I would be interested in finding out what type of motor it has, induction/brushed. I have used a 10" Draper table saw with a brushed motor and the noise was unbearable. Definite need to wear ear protection. I would expect at that price it has a brushed motor. Does anyone know if the more...

How about Screwfix? They have these cross dowel and much cheaper than anywhere else... I have used these along with the dowel bolts on a cot I built a few years back. They allowed for height adjustment and disassembly. Cheers Matt.

Hi, I made some toy boxes as Christmas presents last year and used gas struts from B&Q. They are for top opening kitchen cabinets and cost about £7 each. They are rated for poundage and as you stated allow for slow closing of the box. I used a strong magnet catch to keep the lid shut, a light...

I have just laid a laminate floor today and used my cordless Makita saw to make the cross cuts. The room is approx 13' x 9' (117 sq/f) and all cuts were made using 1 battery which has not discharged fully. I have 3 18V 3.0Ah batteries so have plenty of scope and power available. Cheers Matt

Hi, I am currently using a Makita 18v LXT circular saw and it's great. It cuts through sheet material easily and you don't have to worry about the cable.... The motor is super quiet compared to 240v machines, the motor is braked and it's portability is a big strong point for me. Here's the...

I would contact Paypal straight away. They will withhold monies in his account in order to settle this dispute. Otherwise he could withdraw the money and shut down his account. Paypal will contact both parties to resolve the dispute.

Hello all, have a look at the promotional video of the SawStop table saw, click on the video link under Product Features. About a minute into it they show the dust collection and blade shroud. I'm sure everyone would agree that this would benefit all table saws. Here's the link...

Hi Mike I use a belt and disk sander with a 150mm (6") wide belt and a 229mm (9") diameter disk. I would highly recommend this, as the larger sanding surfaces are more accommodating and don't clog up quite as quick (more area to use). Here's my sander....

Thanks for all your replies. The birch ply looks quite good at my local depot, so I'll get a sheet and give it a go. Cheers Matthew.

Yes Tim, 18mm 8x4 sheets. It looks a good price as long as it's pretty good quality. My father-in-law bought some 12mm Eastern ply, from China, what a waste of time. It was totally rubbish, no strength in it at all. Cheers Matthew.

Thanks for your replies. Tim B&Q charge £33 at Cardiff gate branch, it's one of the bigger stores. I'll take a look at Edens, thanks. Cheers Matthew.
