When connected to the other battery the battery indicator does work but once unplugging it doesn’t.

Nice one. Good luck mate. I think it might be down to the newer tech in the batteries. They need the tool trigger pulled to release the beans. Without that, it's like they only release enough power to run an led or something on the tool. This effectively means you only get a very slow trickle charge so can take a while with 2 batteries connected. That's how it seems to me anyway.👍

Clever solution, thank you. I am really enjoying your reviews. I’ve been looking at the benchdogs fence system for my track saw table build. I love the idea and the look of their system, but wasn’t sure it was solid enough… I’m now thinking of using either 40mm x 40mm extrusion . My question is, if you were starting again would you use 20 or 40 series extrusions?
@BischBaschBosch6 күн бұрын
Thanks mate. I think, starting over, I'd stick with 20 series profiles to make the same as I have now. I think the fence dogs are a great fixing solution. They would allow a fixing in 40 series but, only one. With a 2040 flat and a 2020 piece on top, I can get 2 fixings in from each fence dog. This keeps them solidly in place, no pivoting around a single fixing. I think this is important if you want to remove it regularly as I do.👍

Hello Stu. Interesting review. The nose piece is one of the best features here. The fogging makes it impossible if this does work now I have to wear glasses….. I have to declare a bias here. I worked for 3M for 10yrs. I do like there respirators. However having done multiple courses, beards and negative pressure is a no go for full protection. Better than nothing but if you were protecting against dangerous particles or viruses then you would need a positive pressure system. These are the powered type.

I am a beardy like yourself , and have one of those but without the nose strips ( first I knew of them ) Its great most of the time , but I also have a Trend Stealth which I purchased several weeks ago , as despite changing the filters on the base camp, I was still ending up with a lot of fine dust inhaled. The dust and general breathing is much better with the trend, but the condensation is bad. I give it a quick wipe over with some swabs I have , and keep it in a zip lock bag with silica bags in them. It seems to be keeping the damp & dust away. For general use the base camp is great, but prolonged bouts of dust creation I currently prefer the Trend. I got mine issued by my employer during Covid , as they are an American multinational, along with a big pile of filters.

Excellent video. The only one I have seen that actually explains the properties of each glue and its applications.

Cascamite isn't either and the only option I have found that is guaranteed food safe is Titebond. Cheers.
@BischBaschBosch14 күн бұрын
Thanks man. D4 glues (which includes titebond 3) are inert when cured, hence food safe. They're solvent free and don't leach. Not sure why help desk told you it isn't. Only warning on their technical data sheet is not to eat or drink while using - as in wet glue. Pretty standard. 👍
@HugeHugsNow-vx5cn14 күн бұрын
I have the triangle from Temu for $40. 1. I’m disappointed in the ledge not being perfectly straight. The fault is due to the groove being too deep. That causes the ledge to have less meat. Which makes it “wavy” and not straight. Your point-contact method of testing with the bench dogs is one scenario of use. Another test is the full-contact method where the ledge is fully in contact with the mating surface. That’s the fence-to-track scenario you had shown. Because the ledge is not fully straight, I do the Fence-to-Track calibration without the ledge. 2. Did you notice the fasteners for the Ledge are in the way of bearing it on the edge of a board? You cannot randomly use either side of the ledge because of those protruding fasteners. 3. The Ledge and the Edge of the Triangle are not flush. The Ledge stops short of the edge of the triangle. Thankfully that is the desired flaw, if there has to be a defect. I do appreciate and have high quality tools from TSO and Woodpeckers. In this case, the Triangle is just going to be used for layout, and not for measuring. I’ve found the China tools do not have accurate scales for measurements. And I do not trust China manufacturing for router bits and power tools. For my targeted usage, with the price and value points, and even with the three flaws, I decided to keep the triangle. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experiences with the China tools. Every bit helps to inform our decisions.
