Also you have the nicest and cleanest shops I’ve seen. Well done.
Many Thanks from Down Under here in Australia for taking the time to make such great videos. Have watched them all since you started and it is always great to see a new one.
Thanks again for going through all this trouble for us. I held off my T-track purchase just for you to release this video
Dennis, I have been a subscriber for some time now and really enjoy your videos. I can not thank you enough for turning on to Banggood, A real woodworkers toy store. I have been woodworking for over forty years and the products that you have shown from Bangggod not only improves my woodworking , but my enjoyment of my shop. I can not get colored MDF anywhere near me, so I am very jealous of how colorful your shop projects are. Keep up the great videos and I'll hope to be watching for many years to come.
Thanks, Dennis; great run down on all the available accessories and your use in your exceptional shop. Gave me a few new ideas.
I'm happy you're reviewing these Chinese made products. The name/origin of manufacturing has a negative connotation to it, but clearly you're displaying that most of their products have a decent amount of quality to them. Maybe a few things have been overlooked, like the size of the T track and the clamp being able to work together, but thanks to you we can avoid those mishaps. I'm definitely adding making a list for my workshop and will use your links :)
Dennis, crosscut sled looks amazing. Love the use of black MDF in your builds. Makes for a very sharp look in the shop. Thanks for the info on T- tracks and clamps.
You make the video flow so well. For me it can be used over and over again as a reference. Such great advice. I love your use of the black mdf (volchromat). It look so Mooi.
Thanks Barry
Have been following you because of your precision… thanks for all the tips and reviews any tools if purchased because of this have been very high quality
Another 'Just at the right time' viewer. I'm a long term DIY person but have just recently begun to do more wood work (mainly cabinets). The more I see on channels like yours, the more I realise how much there is to learn! I've just ordered track, clamps, measuring tapes and mitre stops (using your affiliate links). Thanks for your continued high quality output.
Another well done episode! Always a pleasure to watch! Cheers from the US!
Brilliant - I just finished watching all your China Tools serie. Banggood is amazing. Please keep it going. You have a fan in Orange Au, and I am have Dutch roots.
Just sum awesome information. Nice to know the differences in the tracks and the available ruler oprions.. Well done have a great day.
Hi I have waited for your track guide since you said about it, I am just trying to build a table so I have been waiting to see what you say, Great you are a lot of help. and collaboration with Peter Millard also
Hello,
I would like to take part in the competition and would also like to explain why: I have been following your channel for several months and have also viewed all the videos retrospectively and I am simply thrilled. I only made many of my purchase decisions for setting up my new small workshop with your videos (e.g. Atomstack A5, angle stop ...). I also found the stunning design with black MDF so exciting that I got some and used it to redesign my new workbench. I am very inspired by your channel and I always look forward to your new high-quality videos, for which I always take a lot of time and enjoy. Keep it up!!!!
My suggestion: when I made my t-track bench top I attached my t-track with with bolts with nuts on the backside instead of just screws in the wood. That gives it plenty of strength for clamping.
Thanks Dennis for the chance to win the sled
Dennis -- Thank you for making these videos; by which I mean all your videos, not just your China Tools series. The time you take shows in the quality of the video.
Question: Have you considered comparing aluminium T-tracks to T-slots cut into the wood itself? I'm not sure how well T-slots would work with MDF, but they seem to work very well with Baltic birch plywood or solid wood. The advantages of T-slots are they are stronger (unless the T-track is held in with long screws into material that holds screws well). They seem to be quicker and easier to install. (With a T-slot, once you've used your router to cut the slot, you're done. With a T-track, you need to cut a slot into the wood for the track and then cut the track to fit, and glue/screw it into place.) And, finally, T-slots are less expensive. The disadvantage of T-slots is that they would seem to wear out over time.
I ask because I think you could make an interesting and informative video addressing when and why you'd use one solution over the other.
Hi David, No I did not compare them. On this moment I can not compare them. I hoped my rail guide clamps would fit the T-tracks but this was not the case. Otherwise I would compare them. These smalle clamps do not fit the Micro Jig grooves. So, I did not have the opportunity yet.
Your timing is amazing. In the middle of rebuilding my drill press and needed advice on track and stops.
Thanks again Dennis👍
Thank you for making this lovely and useful video.
