    making simple unfinished wood picture frames - what set up for a newbie?

    Let's start at the beginning; getting hold of the stock. I think you'll need to find a local business that can machine up sawn timber to your specific width and thickness requirements.

    Makita Orbital sanders

    Another vote for the Metabo. Just looked at the Makita specs and the 6030 is much the same as the Metabo with a 300W motor. The 6050, however, has a 750W motor for the same size pad. Reason? The 6050 also comes in 2 versions with differing characteristics. Worth looking into. Brian

    Nutool scroll saw

    I had one of those a few years ago. It had a different name on it, possibly Warco. I picked it up originally for next to nothing thinking it might get used one day. In fact I only ever used it once but came the day when I contemplated some more delicate work and realised I would need to upgrade...

    Why are some router tables made up of cast iron but not others?

    Solid Grade Laminate, but beware, that nice Mr Google advises it also means Same Gender Loving. In this context I assume it's the former. Brian
