Some can do more….. Where it comes to the reasons for drilling holes, the reasons can be many, and varied – I’m sure you can think of dozens of reasons without me making a list. One of those reasons is as a pilot hole for screws. This can be to prevent the timber splitting from having a screw boring in, pushing the timber aside to the point that the surrounding timber cannot withstand the pressure. Some timbers being a lot more susceptible than others. Alternately, (and not necessarily exclusive...

Ran a couple of tests with the new camera on its highest framerate setting. Interesting results. On the lathe, there wasn’t enough light, but I have some new ones worked out for when I am filming for real – the shed will look like it is residing in the near vicinity of the sun, and will be about as hot, but it will be good for any high speed shots. Obviously, I won’t use those lights all the time, or even at full intensity, but they will be good when they are needed. The GoPro is running at 240f...

Dropped round on Robbo recently, as he has been working gluing up a segmented block to turn into a table leg, and was about to turn it for the first time. An opportunity not to be missed! He didn’t do a great deal on the first day – too many competing priorities, but even so, it’s a pretty good segmented unit! It was also being filmed for the forums, so any comments were directed to that camera. Robbo SSYTC046 Robbo’s baby lathe...

This is the AGP 125, in the Protool range, as seen at the Festool Media event. Never really felt any real interest in working with concrete/tile etc, or owning a tool capable of doing so….until now that is. This tool has two setups – a shrouding for cutting, and a second for grinding/smoothing. Both lend two significant advantages: dust control and operation control. Tile/Concrete Cutter For cutting/grout-line grinding etc, the tool is held on a sled that can also engage the Festool/Protool rail...

Jumping straight into the demos, the first item we looked at was the new Autoclean Cleantex. Looking very much like the CT36 with the extra dimension that it can put itself through a filter cleaning cycle. The Autoclean (with superflex hose) Demoing the Machine The cleaning cycle can be dialed in so it happens at a frequency that suits the job being done. If doing a lot of heavy sanding of a powdery surface, you want a very frequent cleaning cycle, and it can become as infrequent as once every 2...

In these shots it is running a specialised cutter (also manufactured by Yas Engineering (and in all fairness, these are engineers, not web authors – the machine is much more impressive than their website demonstrates!), but it can also have a sanding disk fitted. The size of the cutter is quite impressive – not something yo...
