managed to get a look at both saws today side by side and I think the kapex looks worth the extra cost.

thanks for all the replies, still don't know what to do. The Bosch looks good, but is way too heavy. The link to the dewalt is the cheapest so far, so thanks for that. I also have the dewalt stand. I screwed the rubber feet on. do youknow if the kapex will fit the dewalt stand?

Hi guys, I'm in the market to treat myself to a new saw. I currently own an Elu ps174 and can't complain - it's been without fault for 16 years !. I want something a bit more modern and with a bigger capacity. I'm slowly building up my Festool collection, but I'm trying not to be a brand snob...

ok, I have fitted the frosted glass side to the outside of the frame as the best face of the oak door is on the outside with the heavy decorative mouldings, so I thought I'd keep the best side of the glass to the same side. Any thoughts ? Cheers, Stephen

it is not Pilkington K glass guys. Thanks for your interesting input. I'd still like to hear more thoughts. Cheers, Stephen

Thanks for your quick reply Kenny. Before I post up which way round I fitted them, I'd like to hear more opinions. Thanks, Stephen

Looking for advice - I have installed 3 double glazed units into a mahogany vestibule frame. The units are frosted on one side only and is on the inside of the glass. Which side would you put the frosted side to ? - inside or outside, and why ?. Thanks, Stephen

You 714 or CIS ?

Hi there, Recently my Paslode nailgun brokedown so I thought I'd do a stripdown and source the problem. Problem turned out to be a broken shaft on the motor. New motor - £75inc Vat. Add a new fan,O-ring and filter, your talking £100 just for parts. Gun was >10yrs old So went looking for a new...

Seen a guy with a Vauxhall Tigra with a 3m worktop in it, hanging out the tailgate and out through the sunroof, what a sight !. Stephen

Had never heard of worm saws, I use my cordless snorter and my speed square for framing cuts, but these look the danglies !. I have the Senco collated drywall gun and am happy with that, again cordless, but is a wee bit slower than the corded models, but still does a good job. Will post up how...

Hi Steve, yes it was me - I was surprised to get it so cheap. I had thought about the weight a bit as there seems to be more metal than plastic, but I would be delighted to do a review for the forum. I found it at £329 at this website, but logged on today and it's gone up to £468 ...

Thanks for all your comments, esp Matt. Although the general opinion was to repair the Paslode, I have bought a Senco from Ebay for a bargain. I maybe fix the Paslode in the future or a bit at a time as a spare is alwaysa handy in my book anyway. Thanks again, Stephen

Hi Folks, I've been using my Paslode on site now for around 10 yrs. It gave up the ghost yesterday and when I opened it up, the spindle had sheared on the motor. Now, repairing it myself I'll be round about £100 mark including the vat. (Around a quarter of a new gun) BUT. Been looking at either...
