I can probably manage that...... :D What I wanted to know is have you actually tried it and does it actually work ? Seems very lax of Worksharp not to put some odd fixing on the circle forcing a sale...if you know what I mean !!!! Going to practice drilling the hole in the circle now.. :lol:

Would be interested in trying that. Have you, or anyone else done so Studders ?

Ordered and dispatched today. Thanks to all for the input. Well if it's duff at the tools at least the kitchen knives will be scary ! :shock:

[/b] Thanks for your comprehensive reply. The highlighted paragraph was, as you suggested, the crux of the matter ! However, you have now got me thinking on the availability of replacement discs for it !

Truly a bargain day for you ? Well done.

Hi, I don't really understand the ins and outs of sharpening. However I was going to spend £50 on a knife sharpener at Lakeland. At 75.00 delivered this seems better value as I could sharpen my tools as well. Is there much "knack" to the stone to get to honing level after the machine has...

Doing the Dyson thing is a great wee fun project. Including drying/curing time for Pinkgrip, it will take a weekend. But the thrill of watching your dust whizz round the drum is great. Remember to re-enforce your waste bucket if plastic. It will collapse of you clog it using a wand. I just cut...

Interesting article. Might build one of those as well. Principle kooks not unlike Triton dust bucket idea. Wee bitty more involved though !

Agreed. Though can you define "good dust separation" ? If I find my filters clog after 30 mins use without the device , then are totally clear using the new device, surely that must be "good dust separation" Though one mans "good dust separation" will probably differ from others. With the...
