I am a husband, a father of 2 beautiful daughters, a former industrial electrician that recently made my way back to the West Texas oilfields. But most of all, i am a TOOL ADDICT!!!
Here at, “Brads Workbench” you will see a new TOOL REVIEW EVERY WEEK. I don’t get caught up in the mundane details of every single feature of every tool. I actually use the tools for a couple months before posting a review of them. If I like it and I haven’t destroyed it, chances are it’s a quality tool.
Along with the tool reviews you will see a splash of woodworking, a touch of How To/DIY, and a pinch of vintage tool restoration. But NO UNBOXINGS!
You can help to add to my recipe for KZread DOMINATION by clicking that subscribe button. By doing so you will undoubtedly secure your seat in heaven 😇😆 So sit back, relax and enjoy the reviews and ramblings of Brad at his Workbench.

My table saw had a lot of surface rust when I got it, but I first just sprayed it down with wd-40 then put a red scotch-brite pad on the table and sat my random orbital sander down on top of it and went to town on it. It took the better part of a Saturday afternoon but it eventually shined up enough that I then just put a well worn 120 grit used sanding disc on the sander and finished shining it up with that. Afterwards I just put a coat of Johnson wax on it and it has remained in good shape since.
You literally skip the only step showing how to remove the. Clutch
Channellock patented this version with the crimper . These are what I've used for years
I say cool Dad. Those are cool and let's be real how much longer is she gonna need them. 👽
I vote for cool dad. Now she can decorate both of them however she likes. Bill
Already watched it. Bill
Good Review. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
This router table and router is a piece of crap. The fence is not stable, the plastic fasteners to tighten the fence striped out,the adjustment worm on the router slips and in general it's not worth 2 cents.
Yet to have any of those issues 🤷♂️
1:47 I laughed good video
Twice in one week! How lucky can we be? lol Bill
Lol i never realized that video was set to private 🤣
Good job, Brad. Bill
Thanks bud. Love to see ur still around & keeping an eye on my channel
I used it to cut slot in a tiny brass screw that was stripped- worked perfectly.
I have this same one, I LOVE the fact it has a granite bed... granite is much harder to scratch than steel. Don't know why the $$$ DeWalt planers don't use a granite bed. I have had one issue where there seems to be a indent in some kind of internal feed bar, which results in a raised line in soft woods... it isn't a nick in the blades. Not sure how to fix that just yet.
If u are sure thats the problem, id break it down, get pics/video and contact wen. Their tools come with 2 year warranty and even if out of warranty u may just get a cool customer service guy that may send u a replacement. If that fails id watch the used market since this planer is sold under a few brands
Does anyone know if the fence can be upgraded? Like with an aftermarket fence such as one of the fences from Rockler?
Idk if there is a direct replacement but wouldnt be hard to make ur own from wood or extruded aluminum
Good to know about the degraded suck off quality 😂😂
I just picked up the same model, same price too!. Same condition as well. I am using Rustoleum's rust remover. Saves on sandpaper and is gentle on the top. So far it is looking good!
Generally i try to avoid lengthening so stuff like that because im a moron and without thinking ill give it the gronk with a lever twice as long as it was designed to deal with. Iv broken a bunch of shit this way lol But this looks like a perfect application for a cool handle. Has a stop so you cant destroy the banjo bolt/nut. Looks nice too
100% totally get that. Same reason i use stubby ratchets often. Keeps me & others from over tightening
Does your wife love your hair like that, if she does then just leave it. It looks cool to me, but it's not important what I think
Lol she deals with it
They need to advertise more, that is the problem, never heard of them here in NYC.
I acquired a knockoff pana at some point but it has the terrible suction base so if I want to use it I gotta throw it in the woodworking vise. Inconvenient but very useful. I'll eventually drill some holes and remove the rubber or something to bolt it down on a chunk of plywood I can clamp down
Could u weld it to a c clamp? Same basic idea
I watched the original video. Tung oil holds up well to boiling but how about an actual test on a cutting board that you wont be boiling but CUTTING on?
If u go to my tiktok i have a full playlist showing boards of various ages and a bunch of more details/tips from myself and others. Ill try to link it but yt might not allow

@@BradsWorkbench The link worked, thanks. I have a new hefty 15 lb proteak 18x24x1.5 board. I intend to let it dry out, then sand with high grit then apply Tung oil in light coats and wipe off, until dry. Then let it cure for a month. Then apply mineral oil and thereafter maintain with mineral oil/beeswax paste that I made. I think it’ll hold up great
Mineral oil is just fine. Everyone is always digging for new content
Better off to leave ur board raw if, "just fine" is all ur after. In fact, id prefer that over soaking it in a petroleum byproduct. To each their own 🤷♂️
@@BradsWorkbench dude it’s beeswax and mineral oil from reputable companies. Maybe cheap products are cutting corners. But not every company is a pos. Stop spreading false information
its 80$ now
Yeesh. Most major lines sell cordless ratchets now too. If i was buying today and already was invested in a line, then I'd prob just stick with it. Even walmarts hyper tough has and extended head cordless ratchet now
u never even used it in the video , typical i guess it was too be expected
Lol it spins. Its not an impact, what exactly were u wanting to see 🤣
@@BradsWorkbench from my last comment i have used and yes i agree am new too using these tools so i will buy a impact wrench , thanks for the video and for the response you made i would cusss man out if this was over a electric scooter as i know so much about them but with these tools its all new too me despite being in my 30s lol i will lean this year as i have a lot of maintenance too do on my scooters and upgrades. thanks for the video
Everyone starts somewhere 👍
Thanks for the video. Wondering if it would be possible to set this cart up with the drawers on the bottom of the cart? It looks like that might be possible with a little DIY, but not sure. What do you think @BradsWorkbench?
I bet u could. But would require some holes to be drilled. But i dont see anything glaringly obvious that would stop u
Good idea! I believe Harbor Freight, Lowe’s or Home Depot has basically the same swivel vise. Its relatively cheap as well. 👍
Yea, a few brands make similar ideas
So what lathe are you going with
I got the laguna 1836
@@BradsWorkbench that's a significant jump in price. I am considering a metal lathe that can work with both since i plan on working with wood with hard finishes and small metal parts.
Ive turned some very large projects on a BIG metal lathe at work. It has its pros and cons. But ive turned a lignum vitae baseball bat on the lag 1836 without issue. With carbide tooling it went fairly easily. But def could have taken more aggressive passes with a metal lathe.

