    Bosch GCM 350-254 Review

    Excellent saw. I’ve had no issues with it so far. The cut capacity is really good, the power/performance is excellent, and it eats thought any hardwood I throw at it.

    WHAT IS THE BEST ROUTER TABLE.

    Agree with Mike. I have the same setup. I have the UJK table + Router Lift and the Hitachi router and its excellent. Its accurate, takes other accessories (jessem stock guides) and has decent dust collection. Overall it does the job well.

    Stanley sweetheart

    I brought a set over a year ago and at the time I thought they were great, you can get a razor sharp edge on them Forward a year and during that time I started buying 2nd hand Marple chisels of ebay.