@BischBaschBosch14 күн бұрын
Thanks for sharing you experience. First thing I check is that all edges are straight with a precision straight edge. My triangle and it's stock were both straight. I know what you mean about housing in the stock being very deep. Could be of concern if you were to continually remove it, making it prone to damage but, I keep mine attached. Thankfully my screw heads don't protrude at all. They're clear of each reference edge by about half mm. Not a lot but enough. I had no intention of using this for measurement, not least because its imperial only so I didn't even concern myself with its accuracy in that regard. With regards Chinese tools and machining accuracy mire generally, like everywhere, you get the production you pay for. There are cheap, often dissappointing Chinese tools, and premium ones. Hongdui a good example of the later. Their products easily comparable to offerings from Harvey, Jessem etc. Not to mention all the premium tech sold in the West, manufactured in China. Their problem isn't manufacturing or engineering prowess. I think it's more that they don't particularly get, or "do" brands. Woodpeckers for example understand that their brand - and the (often ludicrous) premium they attach to it - lives or dies via the quality of every item they make. Outside of the domestic market, it's very hard to find companies like that in China. Veiko for example make some excellent quality, accurate tools for an excellent price. They also fill out their range with some rubbish. Hongdui seems to be a change on that front. One to watch.

Brands can make a difference but we have some fine PU in the UK too. No disrespect to John Heisz but a serious furniture maker or production outfit that uses a construction pu glue is ultra rare. It's too messy (doesn't clean well initially, can stain later), which can make it hard to spot/check a closed (or not) joint and, can degrade before time if there's air or hollow in the wood/joint. What it is though, is quick. That has its appeal. I'd rather take my time. 👍

The one glue that I never use, and loathe is polyurethane....too messy, too sticky and the only type of adhesive that has ever let me down.

They would allow a fixing in 40 series but, only one. With a 2040 flat and a 2020 piece on top, I can get 2 fixings in from each fence dog. This keeps them solidly in place, no pivoting around a single fixing. I think this is important if you want to remove it regularly as I do.👍
Would you be giving this away?
Not this one mate. I can make use of it in my work.
This is a proper review with everything you need to know about the product, 10:56 delivered with a knowledgeable practical approach.
Appreciated, thank you👍
Very professional,👍It is helpful to me
That's great, cheers👍
I’ve had one since before moving workshop, so now I’m sorted I’ll finally be able to review it after putting it through its paces with the house renovation. I didn’t get the nose foam unfortunately, and my stupid shape nose still allows a little air into the specs. That being said it is still a very good mask (I’m yet to find one my thin bridged hooter properly fits in lol
Nice! Fit can often be an issue. Hard to make something to fit everyone. I can send you a couple nose foam strips to try if you want. Dm me on insta👍
Great review Stew. Base camp sent me the Pro version which I think is better with the head strap and agree it’s a comfortable mask and doesn’t fill up with condensation like my GVS or Trend Stealth. No steamy glasses & does seem a better fit for beards, seems to be a keeper 👍.
Nice one. Think I've seen it on your Insta? I'm a perpetual hat wearer so didn't fancy the head strap of the Pro. Yeah, it's not like the Base Camp don't get a bit moist after long use but not dropping wet. Proper comfy I think too. 👍
I use the 3m 7500 series dust mask regularly. The condensation is indeed a big pain when using for a long time. If more readily available localy (in Belgium) i would instantly give it a try. Thanks for all ur vids!
Yeah, 3M have always been one of my go-to for many things. Nothing against their masks. Just the moisture build up really after long periods. These cloth ones seem much better at coping with that. Just so you know, Base Camp take care of customs to UK and EU so no hidden charges👍
Thank you for the fantastic review, Stew! We're thrilled to hear that the BASE CAMP mask has changed your perspective on cloth masks and that you're finding it effective and comfortable for your work.😊
Hey, thanks for sending one out to me. Was pleasantly surprised by it! 👍
I use the trend stealth P3 and it is always wet on the inside after ten/ fifteen minutes of use. Pisses me off having to clean it out. Looks like I'll give this a try.
Yeah, I think that's kind of a feature of any mask with the silicone face cover. Wonder if the stealth lite would be better? Still, I found the Base Camp great on this front. Gets moist but not sopping wet. 👍
@@BischBaschBosch still, it makes me look like Darth Vader, so not all bad!
I have the Base Camp mask and as a glasses wearer I find it fabulous. It’s my go to mask now and so comfy I love it.
Nice one. Do you use the nose foam or find you didn't need to?
@@BischBaschBosch using the nose foam. Makes all the difference. 100%.
