I'm now thinking hard about the Dewalt. I've never liked Dewalt tools to be honest, back in 2000 when I started my company I went for Metabo drills, bought 10 of them for myself and the guys, loved them and are still in use today, one of the lads decided that the Metabo was to heavy and so went...

So are the Hikoki any good? You can't ignore the price element but I guess it all comes down to accessories and fittings I guess

Thank you Deema I'll research them this weekend. I'm looking for a replacement handheld router at the moment though so one thing at time.... :)

NoI haven't Deema, not even sure what a spindle moulder is to be truthful

Colour schemes are very important.... :p I like the idea of using the 110 for a table to be fair

Thanks peoples. So a bit of a confession here. Last night after reading some of your replies, I popped down to my workshop and pulled out a crate that I hadn't open in years...... Someone jogged my memory when they said they had an old Hitachi, I opened the crate, and sure enough, my old...

Thank you everyone for your input, I really appreciate you taking the time. I'll have a look at the T12 and the other suggestions and go from there. I have seen a FESTOOL 576210 Router OF 1400 EBQ-Plus GB 240V which looks pretty good and within budget, would you advice the T12 over this?

Thanks Spectric. I was think of going for a 1/2 but open to all advice. I'll have a look the T10 now. thanks again

I would love some if you still have some available Hawkeye, I'm just uptake road in Camberley

Hi peoples My Trend T5 has just started playing up, had it for years so can't complain but what to go for now?..... I've got a max of £500 but would like to pay less of course. I'm starting to use the router more and more and mainly on hard woods. I've researched a little but there's nothing...

Thanks Rog, I was tempted to do it this afternoon but second guessed myself....... :ROFLMAO:

Hello peoples I got given some freshly cut Cedar logs today and want to cut some planks from them, is it best to let them dry first and then cut or cut and then dry?? I'm thinking the latter but would love to hear what people thinks best.. Thank you in advance Tony

Thanks so much peoples, really appreciate your help

Thanks Recipio, I think that it is to do with to much clamp pressure, I do alternate them but as I said, I only have six clamps so a few more may help. I worry that if the clamps aren't tight as in as tight as I can get them then there will be gaps or the glue won't bond enough..... Trial and...

Thank you for taking the time, I bought a digital inclinometer and it has helped and improved over using a square. I think my issues are from getting the clamping wrong somehow, going to invest in some some clamps as I only have 6 at the moment
