It'd be easy to slag this thing, but drat, they are asking for it. Tech guys coming up with an expensive solution for a non-existent or already solved problem. Including an app and always-on connectivity because it's perfectly sensible for your drill to stop working when the servers inevitably shut down.

I got one of those corded Proxxon rotaries from an acquaintance some time ago, practically new. Can't recall from memory which exact model (IBS something I think), but it's been thoroughly OK for something that retails at 80ish euros and is used very occasionally. Also lmao at taking a the tool "advice" of rich guy like Adam "uses a brand-new Kurt vice like an arbor press" Savage seriously.

They're a weird height for sure. Not quite bench height, no quite knee height (where I like to have my saw benches), but something in between? Also, seconding the engineering, it's just a weirdly wasteful design that probably isn't even as strong as a conventional saw bench. Timber framing may use a shitton of big members, but as you work them individually, you won't have more than what, 100ish kg on them at a time? At least that's my experience, built some saw benches after an old episode of the Woodwright's Shop out of 2x4s, and those held up fine chopping out mortises in 6x6 posts with the added weight of me sitting on them too.

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:I think Bosch more than other companies sells a cheaper and lower quality line at the big box stores to compete at that price point and sells their higher quality stuff through more specialty dealers. You can get a $120 Bosch jigsaw at Lowe’s that’s made in China or Malaysia and is fine but not great, or if you look around you can still get a really nice $250 Bosch jigsaw that’s made in the EU. I don't know about the US, but over here in Europe we have basically two flavors of Bosch. The cheaper and fine for most things that come in green, and the more expensive pro stuff that comes in blue. Usually referred to as Bosch green and Bosch blue.

There is a certain market for metal machining precision woodworking machines (ie people with both severe engineer brain and a lot of money). It's not a big market though. For most applications it's just an unneeded expense and/or thing that can break, and most people who actually understand that wood is an inherently unstable material know it's just folly to chase thousands precision. Not to mention that even with handtools you can hit 0.5 mm precision with some practice & experience. edit: beaten like a cheap chisel

If you go back a few years one topic that came up constantly with regards to table saws (at least the ones with a price tag most mortals can actually afford, not second mortgage SCMs) is that fences rarely locked down parallel reliably. Still an issue probably on most cheaper ones. In a field where everything is cost-engineered to meet a certain price tag features like servo control are a pipe-dream outside the industrial production machines KS mentions where it is a hard requirement.

I'd liken the "buy a battery, get a tool for free"-scheme more to printer companies and inkjets than disposable razor companies, but it certainly has lead to a rash of increasingly questionably useful cordless tools whose purpose seems to be largely generating revenue instead of fulfilling a genuine need.

HolHorsejob posted:Can anyone recommend good needle files? Not top of the line, but a good & reasonably affordable brand. Bahco and Pferd do good files at reasonable prices, though I have no idea if those are available in your neck of the woods. Vallorbe/Grobet needle files are the tits, and at least their saw files are (or at least were when I last bought some), quite reasonably priced.

I can't in good conscience use anything but slotted screws to install hinges etc. on actual wood furniture. Anything just doesn't look right.

I forget where it was, but I've seen people use a power planer to do the rough flattening of glued up assemblies like table tops. Traversing with a jack plane basically, except powered.

That's the video I was thinking of, but when I said jack plane, I meant exactly that. Scrub planes are a tad too narrow and short for my liking when it comes to flattening rough sawn boards or assemblies.

Liquid hide glue is just regular old hide glue with some additive (urea typically, or salt) to lower the gel point so it's liquid at lower temperatures, say 40ish C instead of 60C, at the cost of some final strength and shelf life. Titebond uses some weird poo poo instead to make it liquid at room temp (apparently) which may or may not affect reversibility, transparency to finishes, or strength. There's a PDF floating around somewhere on W. Patrick Edwards site I think with the nitty gritty if you're interested in mixing up your liquid hide glue. Or just buy Old Brown Glue, which is just hide glue with some urea mixed in for you.

Flattening big stock is just impossible without a 4x8 CNC router. Or any stock really. Who needs a jointer and thicknesser when you can use a CNC?

Those Hammer combo-machines always intrigued me, Felder means the quality ought to be decent. Pity I don't have any doctors/dentists selling workshops for pennies on the dollar near me to find out.