I gave you a like before watching. A very genuine person that seems to have found his passion. I already purchased many China tools thanks to your videos. Before that I would not have much expectation from such tools but many of them are really great. Greetings from Germany, keep up the good work👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks man!
Dennis, you are awesomeness itself. You have made up my mind on taking carpentry more seriously now. Your China tools reviews has me buying a new tool/accessory with a lot more conviction. Thank you so much for making this journey as enjoyable as it has been so far.
My workshop will probably be identical to yours at this rate. Love your stuff. Been binge watching you ever since I stumbled across your channel. Thank you so much for your dedication
I would have loved to win this fence u built.. I'll be getting on to ur website really soon too. These videos are very informative.. Thanks man.
Thank you for another great video, I will only use your links for banggood now. All of your fences and jigs look amazing, gives me something to aspire to.
Hi Dennis, Great video as always. This one was especially informative. I used your workbench style but with t track. I finally found some here in the US. Thanks again
Hi Dennis. Good video. Because you started with the basics and the foundation, I learned something. Keep on making excellent videos please. Groetjes uit Limburg en fijne vakantie.
Serious drill press base bravo
Another fantastic video
Well presented with great information. The time and research you spend for each product shows.
Well done.
Thanks Alan,
I discovered your channel recently and I'm delighted about this find. Thanks for all the work involved behind the scene!
Hi Dennis. Thank you again for this great and real life testing/usability video. Watched it a few times now as I am building my own work space. Just bought some items via your links. Hope you can keep making these videos. Appreciate time and effort you put into these. Gr. Danny
Thank Danny!
Dennis Absolutely Awesome Video , thank you so much for sharing this , you really are a Master Craftsman with the quality of your work , these videos are jam packed with so Much information , again Awesome
always look forward to you videos its prime time
Thanks Fruitman! Do you still enjoy my pocket hole jig platform?
Yes I do it’s well built and easy to use
Thanks for continued supply of great tools,builds and inspiration. I would love to have the crosscut sled/tabletop/fence/ mitre station you have built. I am currently trying to build a workshop of my own, but it is taking so long while I work full time and without the money to buy a lot of tools I have to make them. This build of yours would make my work so much more accurate and faster I can’t even express how excited I would be if I won. Please continue the China Tools series and I look forward to learning more from you.
Thanks,
Terry Miller

Leuk kanaal. Would be great to see how you finish this black MDF.
So jealous of the availability of black MDF you have.
based on your lastname i'm guessing you are dutch. In that case Gamma has it.
@@themplar I am but I am also living in Canada and have so far been unable to find a local source.
Any idea if there might be any available in Texas or from a supplier in the U.S.?
@@DarrenGerbrandt Ah. yeah that is probably gonna make it a whole lot more difficult.
I Love this episode. I think your episodes are really great!! It shows alternatives to many expensive items. Please continue doing these great videos!! Would love to see more tools and things for the shop!!
Another great video Dennis. As I mentioned on your Instagram account you have become a real artist in using your "patented" black MDF to make beautiful and functional items for your shop!
Thanks Richard!
I love these videos and have ordered quite a few tools 😃 Now with the new rules I need to have the ioss number from Banggood. Their customer service could not help and can’t find it. Do you have it?
Thanks for the information really good ideas from your drill press table.
Great Video as always Dennis... really like what you did to your drill press, I may need to copy that for mine
Hi Tom, It works really well with my drill press. I will make a new one with all the ideas. Perhaps I make a video about that too. But Have to see when, because I am busy and it works on the level on this moment is 90% so there is not that much to improve.
I only found ur channel today. It's brilliant.. I've been glued to these videos for hours now. Please
Could I ask what is in this BLACK MDF BOARD?? I just watched ur video on the dust extractor and u said something about BLACK MDF and the dust that comes off it?? Sorry of its a silly question but I love the look of it and hearing u say something about the dusk being pt so good makes me worry a little
This was absolute a top notch video. You sold me on getting some T-tracks for my starting workshop. Just the assembly alone looks like a lot of fun. I dont have any gear yet to use that crosscutsled, but it looks awesome! Thank you so much for making these videos, you make this stuff alot more affordable for me.
Great information. Good videos, you are spoiling me with all this nice addons
Wowzeers awesome crosscut sled I would love to have it
Great information Dennis! I am starting a new project and was waiting to see your recommendations. I too would like to enter for the table saw sled as I need to remake my current one, but I am not on Instagram. Thanks again for all the useful information.
