Hi Eddy,
I have a Record BS250 and have been using blades from Axminster. To be honest I am not too thrilled with them. I have had two 1/2″ 4t blades that have performed well, but I did get one that was so bad it needed me to present the wood at 45 deg to get a straight cut. I took it back and true to the Axminster form they changed it without quibble. I am following this thread should be interesting…..1 November 2016 at 8:56 pm #142100Hi David,
Normally with this type of arrangement only one of the cogs is engaged at any one time, and this is achieved by sliding the brass part up and down, as the different cogs mesh this will alter the ratio. You can see the slot in the brass piece in the centre where you slide it and then lock it in position. It looks like this brass centre piece is a little too large, is it a replacement??? As suggested earlier it needs stripping down and checking out.5 October 2016 at 10:52 am #141181You may want to look at Pauls Video “Sharpening Moulding Planes” at https://woodworkingmasterclasses.com/2014/07/moulding-plane-sharpening/
20 July 2016 at 1:02 pm #138652I read an article once on the web about a maker who, before starting work every morning he limbered up by making a few dovetails to “get his hand in” He likened this to a sports person doing stretching exercises….
Not sure I would get too much work done after that!!Cheers

I guess you have to look at the obvious first. Are the V grooves clean, and does the stem of the blade fit neatly along its length. Could the stem be bent and not touching along the length of the clamp and rear stay.
In the short term the easiest way to eliminate most of the slippage is to take out the slack in the adjuster before you use the router to cut, this will effectively stop the blade riding up because the adjusting nut will keep it from moving.
Hope this helpsGeoff
12 April 2016 at 2:12 pm #136315Hi Mark – I have been using this diamond stone for almost a year now, and I have not come across any problems as yet. It is a very inexpensive but functional stone

Or don’t you need the competition!6 June 2015 at 10:21 am #127558Matt,
I too have started to make my own collection of Hollows and Rounds, but I came across a very good video recently by Tod Herrli, call strangely enough “Hollows and Rounds” where he shows you step by step the way they are made, plus lots of other information. I think it was around $25. contact Todd directly on is email to find out more
[email protected]Good luck with the rest, the first ones look great

The best way to smooth off the edges is to use a coarse oil stone, this will bring the edge off easily, but don’t use you best one, as it may groove the surface. I use this method to take off the Arises before fitting glass to a project as a matter of course.
Good luck.11 January 2015 at 1:44 pm #123381Juan,
Thanks for the comparison but where did you get the UK version fromCheers

Have you tried the nails/pins you get in picture hooks, these generally are hardened and make good scribing pins
