LOL... just like wearing custom made face masks..... for anyone who was in, or still in, the military.. did you every have your respirator on (in case of an attack), and your mate farted into it... if you could smell anything then the gas mask was useless..

Thats spot on and given me an idea

thanks :)

Hmmmm, I'd need to buy the plate and the drill bits...

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to find a dowel plate, so that I can make my own dowels. I've searched the Outernet and can't find anything suitable. I understand that it is basically a thick metal plate with several holes, you cut your wood to slight bigger than the hole then hammer your wood...

Yea, it’s pretty good

Yup, I’m removing all the nails lol

Yes, that makes more sense, easier than trying to get it on the bench

Thanks everyone, much appreciated

Thanks Tom, would using circular saw, foam board look easiest and quickest option

Hi Everyone, I've been reading about cutting larger pieces of boards directly on top of the work bench. Some sort of foam board is placed underneath the wood board to be cut but I'm not sure exactly what board to buy? My workbench is approx 5ft x 2ft Any guidance gratefully received. G.

Aha, I reread the instructions and it shows the wrong picture to the instructions, bit confusing for an auld git like me

Yes, that’s it, great, much appreciated

Thanks James, I'll take another look tomorrow. The instructions indicate that it is at the back of the machine although... instructions are in black and white so wondering if the arrow is actually pointing to the front of the machine....

Hi There, I took the plunge and bought the Excel one but the instructions are not too clear. Can you tell me how I raise the blade for the Jointer? Much appreciated Ta G

I may just take a punt on it then

Thanks... don't think I'll bother.. I'll wait and save my pennies and buy something better

Evening All Has anyone purchased the Excel Planer Thicknesser and if so, would you recommend it? I'm looking for may first machine, mainly to clean up pallet wood so something light and portable would be ideal. Ta G.

Thanks for the reply. I had a little play around and I have it working.... need to perfect it though lol

Hi Everyone I’ve been given a Katsu Handheld milling cutter, is this the same as a router? Just tried it out and I’m not comfortable with it at all. Is it easy to use if I persevere? Ta G