Hello Stu. Interesting review. The nose piece is one of the best features here. The fogging makes it impossible if this does work now I have to wear glasses….. I have to declare a bias here. I worked for 3M for 10yrs. I do like there respirators. However having done multiple courses, beards and negative pressure is a no go for full protection. Better than nothing but if you were protecting against dangerous particles or viruses then you would need a positive pressure system. These are the powered type. I could go full keyboard warrior mode, however not a rant against anything you said more a be careful people 👍🏻
Thanks mate. Yeah, I don't think I'd get away with my beard in the virology game😂 I admit to never really looking much into mask/respirator numbers or performance before. I was just happy this base camp one seemed to massively cut down wetness and tickly coughing after prolonged use. By all means though, if there's anything you'd like to impart for people to consider, I'm all for it. 👍
@@BischBaschBoschthanks mate always happy to comment, has to be ‘non shouty’ way though. Sometimes written text comes over, even if unintentionally across the wrong way. The easiest way to think of respirators is, with a beard if your life depends on it, say dealing with asbestos, your respirator should be fit tested. This is an industry standard. Does not matter the industry, the test is standard. Don’t let a comfort lull you into a false sense of security
Someone with knowledge! If you don't mind answering a question regarding the 3M 7500 series. When it comes to wiping / cleaning the insides, which wipes are suitable and cheap to get the job done?
👍👍👍 Another in depth review. Thanks
Nice one mate🙌
Please note - Base Camp handle customs when shipping to UK and EU so no extra charges. Delivery (US to UK) takes 7 days and is to your door. Shipping is £5-6. Apologies for not mentioning there's no customs charges in the video.✌
Pretty interesting mask indeed, dude! 😃 Thanks for the review! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Cheers mate. Honestly wasn't sure if like but so far, perfect 👍
I am a beardy like yourself , and have one of those but without the nose strips ( first I knew of them ) Its great most of the time , but I also have a Trend Stealth which I purchased several weeks ago , as despite changing the filters on the base camp, I was still ending up with a lot of fine dust inhaled. The dust and general breathing is much better with the trend, but the condensation is bad. I give it a quick wipe over with some swabs I have , and keep it in a zip lock bag with silica bags in them. It seems to be keeping the damp & dust away. For general use the base camp is great, but prolonged bouts of dust creation I currently prefer the Trend. I got mine issued by my employer during Covid , as they are an American multinational, along with a big pile of filters.
Nice. Love the look of the trend stealth to be fair. Maybe a face shape thing but I get no noticeable dust in the Base Camp🚶♀️👍
I've tried the RZ mask, didn't work out for me. Sits wrong in my face, tickles my nose constantly. My 3M 6503QL half mask on the other hand works perfectly for me. Even my beard is a non-issue. Bought 3y ago, happy to this day.
What's the PZ mask? It's a funny thing though innit. I didn't like the fit of the 3M at all. And the silicone mask collected loads of moisture, same as my Vitrex. Great you found one you liked and fit properly though👍
@@BischBaschBosch RZ not PZ 😄 It's the Aussie version of the Base Camp iirc. At least it looks the same. Couldn't agree more. Everyone's face is different. Good there are so many options to choose from.
@@vdis 😂 Well, I did mention in the vid I might be getting glasses soon.
No EU, no UK retail - that's a no go. I'll pay double in taxes and duties.
Sorry bud. Meant to say in the video that Base Camp handle customs to UK and EU. No hidden charges. Shipping to UK is £5-6. Takes about 7 days to get to the UK.
BASE CAMP doesn't charge any taxes and duties, and we handle customs clearance. All you need to do is wait for the delivery at your doorstep.
@@BASECAMPMASK And extremely quick you are too! Thank you!
I have similar lower quality mask that looks like that since covid years. Not good for heavy dust use such routing or using table saw, but came in handy when I do hand sanding. I want to buy that higher quality one, but I doubt it will be available in my country. haha My go to is the bulky 3M 7502 + 7093 filter.
Yeah, I always had more bulky masks. This one has changed my mind though. So much easier to wear and breath through.👍
And no UK retail
They tell me they're working on it. 7 day delivery to UK and they handle customs, no extra cost.👍
Really useful video - I'm going to stop being instinctive about glue and follow your lead here. Thanks!
