    Chisels n planes help!

    I used to be a regular here, left when the constant arguing over new / old, cheap / expensive, how to sharpen etc. got on my nerves. Glad to see nothing’s changed. [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY] I’ve got chisels of each type and they all work great when setup right and used with care and a bit of...

    Wowsers, that’s a beast. I work in a cellar and nearly killed myself getting the 1628 down the stairs! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Lathe advice required

    Hi Yorkie, sorry about the reasons why you’re doing this. I have an AT1416vs - it’s a great lathe, liked it so much I bought a 1628. My daughter begged me to keep the 1416, tried it a couple of times and lost interest. If you’re interested in a little used 2nd hand one then PM me...

    Router advice

    I have a trend t11, I found it too big and cumbersome for some hand held operations, it lives in my router table and is great. I have a draper, couple of different bases, still big but more manageable than the trend. I have a katsu it can't do everything but it's the handheld router I use for...

    Band saw Blade drift

    Like most, I have wider blades for straight cuts and narrower blades for curves. When the wide blades are sharp, right no. of teeth for the stock width, proper feed rate, I get no drift. Try and cut a straight line with a blade I've used for curves and there's no chance. Sent from my iPad...

    Axminster AT1416VS any thoughts?

    I've got one, it's good. Decent size bowls without a massive footprint. The finish is a bit rough in places but it's accurately built and robust which is a lot more important. I currently have mine on the wheeled stand they sell for it and it's stable but could do with more mass. However...

    Supplier of Pen Kits

    Anyone else used these guys? The bolt action pen prices look a little too good to be true, what's the quality like? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    Alright, just tell me which chuck to buy.

    Another vote for the axminster chucks, I have a few 100 and 114 now and several sets of jaws, is good that they all work on all my chucks. If there are specific jaws from other manufacturers that you want to use then axminster sell mounting jaws for the other big brands. I have the sorby pen...
