claiming to have bought the Record no 3. I saved his username and compared his manner of speaking with the Reddit profile and it matches quite well, so I think he did genuinely purchase it. Still, what a tit for the...

For a bandsaw newbie like myself, videos like this are excellent. I definitely agree that we should have a thread on safety filled with videos like this!

It was Peter's video that made me click 'buy' with confidence :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hahah well played! Well I've just had a quick play and I have to say, what amazing fun! One thing I must ask- how does one support the work as it goes through- taking a veneer for example, there's not enough room for a push stick so do you have to push it through by hand exercising caution...

I'm going to have a go with it this morning. I wasn't griping, I guess you come to expect something like that for such a bargain! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't tell you how much of an accurate description that is of my life right now :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the info chaps, most helpful and as I thought, worth a pop for 50p! Bod- the size is 1", measured this morning :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Evenin' all. Have been looking for a decent size bit for the brace I'm borrowing to bore some holes for legs on a stool I am making. I found this at a car boot last week for the grand total of 50p as it was the perfect size. However, having got it home and done a little reading, I don't think...