Great to hear, thanks mate. Nothing wrong with being instinctive if it's from good past experience. I just think it's also worth thinking about a glues properties and the job you want it to do too.👍
Excellent video. The only one I have seen that actually explains the properties of each glue and its applications. My only however is that Everbuild D4 should not be used for cutting blocks as it is not deemed to be food safe (as per their technical helpdesk). Cascamite isn't either and the only option I have found that is guaranteed food safe is Titebond. Cheers.
Thanks man. D4 glues (which includes titebond 3) are inert when cured, hence food safe. They're solvent free and don't leach. Not sure why help desk told you it isn't. Only warning on their technical data sheet is not to eat or drink while using - as in wet glue. Pretty standard. 👍
I have the triangle from Temu for $40. 1. I’m disappointed in the ledge not being perfectly straight. The fault is due to the groove being too deep. That causes the ledge to have less meat. Which makes it “wavy” and not straight. Your point-contact method of testing with the bench dogs is one scenario of use. Another test is the full-contact method where the ledge is fully in contact with the mating surface. That’s the fence-to-track scenario you had shown. Because the ledge is not fully straight, I do the Fence-to-Track calibration without the ledge. 2. Did you notice the fasteners for the Ledge are in the way of bearing it on the edge of a board? You cannot randomly use either side of the ledge because of those protruding fasteners. 3. The Ledge and the Edge of the Triangle are not flush. The Ledge stops short of the edge of the triangle. Thankfully that is the desired flaw, if there has to be a defect. I do appreciate and have high quality tools from TSO and Woodpeckers. In this case, the Triangle is just going to be used for layout, and not for measuring. I’ve found the China tools do not have accurate scales for measurements. And I do not trust China manufacturing for router bits and power tools. For my targeted usage, with the price and value points, and even with the three flaws, I decided to keep the triangle. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experiences with the China tools. Every bit helps to inform our decisions.
Thanks for sharing you experience. First thing I check is that all edges are straight with a precision straight edge. My triangle and it's stock were both straight. I know what you mean about housing in the stock being very deep. Could be of concern if you were to continually remove it, making it prone to damage but, I keep mine attached. Thankfully my screw heads don't protrude at all. They're clear of each reference edge by about half mm. Not a lot but enough. I had no intention of using this for measurement, not least because its imperial only so I didn't even concern myself with its accuracy in that regard. With regards Chinese tools and machining accuracy mire generally, like everywhere, you get the production you pay for. There are cheap, often dissappointing Chinese tools, and premium ones. Hongdui a good example of the later. Their products easily comparable to offerings from Harvey, Jessem etc. Not to mention all the premium tech sold in the West, manufactured in China. Their problem isn't manufacturing or engineering prowess. I think it's more that they don't particularly get, or "do" brands. Woodpeckers for example understand that their brand - and the (often ludicrous) premium they attach to it - lives or dies via the quality of every item they make. Outside of the domestic market, it's very hard to find companies like that in China. Veiko for example make some excellent quality, accurate tools for an excellent price. They also fill out their range with some rubbish. Hongdui seems to be a change on that front. One to watch.
Another corker, cheers mate
Thank you!👍
It took a lot of trial and error for me first starting out and I did fall into the trap you mentioned the only glue you will ever need. I do like a quick set for small projects and open time for big projects I don’t use Titebond it’s to expensive here in Oz. Shelley’s is my go too they have a great variety and it’s a reasonable price for what you get. Plus it’s made here. Thanks for sharing it’s a great topic and I’m interested to see what others use cheers
Yeah, it can take a while to work out what you like at first. Great you've found a home team glue that suits. Titebond 3 is essentially a D4 grade glue, same as I use. I use the everbuild brand as it's the right price point and a proven product👍
Well, what a great, interesting video, thank you, glad you mentioned hide glue, as a restorer I use almost exclusively hide glue, as it is reversible, with heat, warm water and even vinegar. Thanks again and be lucky
Thank you! Hide glue is a classic and perfect for many restorations. Very unique properties. Unfortunately, for my designs, it wouldn't hold up. But, it's one I think should always be in the conversation👍
The mighty John Heisz uses construction adhesive in most of his work, and he makes very decent furniture. Maybe it’s better stuff in Canada.
