    A sad donation.

    "Never forget all gave some, some gave all." Eight words I wish more people in this me-me-me world would take notice of and appreciate.

    Extractor for DW733 thicknesser

    Some years ago I used a SIP 01923 extractor with my EB DH330 thicknesser and it had no problems collecting the chips.

    Why are router usually lifts so expensive?

    I can only speak from my own experiences but router lifts I found to be one of those workshop aids that once you have one you wonder how you managed to get by without it. I don't use the term "gamechanger" very much anymore but having one was definitely that.

    Is this just another scam attempt

    A p*ss-poor delivery company would never wish anyone a great day so it's definitely a scam.

    Labelling system

    I bought the same Dymo label printer that Sachakins linked but second hand for that very purpose. No PC required, print labels as I need them, and much neater than my scruffy handwriting.

    Buying cheapest wood for woodwork practice in the UK

    +1 for sites like Freecycle, Gumtree etc. if the price is free or fairly low, make sure its solid wood though as some people have different ideas on what exactly that is. I've gathered up loads of pine from such places that one day I hope to turn into something useful (very much inspired by...

    How essential is a wood thickness planer?

    A few years ago a friend - who after watching several YT videos wanted to be a part of the chopping board maker crowd - ran a 8 inch width end grain board through his Triton thicknesser and absolutely destroyed both the machine and the workpiece. I wish I still had the photos he sent me of the...

    Dewalt Bs1310 manual

    Is there much of a difference between a Dewalt BS1310 and a Elu EBS3401? To my untrained eye they look similar, maybe these old threads could help (both contain manual links to old models)? https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/elu-ebs-3401-bandsaw.117980/...

    Which nails for nail gun

    Apart from the colour yeah it's similar to that one, I cant comment on the compressor though as I bought it standalone.

    Which nails for nail gun

    I've got a Senco FinishPro 18, runs off a compressor rather than a battery but despite that it's brilliant.

    Sold Festool Domino DF500

    If there were any bids placed and the auction had more than 12 hours left to run a final value fee based on the highest bid amount might still be charged.

    The 5-cut method explained in detail

    That's long been my feeling towards the subject - it's woodworking not precision engineering so just how important are those tiny imperceptible fractions in the grand scheme of things. When building my first crosscut sled I only used a reliable framing square which I felt was all the accuracy I...

    Ebay relisting?

    The seller didn't like the final selling price, if true then seems stupid to start the bidding so low and/or not apply a reserve. The seller got someone to do some shill bidding for them hoping it would raise the final figure (definitely against the rules). The winning bidder changed their mind...

    Amazon Photos: free £15 - what's the catch?

    I just had a read of the T&C's here https://www.amazon.co.uk/b?ie=UTF8&node=22944218031 and from that it appears you need to spend at least £30 on "qualifying items" in order to use the £15.

    Have I bought a tool with a 240v plug but should be 110v?

    Thanks very much for confirming, as I suspected it wasn't what it appeared to be. I'll get it swapped out for something more appropriate and then borrow a transformer to check if it runs, I've no interest in 110v tools so in a way this has made my decision easier about selling/keeping it.

    Have I bought a tool with a 240v plug but should be 110v?

    I bought a Hitachi M12VC fixed base router nearly two years ago online from a well-known shop that buys and sells second hand goods, at the time of taking delivery of it I did a quick on/off test to ensure it worked and then put it away in my storage unit where it remained until last week. As...
