FFX909 will get 5% off

Eumenia RAS. 600mm rail. I have a virtually new one. Also with an overhead router attachment. It's one of those 'got away' items that you never saw and if you did you'd wish you had.

No, grey logo in the middle, everything static

I'm just getting a blank page from the link?

I think I can cope listening to radio 4 chat on a volume same as someone next to me talking quite well. In fact I have done for over 30 years, both on site and in my home workshop. If the sound level is a health and safety issue, you need to ban talking full stop on site, as the volume is the...

I have both. The Metabo is a great all round machine and will last. However if you can stretch to it the Deros is fantastic. 4' and 5" pads, I bought the kit with the extractor (as all mine are 110v and the deros is 240v only at the mo), plus habd sanders etc. it's light, powerful, nearly...

I bought a Wadkin BOAS P/T about 4 years ago on Ebay. prisine condition and hardly any usage, been in a heated university workshop where they did very little woodwork. I paid £550 for it. Just looked on Ebay and now over £2000! Jeez,

They have, in common with others like Makita, more than one range of quality. I have just paid £140 for a 125mm Hitachi grinder for work. It will last and take the stick. They also do a similar sized grinder for £80. It won't last in trade / industrial use. for DIY or if you nurse it, it...

Buy the Mafell. Really accurate, not s plasticky as the festool, fits Festool tracks and is the better saw out of the two. Love mine

Holy thread resurrection

It depends on how many different tools you need. Makita have the largest range in the 18v stuff. I have Makita impact driver, small drill driver, slightly larger drill driver, SDS drill, grinder, reciprocating saw, circular saw, jig saw, dry wall auto feed screwdriver, torch, 2 chargers, 8...

I have the Mafell. Fab. has the edge over the Festool. Why not buy the Mafell saw with Festool tracks (it fits them) so you have the better saw but access to the Festool system using your Festool tracks

Need a few sheets of 8x4 ply for a project, a/c ply would be fine. Any one bought /know where the cheapest deals are, either 20 moles around leeds or delivered? Cheers

1) If you want the best saw then either Festool or Mafell. Remember you'll be using it for a couple of decades if you look after it, so spend the extra now and enjoy. You'll soon forget the 20% you saved on the second tier saw and wish you bought one of the above. 2) In my opinion the...

Am I the only one that uses and likes the Bahco 1031 range? They might have composite handles like the Marples but I find they balance well, sharpen well, come in 15 sizes and a full set is around £250 (£200 if your lucky with offers on from Mathew). It's a law of diminishing returns...

I'm building some built in carcasses and am using standard 18mm MDF with 6mm MDF backs. To shorten the learning curve on MDF finishing what do you use? I assume some sort of sealer first then roller on some eggshell or is stain better? Also standard screws with pre drlled pilots or splash...

surprisingly good for an 18v. Obviously it isn't going to do the same as a 28v or 36v machine but for general stuff it's fine. I use it for 7mm holes in concrete for screws etc no problem and have used it for 10mm and 12mm in concrete too, no problem either. it isn't as quick drilling 10/12mm...

Have used an hitachi impact for over 5 years now. Unbeatable for longer screws. Recently spent £900 on a set of Makita li-ion gear. Amazing. one bag to wheel on the job. Health and safety sorted as cordless. Have jig saw, circular saw, reciprocating saw, angle grinder, impact driver...

I bought the Mafell equivalent. More expensive but a superb bit of kit, better than the festool I would say. Makita seem to have copied the Mafell pre cut idea by drawing the saw backwards. The makita looks a good deal at that price. But as the saw will probably last me 15 years I'd rather...

Picked my 2 sets of ali up this afternoon from Lord Dibbers. What a bargain! Also had a good chat and viewed the new workshop 'work in progress'. It's a superb build and will be a fantastic workshop when completed, which it nearly is. A BIG thanks to Dibs for all the hard work put in...
