As has been pointed out, the saws aren't the same model. The axminster one is the EBQ (for 240V) and the ebay one is just the Q. So the difference is electronic speed control and brake which are nice to have. Incidentally I've seen that some festool dealers on ebay are selling at the old...

Hi Bob, It probably depends on how bad the rusting is. For surface rust I prefer to use the garryflex abrasive blocks (abrasive embedded in rubber pads) as these clean off the rust and leave a nice finish to the metal. They will also remove any patina so if you don't want them looking too...

Hi Simon, That looks like a very nice first attempt. I think a couple of pieces split off on the corners, as has been said, this would be less likely to happen with some hardwood. I think one of the things to do is too keep practising, always comparing what you've just done to...

Don't forget that there's 6% quidco with screwfix, which would make a nice little discount on this.

As Nigel commented on, the new Li cordless version is a blue case trade version. I don't know if the internals are any better then the green one, but they must have some confidence in it. It's also on offer at Axminster right now and coming with 2 batteries looks pretty good value. What is the...

It looks like this is just another search engine for various shops, like the other price comparison sites ( Kelkoo, pricerunner etc). Quite what it has to do with gmtv I'm not sure :? If you add the item to your basket it tells you which shop it actually coming from. In the case of the...

I'd recommend having at look at the Toolbox Book by Jim Tolpin. I borrowed a copy from my local library and it had a good chapter on mobile toolcarts and toolboxes. There were some impressive designs in there and it should give you some inspiration.

Has any tried the parallel guide for the guide rails? It looks like it could be very useful if you use the saw and rail to cut up sheet materials and want to be able to repeat the same width cut several times. I came across this on the blog at tools for working wood...

I was reading some threads and noticed that a few people had been interested in a Boggs spokeshave on ebay. If anyone is still after one Tilgear have the flat and curved ones at 10% currently (so £96 delivered. Not a huge saving but worthwhile if anyone was going to buy one anyway. This only...

Thanks to all who replied about shimming for different board thicknesses. For anyone who didn't get one, it looks like this model is now discontinued so it might be worth keeping an eye out to see if anyone else starts discounting to clear their stocks.

I'm also interested in buying the Kreg K2000 pack, but noticed that it only seems to do fixed depths of materials (13,19 and 38mm) whereas the K3 master system is variable from 13 to 38mm. Does anyone know if it's possible to use the K2000 on other depths of material and if so how easy it...
