And here's why your logic is wrong: I wasn't working on contingency for anyone when the testing was done and the report was written. It was not discussed with Liogier until after that. Even then I had to convince them that there would be enough interest. When the petition got to 500 signatures...

You still banging on about that 6 years later? You need to get your facts straight bud, before you spew out ill-informed opinions. Yeah, you took some heat from the original poster...AFTER you put out more than plenty of your own. And who was it again that was motivated enough to start a thread...

There's a caveat there Stewie.

I have read that the Nich files made in the USA towards the end weren't much cop either. Don't know how true that was. The point being that if it is true then "Made in USA" for those latter day files means nothing. That then can create potential problems for people buying NOS files marked "Made...

There are some terminology clashes there. A 3-Sq file is an Engineers file (i.e. double cut) which does not have the edges cut. Therefore the edges are sharp and these files are for getting into corners to clean up. This means that they will not yield a rounded gullet. Also, because they are...

I'm afraid that is the truth and the reality. Unless we can get some new ones made then needle files will be it, for decent files. Old stock will not last forever of course. Japanese style are the wrong shape for Western saws, but they make a helluva file. I received some prototype 60° files...

Funnily enough I have just had contact (minutes after posting). I also discussed new files. They will not be made by Liogier, but negotiations are continuing (out of my control at the moment). I know those F.Dick files Pedder. They have a black ink logo - straight from India. The only Portugal...

Trying to place a large order (~€2000) with Liogier, but it's not so easy these days. I just cannot get an email response from them. I have a few addresses that I've tried, Facebook, Skype. Nothing works. Anyone else had difficulties, or know what is going on?

True, but when it comes to woodworking prices the Aussies are KING. Have a look at our Festool prices: http://www.festool.com.au/ (particularly accessories). A$ is about €0.70, and those prices only include a 10% GST (VAT) The prices are so high that the Kapex price didn't change for about 5...

Good work Bill ! Thanks very much for your efforts there. They have exclusive Euro rights on it. The price inc VAT is actually more than here (somehow) but pre-VAT is $392, so with shipping will sadly be more than here. Anyway, a good sleuth job.They talk about developing it with MLCS, and so...

At the end of the day, the new motor only that has been released would be the most satisfactory solution by far, provided it isn't Chinese noisy (highly likely) and is reasonable build quality (hmmmm). Really, I'm just trying to find a source that doesn't have the unofficial "Australia Tax"...

Indeed. Mine has been good as well. I find the lift mechanism "okay" but a little coarse - there are times when the lifting goes "chunk" and a radical downwards movement is the result - that's what appeals so much about the hand wheel mechanism of the Jessem table - fitted with with an...

Yes, we pretty thoroughly investigated spindle motors. They seem to be too long or too fat or too skinny (or all three :-). Even looked at three phase jobbies with a VFD (cost gets a bit crazy). The idea of a water cooled one looks good at face value, but I really don't fancy water and sparks...

I've got a Triton under-table now Roger, but i want something to fit into a router lift, and they mostly will only accept motor-only. Anyway, two things: China is now the home of Triton, and from what i have read the chances of getting a dud these days seem to be rapidly increasing. Judging by...

Unfortunately - nope. Bosch outsmarted themselves. We were on to the Bosch over here when it was first released here about a year ago. Quite excited we were. However, one of the guys who bought one is a sparkie and there is a system that prevents the motor from working when removed from the...

Has anyone in the UK seen an 1800 watt router motor only for sale? There has just been one released onto the Aussie market and I very much doubt that it is just for our tiny market. That makes me think that it must be available in the UK/Europe. You can see it here...

Nah, nah, nah, don't get excited. I am still in the process of getting a new type of file made, but there are very few manufacturers who are capable of producing to spec (maybe 2 or 3). I've heard absolutely nothing from one of those manufacturers for 6-8 months, and the other is just far too...
