Seems a good deal if it's what you want, especially with the Makpac case thrown in. https://cpc.farnell.com/makita/hp453zj/18v-combi-drill-inc-case-bare/dp/TL22070

Does anyone have any opinions on these? Primary motivation is initial cutting up of sheet to a manageable size, I figure I can cut on the floor atop a few battens. Most of my stuff is 12mm ply or less, occasionally 18mm for bench tops, although with a guide rail if it can be used for...

Does anyone know where I can find 9mm dowel centre points? It seems most stockists have 6/8/10/12mm matching ready made fluted dowel pins.

This is a bit of an out there issue for a forum such as this but if I asked in my usual places for something like this I'd get the response "don't use wood". Background to this is I want to build an enclosure to house a device that holds a UV-C bulb to erase older computer chips. These chips...

Had this one a few days now so figured I'd post a first impressions review of it. Had a couple of gas irons before now but to be honest they've been cut price impulse buys and while they've been useful they were also essentially disposable in that spares are not available. Looked around at...

In part this is a reflection on the tool regret thread posted yesterday, but also a point I've raised here and there recently. Forget top quality. What are the tools you buy bargain basement stuff and why? Feel free to debate an answer but keep it civil. If someone doesn't value your favourite...

Just had this delivered today. Far better than you have the right to expect for the money, in substance as good as any of the others I've seen. Nice blow moulded case. Accessories a bit sparse (e.g. no flexi drive) but the only big ommission is alternative size collets. If you've never heard of...

I'm at the concept stage of planning out a permanent stand/drawers/cupboards for my scroll saw. After some thought about whether to go for wheels or adjustable feet I decided I'm fitting both so I can jack it up to a solid footing when in position. The feet are a none issue but I'm slightly...

Nice clean looking Hegner scroll saw, appears to be a Multicut 3 variable speed. With footswitch and hold down arm. Just went for £72 on eBay. Someone got an absolute steal. Sadly only noticed with 20 mins to go otherwise I would probably have posted here. If it hadn't been 300 miles away I'd...

No, not using pallet wood for a tool stand but building a tool stand compatible with a pallet truck to make it easy to move. It seems such a obvious idea I can't believe it hasn't been thought of before but web searches don't turn anything up, although the results do get polluted by an infinite...

Hi, I've recently picked up an old 25" Diamond fretsaw. I see from web searches there is a certain amount of knowledge about these within this community. Firstly does anyone have a scanned copy of the "manual" they could forward to me. I understand it isn't substantial but I think it would...

Hi My name is Andrew from Preston. I'm mostly a hobbyist and to be honest I wouldn't call myself an avid woodworker. I do enjoy it but it's mostly a means to an end, in my case principally enclosures for electrical and electronic projects. I'll attach a few photos of the wood elements of a...
