    Metabo KGS216M first use and mini-review

    I have the KGS254 which is just a bigger version. You need to adjust the fence so it is perfectly square at the 0' position. There is a left and right side of the fence. Both of them have 2 screws you can loosen and adjust. It can take a bit of fiddling but once its set it should be good. This...

    I need a load bearing wall in my workshop?

    Or wooden pillars so as not to put a big wall in middle of your workshop. This guy did some pretty nice wooden beams and pillars - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hQWjrWgdwc - albeit he is in Canada, so I do not know how this flies with BC here.

    Table saw and Mitre saw blade replacements / alternatives

    I am suprised no one has mentioned hook angle. Surely the blade that you use in your table saw will be alot different than what you use on your sliding mitre saw. I am looking at replacing my sliding mitre saw blade, and I am having difficulty finding good blades with a negative hook angle. All...

    Flooring suggestions for workshop

    What about a roll of vinyl? You could probably get it pretty cheap and if you were not too fussed you could probably get 2 bits cheap from cuts that might fit and gaff them at join. Alternatively one big section would look clean. You would be best going to your local carpet fitter place as...

    Advice on dust extraction for a newbie

    Im well aware of how to calculate amps from watts, what I don't understand is what "Rated input power S1 100%" and "S6 20%" means. There is a cheaper Titan model at £49.99 vs this one at £69.99 - They both appear to have same motors etc in it, just a little larger capactiy and this power tool...

    Advice on dust extraction for a newbie

    Thanks for response. I think I am going to hold off in getting a large HVLP dust extraction untill I get the planer. I want to get a "shop vac" essentially.

    I know there are loads of threads on this and loads of youtube videos and all sorts, which is exactly why I am making this thread. Information overload you could say!

    Shop Vac - Starmix, Mafell, metabo etc

    The problem is it is incorrectly described on that website. It is not a euro to UK adapter. It is a UK to euro adapter. When you describe adapters you always start with the Male end. So when someone says they need a 13a > 16a adapter, they mean they want a 13a plug to 16a socket.

    Single skin Garage conversion for workshop - advice please

    Looking for some advice, as these forums seem to have a lot of people doing this. I have a detached garage (approx 6mx3m), with a flat roof (well slight angle for drainage, but effectively flat roof) which is OSB with felt on top, the gritty stuff.
