I forgot to add, congratulations on reaching the 1,000 Subscriber milestone!

Nice comparison, and I'm not surprised you picked the KM over the Chinese copy of the Veritas guides. I had the Veritas guides (with saw) from Lee Valley, and had the opportunity to use them, along with the David Barron and KM guides in a dovetail course. The David Barron guides have very fine sandpaper on the surfaces that contact the wood, and it was easy to hold the guide in place. Also, the rare earth magnets in the David Barron guides are larger than the magnets in the Veritas or KM guides. I got rid of my Veritas guides and bought a set of the David Barron guides. The problem you identified with the Chinese copies of the Veritas guides exist with the original Veritas guides if used as you did, and as I did when I tried to use my Lie-Nielsen saws. The saw Veritas includes as an option with the guides does not have a top frame and the magnets in the guides held the saw firmly on the guide. The lack of a frame eliminates the reduced depth of cut.

I guess their thinking was that with guide edges and magnets working for you, a stiffened back becomes less important and a thinner kerf much more useful? PS sorry for 2nd post but I can't edit my initial message 🤪 PPS what's that green thing attached to the top of your sustainer stack??

You are awesome man. I have the KM version and have always been happy with it. Seems like the barrier to break through to a hundred thousand subscribers has gone way up. Your content is excellent and so understated. Please don't give up. Where are you in the UK? Try to make it there once a year. Should be in St. Anne's Lytham in early October.

I have the same hongdui guide. The problem you described is a thing. Although as a hobbyst if I have to use a guide once a month I can live with that. Its still easier than cutting dovetails freehand.

Tbink you just had ine if a bad batch. My Veritas guide is spot on and as good as I can sharpen freehand I like the consistency the guide gives every time. Full marks to Veritas for sorting it out👍

Fajny kubek ;)

Because of your presentation here, I finally accomplished something today--discovering the difference between Fisch's "Wavecutter" and "Black Shark Pro" and simply "Black Shark." Now I understand Black Shark to be essentially a more recent and refined version of the "Wavecutter" line. Please correct this understanding in reply if I am wrong. I spent a good amount of time "surfing" in CZcams to discover this difference which was not even presented at "FISCH®-Tools Product Demo 2020" where the Black Shark line was introduced as "another one of our products is …" Despairing of finding any available small set imperial versions of "Wavecutter," I now feel no apprehension in purchasing a small "Black Shark" set, even if it is not "Black Shark Pro."

You just explained my problem! I couldn't figure it out and thought it was my fault. Now I know I didn't do anything wrong. Thanks!

What would have been useful is an actual accurate measurement of their accuracy and slop factor from the play in the slides.

I use a grinder with a coarse wheel for the primary bevel. I grind as close to the edge as I can without grinding to the edge, so the angle and grit have no impact on the edge. By getting, and keeping, the secondary bevel very close to the edge, honing the edge goes very fast. I use the Veritas guide for honing plane irons because edge geometry, sharpening efficiency, and final sharpness are important to me. But now that I only use a guide for the secondary bevel, any decent guide would do. Chisels I hone by hand by hand because geometry is not critical, the edge is short, it takes less time, and chopping dovetails and tenon shoulders dulls my chisel rather quickly.

I tried ash and had it milled to 7/16(11mm) x 7/16, I had to start with the 12mm opening and work it down to 10mm and 9mm which is what I wanted. They were (71mm) 28 inches in length and would oscillate and break off so it's best to keep them shorter in length.

I'm glad Veritas sorted out the problems you were having with the honing guide. Sharpening tends to be a contentious topic for woodworkers. When I'm asked for the best method, I respond with "whichever method gives you the best results. Pick one and try it." I use the Lie Nielsen honing guide and have never had any problems with it. Unlike the Veritas honing guide, the LN guide clamps chisels and plane irons from the sides, as did the early Eclipse guides. My bench planes get the 25-degree primary bevel using the Tormek, then four passes over the 800 grit water stone to establish a narrow 30-degree secondary bevel, and finally two or three passes over the 10,000 grit water stone for a 35 degree tertiary bevel. I was trained by the late David Charlesworth on this method, and it works well for me.

Good to hear about the good customer service by Veritas. I have two of these as well and have not experienced this problem. One thing I do know is that even with the wide roller, pressure still matters. It's not a 100% guarantee that you will get a square edge. If you put slightly more pressure to one or the other side, you can still skew it a little (not saying that was the case with you, just that even with a 100% perfect model, squareness is not guaranteed, you need to put pressure evenly).

