I bought the HMS2600ci around christmas. I never owned nor used a p/t before this. To be fair I think it is a good machine. Ive used it to square the parts for 3 kitchens worth of cabinets doors (2-300 parts), and it has worked just fine. I think the feed rollers for the thicknesser disengage...

I wonder if the 3 hp motor has enough power, or will it just frustrate me?

I bought a fox spindle moulder at christmas for €600 (around £500). I had no experience, but got an experienced joiner to help me set up the machine and give me the practical do's and dont's. My local saw doctor advises me on what tooling to use, and what size head is advisable. He can also...

Id say my scheppach 2600 is around 500mm wide by 1100 long. the only prob is that it must be around 200mm from a wall because of a guard protecting the blind side of the fence

I read that brad was changing alright, but to a wide belt sander. But that does not bother me because I read that drum sanders are only a poormans wide belt (no offence intended), so its probably only a natural progression for him. I can see your point on the 22/44, but I feel that I will need...

Hi have any of you got one of these sanders, and are they any good?

I was looking for ideas on how to build in my tabletop edgebander into a permanent bench, for edging longer panels. I use it quite a lot and have the space to build a bench around 700 * 1500. Any ideas, pictures or advice would be great.

I have a simular makita for about the last 8 years. For four of those years it recievied moderate diy use, and for the last four it has been used alot more, as I am now a kitchen maker/fitter. I have found it to be a great drill, and whats further I have never had to have it repaired. I know...

I have a Lazzari Tema 3200. Sliding arm straight as a die. Great saw

I was considering a wide belt sander. They cheapest ones I could find were around 3.5k and around twenty years old. I have been led to believe that these older ones use alot of air, so I would need another compressor. Another expense is the large extractor required. Does the Jet require a...

Has anyone got or has used the Jet DDS-225 Dual Drum Sander. Just wondering what it was like compared to a wide belt or even other drum sanders.

There is a company near London I have seen on the net, selling a three spindle moulder for making cabinet doors. I think the brand was Ritter USA. Looked good, but I don't think I could stretch the aul finances that far.

Forgot to answer a few I was going to use the bandsaw just to rip the stock overwidth in preparation for the par. I already have a large panel saw, a 3m sliding lazzari, and thought that the bandsaw would be a good addition and variation for my workshop. In time I will prob invest in a rip saw...

I'm of the thinking that the wadkin par four sided planer is a bit safer than a jointer. I would like to think that I could allow a less experienced employee to size stock, and have a more experienced person set the machine. Also the Price of this type of planer is only a couple of k dearer...

Hello, First time poster, long time reader I am a kitchen cabinet maker, and I am thinking of starting to make my own hardwood five piece cabinet doors. I currently subcontract the doors, but no longer want to do this (I have a couple of reasons). To enable me to do this I have to purchase...
