Can't believe I waited so long to find this. Indispensible.
Game changer. Liked it so much I bought two! One for the workshop and one for my home tools.
Bought the whole range and these additions make the set very adaptable.
Great piece of kit. Use it nearly every day.
Excellent piece of equipment. Not sure how I got along without it before. Great design, beautifully made. Everyone in the workshop is impressed too: and a little jealous.
Wanted to cut 3-4mm thick maple and walnut wood. The wood height i needed was 15cm,so was done in two passes. This product does the job beautifully just what I was looking for and safety was great.
Very high-quality hose at a good price.
A handy little square in Woodpecker quality.
I got two, one with the plane and one extra. One was very flat, but the other needed ~30 minutes of lapping to get flat. Had to go down to 120 grit, it was out quite a bit. Only has to be done once though, but I'm taking a star off. 😆
Otherwise, they have great edge retention and they get wicked sharp.
Really decent plane, very flat sole, all it needed out of the box was to hone the blade.
It planes everything I throw at it - with the grain, against the grain, upside down, it doesn't care. 😆 I honed the blade to 35 degrees which gives a good balance of finish quality and resistance when planing.
HSS blades are great, I can't tell if HSS or PMV11 lasts longer, there's not much in it , but both take an equally keen edge, I'd be perfectly happy with either.
Adjustments operate smoothly enough, my only two ideas for improvement would be less glossy paint and a looser fit between the blade and the Norris adjuster. Blade used to pull out the adjuster with it, until I sanded the holes in the blade a bit. Oh and the fact that the blade doesn't clear the screw so you have to slide it until the get to the bigger opening. A bit daft, Veritas just has one wide slot and you can just lift the blade out.
But those are minor niggles in an otherwise great tool, so still deserves 5 stars in my mind, especially for the price.
Good all round knife useful for it's intended purpose, when you don't want to move stock when marking up
Probably essential for getting lapping paper down flat.
The pack contains a good range of grits and they certainly work well, my only issue was with getting them to lay completely flat. Even using the roller there were a few spots which were not stuck down.
I was interested to try these, they seem to be flat and make a good alternative to float glass
This is a fantastic piece of kit for fine woodworking. Makes joinery a complete walk in the park. The very in depth booklet and master reference guide is overly complex and is quite daunting at first. However there are a number of YouTube video guides available on the different joints you are able to do. I would still like a digital app version to use with this system. My only gripe is that the Incra project book available seperately for the LS system is only available in imperial so be prepared to convert and modify if you purchase it. The whole system is accurate down to 1 100th of a millimetre and allows repeatability too. Not had it long and havent really scratched the surface. Anybody into joinery and cabinetry I can highly recommend. Just make sure you order the right version, be it metric or imperial. I have mounted mine on a custom marble affect bench and as far as tooling goes, its also one of the prettiest out there. The marbles really sets of the gold lol.
I am still working my way through this and currently on the bandsaw component- which is brilliant. Very comprehensive and easy to follow. I am self taught and it really helps to have a course which doesn't skip the details. Also as a download, I can access it in the workshop which doesn't have Internet. My bandsaw is working a treat and I am now trying the various uses Peter demonstrates. The best course I have ever used - including in person ones.
