Should have done the cut the hair on the back of the arm test

Nooice!

I wish more people would realize mdf and HDF are amazing products and I hope people don’t frown upon them any more

Lovely. Thanks!

Good tip, Tom

Nice job, Tom

Have fun with your new angle grinder, Tom

This tutorial is just what I needed. Thank you 🙂

Great tip there, Tom

Great video! But why is this video shot in mirror?

I got pack 20 blades for my Makita for £14 The vibration is super low the power button locks unlike DeWalt The quick release on DeWalt can get in way the Makita quick release won't . The brushless Makita will last years the dewalts smaller motor won't and will run hot . Makita have nailed it with their Multitool here Tbh the 51 is brushed version of this and bit cheaper but everyone is cheaper than Screwfix £190 they seen you coming I paid £160 and got a case .

Hi Tom, good tip for prepping and painting MDF. MDF can be tricky to paint and get the finish and the other thing with MDF is choosing a clear varnish to keep the MDF look. As always a great video, Take care

I find the microfiber rollers or close pile give a better finish than the foam rollers.

Hi. Great video. I learned more in 4 minutes than I did reading the entire manual. Thanks for that !

❤😊

Very nice. Whats your method for painting them? Can you link to any video tutorials please?

Hi Where did you get the storage bag for the this sharpening tool from?

I take it that this is only of use after you have flattened the backs on conventional stones. Looks useful for primary grinding, but puzzled by the use of such coarse stones for the micro bevel (I assume that is what the 27.5 deg is for). I follow the Rob Cosman method- the micro bevel is put on with a 16000 grit (ceramic) stone, and takes a few seconds. When that is too large, a tertiary bevel can be used. Only after many sharpenings is the full bevel re-ground. Grinding to 1200 grit is very coarse, and, if not using finer stones, will require a lot of lapping. Personally I use 1000, 6000, 16000 grits (first two only for re-grinding the bevel and initial flattening of the back); no lapping (stropping) is required.

I have the same model you are exactly right in what you say about the supermax 16-32 drum sander. It massively improves productivity. It doesn't take 100% of concentration when operating as long as the ( Goldie locks) spot on the fead belt has been tensioned in . Sometimes, if it tracks towards a side I put more tension on the side it's going towards + slightly loose the opposite 😊 rinse repeat a little bit. When it dialled in its a game changer 🙌 👏 👌 😍 😊

Hi Tom, Great demonstration on your new sharpening jig, looks decent and easy to use and if it brings old chisels back to life it must be worth it. Great video, Take care

Makita should have made a system thats holdup the safetyguard. I always use a woodclamp

Nice one Tom, thanks for the walk/talk through of your new Makita… 👍🏻 I am not a Makita fanboy, having invested heavily in another well known 18v platform, but their Track Saw offering doesn’t cut it… 🤷🏼‍♂️ Long story short, I didn’t really want another battery platform to worry about, but have been thoroughly impressed with everything I’ve read, seen and heard about the Makita, your presentation included, so I’ve only gone and ordered the corded version… 👀 I have also ordered the track and paraphernalia separately to suit my needs, including a 1m + 1.5m track with bag, joiners plus fast action clamps… 👏🏻 Can’t wait to receive it all and get started, thanks again and now sub’d… 😉

Hi, great video on making cabinets. I'm wondering what thickness did you use for the back panel? Was it 9mm? I'm building a larder cabinet to fit beside a fridge in a kitchen., roughly 2000 x 500mm. Would you go MDF or melamine. I'm painting the outside panel and doors. Thanks

I have the Dewalt sander. My battery mounts sideways…. DCW201…

I bought it and the build quality was substandard. Footings were weak and wobbly. I had to return it and would recommend to avoid. Side note: I’m a professional engineer and big fan of Makita. They just missed the mark on this and assume a third party manufactured it outside of Japan

Both Top Quality Orbital sanders.Why not get a cable and a battery version. Good investment.

Think you have more hand grip choice Mikita.

Suppose the cable version would be more comfortable but then not as portable

Hi Tom , great work looking at building some cabinets myself for self imposed shed time, thankyou for sharing your knowledge. From video looks can tell, did you use 18mm MDF? Is there any difference if using 15mm from your experience? Thanks Vic

MUCH APPRECIATED!!! Going for the Makita 42L HEPA instead

Again wheres ur safety glasses

Where’s ur safety glasses

Wet belt failure after 56k miles on a 2019 destroyed the engine with full Ford service history. No recall on this. Beware

Great video! Do you have a video on working out the drawer spacing in more detail? Cheers!! 👍

And if, like myself, you already have a whole eco system of Makita 18v LXT tools and batteries, it just makes more sense to stay in that system... and not add more batteries and chargers that cause more clutter! I just took delivery of this saw and am delighted with it's performance and accuracy! 🤙

Great video thanks Tom. For us absolute beginners it would be good if you could explain some of the basics in a bit more detail (e.g. the role of the stretcher).

Its happening to my sears craftsman sander as well

How are most mass manufactured MDF cabinets (kitchen) joined? I am curious as to how much weight the bottom "shelves" can handle.

Travis Perkins were selling these off for £240, been great so far.

Very jealous of your milwaukee colors across the pond, but amazing quality no matter how fancy it looks

hey Tom nice review, i will check that out for sure. it would be great to keep all my saws and routers with bits and blades in one system at the shop. thanks for sharing mate !

great review mate

My mk7 is the same, very narrow power band. Normally drive around town (30) in 4th. Mpg 32.

Hi Tim, keen woodworker with a lot to learn. The cabinets looks awesome, I love the nice flat and even finish in the paint you did them in. May I ask how you achieved that please? I can only imagine you sprayed them, really nice finish 👍

Great job Tom, considering changing my old built in wardrobes and this has given me more confidence that I could have a go and build some myself. Subscribed.

Seems like you have a shop vac and a dust extractor maybe try hookin one to the lower part and one to the higher part of the saw

Like the look of it! Isn’t oak not the best choice for a cutting board? Very porous….

Hi Tom, could you please share the dimension sheet if you have one?
