hello all!! So, Bob!! how is it sawing? did your BS400 settle in alright? after a long back and forth I went for the.........N4400. I had to dig deep for that one and with the help of some retraining funds I could afford the one I really wanted. just waiting for sparky to install the leads for...

Hi all! I also did catch a bit of Peter Seftons block plane sharpening/presentation of the new WoodRiver block plane. good to see you Peter! Had to tell a friend at college about them blockplanes as he is looking into buying one at some point. when will you get them online? personally I have a...

:-)

I'll accept your invitation. only not sure where you live. thought you said sheffield but your data says hampshire. opposite directions from leamington. either way, if i'm in the neighbourhood, I'll give you a bell. cheers.

cool! good for you Bob!! congrats!!!! I'm sure you'll enjoy it massively. please let me know how you are getting on with it. especially if the machine manages the 1" blade well. how long to deliver? cheers, Philipp

i'm not so good with the quoting I think......

I think I'm going to attend the Kidderminster RP road show tomorrow as I can see the 352 standing next to a BS400 and really visualise the differences. Its a 2 hour drive for me but I don't want to (fruit of your choice) this up. any news?????

I'll have a look into it Wallace. cheers.

so Bob, did you go down to kidderminster?

really? why did my sparky said I would? I'll look into it. still somehow I am tending towards a new machine...

I meant if you could get the 401E for the same price as the n4400.

@Rob haha!!!!good one! if I'd get this one, I'd dig a river next to it with a water wheel to fit the picture. make sure the 352 is really there. I spoke to Dave at kidderminster and he said that there will only be RP machines, no startrites. wouldn't want you to waste 4 hours of petrol.

hi Peter. thanks for your comment. funny we meet again on the forum. remember me? the austrian who came to see you at your school with my pregnant wife about a year ago? never mind if not. austrian, yes, thats another reason the hammer attracts my attention. are you saying you've got both the...

Rob, I'm with you there on the 1phase boat. my workshop is 2,4m by 5,5m. dus not worth going for that kind of level. the only upgrade i can afford and in my opinion is sensible, is a one phase 16-32 amp arrangement. the other thing is, and that is the reason I wanted to push for a 1inch blade, a...

hi Bob. thanks for the spread sheet. good to see everything lined up like this. I saw the bs400 at the Tewkesbury show last week and for a while I thought thats the machine I'll get. I think it is very good value for the money, and the show offer is £899. this week the RP show is in...
