I used 70mm screws and wall plugs screwed through the stretcher at the back.

Hi Unfortunately, this is a common problem. I think it stems from who even installed the blades at the factory and uses an impact driver. I have had several people with the same problem. My suggestion would be to spray it with a penetrating oil like WD40. Then, slide a pipe or something over the hex key to give yourself more leverage. Finally, take a rubber mallet and hit the end of the pipe in the direction to loosen it. If all this fails, you will need to take it To a makita dealership . They should be able to sort it for you at a cost. Hope this helps

@@TomMagicWoodworking thank you for your speedy reply. I was able to get it off with the allen key + multipliers + WD-40. It was really difficult! But I got there in the end. Subscribed :)

Glad to hear it all worked out and thanks for Subscribing and watching 😀

No not really as long as you seal the edge of the MDF well. Use serval coats of paint and you should have no problems.

@TomMagicWoodworking thanks for your quick response 🙏

Not a problem hope it helps. Thanks for watching

Thanks for that 👍 glad I could help.

I have got an Axminster sliding table panel sawI

I'm glad you enjoyed the videos and if you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks for watching

For the undercoat use zinsser top coats Just a good quality timber paint.

many thanks!

It's not a problem. What trouble are you having with the MDF?

@TomMagicWoodworking I want to cover a MDF piece with vinyl covering using double sided tape. Tape does not stick to mdf well, especially edges. What product I can use for that?

@@TomMagicWoodworking I mean I know I have to seal the surface but do I have to sand it and would varnish work for that?

You could use a carpet spray glue or possibly a contact Adhesive

Yes, Varnish will seal the MDF or a water down pva solution.

Hi The way I would go about that is to Jigsaw out the 2 panels. As cleanly as you can but it will be covered up. Once the panels are out. I would fix a small moulding to 1 side of the door a bit like Architrave Then put the glass in then finally another set of archive on the other side of the door sandwiching the glass between the two. Be aware you need a glass unit, the width of the panel. I hope this helps thanks for watching.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching

Im glad you liked it and once again thanks for watching

I did hope that the mains light would charge the batteries at the same time but I don't believe it did. So either I missed something or Makita missed a PRIME OPPORTUNITY which is more like the case not thinking ahead a charger would be great idea.

No problem glad you enjoyed it

I would paint one side let it dry then flip it over and do the other side

Yes, I have heard about this, but normally, an issue with higher mileage vans, I believe.100k plus

@TomMagicWoodworking eh no much lower. Many transit drivers take them in sub 50k for belt change and even then there are bits of rubber deposits floating in the sump.

worth knowing thanks

Hi, thanks for the comments, and yes, glue would help. No question. But equally, nearly every kitchen cabinet firm in the uk only uses mechanical fixing to hold the cabinets together. thanks for watching

Hi, I used the same brand of paint for all the cabinets, including the one in the bathroom. Unfortunately, I can not remember the name of the brand it was for my local B&Q DIY store. Basically, just buy a good quality timber paint Most are moisture resistant. I did not use MRMDF As a Rule in bathrooms, I would normally use it, but the cabinet in the bathroom was high on the wall and would have very little contact with moisture if any. Thanks for watching

Hi yes you are dead right after mocking everything up to make sure it worked. I then stripped it all down to paint which I did not show. I have since made a video showing how the painting is done for anyone interested. Thanks for watching

Hi, it was a little while ago now that I built them, but I think it was all standard MDF. Basically, it was what I had in stock in the workshop But yes, the MDF quality does vary a lot. Thanks for watching

Hi thanks a lot. As regarding the corner clamps I have added a link at the bottom of the video description for Amazon where you can get them. Thanks for watching

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching

Hi, yes, I do still have it and use it every day. The measurement from the bench when the saw is fully open is 730 mm or almost 29 inches. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching

@@TomMagicWoodworking Thank you.

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The MDF I used in the video was 18mm thick, which should be fine even for larger cabinets. Thanks for watching

Hi exactly how I demonstrated painting in this video is how I did the cabinets. A brush and a small roller that's it rubbing down between coats

@@TomMagicWoodworking Would it be easier to paint them all before assembling them? Or should we be assembling first please?

Yes you can do a lot of the painting before you assemble the cabinets. The only problem is if you are screwing them together from the outside. You will need to fill and sand down the holes making it look patchy!

@@TomMagicWoodworking Oh I see, I think I will do one of each and see which works best. Thanks for replying! Great video, very helpful.

Hi all mine are fine main thing is to make sure the faces being glued up are dead flat and square and use titebond would glue. thanks for watching

As always, I'm glad you liked the video. Good luck with revamping your workshop. What i have done there was a little bit expensive, but I think it was well worth it for the finish. Thanks for watching

Hi the drawer rails I used in the video came from Amazon here is a link to them amzn.to/4eiJCEW thanks for watching

@@TomMagicWoodworking thanks!

Hello across the pond .I'm glad I can help and thanks for watching

Very true, the vacuum is loud but very handy I use it all the time

I am glad you liked it! Thanks for watching 👍

Hi, yes, this saw has a few problems. The cheap build is the biggest. As I'm sure you could tell by my review. I was not impressed with it either. Sorry you've got to return your saw but thanks for watching.

Hi, in the UK, we can only get 1 thickness of blade. To form your groves for the back panel, run your material through once, then move the fence. And run through again, giving you 6 mm width. Hope this helps thanks for watching

Glad I could help and thank you for watching

Sorry I forgot the brand but they were MDF screws which all have a coarse thread. Thanks for watching

Yes that is a good point and one I forgot to Mention, thanks watching.

I have to be honest. I use mine nearly every day, and I have never noticed mine doing it so I would think you have a faulty one. Thanks for watching

Just bought one, mine is very jerky, definitely couldn’t sand with one hand 😢

I have to be honest I have not had a problem with mine maybe don't put as much pressure on only thing i can think to suggest

I painted the cabinets with a good timber paint. I used a brush and a roller

I'm glad you like. Thanks for watching

LOL I'm glad I could help and thanks for watching
