I have the smaller 14" version of this - SIP 01444 It is a solid, well built machine. I have fitted a Starrett Woodpecker Premium blade, set the blade guides as per the reccomendations on this forum, and it cuts with ease and accuracy. I am only a hobby user, but I am more than happy with the...

I once tried to buy some HEPA filters for my CT33, from a dealer in the USA. I got an email telling me they were forbidden to sell Festool items outside of the USA, and that I should try locating the item in the UK. I did a quick search, but could not find the HEPA filters for sale over here...

I recently got a SIP 14" Professional Bandsaw. Not really used it in anger, but I am very pleased with some test cuts I did after setting it up and fine tuning. The fence seems nice and solid, with the required adjustment screws to set it up. The only part of it that could be better is the...

Has happened to me recently with a cheap hammer from Wilkinsons. Definitely a case of buy cheap - buy twice!! carlsberg

Dave, when I built my workshop, I considered using rockwool under the floor, but changed my mind incase it got wet. I suspect it would be like a big sponge and never dry out and losing its insulating properties. This turned out to be a wise move as the floor of the workshop got saturated with...

Maybe that is me..I have updates soon :)

Hello, Thankyou for the PMs, gave me the motivation to update this post, i wish you could drag & drop pictures onto the post :? Ok, I have done plenty more hours on the build, and spent a little more money...here goes. All the wall insulation and roof insulation was finished off, then...

Update....day ????????? no idea, i have done lots of hours though :) Doors hung using 3 Stainless bearing hinges. 6 hinges cost me £14.61 Most of the wall insulation now complete, i got 6 rolls of this 100mil insulation for £10 per roll. On the front wall, i decided to add an extra layer...

Day 32 update. I managed to get the roof underfelt finished 3 weeks ago, and amazingly it survived the storm. I have also fitted both front window frames, I have not started making the 2 side window frames yet. Then I started on making the door frame. This was easy except that I needed to...

Hi, I have just purchased a secondhand Metalclad morticing machine. Has anyone got one of these and can point me in the right direction to obtain a user manual for it? I will post a picture tomorrow, it is a 240v model, pale blue castings with dark blue motor. It was loaded on my van via...

30 day update...... The window frames are still heavily under construction, but the decking has been 'nearly' finished :) Got a quote for the DG units for the windows, they advised me to go for a unit consisting of a 4mm pane and a 6mm pane of glass. They tell me this is better for sound...

Back on track with the never-ending project :P The roof T+G deck is completely finished, and one half has been covered in felt...waiting for the wind to die down before felting the other half. I have just used an underfelt, which I am sure will last until summer when i intend to put on...

Noel, Like you I have had lots of Nokia 6310i, even more replacement covers!! According to Nokia the 6230 and now the 6233 are the replacement for the old model. I have spent a few weeks asking friends and comparing different Nokia models on the web, and the 6233 comes out on top everytime...

HI, Here is a link to a useful website in calculating the volume of a structure. http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/cm/images/1022691737741.swf In my area, any temporary structure over 70 cubic metres requires planning permission. Carlsberg

I have had the 6233 for a month now, it has replaced my aging 6310i. The battery life is about 3-4 days permanently on and little use. ..That is less than half compared with the life of my old phone. On the plus side, it was easy to upgrade my nokia handsfree kit by replacing just the control...
