I have a similar DeWalt table saw, may be previous model to yours and find it invaluable when working on site. It really is a great little table saw and just about light enough to throw in the back of the van. Don't know how I managed before getting it.

Hello A few years back I bought a Startrite 352E bandsaw direct from Record Power. It's an educational version as it was a return from a school. Anyway I need a table insert so contacted SawsUk. Told them mine needs an oval insert and they told me it's not a real Startrite but an import ? It's...

Thanks all, I had a epiphany and tried Rutlands http://www.rutlands.co.uk/pp+woodworkin ... ars+b12102

I lost one of my 12 year old Bakuma Shark pry bars down a cavity and badly need to replace it. But I can't find a retailer in the UK. nearest I could find.... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Pry-Bar-and- ... 1539858957 I've tried the Cumquats cheapo Silverline, they aren't a patch on Bakuma, I think...

I reckon on 4 -5 doors per day in old houses, depends where they are and how many stairs there are to carry the pippers up and down. If cutting outside, weather is also a factor as is size of the doors. I get £40 per door too.

Yes I do that with fire doors. have also done it with oak veneered doors with care.

No it doesn't, the batten is 12mm therefore flush with plasterboard face and cabinet adjuster attaches to batten thereby adjustable through the cabinet as designed. Fitting the rail is good, I will try that out next when I fit my next kitchen, but the cabinet sides will need chopping out as...

I don't understand this, I wrote my bike looks Cumquats through winter.................where does Cumquats come from ??

The best anti corrosion fluid by far is ACF50 http://www.acf-50.co.uk/motorcycle.htm I use this on my bike, a newish (2013) BMW RT1200, ride all year round weather permitting and the bike looks Cumquats through winter but comes up lovely after a right proper wash in the Spring. Trick is to apply...

I cut a slot out of the plasterboard about 40mm deep and the length of the run of units less 20mm at each end, cut a length of 12mm ply screw to studs and fasten units to that. Takes 20 mins tops.

Update, I've opened the box (which appears to have come direct from Mafell) and no flexi rail inside. These saws come complete so it seems the factory have not put it in the case. I have emailed Mr Bort.

It arrived just now, no duty or import fees to pay.

I've had mine for a couple of years now, and love it, it can make a job very easy and quick, its fairly light and very easy to set the size of cut. And yes I too would like a bigger stop switch.

If you are fully boarding the floor, and screwing it down properly this will give some lateral rigidity, the shorter lengths are probably left over from earlier build and I would think could be removed. I don't think a structural engineer needs be involved, it'll cost you about £600 for that...
