bleeding ell. looks scary
and the saws big as well.
BTW Trigger, i decided to buy the Grindlux blade sharpener from woodland mills if you remember our conversation several months ago. i always want to be self sufficient if possible



Good on ya! I’ve just bought the same machine but it’s a first gen Grindlux 4000. Needs a few new bits before I can try it but looking forward to that. The joys of buying off of eBay but thankfully paid with PayPal so got most of the cash back.

It’s a Makita as well. 16 5/8”. Not readily available in the U.K. not planning a track for it but will just screw/clamp a straight edge if I need to. Will mostly be using it for my first attempts at timber framing along side the Makita chain Mortiser I got through Johnson

Yeah, I was looking for something to get a straight edge on the milled boards, I looked at the 300mm Makita but it was a lot more money...... I was surprised that mine's not soft start, has that got a kick to it as well ?



I’ve not fired it up yet as I need to swap out the plug. Will have a look the morn. Spend the day installing larch cladding on my brothers office/workshop then milling a load more.

But that’s the plan for this too. Got some 5” think Ash that I wanna rip a straight edge off to get it on my bandsaw. I’m gonna see if clamping a ladder to the slab works.
