I’ve been using these in engineering for over 25 years, the Poly PTX. Back in the early 2000’s the machine was around £450-£500, and the replacement drums around £25, we still use them today, and the drums are readily available. I missed the price on this machine, and I’m not sure I want to know….😭
Hey Tomasz - your English is great, certainly a few thousand times better than my Polish! I'm guessing you were in the West Midlands (Wolverhampton?), judging by what I can detect from your English accent. All the best, Rob in Switzerland.
@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 Hahaha! Unfortunately my brain is tied up with learning Greek at the moment. It's my fifth language after English, French, German and Italian. After Italian uses up all the vowels, at least the consonants are left over for Polish! Χαιρετισμούς από την Ελβετία, Rob
Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing. The machine looks very interesting. I'm looking forward to see more videos on it. I'll have a look if it's for sale in the online shop of LIDL Slovakia.
Warning. When using this tool with a mixture of wood and metal, I would urge caution. Hot metal sparks can easily start a fire if blown into a container full of fine sawdust. In other words, your dust extractor is full of fine sawdust. If you use this machine with your regular dust extraction running, there is a chance (admittedly quite slim) that you could be throwing red hot metal shards into the extractor, which could cause a fire in your dust extractor. Otherwise, excellent video. Thank you.
@@daveash9572 This brush doesn't create sparks, it's synthetic. However if you get a brass wire brush or metal wire brush then you potentially could get in trouble using them on metal, that's why they are dedicated for wood and like materials, and not for metal.
@@CasualDIY I found when I did some recently that the best results were to use a very coarse bristle to dig deeper into the soft wood between the rings before burning and then a softer brush after. The deep texture of the wood was beautiful especially when the light hit it from an acute angle. I tried staining wood samples with some bright colours, using ink then lightly sanding to remove it from the raised grain but leaving it in the textured grooves. I thought looked great but my friend decided she preferred the more natural contrast of the charred wood with the blond wood in the deep grooves. The best bit was, every piece of slow-grown pitch pine we used was free from a skip outside a house having its roof replaced and much higher quality than the crap you’d find in a DIY Center.
@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 Lucky with the wood I can see. Yes it's all about experimentation and finding the result you are after. And there could be some surprises along the way 😄👍
@@CasualDIY yeah I'm too invested in parkside batteries to buy other brands, and Lidl don't do online sales here in UK so all I can do is wait for things I want to appear in store.
I found the machine in the LIDL online shop in Slovakia, where I read the review. One of the repeating remarks was, that LIDL does not provide spare brush cylinders. Or didn't they read the manual? Where did you order the brush cylinders for wood? Are they also from Parkside, or an other brand? In case the latter, how will you know it will fit?
The brushes are standard consumables which are offered by many manufacturers. From cheap products from china to expensive brands. The size is normally 120x100 or 100x100 mm. Both sizes fit
Apart from the lack of a dust cover, there is another reason why the two machines are not comparable. A normal angle grinder has a higher speed, usually over 10000 rpm. The brushes are not designed for this. Even if you have an angle grinder with speed control, there is another problem. It lacks power in the lower range. This machine, on the other hand, has a different gear ratio and only rotates at 3200 rpm, but delivers more torque to the shaft.
As usual the UK is treated badly by Lidl In Europe you can buy on the Lidl web site, But in the UK Lidl provides no facilities to purchase goods online also some tools you see on the European Lidl sites you don't usually see in there UK shops. It's a shame because I buy a lot of Lidl tools.
That is a shame to be honest. I think before Brexit what used to happen, certain tools dropped in UK stores and then (for example) in Poland they came in about a week or two weeks later. Shame you can't order Parkside tools online through Lidls website. There is a ton of cool tools there that I don't think you will see in store.

It made a fine job of that metal! I’d just worry about sourcing replacement drums, brushes etc down the line.
Why is that? They are not Parkside unique. I've bought three other brushes all from different brands. No issues in getting them.
@@CasualDIY ah, good to know… thanks for the info :)
Lidl online?
Love your cyclonic, long arm dust collector.Nice!
Thanks, got a video on that 😅👍
Pretty impressive tool indeed, Tomasz! Thanks for the review!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you for watching 👍
I have one of these machines it is great for cleaning up whisky barrel staves and lids.
_And next time.. Thomasz is going to show us, how to turn the darn thing into a stationary drumsander_
@@GNU_Linux_for_good haha I was thinking of exactly that 🤣 for sanding down my end grain chopping boards and resin boards flat 👍😁
@@CasualDIY ;-)
Interesting tool, never seen one before
@@azza1793 it's not very popular but it has it uses, hopefully I'll show them in my future videos👍

It's far, far, far cheaper now
@@krazytroutcatcher they go back even further, just a new take on old methods,.

@@RobWhittlestone Hehe thank you, lived in Leicester/Rugby arena for 15 years. But a lot of people I've worked with were from Birmingham 😅
@@CasualDIY Ah yes - I can hear the Birmingham then! I lived in Leicestershire as a child - OK, mi duck?! Best, Rob
Maybe you should polish up your Polish.

Anyone does have an idea when this is actually rolling out to the stores (ore e-shop) in the EU? Can't find any information online. Thanks!
This looks like i could use it to refinish my delorean(i wish)😊
@@karencarroll1324 😅👍
Would be really interesting to see how it deals with wood that has been scorched like Sho Sugi Ban style?
@@dougwardle2175 that's one of the reasons I bought this tool 😅 that will be on mu channel soon 👍
It works really well. But it is dirty.
Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing. The machine looks very interesting. I'm looking forward to see more videos on it.
I'll have a look if it's for sale in the online shop of LIDL Slovakia.
Thanks, all those videos are coming 👍
Hi Tomasz i like the look and finish of this machine. When did you get it as ive had a look for it and its not arround?
@@grantkay7230 I've bought it off Lidls website
I think it would be great if you used it for suesusiban (I don't think I spelt that right). When you burn, then sand it.
@@markduggan3451 that's planned for another video with different brush

@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 definitely nothing wrong with that 👍
I'm a fan of most parkside tools. Mostly though, I want to know how long it took you to adopt your current accent ?
I lived in Leicester/ Rugby area for 15 years 😅👍

Yes, here is the first video ua-cam.com/video/o59zoqQY8FA/v-deo.htmlsi=jBTkTheuYaTt6tgp

lidl's parkside range sold online, odd I cant find that
Not a popular tool so may not be available everywhere. Check the links I have in the description of this video for some options on Amazon.

And I still don't need it
It's only been a day. The seed has been sown...
@@markkieran1004 ah! But the seed has fallen on arid ground.
Och go on 😂
Since when was that an issue in the Middle of Lidl. I was in there today and I bought some clamps. I don’t have many clamps.
Honestly...
@@pinkplonker8776 but do you need them?
a quick google and found just the attachment for £18 with £9 delivery from ebay

those bars on the spindle is a stupid idea, just have the spindle in that shape
