Hello All, (Sorry if this has been asked before :roll:) If you could only buy one (L-N) bench plane which one would it be??? No 1,2,3,4,4.5,5 or low angle no4 or no5. From my very little experience with hand planes i would probably choose the No5, because it is more versatile IMHO...

Hello, has anybody got any recommendations/advice on Sliding Compound Mitre Saws. Going to be used primarily in the workshop to replace my mitre saw, with occasional mobile use when required. makita/scheppach/ Elektra Beckum and bosch seem good on paper :? cheers Michel

I currently use the Bosch GOF 2000 router, which i think is brilliant. The trouble is for small jobs it can be a bit heavy on the arms, so I'm looking at medium sized routers and have narrowed it down to the following: - Trend T5 and DeWalt 621K They seem very similar, so just wondered if...