Good info, Brad. Bill
What's it called?
Panavise
I hate u for that 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ha! Honestly i forgot completely about this old video
HOW CAN YOU COMPARE A TOP OF THE LINE PRODUCT TO A BOTTOM FEEDER P O S
If u think that dewalt is top of the line, ur line is pretty low
.....also, i never compared them. The thumbnail was basically just refering to how more planers should (and now have) come with spiral cutterheads as an option. Too many spend $700 on that dewalt planer, then drop another $500+ on a replacement cutterhead. There are better options out there than a yellow plastic lunchbox planer for that kinda coin.
This bit is ⭐️ONLY $15⭐️ right now as well! I'll put link below and also as a reply to this comment thread, by itself.

It was the music from Prof that made me comment . Keep up the great wood working skills brother.
Ha! Appreciate it 🤙
Can you put a variable speed 110 v adapter on it to slow it down more???? Do you think it would be tough on the motor or have no effect?
No, those only work on brushed motors. There have been people that have swapped the motor with treadmill motors + controls on youtube
I need a place where I can get loose BITCH LOOSE!
Ayo love me some prof didn’t think id hear high priced shoes on a wood working short
Lmao
Big mistake but at least you could salvage it. Bill
Enjoying watching what we used to hate doing together almost 20 years ago lol. Keep it up my man! You are doing amazing work
This is a little different 🤙 but its funny cuz i was just thinking about that day we got off early 😆
@@BradsWorkbench I forgot about that 😂
**BEGINNERS NOTE** I have this cutter flipped upside down and shaper running in reverse. Just the way I prefer to do panels, for a multitude of reasons. BUT REMEMBER, u always want to push into the rotation. Notice at the end u can see the rotation of the cutter as it comes to a stop *for the safest technique at least.
Alright,which direction is safer? Left to right or right to left? Just watched a different short saying left to right is dangerous
which rotation is the cutter.... Just like on a metal lathe feeding into the cut is safer because you are pushing material and it is pushing back called conventional milling the opposite is called climb and is where the cutter wants to suck the material in.
Exactly what bryceg said. 👍 im running the shaper in reverse in this video
To keep it simple, u always want to push into the rotation. Notice at the end u can see the rotation of the cutter as it comes to a stop *for the safest technique at least.
It would be a lot less scary with a feeder, Brad. Bill
I use a feeder on the other shaper. But i do alot of arched panels so just keep this shaper set up for that most the time
As nice as tung oil is, it comes from a tree nut, which means someone, somewhere, is ( honey as well ) going to be allergic. Do not believe anyone has ever been allergic to mineral oil,( if you insist on oiling). Secondly, wood tends to "soak up" and kill bacteria very effeciently,(multiple studies) to the point that dead bacteria cannot be recovered. When you add oils of any kind to the board, it somewhat impairs its ability to absorb and kill bacteria as effeciently . I have multiple cutting boards and have NEVER oiled one, and advised people who have boards I've made ,not to oil. If you want them looking nice just resand them. Just my two cents.
Ur first point is false....dig a little deeper than the first few google searchs and youll find out why. And 2, if u dont want to oil ur board at all, then by all means. Bur it wont last as long or look as nice as a properly maintained one. Soap also kills bacteria 🫡
Which part of first point, tree nut, allergy, or mineral oil part? Suggest you try not oiling one of your boards. They start looking ugly after heavy use anyway and need resurfacing. I have several boards that I have been using over twenty years, and they look as good as new. One stays on my main counter and is approx 3' long x 2' wide x 2" thick. I have probably resanded it maybe three times in last 20years. When I do, I use a Festool RO150 , finalizing it with 1500 essentially burnishing the wood to a mirror like finish. The shine goes away after wiping it down because it actively absorbs, because it's never been oiled.
I think this tool is for jewelry and fine work. Not hardware rated application
Sharpening is pretty fine work imo
Leverage works wonders! Plus it’s cool looking. Custom!
sadly the grain direction is a killer on this one ...
Didnt i mention that
I recently sharpened an exacto knife blade for my crafts, I used the burnishing bit on the cord to remove rust from tools - I think its a great tool for art & crafts uses.
Glad it worked well for u. Guess i was expecting too much outta the little fella
Nice job!
Thanks!
Nice idea, Brad. Bill
