I fully understand all your comments and appreciate the feedback, just to keep everything in perspective the AIRSHIELD although technically available until February 2008 has, in most dealers, already sold out, The filters should be available until the final cut of date in 2010, 3 years time...

Hi Mike C, I was referring to your post which implies 'Trend stop selling...', which in fact would be more accurate as 'the EU legislation prevents Trend from selling...', we have no choice, I understand that you have had a bad experience with RACAL and in an ideal world we would be only...

Hi Mike C, I think if you read the post again you will realise that EU legislation will prevent the sale of such filters and that your comments are unfounded, As a responsible British company we have to comply with legislation, this is not a matter of whether we as a manufacturer are/are not...

Hi Guys, I would just like to clarify the position for you all, Here is a statement from our Technical Director: There has been a change in European standard for power respirators. The old standard EN146 THP2 being replaced by EN12941 THP2, this new standard required a greater filtration...

Of course I can only speak for our Jigs when it comes to features, Take our COMBI 1002 for example, Made from 16mm thick phenolic, Alloy bushes with 'o' rings, Not only produces Male and Female part of the joint, Breakfast bar, peninsula curves, 35mm apertures for Blum style hinges, 3...

Well a few reasons 'why not' really, The main one's being patent's, copyright's, design rights, Prison ? ;-) andy@trend

I understand, It is a common misconception that our products are expensive though, Worktop jigs range from £50.00 - £249.00 through Trend dealers and come with the quality, backup and service that you would expect from a large British family firm, Good luck with the repair, andy@trend

Hmmmm let's think, Nope sorry, I would of course rather he bought a Trend Jig ;-) andy@trend

Shame it's not a Trend Jig, as we do offer a repair service. Or even a jig with a replaceable centre (developed for the hire industry). Regards, andy@trend

Hi Steve, Sorry I was referring to the concentricity of the cutter with the adjustable guide bush and mounting plate, I now see that you were referring to the base itself. To be honest I would never just rely on the base as an accurate guide as a few factors can influence the result, Accuracy...

Hi Steve, I can't really speak for other manufacturers regarding concentricity, however, as you may be aware we treat this subject very seriously as this is often the key difference between a good and a bad job. I am not surprised that your 177E is spot on as we worked very closely with ELU...

Hi Nick W, I agree the dust spout can be damaged if leaned on whilst changing cutters, our R&D team are constantly looking at ways to improve the design of our products, your comments will be passed on, Regarding up the column dust extraction, the answer is simple, the idea is patented and has...

Hmmm, Sounds like you have a machine with an 8mm collet (European Standard) and are using a 1/4" (6.35mm) shank cutter (UK & USA Standard, yes I know we are supposed to be metric since 1971 :-)) Try a 1/4" collet with your cutter or an 8mm shank cutter with your collet HTH andy@trend
