Yeah, it's more of a lust than a need thing. I like the idea of the plunge and the finer control over the depth and the dust collection is a big one for me but they're all nice to have and it's not worth paying £300-400 for nice to haves. I am planning to upgrade the blade I have to something...

my 2c: - If it's exclusively for breaking down sheet timber go with a plunge saw, especially inside as they have better dust extraction - If you want versatility go for a circular saw that can go on rails (I have a cordless bosch and the FSN rails and it's pretty good other than the dust!) - Add...

We don't own a car and the garage was built when cars are much smaller than they are now, we'd have to exit the car through the sunroof! That said keeping the doorway clear is useful as we have a bike trailer for our child and it does need space to maneuver to swap it between our bikes etc...

Here it is. I'm basically trying to make a loft storage space. The metal bits holding the roof down are 80cm out of the door.

We don't have any loft storage so our only space for that stuff is to be on this shelf/ledge. I actually measured it again today and it's only 2.5m rather than 3 so it's a bit easier! Part of the need for the depth is the roof is slopping so then 20/30cm closest to the garage door is almost...

No, unfortunately no option to get to the ceiling for support

The shelf will be about 80cm deep and can be screwed in to a wooden beam that is above the door on one side. So I guess it's just the 'open' side that would be subject to sagging. So if the shelf is 80cm deep and I use 3 beams and one is screwed to the wood above the garage doors and I put...

I think rather than go with expensive new dogs or risk over tightening the holes by applying varnish or similar I'll try the tape option as a cheaper fix for now and see how durable they are. Thanks all.

I thought this was the most appropriate place for this question and I know it's not quite woodworking I hope it was close enough that I may get some help. I want to put shelving above our garage door. The span for the wood would have to be 3m. They won't have super heavy things on just because...

I did see them but £40 seems a high cost compared to some of the other options. If I had my money again I would have purchased them though.

Rather than create a new thread I hoped I could just re-use this one. I have the opposite problem than the OP in that the holes on my cheap MFT-style top are slightly too large. As a test, I wrapped one pass of electrical tape around my dogs and that makes them a very tight fit (but they do...

Ah yeah, I was thinking corded. I like the idea of cordless but I'm always near a plug and I don't think it's worth the extra cost and hassle of charging the batteries for me. I do have the Bosch professional battery range but they don't have a cordless trim router.

Anyone with experience of the Metabo FM 500-6? Seems to be one of the cheaper ones that doesn't look so obviously a Makita clone (Draper, Von Hous, Rutland, Katsu, Erbauer all look the same from the outside)

Maybe I should go for the Katsu as a tide-me-over and to prove the worth of a smaller router and then if/when it dies I might feel more comfortable splashing on the 26200

I did see that one and it looks great but it's double the cost of the smaller one, would you say it's worth it? Maybe I should carry on saving for that one. I do have a routing option but I just avoid it as I don't like it

Thanks, I did read that thread but no mention of the DeWalt. I've also read very mixed reviews of the Katsu and it's only £35 more for a recognised brand with good custom service back up. My concern is the DeWalt at 'only' 590w might not be powerful enough but I don't really know what it's...

I am toying with getting a trim router. I mostly use the router for small dado and edging on 18mm plywood and getting out the big and loud router (for neighbors) is unwieldy. I was wondering if I should go for this offer or save up some more for something like the Bosch GFK600 or Makita...

I'm not sure this is the right place for this thread but here goes. I have to do any woodworking in my garage which I also use for exercise. I want to keep it clean by dust extraction at the source only does so much. I'm wondering about building one of these...

I have one of the smaller Rutland blower/vacuums. https://www.rutlands.com/products/blower-and-vacuum Would this be powerful enough to connect to a cyclone dust collector or will it be so weak as to not collect anything? Nominally it's the same 600w as a Henry hoover but it seems comparing...
