I've found this Veritas item to be a good alternative: https://www.axminstertools.com/veritas-side-clamping-honing-guide-108353

If that tap was fitted 30 years ago then £250 for replacement isn't unreasonable. Is it fitted with copper pipe or flexi pipes? Are there working isolators? Is the sink itself rigid or has part of the mounting corroded away? Any plumber would need to allow for this any more hence quote £250.

Try contacting Burt directly - https://www.burt-group.com.cn/Services_Support/ They may not deal with end users directly but may be worth a shot.

Check the runout with a blade rather than at the arbor so you can see what it is under tension.

Best value all round 1/2" router - Hikoki M12VE - £160-180 Next up - Triton TRA001 Then Makita 2301 (2303 now) Dewalt/Trend have stopped the DW625/T10/T11 which were excellent. The new DWE625/T12/T14 look nice but not impressed with the depth stop so wouldn't recommend, especially not for...

Looking at the various images you've posted: This one shows that the whole guide block is too far to the right, hence the left guide being fully extended and the right guide interfering with the rear guide. With the following picture, unless it is the angle of the photograph, it looks like...

The blade is sitting too far to the front. Move it back so that the thrust guide can sit behind the side guides.

When I had a BS400 I thought it had a motor brake because the blade would stop fairly quickly after a click sound came from the motor. It was only later that I found out that the clicking sound was the centrifugal switch for the start capacitor. In terms of the vibration you are getting, try...

The noise is normal if it is being caused by the belt. The joint isn't always completely flat but I've never found this to affect use of the machine, and this is the same with a range of belts.

I do like the ingenuity of Norris style adjusters, and have a mixture of planes from Veritas and Stanley/Faithfull/other random brands to know that I have no preference one way or another between the Norris and conventional Stanley style. This is because the engineer in me enjoys seeing and...

Lubricating the sole of the plane will help reduce the effort needed to plane if you haven't done this yet. Candle wax, wood wax, wd40 or even 3in1 oil wiped on and off again will make a big difference.

Is this simply the wrong tool for the job? End grain with a large cutter with insufficient power behind it? Try using a conventional bit and see if the issue is still there. I suspect the end grain is causing the large cutting edges to catch and dig in.

I think the T12 won't be suitable for table use if you use a separate switch because of the built in NVR in the T12. The T14 has the remote switch to overcome this issue in table use.

The Faithful no 7 is fine, especially as a starter plane. Once you've got it working well you could change the iron if you want to but it will do everything a plane needs to do and will certainly match the abilities of new upmarket planes as well as used ones.

The Trend T14 has a remote cable to overcome the NVR issue in a router table. Expensive but that may be the only choice for a while unless you can get a non-NVR model from someone that might still have stock.

In the past Record Power used to offer free delivery when buying their large machines at one of the shows (whether dealer or woodworking show). Times might have changed now but it may be worth holding out until you can get to one of them. Saying that, D&M are offering free delivery on the...

Why are you fixated on ordering directly from Record Power? Their products are available through a number of dealers (D&M Tools, Yandles etc.) who have more reasonable delivery charges. The warranty will still apply wherever you buy from. And if you can get to one of their shows you can...

Some photos of the motor and separately the data plate would be very helpful here. I think I asked this the last time you were trying to sort this out. Knowing whether this is a braked motor or not would be a start (I have the 20" Jet which does have a braked motor but don't know whether the...

Faithful no.7 plane and a modern, plastic handled Stanley no.5 plane. They both worked extremely well with only a little fettling out of the box. I have since replaced both their plane irons with ones from Ray Iles and they are lovely. I got these when I started to really get into...
