Re orbit - Glad it wasn't just me who thought the instructions were poor! The second click is not well documented but obvious once you know! Re Padsaver - Thanks for the padsaver link - will pick one up given they are so much cheaper than a new pad! Cheers,

Firstly apologies for the slow reply, thank you to all that posted suggestions and advice. These was a clear recommendation of the Metabo from the posts! I did follow this advice and purchased the Metabo SXE 450 (£131), my reservation before purchase was that the vibration figures for the...

and dewalt don't warranty any of their chucks!

Hi All, Just looking for advice for a 6" RO sander and just wondering if anyone has any of these and has any advice Makita B06030 £110 - looks like a proper tank - maybe not the most refined? Bosch GEX 34-150 £190ish (looks like an upgraded 150AC) Bosch GEX 40-150 £260 (again looks like the...

I've used AG woodcare for osmo before, they shipped fast https://www.agwoodcare.co.uk/

I'm just looking for some recommendations for which cordless tool platform to invest in, currently I have Bosch Blue drills and looking to add an impact driver and likely other cordless tools in future and it seems now it's all about choosing which battery platform to choose. Just wondering if...

I used to finish MDF workbenches/work tables with oil based poly diluted down with white spirit and left to really soak in, then wipe the excess and apply 3/4 coats. This has for me worked great and I have a bench top/work tables that's stood up to alot of abuse. Recently I've bought a CNC MFT...

The dewalt (23kg) and the bosch (24.2kg) are about the same weight, Just a couple of further thoughts - I'm not sure how the commission works in this particular tool shop and whether there is a particular drive on specific brands but Makita had a big display (same size as Festool and Dewalt)...

I'm just in the same quandary at present, I looked at the Makita at a local tool shop and thought the ergonomics with the handle were a little awkward. The tool shop guy reckoned the only mitre saws worth buying are the Dewalts (DW717XPS) and the Kapex (!) (both much more expensive) - these...

I have the wolfcraft dowelling jig - the one with the long alu rail not the dowel master, I find it accurate and fast. Clamp, drill and then slide the carriage along the rail. Also works for shelf pins etc. Youtube review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOxG4cJMAe8&t=8s it's £41 on amazon (+...

Thanks very much for all your thoughts, I think I'm going to return to the shop for another look. All the ones I detailed have good warranties and are "pro" level tools. In reality it seems they will all cut in a straight line and so will fulfill the requirement and there seems not too much to...

Hi All, I'm looking to buy a track saw and currently undecided, any user experience of these would be really helpful. Will be used for cutting down ply, MDF and general use - doors etc. 1 - Festool TS55 - had a look at one, like it, like the system, expensive but looked well engineered 2 -...

+1 on the dewalt DWE6423, I'm been really happy with mine, normal vac (henry) fits without the need for any adaptors which is handy. They do offer a quicklock adaptor but I've not found the need to get one. Recommend. (Just as an aside the dewalt website for registration for the 3 year...

Hi All Thanks for the replies, I have managed to find I think a "wolf" drill that fits and with a bit of tweaking I think I can get it to drill true.

JustBen - have you got a picture of what your hoping to achieve? I can't quite picture what your plan is?
