Thanks I will try to get the velcro sounds like a better idea

I bought a brand new Record disc sander about 8 months ago, cleaned the grease off the disc with white spirit and dried it with a clean cloth but the discs won't stay attached. Can anyone advise me as to what I may be doing wrong. I also bought the Record discs for the sander.

Thanks again for the replies. I know for some people who do woodworking accuracy is not high up in their agenda which I can understand (what I mean is near enough approach) and as much as I would like sometimes to be like that, it is not in my nature and I am too old to change now. I agree that...

Thanks for the replies, I have had a look at the D32 on Chester Web site, Are they manufactured in the UK.

I was thinking for woodwork only, as I don't think there are any decent pillar drills available nowadays having had a SIP and now a Jet. I was thinking of accuracy and sturdiness mainly.

Does anyone use a milling machine as a Drill press, and if so what are the pros and cons.

If you need oak or elm etc Pierce Hardwoods, Ythanwells, Huntly has a good stock of seasoned hardwood

I have the Jet one with tilting table I don't use it very often but when I do I find the tilting table quite useful, I would not have one without the tilting table.

I can't remember the details but it cost me around £1,400 about 10 years ago it did the job ok but wasn't as powerful as mains 3 phase and the continuous humming noise did my head in. I only kept it around 10 months. Modern ones may be a lot better I wouldn't like to say but I will never regret...

I have A Bostitch air powered one heavy and you need to drag a compressor around very powerful, I also bought a early Dewalt which is the way to go in my opinion not as powerful as the Bostitch but plenty ample for most jobs.

I have both single phase and 3 phase in my shop and would not be without 3 phase but I have owned a single phase TA 315 for about 20 years and find it unbelievable when it comes to power I cannot fault it ( I can't speak of the later machines ) I have also tried a inverter and would not go down...

Same as above with the TA 315 had it around 20 years one of the best machines I ever bought.

I used a product a few years ago called Flexterior and it has lasted well but it is not available any longer but I suspect any high quality Yacht varnish may be as good as anything

Hi I am looking for any information regarding the above, has anyone got one if so are they worth the money and is the holding power as good as it looks on youtube videos ( I would hate the workpiece that I have spent hours making to go flying across the workshop while routing or sanding ) and...

Same old story now Covid 19 with a lot of suppliers, some of the ones I have used have been just as efficient as before the virus. I have spent many thousands of pounds over the years with Axminster but not anymore (got too big and as stated before too expensive) and not to mention delivery.

Famag all the way if you can afford them Fish are also excellent ( but you will get the any old bit will do from the its near enough squad) I have tried lots of recommended cheap bits but in the end if you want a good clean cut you will have to pay for it end of

I personally wouldn't go back to a router table but I do have a facility to fit a router spindle in my moulder but I seldom use it I find I can do almost anything with the moulder albeit a lot more expensive just my opinion

On Friday I contacted Festool about the problem I was having with FFX regarding one of their products and they said they would see what they could do well this morning at 9.10 am I received a message from FFX saying that they wood pick up the item tomorrow I don't know if it was a direct result...

Thanks to all for the response I tried again today to say a waste of time with email and phone calls so I have decided to go with getting a refund through Barclaycard I also looked up Trustpilot reviews and some of them were unbelievable one guy lost £600 because he returned his Festool item...

Mid June I ordered a Festool cyst- port 1000/2 storage system at a cost of £535.00 when it arrived it was in a shoddy taped up box albeit Festool it looked like it had been through the mill with scuffs and cuts everywhere and sounded like there where bits and pieces rattling around inside, upon...