Great video. The quality of the sleds and tables etc are awesome. Adding the accessories really finish them off 👌🙌👍
HI Dennis
Its grat to watch your videos.
You are my new benchmark
I just wonder how much time you spend for your videos
Question
I would like to make a crosscut sled and I both the front T track, do you have some more details regarding that?
also the Drill press solution is fantastic
Compliments from Serbia
Roberto
Excellent as usual Dennis.
Hallo Denis ! Habe dir ein Abo dagelassen , finde deine Videos über Chinatools die übrigens Super sind einfach toll .
Gruass aus Österreich 👍👍
Danke Milan!
THANK YOU AGAIN! This is another fantastic vid, looking forward for your next one.
Great video Dennis, really appreciate the time taken to make this. I've just started building a mitre saw station and I'm about to order some t track from banggood so your timing couldn't be better.
I also wondered, that the quick-clamps do not fit into the t-track. but they should fit with a makita or festool tracksaw from what i have seen
Hi Dennis,
Great review. Was just right in timing as I am currently looking excatly for theses products. Hoping for upcoming reviews- I am especially interested in automatic (Spring Loaded) Pin Punchers.
Some fantastic products there, Dennis! 😃
Awesome review! Thanks!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks Man! Always nice to read your comments!
Hi Denis, I love your videos, really well done. Thanks for the good info you provide on the products.
A question please: At around 10 minutes (and later in the video), you use a device to measure the clamping force of the clamps. What is that device called and where can I get one?
TX!!
Awesome stuff. I do have some of the t-tracks but i don't have a router yet. So any tips on how to router them into my 4,5cm plywood workbench would be really appriciated. Also i could give the crosscut slede a good home. And it wont have to travel far as i live near leiden 😁
Very god job with the channel!!! I love it! i'm waiting to see the new workshop. The X laser that you have in the columndrill is an extra? i can find it in some place¨? thanks! and continue like this!
No, it is standard
Very good quality. I subscribed.
Hi Denis,
Great video as usual, which router fence did you get, I was looking for a link but couldn’t seem to find one. Cheers from NZ
Hi Dennis, I am very interested in the Black Flip Stops you reviewed in this episode but Banggood is a little confusing as there are three different types, a Left, a Right and another one on its own which I am not sure of the difference. If it's not too much trouble I would be interested to know which ones you we're actually using in the video, thanks. Looking forward already to your next video.
Very honest opinion as normal thanks Dennis
Lieber Dennis, wieder ein tolles Video. Klasse erklärt, absolut neutral. Dafür: *****
Liebe Grüße aus Aachen
Roland
Es sollten 5 * sein. :-)
Danke Roland.
@@HookedonWood Gerne.
Very nice work and good information. I'm curious about the sled which I'm about to start building myself. When you laminate the black MDF onto the base layer (also MDF?), what do you do to keep everything flat while the glue dries?
Amazing video's Dennis, thx for the very useful information and reviews. I was at first a bit sceptical about the quality of the Chinese and much cheaper alternatives...but because of you I now own some clamps and other tools/jigs for a fraction of the price. Groetjes uit Belgie
Have you spotted a nice router sled for flattening wood on banggood?
Another great video. Thanks.
Yay been waiting for this one!!
Did I win?
Maybe, at the end of the month you know😀
@@HookedonWood just thought I'd save you having to wait a month ;)
Nice....again.... CT FOREVER
Hi Dennis, love the videos really helpful and informative. Could you advise what T Track @ Banggood is compatible with the VEIKO 2PCS Alloy Steel Upgrade Quick Ratchet Track Saw Guide Rail Clamp MFT Clamp. Can not seem to find this anywhere.
Bedankt voor deze video Dennis, topwerk👍 oh ja, ik heb echt een cross cut sled nodig😁
Nice one, I will have to watch it again before picking one type over the other for the new work table.
Dennis what was that finish/coating you used on black mdf?
Thanks
Hi, I use Danish oil!
@@HookedonWood thank you 👍
Denise I was curious if you have thought about expanding outside of bangood and do other types of product like the Wen 7 1/4” track saw plus other Wen items like drum sander, wall mount dust collector and the ceiling mounted air cleaner
Hi Robert, I do not know how things will go, but for now, Banggood sent me these items, so that is easy. If other brands will do, I will probably test them also. Perhaps in the future!
