Thanks guys - it's now been sold to Kitchenfitter.

A pair of almost new Benchdog UK Rail Dogs. I got these on Saturday but cannot get on with them. They have been used a couple of times on test runs in a MFT, they are as new, no marks, scratches etc. Normal price is £19 - https://benchdogs.co.uk/products/festoo ... -rail-dogs I will offer...

That's what I was thinking. I have the same setup as you, the RS CNC MFT top and dogs are really good. I just wanted a couple more dogs. What actually got me looking at other dogs is that I just got some Parf Rail clips on a visit to Axminster. I assumed these fitted all 20mm dogs, but they...

Has anyone used the dogs from Benchdogs.co.uk? They have some interesting products, not just standard dogs. In particular they have rail dogs that bolt to the bottom of a guide rail to stop it wandering. They also have a dog style clamp assembly. I'm looking for some new dogs to expand what I...

Thanks Guys, OK, you've convinced me - a hand plane is an essential bit of kit. I'm looking at the ones suggested earlier and the Axminster Rider series. Hopefully will pick one up this week and get this project moving. I also noticed the RagnBoneBrown video, which was very apt as not totally...

Great, thank you for the links - those two planes look very nice, so I will investigate further. I'd just like to ask - why do you guys suggest hand planes? I know this may sound like heresy, but would a good electric plane not do as good a job (or better)? I'm curious why hand tools are felt...

Thanks Guys, That's given me some things to think about. They're actually joist timber rather than scaffold board so don't have that much patina, but look nice and chunky. So the look I'm after is may be chunky rather than rustic. I got the general idea from the Oxford reclaimed wood centre...

Hi, Not sure if this is the right section for this post, but here goes. I am fairly new to woodworking and have the basic workshop set up with mitre saw, various saws, work bench etc. My first projects have been quite successful, things like drawers and draw fronts have gone very well. The...

Thanks Bodgers, I'll take a look into that today, and probably speak with Axminster as well. Mikejhn - yes, sorry about that. I realised that I'd posted in the wrong thread but there didn't seem anyway to delete the post and enter it into a TS200 thread.

EDIT ======= Looking for some advice on the TS200 fence clamp (version 1). I picked up a second hand TS200 a couple months ago. It's OK but I've not been happy with the fence - as I tighten the handle the fence moves at the far end - usually getting the fence straight. Today I took a closer...

Thank you for all the suggestions - looks like I have a lot of reading and testing to do. Custard - those Mango surfaces look fantastic. I've included a photo of the cabinet top I am creating drawers for. It's a matt/flat satin finish, so I think Osmo PolyX will probably do just fine on it. I...

Hi, I've been watching several YouTube videos by Dave Stanton based in Australia. He has some really good ideas, one of which is how he applies wax to achieve a great finish. He sands to 120/180 and then applies Triple EEE Wax, followed by a sanding with Festool Vlies. The result can be almost...

The Titan Plunge/track saw gets good reviews at Screwfix - https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb673 ... 240v/9257j Peter Millard did a couple videos comparing it to the Festool - it came out very well. https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb673 ... 240v/9257j Not bad for £99 - seriously thinking...

Just a quick update on this. I received no reply from Metabo UK, and the two shops in the Netherlands said they can't ship to the UK. Shame as the Metabo adapter looked like a good solution. In the mean time, I've been able to set the saw so that when down there is plenty of space for the hose...

Thank you very much Nelsun, may be I should have gone with the Metabo as you originally suggested in the other thread :) The Metabo 343438930 looks like it should do the job but may be difficult to get - I have contacted Metabo UK and also found it available at two resellers in the...
