I agree 👍
Lovely. Thanks!

Nice job, Tom
Thank you sir
Have fun with your new angle grinder, Tom
Had it for just over a year now good bit of kit
This tutorial is just what I needed. Thank you 🙂
I'm glad I could help! Thanks for watching
Great tip there, Tom
I'm glad you found it useful
Great video! But why is this video shot in mirror?
It's because I'm stupid lol. I screwed up when I did it but it was one of my earlier videos They have got better. I assure you. Thanks. For watching
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 .
When I first got it over a year ago you could not buy blades that cheap but yes now you can. The price over a year ago for the tool was the standard price things have moved on since then.
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
Hi, I'm glad you liked the video. I have to be honest I have never varnished MDF. I have clear varnished plywood a lot, but I have never been asked to do it to MDF, but there's always the first time. As always thanks for watching
I find the microfiber rollers or close pile give a better finish than the foam rollers.
I think it depends on the paint alot but I have had better results with the foam roller when I lighty apply the paint. Thanks for watching
Hi. Great video. I learned more in 4 minutes than I did reading the entire manual. Thanks for that !
I'm glad I could help and Thanks for watching
❤😊
👍
Very nice. Whats your method for painting them? Can you link to any video tutorials please?
Hi I have yet to do a tutorial on how to paint MDF but will be doing one soon. Ask regarding these cabinets. They had three coats per side With a small woll roller but rubbed down Between Coats with 240 sound paper. Hope this helps thanks to watching
@@TomMagicWoodworking Awesome, thank you. I will subscribe and wait for a full tutorial. Cheers 🙌🏻
Hi Where did you get the storage bag for the this sharpening tool from?
Hi there it comes with it in the box.
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.
Yes, you could sharpen even more fine, but for the average wood worker, this is more than adequate.Thanks for watching
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 🙌 👏 👌 😍 😊
I have the same problem with it tracking from side to side but small price to pay. Good bit if kit otherwise. Thanks for watching
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
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Makita should have made a system thats holdup the safetyguard. I always use a woodclamp
That's true I wish they had
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… 😉
I'm glad you liked the video and that it helped you making your choice on what yo buy.. I appreciate the kind comments and thank you very much for subscribing . Thanks for watching.
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
Hi thanks for the comments. Yes the back panel was 9mm MDF but you could go thinner its what I had in stock at the time. Now for the cabinet you are building, normally if it was making it for the kitchen I would use a MDF or Plywood covered with melamine. But as your painting the outside I would just use MDF if it were me hope this helps. Thanks for watching
@@TomMagicWoodworking Great, thanks for replying.
I have the Dewalt sander. My battery mounts sideways…. DCW201…
Hi yes I believe you have the new one where they have thought about it and fixed the problem. Thanks for watching
@@TomMagicWoodworking it hasn't been new in Canada. i bought it 3 or 4 years ago. i think they opted for a different design outside of North America and maybe finally consolidated it into the one configuration. unless your dewalt is older that 3-4-5 years old... maybe it was different a few years ago.
Oh ok then yes your right as that one is only a year or so old so must be a different design over here
@@TomMagicWoodworking too bad. The side ways battery is nicer in the hand but as you mentioned it still wants to do a wheelie haha.
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
Strange to hear that I have had mine for 3 years and use it ever day never had any problems
Both Top Quality Orbital sanders.Why not get a cable and a battery version. Good investment.
Hi I have got both cable and battery version but the 18v version is A lot more user-friendly.
Think you have more hand grip choice Mikita.
👍
Suppose the cable version would be more comfortable but then not as portable
These days it really comes down to portability and Ease of use. Thanks for watching
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
Hi, I'm glad you liked the cabinets. Yes, they were made in 18mm MDF mainly because 18mm Is more readily available in the builders merchants than 15 mm mdf, plus i had some in stock. Other than that, there is no reason why you can't use 15mm mdf. It will be just as strong. One word of warning make sure your hinges work with 15mm mdf as some are set up for 18mm. Thanks for watching
MUCH APPRECIATED!!! Going for the Makita 42L HEPA instead
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching
Again wheres ur safety glasses
It's OK. I was not shooting at my face
@@TomMagicWoodworking oh that’s ok then,I thought u might
Where’s ur safety glasses
It's OK I was not shooting at my face
Wet belt failure after 56k miles on a 2019 destroyed the engine with full Ford service history. No recall on this. Beware
Wow, I've not heard about that before
I managed to get 130k out of mine before handing it back to the lease company after 3 years. I'd push it to 20k services with diluted oil too 😂
way to get your moneys worth lol
Great video! Do you have a video on working out the drawer spacing in more detail? Cheers!! 👍
I'm afraid I don't but I have got a couple of projects coming up. Where I will show specifically show how to space out the drawers. So keep an eye out i will do them in the next few weeks . Thanks for watching
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! 🤙
Exactly my point.the nakita is the way to go, and yes, that saw is a real good bit of kit. The only thing is alittle heavy .thanks for watching
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).
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I have had a few people ask me to explain in a little more detail some of the areas I will endeavour to show more in my next video. To Answer your question. The stretcher just refers to a piece of plywood or MDF which holds the 2 outside edges, apart i.e. a structural rail. Thanks for watching
Its happening to my sears craftsman sander as well
It's a common failing to most belt Saunders.
How are most mass manufactured MDF cabinets (kitchen) joined? I am curious as to how much weight the bottom "shelves" can handle.
hi it depends on who makes them but for most of them they are screwed and doweled together. Also what you will find is the legs screwed to the bottom of the cabinets over lap the side panels to help carry the weight if that makes sense. So in a word they can handle quite a lot of weight i hope this helps. Thanks for watching
@@TomMagicWoodworking Yes I figured it must be dowels or tongue and groove something like that. Either that they'd have to nail it from the outside and then cover it with the "veneer".
Travis Perkins were selling these off for £240, been great so far.
I would agree for £240 its not a bad saw but when I reviewed it was a lot more money. That's one of the main reasons I was not happy with it but at that price its good deal. Thanks for watching
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 !
It'll be great for a storing your router bits and saw blades. Milwaukee also do foam inserts. So you can cut them out to fit your router cutters in them or to the shape if your tools. I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching

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 👍
Hi, I'm glad you liked the video on the cabinets. Regarding the finishing, it was all done with a small sponge roller and a brush. You just need to build up the coats of paint and rub down well between coats. Thanks for watching
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.
Hi i would say just plan out what you want to build so you have the clear sizes you need. Take your time with it and I'm sure you will have a nice finish. Any problems feel free to ask questions. Thanks for watching
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
I have tried many configurations with the extraction, and I'm sorry to say none work to great on this saw
