I fitted one of those from Toolstation about 4 months ago. Not had any problems and use it daily for charging my iPad and phone. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Brian - such shocking news. I only hope that you have family around you to try and help you come to terms with your loss. All the best and stay strong. Andy Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great clip, now he just needs to do something similar for sharpening . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Fantastic job and an awesome result. The difference between what you started with and have turned it into is like an ugly duckling transformed into a swan. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The planer/thicknesser is a Startrite SD310 and if in good condition (with little or no rust ) is worth around £400-£500. Your one is single phase which should make it easier to sell. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The EK version is supplied with the metal kit box (storage box) and fine height adjuster and the same accessories as the EB or basic version. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just started using it for my tools this Winter, so far so good. It sprays on as a fine liquid and even a small can goes a long way. Before this I was using some stuff from Workshop Heaven. Did the job but was a pain to apply, bit like hard paste wax. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

When you are the highest bidder it's sometimes worth contacting the seller and asking him what his reserve is. I've found about 50% are willing to tell you. Andy Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well done, you won't be disappointed. The 352 is around 190cm high and you can't really break it down. What you will be able to do is take the table off - it is held in place on a trunion by 4 bolts (mine are are M6 Allen bolts) and it separates into 2 pieces. You may be able to take the motor...

Thanks for the heads up on the wood drill bits. Managed to get the last one in my local store. Tried them today and am very impressed. Wanted to drill a load of 10mm holes and after using a 4mm pilot for the first one switched to just the 10mm for the rest. Went through easily with no tear out...

Fantastic post. Really useful and informative. Thanks for taking the time to publish such a comprehensive guide. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Assuming you have the blades set correctly then you should be able to get slightly better than 0.4mm, maybe down to .2mm, but not much more. A quick way to check the blades are set correctly (At the same height) is the board should go through the thicknesser in a straight line, i.e not pulled...

If yours is the old style machine with sprockets in each corner they are difficult to source. You can get them in the UK from one of the Metabo dealers but would advise sending them a photo of what you want. They can then contact Metabo to see if they can source them. I paid about £5 per...

Alan hope that your health improves and that the new job works out OK. Like others have said your posts and the work rate were fantastic. I hope you don't take on too much with the new job, please pace yourself and look after your health. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
