@Stuart Little, my problem is that the saw blades that came with the saw break/break easily, so I will try metal blades of the type that I use on my Prooxon FET saw, changing the saw blade itself is not a problem, Thanks for your attention, greetings Knut-

Knut, they maybe too big. The ones I use are 50 mm dia. on ebay, but one side of the mounting spigot has to be reduced to 9.5 mm diameter. If only Proxxon had made the KG & FET to use the same blades. I never thought to try the FET blades as I assumed they would not fit, & I did have the 50 mm ones.

Hello Bill I will use this planer for working on the floorboards inside and outside.
Don I've added a link to the company, but I don't know if this company exists in the States.

Minor additions compared with some impressive items posted in this forum. The small, cordless, rechargeable rotary tool is the third that I have bought. The older two work fine but I get bored by repated changes of collet size. I have tried small chucks but they are never sufficiently balanced in such a small tool. The new one will be fitted to receive dremel type tools; the older two will hold small drill bits. Currently one holds a fine bit to provide starter holes for pins; the other drills holes to receive eye bolts. The second item is a pair of parallel jow pliers that grip extremely well. One jaw has a lengthwise groove (intended, I think, for holding wire) ; it holds pins extremely firmly.

I just received this sander a couple of days ago, very strongly made, it runs nice and smooth,

and one from the back,

thanks for looking in,

I have bought a couple of these mini drills, they are fantastic for small light work and I also bought five of the self closing chucks, three are for these mini drills and the other two are my cordless Dremel, I am surprised by what John said in his post above as I have never had any problems withe mini chucks, I might just be lucky and have better balanced drills or chucks, it only cost $15 AUD including shipping for all five chucks,

20230520_131411.jpg
These chucks are beautiful to hold sit nicely in my hand, I paid $30 AUD for both the drills including shipping,

Where did you find the belt sander, Neptune?
 
Hello everyone I bought this 6 inch shop fox jointer, it's the older version so I got it on sale,actually the old version is better in my opinion with the solid steel fence the new version has a aluminum fence, I got this so I can square up rough cut boards for proper resawing,it won't be used much,but it's there if I need it, I made a adjustable table for it so it can go under my bench, I used a motorcycle sissor jack to raise it up or down with the drill, works fantastic!!!

Hi, John, I've found it, but not on ebay UK. I found it on Aliexpress (NL), for £45,97 inc.. The horizontal position is what attracted me..

Best regards Stuart

Glad you found one Stuart, but I cannot believe the price, mine was $46 AUD including shipping, that's half the price of the one quoted,
Best regards John,
