Yep, smaller packs are good if you need a variety of sizes, and also a unique 6x30 tenon. Video was six months ago or thereabouts:- Not Dominos [**Gifted/Ad] [video 544] - Has been pointed out to me that the current packs have a photo of the original 10MW Loose Tenon Jig in use 😂

I had a small Stanley and it was so loud it was almost unusable; the Hyundai is a completely different animal. Owned mine getting on for 3 years now, no reliability issues whatsoever. Recommended.

If the OP is prepared to spend Bosch money (and yes, totally worth the extra over eg the Erbauer) then they’re into the ‘top five’ of Makita, DeWalt, Bosch in the middle and Festool and Mafell at the top end, assuming you’re only looking at mains power corded tools. If you throw cordless into...

*That* guy 🙄 It’s a great little trim saw, but not what the OP needs. 👍

Thanks Alvy. Enjoyed the email chat, just to clarify:- This is something that I’m personally curious about, but is a *very* niche product so not I think, of general interest to the 10MW audience overall. Virutex aren’t a well known brand in the UK so other than the novelty value of another...

The most recent was about painting MDF doors Roy, but the principle’s the same overall. Water-based acrylic primer/undercoat with two coats on the cut edges, denib, then water-based acrylic topcoat of your choice x 2 coats minimum, 3 for preference, and 4 if you have the time / will / energy...

Hi Gary. I don’t know which platform your son used, but I’m not aware of any ‘reaching out’ in this regard? 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, I think my first question would be what kind of F&B paint finish are you trying to cover eg estate emulsion, modern emulsion, eggshell, satin, interior, exterior etc… and...

Good to know, thanks. Hadn’t realised you were in Ireland when I replied earlier, they’re still not available here. 👍

Ooo, 20v planer too! Could be a spendy week. Thank you - I think I’ll be at my local store myself on Monday 4th! 👍

If it has the same baseplate as the corded version then no - the anti-tipping lip gets in the way, but this can be stripped off easily. Out of interest, has there been an announcement by Lidl about availability?

Not sure it’s any tougher than specialising in freestanding furniture and having to compete against the likes of Oak furniture land Doug - part of the job has always been convincing people to buy what you’re selling, at a price they’re prepared to pay that‘s also worthwhile and profitable to...

It’s 800mm deep rather than the 718mm of a regular MFT/3 Roy, and it was fine before I put the slots in. Completely agree about things falling into the grooves - pencils are especially annoying, and cables can also snag on the edges.

I have a similar groove/hole setup, and it works well, but the addition of a grid of grooves produced noticeable sagging in the - slightly oversized - MDF top, which then needed bracing from underneath. If you don’t have access to all sides of your bench you‘ll probably need to widen the slots...

I’ve never used them, but the Lamello Clamex S-20 connector works with any (4mm) biscuit jointer - the fittings screw into the carcass, and you use an allen key to attach/release the fitting. At a couple of quid each they’re not a cheap connector, but cheaper than a Zeta for occasional use, and...
