Hi Paul, no problem feel free to ask any questions, I will do my best to answer them :) My thoughts so far on the LS1214 with work light: - I have owned the saw for about 21 months now and don't regret my purchase at all, in fact I wouldn't like to be without it. I have used it mainly in the...

Hi Waka, Any chance of a picture as well?

Hi Mike, thank you for the info, I think I might be better off making my own because I was looking for a stand a bit like a trolley with brakes that could be moved around the workshop with ease, maybe with a cupboard or dust collection underneath. If I needed to use the saw out on site I would...

Hi Waka, I also have the body grip version and its excellent, and I would also recommend Lennox blades. Hope this helps :)

Hi, I have some of this in the shed Autosol chrome cleaner (black and gold tube) which I have used it on my motorbike before. Would this work okay or would it be too abrasive??

Thanks Neil :D

Hello, Just wondered if anybody had used this template. In theory it seems like a good idea. I assume it would help reduce the amount of homemade templates you would normally keep/make in the workshop. http://festool.safeshopper.com/456/385.htm?706 Any info would be appreciated Thank you Michel

Hello, Can anybody recommend a good quality bench or stand Belt & Disc Sander. Thank you Michel

Hello, Has anybody used or seen in the flesh the new Dewalt DC618KA Cordless nail gun. I have read a few reviews in GWW etc. They all seem very positive, plus no gas or air required. http://www.dm-tools.co.uk/store/browse.php3?section=6003&sn=DEWDC618KA&main=&cs=&level=5 Any info/views would...