Brands can make a difference but we have some fine PU in the UK too. No disrespect to John Heisz but a serious furniture maker or production outfit that uses a construction pu glue is ultra rare. It's too messy (doesn't clean well initially, can stain later), which can make it hard to spot/check a closed (or not) joint and, can degrade before time if there's air or hollow in the wood/joint. What it is though, is quick. That has its appeal. I'd rather take my time. 👍
@@BischBaschBosch Mr Heisz is ultra rare, I’d contend, but points taken, thank you.😇
Interesting stuff. I like to keep things simple and stick to a few basic products. Pretty much everything I make gets the Titebond 3 treatment...it seems to work well and has never failed me. 2 part epoxy ( whatever brand I have lying around) deals with sticking dissimilar materials, and mitre bond for a quick bonding job. The one glue that I never use, and loathe is polyurethane....too messy, too sticky and the only type of adhesive that has ever let me down.
Sounds like we have a similar general approach. I meant to mention titebond 3 as, in terms of properties, it's a D4 glue. Not all D4 grade glues are equal I've found over the years. Everbuild, titebond and Evo I rate for this glue.👍
Excellent tips indeed! Thank you very much! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice one, thank you👍
You can still get some Wilko stuff at The Range as the now own the Wilko IP
Yeah, noticed some wilko bits there. Not my beloved tape though☹
@@BischBaschBosch I will miss Wilko's blue tape £3 a roll and a lot of garden bits I used to get ( the reason I went to the Range )
👍👍👍 Very useful information. Thank you
Nice one, cheers👍
Found the range was selling Wilko DIY stuff last week , albeit in Derby. Very used video, that I have squirrelled away in my for future reference save. Cascamite I only heard about recently, but sounds ideal for some of the outside stuff I make > Thank You
That's great, cheers. Cascamite is a proven outdoor glue. Very strong. Take care to clean any squeeze out off straight away. Dries almost like glass and won't chisel or sand off easily if you leave a blob.👍
That type of smear test is now a PAP test BTW 😁. The D4 Everbuild is good value. No PU glue? You may be drummed out of YT guild…..
Just couldn't resist the smear quip mate. In construction, pu is really handy glue. Keep it the hell away from fine furniturr though - KZread or not!!😂
@@BischBaschBosch likewise to your smear I raise you PU 😆
There are still five Wilko's left; two in Devon, two north of London and one in Rotherham. Plus they deliver.
Didn't know that. Might be in Devon next week. If I am and I see Wilko, I'm gonna buy em out of double sided tape!😂
@@BischBaschBosch They appear to have been bought by The Range. It would appear that you can do click and collect for some Wilko products at The Range. I would assume that they will not have all the products they did so check the website.
@@johnclements6614 Got a Range up the road from me. Not got the wilko tape though. I'll check online.👍
Do bother miter bars stick out past the fence surface by the same amount? The Hongdui looks a little short, but it could just appear that way because it's so beefy. I have that Incra and love it although the Hondui looks better. I guess following is always easier than leading, but it all drive innovation!
I used the same mitre gauge bar with each. If anything, I think the Incra fence is more chunky in the body where it meets the gauge and so, on the Hongdui, the bar sticks out a little further. I think what bothers me about the Incra- good as it is - is they haven't changed it in 20 years. They haven't finessed or even recognised it's shortcomings. I think this has allowed Harvey, Jessem and now Hongdui (very similar to Harvey) to surpass them. Well, for my needs anyway.👍
I wish all review videos were as concise and detailed as this. Thank you for not padding this with "like and subscribe" guff and "wassup guys" intros. For this I have liked and subscribed. Cheers
Thanks for that. Appreciated 👍
Sniped that pro version of it at a very nice 113 euros these days. Thats a helluva bang for the buck.
Wow, that's a great price! I'm sure you'll love it 👍
Hongdui is like iPhone quality from the top to the bottom and miter gauge in the woodwork industry is very very important it have to accurate exact like Rolex is few on the market prices is like for the quality to expensive like vevor jess em harvey incra Rutland I personally won’t expend 20 pounds in one them but hongdui works every penny 250 pounds for that quality not expensive at all thanks very much sleep well 😴
For mitre gauges and fences, I would say Harvey and Hongdui are about the best. 👍
An honest assessment, well done Stew. A few issues to be aware of but still an excellent piece of kit. Now where is my credit card!
