I recently received a news update from an American website that declared that "De Walt buy-out Porter Cable & Delta". The follow-up article then went on to promote the "synergy" that was supposed to be generated by this Black & Decker buy-out. I have a great deal of respect for the brands...

Can someone please explain the term "tilting table saw" ?. My understanding is that table saws either do or do not feature a saw blade that can be set at an angle. Any adjustment is achieved by turning a handwheel that moves the central arbor from the horizontal position to anything up to 45...

Many years ago I was faced with a similar problem, although the stump concerned was from a yew tree, and was about 3 feet high, and about the same diameter. I found no simple or easy answer, but I dug around the stump using a maddox axe (a bit like a pick axe, but with an axe blade on one half...

Whilst local timber merchants are usually the cheapest for softwoods, if I need 'run of the mill' wood e.g. CLS pine, in any reasonable quantity I check out the price at the B&Q Depot in (Nursling) Southampton, then get their Customer Service Centre to ring B&Q Salisbury to ask the manager if...

A few years back I bought a Nutool HS1500 Table Saw from B&Q for something like £130 (they've come down to under a hundred now on the internet!). When I found one on an internet site that came complete with a stand I moaned to my local B&Q who refunded me the purchase price, then sold me the...

Would the USA Company you bought the DeWalt from be NEPINE by any chance ?. I've logged a query on the General Woodworking forum about this organisation because the prices looked good.

I'm new to this forum so please can someone explain: - 1. Is the site linked in any way to Woodford Woodworking ?. Sorry if that is a daft question but I found out about and joined this forum via that site and whilst there seems some respect for their products there are also some interesting...

Jake, it may be that I lack experience with my plunge router and table (?), and am simply going about it all in the wrong way ... but I'll explain. I have both a B&Q Power Professional Pro Router (CLM 1250) and router table (CLM1000RT) which is OK for the price I paid. However, as the...

Tony, B&Q certainly did sell a fixed-base router, the CLM1250RD, but I have not seen it stocked in any B&Q Warehouse or Depot in my neck of the woods (Salisbury & Southampton). When I queried this with the B&Q HelpLine in December 2004 they replied: - In answer to your query I have...

I visited the following website : - http://www.nepine.co.uk/xcart/customer/home.php which looks very impressive, .... almost too good to be true. They claim to be a USA supplier selling American power tools at GB Pounds Sterling prices direct to the UK (and...
