Hi Dennis, Another outstanding China Tools video as usual. Over the years I have purchased a number of these tools you have reviewed, and have never regretted my purchase/s. It must be great when Banggood actually uses your 'China Tool' video to enhance the description when they are convincing the customer to purchase the item. Thanks for all your efforts in all the videos you have done over the years. Your attention to detail leases no doubt in the usefulness or otherswise of the products you are reviewing. Well done mate. kmdc from Oz.

Would really like to see a China version of a MFT hinge for a Track for my saw. The European versions are just to expensive for the occasional use. If you read this Bangood would be great to see a MFT hinge from you to lift the track out of the way when not in use, and quickly fold down when required for tracksaw cuts.

Thanks Dennis. Hungdui is really starting to set themselves apart as a quality tool manufacturer with novel designs. I’m curious if you have used the Harvey miter gauge system? Just as a point of reference.😊
@HookedonWood Жыл бұрын
I have seen the Harvey Miter gauge system with a friend of my. Harvey is even a bit more heavy built. It is an impressive miter gauge Harvey made. But when I had to review Harvey the way I do for my China Tool series, I would mention so many shortcomings in its basic function, that I would rate it 3-3.5 stars. Superb, quality but lacks too many things. For example, a ruler. What is the point of heaving a High-End miter gauge but I need to have an extra ruler to set the distance? Only a few positive stops? Why? If you make a more then 6 mitered frame, setting it without a positive stop becomes guesswork. The way you have to adjust the fence to your saw blade is not friendly. And that is even too much for a High-End miter gauge fence, but I will find ore when needed. So, the Hongdui miter gauge and fence are really very nice products that take care of so many more items you need when you work with them. As a quality I think it is 95% of the Harvey. I see the fact that the Harvey is more heavy not as an advantage to work with it, but from a quality perspective It gives me the impression it is just a little bit higher. But everyone, who will see this Hongdui miter gauge and fence will be impressed.

It’s not so much different from a quality branded products. For instance I was shopping for a router plane and Hongdui was just 10% down to high-quality similar size from Veritas. With such a small gap going for a well established and regarded brand is the obvious choice

I contacted them and instead of saying there was an error in the listing, they actually edited the product and then proceeded to tell me "No no, the listing says bla bla bla". Super infuriating. I am absolutely sure of this because I took a lot of notes but unfortunately no screenshot. But yeah... definetly don't expect anything from them if something goes wrong because their after-sales team is more like a mafia...

No matter how well you've aligned your tablesaw's miter slot and blade, the most accurate way to square the miter fence is indexing/measuring the miter gauge's fence to the bar. If that's an accurate 90º a blade/slot misalignment will not affect accuracy, just cut quality. Think about a miter gauge on a bandsaw or router table and you'll see that aligning to the blade is not the proper method.

@@7Makowski7Technically that router plane, made by Hongdui and branded by Katz-Moses, IS a counterfeit of a patented Veritas tool. The adjustment system and blades are "novel" but the main body casting and fence are exact copies of a patented design. But to answer your question, these are the same router planes made by the same company in China, Hongdui. Keep in mind when you buy this tool you get NO customer support for broken, lost, or missing parts. At Lee Valley you get legacy support on all of their tools down to the last screw. Lose the blade retaining screw on this knockoff and you might have a tough time locating a replacement. That's a big difference in value for the original versus the Chinese copy. KM may have been better off trying to sell just the adjuster mechanism as a retrofit if it's as good as claimed instead of going with a design ripoff of the body and fence. And how's the blade selection coming for that Chinese copy? None.

@@kz.irudimenthe KM-17 is a high end western product; in fact it’s much higher end than Veritas. that’s why it’s so expensive being bought through a third party like a banggood. They bought them from Katz-Moses and marked it up. At BG’s regular list price, it’s priced too high but on sale, it’s a tad cheaper than buying from Katz-Moses’ actual site, and about $60 cheaper than buying a veritas (when you buy four extra irons for each). I myself have a Veritas and it’s great. It’s only a few years old so it’s going to last me the rest of my life under normal working conditions. But if I ever lose it in a fire or theft, I’ll be replacing it with a KM-17 no question.