Cheers bud. I wouldn't say it had issues so much as I thought some of the claims were exaggerated. Hopefully this gives a better idea of what to expect. It is still a great bit of kit. 👍
Good honest review Stew, I saw Dennis’s original videos and was impressed with the way they took his comments on board 👍. I bought the much cheaper Veiko T600 a few months ago and am very happy with it 😁.
Nice one mate. Nothing wrong with the veiko. Very good for the money. I can see how this one with the drill guides could be useful for fitters and cabinet makers but definitely a luxury tool.👍
👍👍👍. Thank you
Cheers 🙌😁
I saw Dennis’ review of the original T square and thought it was great that Hongdui acted upon his feedback and the flaws and limitations he identified. The resultant HoW edition is indeed a tool of beauty, very nice indeed. Thanks for the review Stuart
Thank you mate. Yeah, I think Dennis did a great job presenting flaws in the orig6and recommending improvements. That Hongdui took them on board is great. Similar to their colab with Katz-Moses on the router plane. It's seems good way of working. 👍
Could you use this square to create the locating MFT holes in a work bench? Follow up with a 20 mm forsner bit on a drill press. That might be a popular video!
For laying it out and doing 3mm pre holes, sure. Problem with using a 20mm forstner is they're 20mm. Dogs tend to be a 10th or so smaller so a bit loose in a 20mm hole. The ujk drill bit for mft's is a fraction smaller to allow for this. I'm not massively sold on home made mft's tbh. They need to be bang on to work properly. Cnc'd ones from bog standard mdf are only 50 quid or so. You're right though. Would probably be a popular vid. Just can't bring myself to so a how-to for something I'd never do myself.🤷♂️👍
@@BischBaschBoschI don't want a full MFT MDF. I am considering a few rows on my work table. In USA I have found very high pricing for MFT MDF boards.
@@petermchenry8185 Ah I see. For a few holes, it'd be ideal. I was just concerned if you wanted a fence and rail system via dog holes. Can't beat cnc accuracy for that. I did hand drill a couple of rows for my solid wood bench for use with the front vise. I could extend those rows as a demo perhaps 👍
Great review as usual, this is for sure a Trophy tool for most hobby Woodworkers, but does look like something Thor himself would hold. Does some to have a major price hike for the tweaks they did after feedback from Dennis. Would love to see a smaller 400mm version, with matching price.
Cheers mate. Yeah, more a nice to have but, is a great tool. Once you add the extra couple of guides and the quick release mech, the price hike is about right I think. Like I say though, folk could just buy the OG version and add guides as needed if they can live without quick release. 👍
@@BischBaschBosch Hi yes on the price I was referring to the current selling price €65 is the best price today for the old version versus €145 for the HoW version. I cannot see a way to justify more than double the price. I guess one is just reduced to clear.
@@garyhenderson9303 Wow. Didn't realise they'd reduced the original by that much! You might be right - clearance of old stock🤷♂️
Commendably honest review! Also, as you say, great credit to both Dennis and Hongdui. Refreshing these days to see companies willing to take advice/suggestions on board.
Thanks mate. Yeah, I've noticed on Hongdui site they encourage outreach. Seems they're true to it. Input from Dennis definitely improved it.👍
Ah not Metric. 😞
I know. I was a bit gutted about that.
This the very best but where is the rest don’t used different things don’t work I have the complete miter gauge is the bestie in the market very accurate forget the copy thanks
It's a great piece of kit.👍
Thanks for the great review
Thank you😁👍
Thanks for the video, been eyeing up the router plane this week since i watched your video on it, already looks a handy price for 117 but might as well wait and see i guess!
Cheers. That's already a great price for it. The "pro" version with the depth stop is the one to get. So nice having that feature. Interested to see if it gets any cheaper in the sale!👍
@@BischBaschBosch yes, hard to imagine it being cheaper than it already is tbh, I'll cross my fingers though
Awesome review, man! Thanks a bunch! 😊 They make some pretty nice tools indeed! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks mate. They do. Hope they continue.👍
