I am currently reconditioning the aformentioned and rather ancient Multico K3. All seems in order, the only real concern is the pinion gear in the head which is missing a few teeth and I am looking into getting a new one machined, any chance someone got a spare?? I am also considering changing...

I have a batch job I am pondering which involves machining mortices in either end of a small piece 160x40x18. the mortices themselves are 40x40x6 forming corner bridles. Hope you have the picture, I have nowhere to host a drawing. (All measurements in MM) I need to be able to churn these out...

I have had a little time to fettle this plane. This is the extent of my toil. Lapped the sole for about 20 minutes until flat enough for my liking, I will finish this at a later date. You will see in the pictures the matt area in the center where the sole is slightly concave. Honed my...

Please see follow up thread "opinion on Grant Toolworks G4" after reading this I am going to keep this brief. Hi res pictures should help you make up your mind as should the next paragraph whilst simultaneously casting me into the wilderness as a savage philistine! This plane will need...

These two sander have identical specs and look very similar. Does anyone know if the DeWalt is a Metabo in drag? The Metabos are all German made, does anyone have a Dewalt D26410 with made in Germany on it? More likely to be PRC I suspect. I hear the Metabo is fantastic and can't imagine the...

My local tool shop is somewhat of an Aladins cave. Every time I am there I always mean (but forget) to ask if they have any old stock on their dusty shelves. Most recently I rememdered and asked after any old shoulder planes laying about. There was some confusion as to what exactly a...

What blades do you use? The negative rake angle required for these saws kind of limits what is available. I have bog standard 24T EB blade as well as a 42T Trend job. Cutting is kind of slow (but safer) without an aggressive rake. I have heard of people using the red Freud pro blades to great...
