What tool did you buy today?

[BearTricks]

Not that it's always easy to tell but that looks identical to my wooden jointer.

Do you get good use from it, BearTricks?

Thought I would teat myself today so bought a Sorby Pro Edge and a Kreg pocket hole jig

I actually didn't use it until a few days ago. I sharpened it up then used it to flatten a bit of beech for a shelf. I used a Stanley 4 1/2 to finish and smooth. It's a fairly good plane. I think I got lucky.

Not woodie, but received Axy clearance QC toolholder for the S7. Fits perfectly, so tried to order 3 more today, but they'd only got 2 left! So hard luck any other metal manglers.

the new fein is rubbish, ive killed 2 of them motor burnt out, on both on top of that the new anti vibration body gives a drop in accuracy. while waiting for my fein to come back i bought a worx f30 WOW blows the socks of every other multitool on the market. or so i thought until i found out the f50 they make has a 5 degree angle of oscillation, i use them to undercut 20m of 20mm thick pitch pine without stopping,, the fein couldnt handle it, the worx eats it up.

check out the video of how fast they cut on youtube

That's interesting as I only this month bought a Fein. Not had any of the same issues though thankfully! Out of interest, what were you using it for that managed to burn the motor out twice?

Great news! As I also have stumped up £200 for one. After a Bosch it was impressive. I don't think I'll be ripping any 20m lengths of pine with it so it'll probably last.

You must be dead unlucky

I think the 350 is a great tool. I got one a year ago ,used all year in a trade environment and still as new. They cut faster than my old 250 that I had years. They're quieter and have less vibration.

I compared the Festool vecturo , fein supercut and the 350 multimaster at the d & m tool show and even though it was the cheapest the multimaster was better.

I've been very pleased with mine so far too. I've not owned a multi-tool before, just had old sanders and a jigsaw that my dad passed on to me. This has been great, mainly due the lack of vibration! It's nice being able to still feel my arm after using it for more than 5 minutes haha. I've only used of for a few things so far (re-boarding the loft, building some shelves and sanding down joinery for re-painting) but it has been brilliant on all fronts.

My only gripe has been with one of the attachments I bought for it, the Fein 100mm circular wood saw blade. I found as the teeth were completely straight, it creates a lot of friction as you cut through wood which creates a bit of smoke and burn marks on the wood. Anyone else had this?

With multi tools you need to really make sure you set the right speed. If not they will burn and blunt the blades very fast.

I don't think it would be too difficult to create a small set on it. Put the blade in the vice and put a screwdriver between 2 teeth and twist, then move on around the blade.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go. It does seem odd that every other 'wood' blade that Fein do comes with a set on the teeth and this one didn't.

Sixteen n.o.s. Sandvik small saw files for £4.
Four tenons and a dovetail saw await me. No more excuses. :roll:
On examination, they weren't Sandvik, they were Stubs and Oberg.

I bought a knew concepts 5" fret saw.... its now 00:51am monday and it should arrive in 10 hours...

Sadly I'll be at the barbers with my kids getting ready for tuesday and their first day back at school.

Hi James, Happy New Year to you.

Next tme you need something to put glue/sealer/anything into small places, if you have a 'WORKS' stationary shop up there, you can get a set of 6 small brushes for £2. I find them ideal for small work. Also the coffee sticks that Costa have make good glue spreaders.

Be very careful !! If its like the semi circular blades fein do it will shatter if you try that. They are quite brittle
