    Saw comparison, bosch 8sjl vs bosch 800 sj

    Just recently bought one from Axminster after a lot of indecision. Accurate out of the box. Initially thought dust collection was better but now not so sure. Nice finish cuts. Big lump in a small workshop despite the forward rails. Smooth action and happy in the main with my purchase.

    Steve's workbench build

    Neil, I did my housings by hand and used a hand router, but your plan should be fine. You could at least be able to do around the sides easily enough, chop out the bulk of the middle with the chisel and just use the router to tidy it up. Though I only tend to go 10mm at a time if its a full cut...

Thinking aloud I will screw battens to the inside face allowing for the distance from the cutter edge to the edge of the router base. The legs are 70mm wide will the...

    Is this a saw setter? Anyone advise. Thanks

    OK thanks for that my wife found it at the bottom of her old horsey bits trunk, odd how she came to have that she had no idea what it was. On further inspection it actually states no 77 made in England on the inside of the handle
