Too expensive for my shop. I will make my own. Sorry Knew, but have priced yourself out of a market.

I've just bought a Verum/Luban 5½ from Woodworkers Workshop, as I wanted to try a Bedrock type in comparison to my (largely 1920-1950) Stanley Bailey's. Took very little to fettle the edges of the cap iron & chip breaker - maybe 10 minutes in total with #300 then #1000 diamond stones. Iron itself took maybe ten minutes to bring to where I wanted it - very flat as delivered & the Charlesworth ruler method fine tuned the back. If I have time tomorrow, I'll be trying it out against a fully sorted Stanley, with Ray Iles thicker blade. Doubt I'll ever replace my #6 & #7 Stanley's as they've been sorted to the best of my ability & this will likely end up being my go-to for shooting board use.

Greed makes people do stupid things. Changing the finish made this product not worth the money. I was planning on buying one. Now I will buy something else that makes sense.

Thanks for your time and effort, you’ve definitely answered some questions for me in my table saw upgrade pursuit. My only remaining question is how mobile is it or could it be? I’d likely need something like this on castors or a trolley base.

Don't know if you'll see this Matthew but may as well ask anyway... in thicknessing mode, does your bed ever drop a little (not much but noticeable by eye) when you feed the wood in, then goes back to where it should be? doesn't seem like it should be doing that, now, I usually always leave my workpieces long incase of snipe so its not a massive issue but just thought I'd ask if you had come across that issue and if you could suggest a fix. I have this exact model

@MatthewSmall 3 ай бұрын

@IvanWizard-Karl yes is the short answer. I don't think you can avoid it either as the attachment point at the centre of the bed effectively acts as a fulcrum when you push a piece of wood in. I have managed to reduce it by adjusting the tension on the rollers, but haven't managed to eliminate it. I don't think it really matters though as long as it's only tilting in the long axis of the bed and not actually moving down at the centre of the bed. That way, it isn't changing the distance between the bed and the circular cutter and the angle of the bed is irrelevant. If the bed is either moving up and down at the centre or tipping side to side, that's an issue that will show up in the wood and needs to be fixed. Measure all four corners of a work piece and if they're all the same within your allowable tolerance, don't worry about it. Realistically the only points yhamatter are the bits where you're cutting joinery.

@@MatthewSmall I thought the same as you, that it did not matter if the bed tilted end-to-end as long as it pivoted under the cutter block and remained the same distance away however I have been trying to eliminate very slight snipe on my cheaper Axminster hobby version and my conclusion is that it is due to the issue of the bed tilting as described by @Ivan because if I brace the bed at each end the slight snipe is almost eliminated. I think this may be because the pivot point is not at the level of the bed but lower down in the lifting mechanism and on that basis when it tilts the centre would raise ever so slightly. I am ready to hear that my analysis is wrong!

Nice review, I'm looking into a new table saw now and I've read that on the w650 that the writhing knife is difficult to remove for blind cuts, have you found that to be the case with this saw?

Your video is a few years old now. Are you still happy with this knew? Is it the 125mm version ? What type /thickness of sawblades do you use for this kind of dovetail work? I now still use chisels for dovetails but I'm looking at a fret saw too for a longer time. It think it's a nice time saver

Out of your whole video I liked the most the part about Delux brace. As I checked it's got a three jaws mouth, however the store claim that it accepts square shank bits. Have you tried that? Do really square shank bits work in 3 jaws?

@pipepuffah6548 11 ай бұрын

I've owned my selection of fret and coping saws from them for some years now and I bought them for their performance not for ogling at wistfully. They are IMO the best on the market ( when you have the blade on the pull stroke and not push as I noticed you did)

@genecarden780 11 ай бұрын

It you are judging a tool by a totally irrelevant difference between powder coating and anodizing. You are a moron. ( I’m not directing this at you specifically) Aesthetics are important, but function far more so. You have zero knowledge of what it costs to produce a quality tool like this. If they decide to slightly ( and I do mean slightly) “ cut corners” to save the consumer in the long run, I’m all for it. The fact is you used it for the most mundane of purposes. Try using it for inlay or intarsia. It is so far above the competition it is ridiculous If the powder coating gets chipped so what. It is aluminum it will be fine.

