FFX909 will get 5% off

Eumenia RAS. 600mm rail. I have a virtually new one. Also with an overhead router attachment. It's one of those 'got away' items that you never saw and if you did you'd wish you had.

No, grey logo in the middle, everything static

I'm just getting a blank page from the link?

I think I can cope listening to radio 4 chat on a volume same as someone next to me talking quite well. In fact I have done for over 30 years, both on site and in my home workshop. If the sound level is a health and safety issue, you need to ban talking full stop on site, as the volume is the...

I have both. The Metabo is a great all round machine and will last. However if you can stretch to it the Deros is fantastic. 4' and 5" pads, I bought the kit with the extractor (as all mine are 110v and the deros is 240v only at the mo), plus habd sanders etc. it's light, powerful, nearly...

I bought a Wadkin BOAS P/T about 4 years ago on Ebay. prisine condition and hardly any usage, been in a heated university workshop where they did very little woodwork. I paid £550 for it. Just looked on Ebay and now over £2000! Jeez,

They have, in common with others like Makita, more than one range of quality. I have just paid £140 for a 125mm Hitachi grinder for work. It will last and take the stick. They also do a similar sized grinder for £80. It won't last in trade / industrial use. for DIY or if you nurse it, it...

Buy the Mafell. Really accurate, not s plasticky as the festool, fits Festool tracks and is the better saw out of the two. Love mine

Holy thread resurrection

It depends on how many different tools you need. Makita have the largest range in the 18v stuff. I have Makita impact driver, small drill driver, slightly larger drill driver, SDS drill, grinder, reciprocating saw, circular saw, jig saw, dry wall auto feed screwdriver, torch, 2 chargers, 8...

I have the Mafell. Fab. has the edge over the Festool. Why not buy the Mafell saw with Festool tracks (it fits them) so you have the better saw but access to the Festool system using your Festool tracks

Need a few sheets of 8x4 ply for a project, a/c ply would be fine. Any one bought /know where the cheapest deals are, either 20 moles around leeds or delivered? Cheers

1) If you want the best saw then either Festool or Mafell. Remember you'll be using it for a couple of decades if you look after it, so spend the extra now and enjoy. You'll soon forget the 20% you saved on the second tier saw and wish you bought one of the above. 2) In my opinion the...

Am I the only one that uses and likes the Bahco 1031 range? They might have composite handles like the Marples but I find they balance well, sharpen well, come in 15 sizes and a full set is around £250 (£200 if your lucky with offers on from Mathew). It's a law of diminishing returns...
