Hi Guys, A good friend has just told me to take a look on youtube and search for 'saw stop'. Is this for real! A table saw that means no more finger loss :shock: Has anyone seen this available in the UK or is it just a gimmick? Dave

Great news Jake! I think i'll need to start having a bit more of a haggle with the dealers near me as i am looking at the festool chopsaw but my heart keeps arguing with my head! thats why i originall went with the dewalt.

I always find that the dealers always quote the same price. The good thing i find is that at least i dont end spending loads only then to find someone else has got the same thing but fifty quid cheaper - as happened when i purchased a dewalt chopsaw! Cheers Dave

Hi Con, I too have had a problem with sanding on my multimaster - but it was the actual sanding pad, not the paper. The rubber came away from the metal backing. I took it back to my local dealer who replaced it straight away but it happened again within an hour. after my local dealer done some...

Hi again Guys! After spending the last few days pondering on it, I have decided to go along the steel sheet route as there is a great tile effect sheeting available, It doesn't look too bad and I have worked out that in 6m lengths, I only need 4 sheets + fixings - cost around £180 All in the...

All these ideas sound great & cost effective. Thanks for the help guys! :D

Thanks Mike! I have had a quick look on the internet & found a few variants but it looks like this is a great alternative. I think this will probably be the root I take. I just hope my ever-forgiving wife lets me get the workshop finished soon! She hasn't stopped moaning that as I emptied all...

Hi Mick, I have thought of felt shingles But I haven't had much experience of them and very wary about how long they will last or even how easy they are to install. I will be using 18mm ply for the roof and then need a suitable covering. Will I need an underlay with felt shingles? Mick, Have...

Hi Guys! I have just demolished my old shed in favour of a slighty bigger one so i can turn it into a workshop (My tool kit just seems to keep growing!!) I am about to build the new one but I am no expert with roofing. I used felt on the last one but hated the stuff. As much as i would love to...

I too, dropped by the wycombe branch of axminster just last month - just for a peek as i had always used their web site but never visited a branch. I was pleasantly suprised! Although not quite as suprised at the fact my wife actually encouraged me to treat myself.....................OMG! By...

Thanks Doug! I have just been looking on the web regarding the dust deputy & it sounds great. Only problem is that i can't seem to find a uk supplier. I would love to know if there are any members who have (or has had) the dust deputy and how well it works? also does anybody know of a uk...

Hi guys! As I have only been into woodworking on a hobby-ist scale for a couple of years now I have just upgraded my dust extractor. I had previousley been the proud owner of a festool ctl midi but found it a pain that i could not buy a re-usable bag for it thus I ventured to my local dealer as...

Hi Guys, I am fairly new, so, hi to all of you! I find that the national companies are great for their stock levels but found smaller retailers better for service & spares. I have been an AXM.. cust for a while but found it hard to find accessories for my tools. I was directed, by a great...

Hi All, I am also new - don't be too hard! As a relative newbie to woodworking, I bought a SIP jointer that went on ebay after first use. My next attempt was a dewalt DW682 as recommended to me - I bought it and upon using it for the first time, found it already needed the depth adjusting...
