    The Festool Domino is probably the best tool I own. It’s insanely expensive but when you’ve got to join to pieces of wood together with a good looking strong joint there’s few better ways. In this article I correct an issue I’ve been having by performing a Domino sighting adjustment.

    We bought this shredder a few years ago now and although it’s broken it’s done all right considering we only paid a few pounds for it. It seems at least Amazon still sell this item but I don’t remember paying that much for it. As shredders go it’s not really up to much, it’s a…

    Next morning I decided to have a closer look at the damage and try to finish the thicknessing by hand. On the Jet JPT-260 it is possible to disengage the feed rollers which should allow for manual operation. After setting everything up I disengaged the rollers and tried to feed a piece of wood in.…

    A while back I bought a second hand Jet JPT-260 planner thicknesser from Aximinster.