Great video from the master.
You rock Dennis!
reuze interessant. En zoals gewoonlijk best wel leerzaam! Groeten Joop
Dennis je was weer geweldig
Dennis, do you have plans out for that drill press table you did for China Tools ep 26? That thing looks awesome
I will make a new one. I promise to do a video about that including some drawings.
Thanks
I absolutely love your shop and all your content! You do it very well!
Hi Dennis, What is that black material that I see you use in your videos. Thanks
Hi, Could you tell me what the black material is you use on your work tops and pillar drill platform please? I am in the UK and have not come across this material. Thanks
Love your videos and I am also a Banggood customer.
Good tools for self employees
You should do a giveaway for these items you are building!
Wow! Denis when did you upgrade to Festool? are you going to do a video to explain the swap from Makita?
Recently, but perhaps in the future I will make a video. Makita is not bad at all. But working with a Festool is just that little bit more enjoyable. I do not know if that is important enough to make a video about it. I will think about it
@@HookedonWood the most interesting thing to me would be how the tools compare to Makita generally. Are some better and some worse? And why someone might choose featool over Makita. Thanks
Another fantastic video. Dennis could you tell me what sort of drill press you use? I especially like the laser pointers. Please keep doing these. They are unique.
I have a Jet JDP 17. Very lovely drill press. But you also have these lasers to add to your drill press. They are also very nice. Friend of my have them and love them very much. www.gereedschappro.nl/artikel/17712/wixey-wl133-drill-press-laser-kolomboormachine-laser.html
Very informative as usual. Thanks.
Great content and great video as usual. This is interesting and useful.
Excellent and informative video - but - BEWARE IF YOU ARE IN THE UK - from my selections quite a few didn't ship to the UK (from China or UK warehouse) - and a couple of items I put in my basket then had very high carriage charges added without telling you at the payment stage (I deleted them and started again)
I did order 4 lengths of track and a couple of other items at very good prices, with "free" - or in other words included shipping cost.
Thanks for the tips!
@@HookedonWood it looks like just the longer lengths (>500mm) have the much higher postage charge
Shame its only for Instagram which I don't use, but a great video none the less
Another great video Dennis .... Thank you.
Do springs add more clamping force?
Great Video, very informative !
Another great video Denis. Thank you so much. Do you know if the Miter Track Stopper for Fence will work in Incra T-tracks? I want to know both if the locking blue piece will fit in and lock in the internal slot in Incra track and also if the part of the base meant to slide in the top opening of the track will fit in that part of the Incra track and slide nicely.
As I watch your videos I was wondering what is that black material you are using for some of your tables.
Thanks
Hi Henry, please look at my site: hookedonwood.online/Frequently-asked-questions/ Here you can get all the information
Great video-Thank you
Woah Dennis that is a ridiculously fancy drillpress platform! Thanks for all the info, so many ideas now. Will of course use your links, again, to get the tracks and clamps :)
I see Hongdui also has micro adjusters for the flip stops, but they are a bit pricey. Do you think you can test those some time? :) Also the clear cut stock guides (Jessem clones) look pretty dam nice! And you could give those away when you’re done with them ;)
3 different sized T tracks. How do Banggood 'name' them please? Is it by external dimension?
And how do these sizes relate to accessories please?
Excellent review! Greetings from Chile
Which clamp for top of miter gauge t track? I need to clamp down over the fence.
Thanks for great content
Hey there. Since you have reviewed and used so much tools in your workshop AND you're a Domino owner. Do you have any idea how one could build a portable crossstop jig for the Domino. The systems that are on the market right now are either super expensive or not well thought-through. There has to be a good DIY way... Curious if you have any idea. What do you think about the original Festool crosscut stops? I hear a lot of negative reviews.
Great video! Very informative and useful!
Are you maybe planing on making a review video about your drillpress? I am very interested in getting one and I would love to hear your opinion! Also why did you change from Makita to Festool?
I will keep it in mind. The idea to change from Makita to Festool was always there. But the first accupack is always so expansive. When you have it, adding extra products asked smaller steps financially. But it is just that it is such a pleasure to work with Festool. There is almost nothing you can not do with a Makita, but it works so smooth with Festool. So, definitely not necessary, but just for pleasure.
