For me, it’s more the milled brass back that I’m after. I can get the stock, but I cannot slit a .02 slot in it. Know someone who can?

This!
In particular, this -
I struggled with this issue on and off for literal years. I spent untold hours and good money trying to sort out exactly the issue you are describing. I chewed...
Nearly a poetic level of destruction. Are those dogholes filled in with epoxy? The perp has either an excellent sense of humor or pure evil in their soul. Might be worth reaching out and inquiring...

Cabinet was there when I moved in. My grinder is set up as Derek Cohen describes on his site. The platform my stones sit on is baltic birch veneered with torrified maple. The little stone...
Hey all
There's a local listing for a standing lathe near(ish) me that I'm looking to find more information about. Anyone able to ID this? Something worth 525?
Thanks

You’re not, actually. Authorities are on their way.
What information are you looking for? I believe he has restocked most blades and has added more to the lineup. They’re great irons and pretty much all I use now. Even got one for my no 2. Maybe I’m...
I use a shapton 16k for polishing. Ideally I’ll build slurry with the flattening plate, but probably more often I’ll use these little mini diamond plates from DMT. I think they’re called mini sharp...
I picked up a few last summer, and my second order came in last week as well. I live in Erie PA. It’s nice to run over and just pick up my order. Nick is a nice guy and I felt bad he had such...
Ok, I see. So my original post said
This is actually backwards...I measured how far out it was through feeler gauges, then used [really] rusty trig to deduce the angle of the sides....
What makes you think this?
Then don’t. I’m not some anomaly. Woodworkers regularly spend 125 on lie nielsen chisels and I think Veritas is in the same range. I feel the IBC has noteworthy improvements over those so I’ll pay...
Rob's name is nowhere to be found on these mortise chisels. It's an IBC chisel which Rob distributes and markets. These chisels can also be purchased directly from IBC.
No. I have two narex...
Thanks for checking in Richard. Two weeks and you're still missing the point of this thread. The point was to get an idea of how fellow woodworkers hold manufactures to the standards which are...
I don’t have any reason to believe anyone there is knowingly selling chisels outside of their advertised tolerances. For all I know these two chisels I received are uh, 2-offs? Though, since the...
Here's that "your specs" language that their customer service used. You don't know my specs, but I'll tell you, to be clear. My specs are exactly what he has advertised, and those should be upheld....
Am I the jerk here?
Sorry for the length…
I’d like to share my peculiar experience with a well-respected tookmaker/distributor within the community. First and foremost, I have nothing but...
Out of curiosity, how far are you from Erie pa?
I picked up a 102 late last year, being primarily a 60-1/2 user. The 102 is a little more mobile, but the open mouth scares me as I rarely work with straight grained woods. I'm usually not willing to...
I snagged one on Monday. Far as I know, the first ones went up Friday at 4pm est. I think a handful have been in stock every business day around 2 since then. Kind of like the iron skew block, small...
I believe you're correct.
Frankly, I'd accept very little deviance from square from a plane which is designed from the ground up as a shooting plane. It has no other purpose and I would not...
I'm confused. Are you sure it's supposed to be 88 degrees?
Looking at the manual online I see "Made of fully stress-relieved, ductile cast iron, the shooting plane is accuratelymachined and...
UPDATE: Thanks again for the insight, everyone.
Switching to straight bits solved my issue. Quite surprising as I thought spiral bits were superior in every way. My cuts end up +.002 over...
Been meaning to slip these in on the creek without sounding too braggy… these showed up on “Toms toolbox” about 2 weeks apart in December. There were two versions of the no 2, one with rosewood and...
Thanks for the input, everyone. Doesn't seem like there's a single quick thing I can look into to sort this out, more so just general shortcomings of the design. Very interested to see that some...
