everything that guy does is class, i could watch his videos for hours. check out how he used a cheap laser engraver to cut marquetry for an intricate side table.

when i do it i seal the wood first with 2 coats of sanding sealer then cut the design, then paint or stain the board, then sand flush leaving the painted carving and the natural wood outside.

Cut a sign from accoya panel, had to stain the wood as there was an ugly board on the centre of the panel, 3 ft by 2 ft by 2 inch thick

If you want a quiet motor I'd stay away from Jobsite saws, unless it's not a deal-breaker them the new rutlands saw looks ok, similar to the DeWalt but cheaper with a few more features. Charnwood make a smaller tablesaw that I saw a good review on YouTube. My Axminster 10 inch is quiet and has a...

i have this model, pros; quiet, fairly powerful, table is pretty flat. good cut depth, comes with a decent blade. easy to put on a mobile base. cons; fence is awful, i retrofitted my own, riving knife is a faff to set up. dust collection poor and needs your own solution.i didnt get one but have...

i was lucky enough to laminate half inch birch ply flat clamped to my cnc table, i know its dead flat, not sure how you could guarantee flatness without a reference surface

you wont regret the sander, happy sanding..if there is such a thing

mine is m rated as far as i know, it comes with a hepa filter, or its available as an option, the bags are supplied with different ratings i think, this festool forum page explains it better then i can Difference between L and M class dust extractors and i dont need the bluetooth as i plug the...

genius!

heres another video where he improves on the design by adding levelling feet to the cross beams, i love how compact this is when broken down for storage

marius hornberger on youtube has a great setup for slab flattening, his original video on it uses independent rails and bearers directly on the floor, he uses a string method to get them parralell and in plane with the rails, simple and a lot less material to store between uses

the festool ct15 extractor is great, i got it the same time as the festool sander, it currently sells for around 300 pounds, it has a relatively low volume bag, but i use a small cyclone interceptor with it so it lasts ages.

i like thelatches allowing you to remove the box, good job

was just about to suggest this, i watched a video where a guy did exactly that with the outlet near his desk from the apex of the ceiling, he recorded a 10 degree difference in temp before and after, and the 12v fan is very cheap to run.

hope thats strong glue holding them together!

after years of cheap sanders i snapped and got a festool ETS EC150 , it was an arm and a leg...and i think it was worth it .its quiet, comes in a 5mm or a 3mm stroke,stops almost instantly, and works beautifully. there are too many tales of mirka sanders packing up for me to get one, although...

its surprising what you can get from charity shops in the way of old hardwood furniture, of course once you cut out screw holes, joinery, and damage its less but still worth doing, my friend brings me old hardwood pieces he gets from a local tip that people throw away , they seperate out wood...

that kit looks pretty good value for money.

as ollie syas a short course in a makerspace will give you an idea of the process and you can get advice on machines and software, youtube was my entry into cnc, lots of time spent watching tutorials on different channels.

i think your budget is too small for what you are after, if its being used daily in a makerspace id assume at least 6 or 7 thousand for a decent machine. used is a toss up, unless you get lucky, remember unless you have expert knowledge in setup and repair it can be pricey to get it up to a good...