I've just bought this machine from Kendal Tools & it managed to cut 5/8"(16mm) mortises in 110x50mm stock, using the supplied chisels. Yes, they need sharpening but I've not the tools to fully sharpen them, so I'll be picking up some top line ones whilst over in the US (BIG price difference for the same chisels...) Apart from the doors on the access to the chuck (one broke off on first opening), it appears well built & rather than use the stops, I always cut the end lines & manually align. For the price, I'm impressed with the build quality & speed of cutting, especially compared to cutting 36 70mm deep,16mm mortices by hand.I may stone the dovetails to smooth them if I find they're an impairment. Oh & going by this, well done review, you deserve a lot more views & subscribers.

Ive got a riderr plane and its great, im a career bespoke joiner, and I smile every time i use it, the funny thing is most career joiners do a great job and half their tools are rubbish, sometimes i wander if its the hobbyist woodworkers who are overly analytical, or looking for the perfect tool.

@jazzsaxboy Жыл бұрын

There is one rather annoying part to this saw. The gap between the blade and the table insert is quite large about 4mm. If you are trimming the end of a piece of stock to length and the piece you cut off is smaller than 4mm it falls down inside and blocks the dust extraction. It's a pain to get out. I suggest you buy some special tape designed for this very purpose. It will save you a lot of hassle.

Hopefully (since this vid is two years old) you have learned to keep pushing down on the outfeed side not the infeed side that should clear up the issues you are having. Start pushing it through on the infeed but as soon as there is enough on the outfeed only push down there. Hope this helps

I flattened the sole of my Stanley no 7 as it was terrible. To do it by hand would have taken hours. I used my belt edge sander with a worn out belt. It was magic and transformed the plane. I find my Luban (Qiangsheng) no 5 great but a bit heavy. The low angle Jack is much more expensive than the rider.

@MatthewSmall Жыл бұрын

It's still a machine tool so it's not exactly quiet, but my old PT was the loudest tool in the workshop and this one is the quietest. It's nowhere near as loud as my tablesaw, quieter than my bandsaw, mitresaw and dust extractor... the difference between this and a straight bladed PT is massive. It's one of the main reasons I spent the money as the PT tends to get used for hours at a time on a project.

The workbench is fantastic, my congratulations. I was surprised to see you standing on a ladder to cut the dovetails with a Japanese saw. Haven't you considered placing the piece of wood on a table and, sitting on a low stool, cut comfortably while simultaneously seeing two of the two sides to be cut and facilitating a highly precise cut?

Thanks Matthew, great video. Was looking at the Metabo HC260 more for space reasons rather than budget but your video has me thinking i should go with a heavier unit with cast iron tables. Or just stick with what I'm doing at the moment which is hand plane one face, dimension on bandsaw and hand plane parallel and joint on the router table. Takes a lot longer though!

@bridevalley Жыл бұрын

Great video Matt, you cover a good number of issues that many other reviews haven't touched on. I bought a second hand Metabo HC260C which, apart from the blade guard, is very similar to your machine. It was cheap enough but I soon discovered that the infeed and outfeed rollers were worn and the plastic bearings that they run in were in very bad shape. Looking inside the bores of the bearings it's clear that the roller tensioning bolts (the ones you mentioned as being tricky to adjust) had been over-tightened and the bearing surfaces were badly deformed so that it was very hard to rotate the rollers. I am glad I found this out and was grateful to discover that spares are easy to get online (for the Metabo at least - I feel certain that spares for the other brands of this machine are similarly easy to find). Two new rollers and 4 bearings cost me just over £100.

Hi Matt, great review you've got there. It's been 2 years, how is the table saw holding up? Would you recommend it for a newbie? Thinking of going for the W650 or the itech 250. I'm a bit torn between both. How accurate is the sliding table? Does it go out of alignment? Like I said, I've got my eyes on the itech 250, but I'm not confident about the fence. It looks flimsy on the eyes. You advice would be very helpful to a potential woodworker.
