Nice one. Wish I'd started doing it sooner. A small workshop can start to feel quite dingy pretty quickly without whitewash. Not to mention claustrophobic...for me anyway 👍

That's the standard way, yeah. Can give you chip out on the back face though due to the up cut. Not always an issue on a back face but the idea of the score cut is both faces perfect. Also handy for clean sink cut outs and whatnot too.👍

Thanks mate. Yeah, longer piece can sure help balance things out👍

I got mine from Ooznest. They will also 3d print a 43mm spacer / collar for you to fit the drill or Mafell motor. They also stock aly profile and fixings and deliver worldwide. They're very helpful so contact them if you have any doubts/questions before ordering

Cheers mate. The mft thing is handy. I can't have a lot on the walls but clamps are a must. 👍

😁👋

I'll check my links at some point to make sure they're current. For aluminium profile extrusion, I'm sure you'll be able to a Finnish supplier. For linear rails, good deals can be found on Banggood or Aliexpress.

The Hongdui gauge and fence are exceptional. And are unique, not rip offs of N American R&D. Incra have stood still for 20 years. Plenty of time to refine these products but chose not to. Obsession is a strong word. It's not obsession, more that Chinese manufacturers have "arrived" now. They've moved beyond cheap knock offs (though those are still available) and - as is the case with companies like Hongdui - are creating unique, exquisitely made and, compared to the West, reasonably priced tools and accessories. Sure, China has engaged in blatant coppying, reverse engineering and industrial espionage even. But that's nothing new and, let's not pretend western companies haven't made out like bandits from the cheap manufacturing offered by China! You can still buy genuine N American if that's your preference as I can buy British. In the end though, I couldn't give a shit where something's from. If it's good and assists me in producing quality work, I'm for it. I have many tools from the US, Britain (of course), Japan, Canada, Australia and Germany. I am pleased to be able to add China to that list personally.

No problem. I think most of what you need to know is shown in the video, even if you can't understand all the English. I'll try and help if you have any questions. Post any question as a separate comment as then I'll get notified.👍

The Hongdui mitre gauge has a standard 19mm (3/4") bar.

That's the spirit😁🙌

The Mafell motor isn't suitable for drilling and sanding. It's too fast, even on its slowest speed. What you can do is use the mafell for you milling and routing tasks then, swap the motor for a corded percussion type drill. These drills have the same 43mm collar as the mafell so will fit in the same mount. They also have a lock-on function which is useful for drilling and sanding. They're not too expensive either. If you search for my "drill stand" videos (2 parts) I show it with both this type of drill (From Bosch) and with the mafell 👍

Cheers. Just looked at the shinwa. They make some great, affordable layout tools. Using Cos would 've been cool but I like my fixing bar (That makes the bevel a triangle) adjustable either end for best/secure locking. If it had a fixed pivot one end, you could certainly use the cosine rule to work/mark out angle indication. 👍

Thanks Ian 👍

Aw 😂 Thanks mate. It's funny - 8 had a quick search of clamp racks to look at ideas on YT. It's something many over complicate. Basic is best sometimes.👍

😁 Cheers 👍

Cheers. So n8ce to do something quick and simple...and useful!👍

Thanks! Where to begin would be a long comment. This machine has been upgraded quite a lot since (see video link for updated version below). I plan to service it soon and when I do, I'll try and create a cut list/plans for it which might help👍 czcams.com/video/pH54j7TR9O8/video.html

Cheers!😁

As good as a break mate😁

Nice one 👍

It's got 95 degrees of movement, so it can sit parallel to the normal or parallel to the rail - even 5 degrees of undercut. I made it mainly for the mitres on chair components. Especially the seat pieces. To cut them at the mitre saw, they'd hang out the front, unstable. Also difficult to mill on my over-router. A breeze on the mft though👍

😁 Appreciated, cheers👍

Nice one. You mean the racks or the angle thing? If the angle thing, i have a build video for it in my "aluminium profile in the workshop " playlist 👍

@@BischBaschBosch I meant the rack for now. I will have a look at the angle thing video later. At the moment I'm just trying to get organised in my workshop 😂😅

@@wonkycutsworkshop Oh, nice one. 👍

Thanks mate👍

Thank you so much! They're so easy to make like this and are strong and functional. What's not to like?😁👍

😁 Cheers!

Cheers. It was nice to something so straight forward tbh 👍

😁Cheers Karl.

Party on dude🎸🤘

😂 Thanks 👍

Nice one.👍

Cheers mate.👍

Cheers mate👍

I'd love to white wash the walls and give the floor a coat of something but I rent it, so can't. If it were mine, first thing I'd do would be to level the floor and skim it so it's smooth. It's rough as blx - nightmare for the benches!

Thanks. It's a neat addition for me. Useful for all sorts.👍

Thank you😉

Thank you very much mate! In case you couldn't find the mft angle thing vid: czcams.com/video/49_XzNBOHh4/video.html 👍

Cheers buddy. Yeah, they look alright I think👍

Appreciate it 😁👍

I value it mate! The algorithm? It values nothing and has an insatiable appetite...but we must feed it!😉👍

@@BischBaschBosch It doesn't even care what it eats...which is a good reason for this comment too!

Feeding that algorithm, storage solutions, never a wasted project 👍

Thanks bud. Love a bit of reuse👍

Thank you! Someone actually watched til the end🙌

Cheers mate. Appreciated. So true for the workshop - simple, functional. I do put a bit more effort into the workbenches though as they're multifunction and take a hammering!😁👍

Nice! A flash of Festool green would look a bit weird in mine - don't have any festool😂

@@BischBaschBosch Mafell red or Bosch blue then👍

@@davidhull2060 Do have the odd little red trinket here and there - levers, knobs and such. Not that I want vanity to take over but found myself wondering recently if there's a white Hamerite...the teal blue of my itec planer has become an eyesore!😂🤦‍♂️

Cheers. They are a bit rubbish. Mine just lives on the tripod feeding juice to the camera. Useful for that. Not much else.👋

If I remember right, one of the dewalts has a 19mm slot, the other a 24mm slot. If you have a 19mm, the Hongdui gauge would fit fine. If you have the 24mm slot, i don't know. 5mm is a lot of gap to fill with nylon screws. You might be better off fitting the Hongdui gauge to the dewalt mitre bar🤷‍♂️

Cheers dude. Could you feel my pain on this one John?😁

@@BischBaschBosch 😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh yeh!!!!

I was very close to admitting defeat tbh. Glad I didn't! Yeah, exactly. It's what I have to do turning dowels on the over-router too - knock of the edges, then work in slowly. 👍
