Little Rockford planer
Owner giving a demonstration of how not to plane a straight edge
Clearly you're not charging enough.Clamping coercion
Mr Watkins’s charges more to plane a straight edge than I supply a planed one for!
Haha that's a funny video, how to bend a straight edgeLittle Rockford planer

No , it’s clearly a case of a amateur charging 3x commercial rate for a poor jobClearly you're not charging enough.
I don’t think he does enough to say he’s making moneyWell if he's making money at it then he's doing something right...
Clamping coercion
Yes I three point on round packing to keep coercion to the minimumYou mean shimming in two places and then clamping between the two points?
Bump. @pressbrake1In a days work and all that.
Let's get her wired in now!!!
I’m being crushed under the burden of trying to finish jobs that were quoted before material prices went truly stupid.
Got to have major workshop reshuffle as it’s so wide with the powerpack in the design position I can’t get my forklift past to load the devlieg ( previous owners broke the lube pump squeezing a forklift past)
So I need to make a extended wiring loom and hydraulic pipes
Very frustrating as I have work that can only be done on the Rockford
Seeing this a lot now, particularly with larger/more complex/difficult jobs, got one to deal with where the material cost increase is more than the manufacturing cost. They has had to cancel the job because of the risk... despite us being happy to carry the increased material costs... if it goes wrong they dont want to have to replace the billet..I know a few firms who have taken a serious hit for that exact reason. Had one ask to increase a quote by £20k, with proof it was just material prices. I said yes, bean counters said no so they withdrew from the work. New contractor is £50k more....
