Many thanks guys, what is the cheapest best option then in your opinion?

Evening folks, im in the process of setting up my small workshop and desperately need an inexpensive saw dust collector/workshop vac. I've seen the Sip one in toolstation for £87 and would like to know if it's worth the money. I will also be cutting MDF.

Thanks, I have a SATA Minijet gravity fed, should I go for the biggest tip and needle I can find? I'd also like some recommendations on what paint to use if you could advise. I've been reading that Floetrol should be used to dilute the pain for spraying etc.

Hi guys, I've been making a few MDF radiator covers and would like to know a little more about spraying them. I have several guns for Car paint and wondered if I could adapt one of them to use. I only really need to prime them up for the customer :-) I popped into my local Brewers today but...

Thanks guys, I'll take that advice an order something tomorrow :-)

Hi guys, I got hold of an old Burgess the other week and would like to get a blade for it tomorrow, I see Toolstation do them but I can't seem to find a 57.5" blade on their site. Can anyone tell me if I can use a slightly different size or does it have to be 57.5. As you can see I'm no...

Hi, I also managed to grab these items this morning, not sure if they are all complete but would like info on what they are if possible. I really like the calipers.

Hi folks, I went to a garage sale this morning in Northfleet Kent, the lady has quite a few items that might be of interest to someone here. I know nothing about lathes and associated tools so I've posted these two lathes in the hope that someone knows more about them and can give her some...

Many thanks guys, I also watched that video and it's convinced me to have a go. Only problem is Axminster are sold out and it's my Birthday this weekend!! pipper #-o

Hi folks, I've never used a lathe before so could use a little advice for my first purchase. I'm hoping to make jewelry, rings to be specific and also have a go at other small items possibly bowls at some point. I've seen a Clarke mini lathe in machine mart and wondered what you guys thought...

Hi guys, I've had the table for a few years now and not used it. So I'm looking to get a saw and router to mount permanently in the setup. Sadly I missed a recent auction for a pair so now I'm looking to purchase them separately. I'd like to know what model saw and router I need for the table...

Hi folks, I've been looking into masks and I quite like the Trend Airshield Pro, anyone know the best place I can get one price wise? Cheers

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately it's unlikely I'll be able to cut outside due to the location and noise. It does pose a problem for me, the more I read up on MDF the less happy I am about using it. As it's going to be the main material I use I think I'll need to look at setting up a half...

Hi folks, after many years of waiting I'm finally going to build a shed/workshop. It will hopefully be used for a little venture I'm starting up making items from MDF. I'll be using a Triton 2000 work centre and also a chop saw and router, so I know I'm going to need some kind of extraction...

Anyone used one of these, are they any good? I have brought a few Einhell products recently and been quite happy with them so I thought I'd ask about the BJ. Cheers