I just got my Laguna F2 and this is going to be one of the first things i want to upgrade, but like many people i don't want to drill into my fence. I appreciate your video!!

Thank you for this video. I'm new to CNC and Fusion 360, planning to buy one machine for guitar building. Seeing the complete process, just like you presented it, gave me a lot of valuable information. Thank you!

The drip out from the gun after using will that eventually stop dripping by itself or is there a way to draw that glue back a bit like you would a caulk gun?

excellent presentation, easy to use. I have one and now I can also use it. Thanks

Stl or didnt happend

The candyman lol nice

👍 "PromoSM"

Hello how long do the blades stay sharp? how often do you need to change?

Nice job. Would have enjoyed your video more without the music though.

8:42 hey Dominik ricker

great video buddy thanks for sharing

Thank you for the video tour, Paul! I missed going this year, so I will have to wait until March 2026 for the next event. At 4:28 you asked about the bars on the RUWI table. These are attachment points for table extensions. The RUWI table on that Optimum drill press is about €850 as you saw it. The extension tables are €200 each, so it is a premium bit of kit.

Laguna has a video showing this exact feature.

Hello. Are you still happy with it a year later ? I would definitely be interested in hearing your thoughts after you used it for a while, I have a small workshop, a small budget and I make small things too so I am wondering if this would be the jointer to go with, I don't want to buy one of the crappy 2-300€ models and I can't really afford a massive one.

Bad to the bone

What is a rooter ? Is it something you use to remove roots from a plant / tree /shrub ?

Maybe I am way off here, but I would have design it to fit into the miter slots so you had less directions to push. You would only have had to push forward. For router table , removable miter tracks.

Nice video and I am just waiting for my Fusion 3 to get through the Suez Canal. Did I notice your fence lift a bit when you pushed the wood through ?

Aren't these box joints and not dovetails?

U saved me 🙏🏻 thanx buddy - I started pulling on the lever and it didn’t feel right so ran a search and found U 😊

good job 👍

I had a bowed scale too and got it replaced. The replacement is a lot more flat, but still not entirely flat. I gave up because I'm using it for woodworking but it made me a little disappointed

Nice video mate. Rj_rawcreations.

Thanks. I put mine together almost all the way-but wanted to see if anyone else had interpreted it in a slightly different way. Interesting that we say in the US spline with a hard i, i.e., eye, not ee. I had bought a jig from Rockler made of mostly plastic-and it is not very good. Too much wobble in the tracks. It is for the router-and did not make very good cuts. I hope the Woodpecker model does much better.

I had a set of Bosch Forstner cutters that I thought were good. It didn't take long before I was burning a hole in the wood instead of cutting a hole. A few years ago, a friend let me borrow his Fisch wave cutters, and I thought I heard angels singing when I used them. I bought a set of the wave cutters from Dictum in Munich, and love them. The Black Shark Pro cutters you have were not available then, else I think I would have bought them instead.

Great video! I don't have a dowel cutter, but have needed a plug cutter for past projects. Which plug cutter set are you using? I might be wrong, but I thought the plugs and dowels were for different uses and not always interchangeable. I would use the plug where it can be seen, and hopefully with matching wood and grain pattern. I would use the dowel where it can't be seen, such as joining wood together. However, I take your point about making a long dowel and cutting it into smaller sections for use as plugs.

I heard that. 🤣 10:35

I got one from Banggood for when I need the long length of dowel.

I don't think it matters as long as you're consistent

dommage que l'on ne voit pas son utilisation.

I had bought one of these jigs and was wondering how to fit the wood into the chuck. Lo and behold you pop up! Great video, clearly presented and explained. Thank you and subscribed.

Great video very informative ❤ i use a plug cutter for fine work

Really well presented…..appreciate your work.

Hi nice video lm thinking of getting one. Did the price include delivery l live in the UK and did you have to pay any import duty. Bought a Triton TSPL152 planer but setting it up yesterday has alot of faults which lead me to believe it won't plan with any degree of accuracy which kind of defeats the purpose of it. Gone past the 30 day return period but hoping to return it. You mention in the comments you've had other machines do you have any experience of the Triton. Thanks

Hi, Your video is very nice. Your Thumbnail is very Attractive. but there are some problems for the reason you not getting views and subscribers. That means not getting good result.

Great😍😍 I recommend your video not be optimized but that video quality like good can you improve your video views as soon as possible thanks
