btw, since its looking increasingly likely that theres no fix for the erbauer, what would be the power requirement to drive the cabinet door bits? would the 1500W silverline manage it in anyone's expert opinion? ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002 ... e=&seller= )

Grayo, Im trying to use 1/2" bits, they're actually the cabinet door bits and the router is mounted in a diy router table. When i got it there was certainly no 1/4" collet, but I only noticed recently theres no 1/2" collet either Anyway i called screwfix and they were no use at all I cant...

thanks for the replies, I didnt know that anderson, will giv them a shout tomorrow, thanks!

Dia daoibh, I hope this is the right place to post; I have an Erbauer router bought second hand, but somehow it has no collet. Does anyone know where to buy a replacement or if any other make of collet would be compatible? the local tool shops certainly didnt have anything and I couldnt find an...

in relation to the aluminium beds; i got a second hand elektra beckum and the beds seem sturdy enough, its a combination machine and changing over is a bit annoying but managable. as for getting "eaten alive", i have it in a shed and its never got wet, but the cutter block is getting rusty-must...

Brilliant lads, thanks! Thats plenty to go by now

Thanks everyone for your input. The metabo was looking the most likely ...but then a second hand elektra beckum came up locally for fifty quid. Its the kgs331 model, i dont think it can do trenching-if anyone could confirm or refute this it would be a help! thanks

thanks dutch.what im using now (b&q pro performance) is awful loud And refuses to cut a square end! mar mite, thats exactly what i was sceptical about with the evo; its hard to imagine a blade cutting steel and still being fit to do a clean accurate cut in wood

thanks for the replies. To be honest i ruled out the evolution brand altogether after seeing their "fury" tabe saw in b&q, it looked very unsturdy and inaccurate. but checked a few videos of the mitre saw u mentioned and it seems a Lot better. Any Hitachi c8fse or metabo kgs216m owners out...

Thanks I forgot to mention the other saw, metabo kgs216m, it goes for around £160 Any comment on its accuracy and reliability appreciated!

Hello, hoping to get a bit of advise on sliding mitre saws. Has anyone got much experience of the hitachi c8fse? it seems to be at a very good price (£200-215) but the motor is significantly less powerful than others of its cutting capacity. (1050W) It seems to have terrible reviews on the...

Thats right; time to stop fishing for info now and just take the plunge Thanks everyone for the input! ÁD

RogerS, thats the same thing i was wondering. Some of the holes only became appearant as I planed down into the wood, so i thought maybe they're not exit holes.? I might be completely wrong about this though

Thanks everyone for all the advise in between times i'v bought the Rentokil woodwormer..but am now in two minds whether or not to use it Mignal, what you suggest would suit me perfect as im always suspicious of chemical killers. However after reading the thread linked above by Sgian dubh im a...

Dia daoibh, Thanks for all the responses! I thought i posted the reply last night but it doesn't seem to have worked.. I see you say to avoid the cheap rubbish stuff TT, is there any specific product you would recommend? Since there are only a few holes at the minute the injection route seems the...

Hello hows it going, Im looking for a solution here for woodworm in beechwood slabs that i intend to use for table tops I bought 2 slabs of beechwood last week. About 40"long 16"wide, maybe 1.5" thick. Theres about 4 or 5 woodworm holes in each of them. As it stands it doesn't look bad but...

great work. i don't see a problem with the choice of wood/contrast. What are the woods anyway ? would have had a wild guess sycamore and yew ?

Nev-you hit precisely the two points i was going to make! Guitar string sounds like the perfect choice if you have a few lying around. Also I have been strongly advised to NEVER use the wire held in hands, i.e. without handles!! The old man who told me said he personally witnessed a student...

...and a long drawn-out process when its not!lol Good work hi, Ádh-mór

nice work there. this type of work i never found easy. Tricky to sand the square face?
