I was thinking the same hope all ok with you Andy really miss your in-depth reviews. Just waiting to take delivery of my Laguna 16/32 based on your recommendation. Cheers Philip
Hi Andy The 16/32 is a brilliant piece of kit takes a lot of the ball ache out of sanding and produces an excellent finish. Once you get the hang of changing the paper its a breeze, Philip
Nice one Andy...I have something simular so not going to purchase...BUT with the 30% discount the price in the UK comes in at £26.59 thats bloody mad that.... well worth a shout. Cheers Paul
Hi Steve, I have opened up a second channel called CAD CAM 4 Woodworkers it focuses on the computer aided side of woodworking. So CNC, Laser and 3D print. As always through the eyes of a woodworker. Started it a few months ago - will very slowly add content and see what happens. Andy
Hi Andy As with one or two others. Hoping you are ticking along OK. Seems like you have some support should you need it. For me I have purchased several thousand pounds of woodworking gear with a vision of producing something to be proud of. So far a couple of planters and a shelving unit for the wife. Not what I was planning on. Still. Keep plugging on. If you were a mate on the doorstep……
Warranty- all Amazon deliveries come with 30 money-back. A mains tool that needs batteries for the light! The threaded nose outer part is not the collet.- what you call the chuck is the collet. There are two sizes of collet used on these rotary tools, and they are mutually incompatible. It would be useful to know which one this uses. I have both a mains power rotary tool (Dremel) and a 12v battery version (Bosch professional). They mains one never gets used- no lead is so much easier to use. You certainly get a lot of kit for the money...
Hi Mike, Good to see you back in touch, you have corrected me for ages :-) The no quibble bit is added value, Amazon 30 day can be be a bit hit and miss - especially on Chinese tools. You are correct on the collet, not sure what size this one has - it isn’t mentioned in the blurb. LoL on the batteries for the light, yes that could have had a better solution. And you do get a lot of kit. However having used it a little more now, some of those accessories are not top quality, the wire brushes have already gone in the bin. Good to see you back, hope all is OK. Andy
@@TheWoodgrafter The different size collets are really annoying- and the description (esp on Amazon) is often incorrect. One size is 8mm, I cannot remember the other. The accessories from many sources leave a lot to be desired- but they are very cheap. Sort of super disposable. I do not intend to criticize- just adding to the conversation... Reviews of cheap tools like this are very useful. I recently bought a cheap nail gun based on a similar review, and I am delighted with it. Keep up the good work!
Hi Mike, Your point about the accessories is very valid. One thing I wanted to use this for was to remove the ‘fuzz’ left by an up-cut bit on the CNC. I use a plastic type brush in the drill to remove the bulk, then finish by hand. Used the wire brush that came with this tool - lasted about ten seconds and in the bin. So perhaps not the best value on the accessories. The tool itself is very good though. Cheers Andy
Hi Andy, looks like a good value product but is an unashamed copy of a Dremel, even down to the flexible drive which has been available for the Dremel for decades. I bought a Dremel with all the accessories including a drill press attachment for my eldest son when he was a youngster. He’s now 37. Regards, Steve
Have been following your learning building a bookcase . I'm stuck! In the 3rd video when you duplicate the inner panels your have check marks on them to delete them. I don't get the check marks and can't get rid of the unwanted panels. Is it something you set up in parameters? Or something else. Please help !
Hi Thomas. Thank you for checking in. I had to take some extended time away due to family and work issues. I will be back (hopefully in the New Year). Hope all is OK with you.
Hi Paul, Thank you for the concern (and kick) all good now, but it has been a bad few months. I will be back and posting after Easter. Hope all is OK with you. Andy
@@TheWoodgrafter Andy so good to hear that, and sorry you have had a bad time (I did Email you)..Me...I had lost a bit of zip with my woodworking and the Lawn bowling season isstarting. But i have plenty of stock and some good equipment, so i just need a bit of a kicking also. Best wishes Paul
No videos for over 6 months. Few mildly interesting vids from time to time but has he given up? Never really got many subscribers so difficult to keep going I suppose but best wishes.
Please, please, please stop describing everything as "super" this and "super" that! You're a middle aged English bloke, not a teenage American girl! Apart from that great video and a good economy tool.

Hi Paul,
Yep at that price you can’t really go wrong. Especially with that warranty.
Cheers
Andy
@@TheWoodgrafter You ok Andy?
Hi Andy, how are you keeping? Any idea when you will return apologies I guess a lot of folks are asking/thinking the same!
Steve
Where can I get that instruction book?
Hi Andy, are you Ok, it’s an inordinate time not to post an update! I guess 18k subs are thinking the same
Steve
Hi Andy. Haven’t heard from you for a while. I hope everything’s okay. Let us know if we can help with anything.
It is a bit strange .
Hi All,
Now this tool is worth having a look at. 😊
Hi Andy hope you are keeping well
Hi Andy, didn’t quite catch what you said towards the end of the video about your cad channel? Am I missing something!
Steve
Hi Steve,

Great video. Can I use it to cut metal or plastic
Hi Andy,
Hope all is well. Have you taken a break from uploading or have I missed an announcement ?

Hi can you please tell me what bit to attach for cutting out intricate shapes?

Hi Steve,
I can’t argue with you on that point. The big unanswered question is will this have longevity.
But defiantly good value.
Andy
@@TheWoodgrafter How about that longevity? Thanks for the info!

Hey Andy, hope all is well been missing your great videos.
Thank you Kyle,
I will be back - had one hell of a bad year,
Cheers

@@TheWoodgrafter sorry to hear things have been bad. Hope all is better and the future looks bright. Hope to see you soon
Thanks a lot, Andy
You are welcome.
Andy
So never coming back , its been a year... Sad... 😕
Actually, in the process of making a video that will be released soon, then will be back up and running :-)
