Drove past the tool shop...didn't go in.

Yet

Mm mm....

Problem is, I've been having dark thoughts about a new router.....

I feel we need a sword of Damocles emoji. It would be well used by the members of this forum.

Having decided that my $149 green makita chop saw had reached the end of its useful life after 4years hard service, I spent several weeks researching a new slide mitre. I say researching but I think...

Elm moves and will always do so. As I type this I have my feet up on an elm coffee table I made nearly 20 years ago. Simple design made from 50 mm thick planks (four planks). It was a sod to plane,...

I use the bandsaw.

I put the fence to the left of the blade, 8-10 mm away and simply pass the dominos through. You're holding onto 40mm of wood so it's pretty safe, but if you're unsteady a fence...

Given it's an outdoor bed unlikely to be ply. Looking at the grain pattern in the photo it's all aligned. I would guess this is made from solid timber.

You just make two cuts with the blank against the rip fence. One vertical, one at 45 degrees. The poke out the remaining bit with a chisel.

start with making the blank, taking off riving knife and raising the blade up through the blank to cut slot.

Then remove blank, Put old insert back and use the table saw fence to position the new...

Check the tables are coplanar.

What you describe can be caused by the outfieed table tilting down away from the cutter head.

Constant outfieed pressure and vibration can cause the outfieed...

That bench is clearly a 'cabinet making school' project.

Turn it upside down then,

Place the 500g weight on the bottom of the plate and tighten the screw until it lifts the plate.

Isn't it just a matter of trial and error. If you place a 0.5kg weight on the right hand side it will hit the bottom of the spring is not screwed in enough or not the case may be.

It wasn't $100 for me, think I paid about$27 in the end. Make sure you've got the ordinary parcel post and not ups.

I bought the rockler one as it was the only one I could actually find in stock and get delivered.
Amazon US shows a few but they were never in stock.

Just used the domino in anger for the first time this weekend making a heap of oak boxes. It was brilliant, the sheer simplicity and ease of use were fantastic.

Blown away by it.

I've got one of the 350w Fein tools and it's brilliant.

My only concern with a cordless version, for me, is that the Fein is something that is invaluable occasionally. I'll find I'm doing a job...

Have a look around for a maktec. Router, they are around the 150-170$ mark but are made by Makita and take a bit of abuse. I had an earlier version of the green Bosch as my first router and it was...

In all seriousness, these are a rip off. They are just a new take on the old Plano clamp and there are loads of plans to make these online. I made a heap for my workshop when I was in business, we...

Oh why did you do that....for the love of God why....

Finally got to play with the new toy today. It is brilliant, I've bought the 10mm bit and the difference between that and a biscuit is vast.

No....no any more, they've changed the design of the systainer, it's got one huge green triangle on the front....

No chance of sneaking that one through

I'd convinced myself that I didn't need one.....until this thread..

No it's not very safe, apart from the exposed cutter, if anything binds or goes wrong you will get a bad kick back.

The while keys flex outwards. They are cut differently to the brown circular keys. It just slides together and the white tabs drop in when it's together.

Hi, I'm on the hunt for a good solid combi. Can you tell me which model it is and whether you have any pics.

It's the opposite......pine dove tails are very forgiving as the wood has a certain amount of give in it allowing you to squeeze the joint together.

Try it in air dried English oak.....
