    Cordless Drill Recommendations

    Hi The wife of a friend has asked me to pick out a cordless drill for his upcoming birthday (top spend of £170). I am not sure what I should be looking at. Is voltage (18 v 14.4) critical or would battery size be more important? I have been looking at a couple from Makita...

    Invisible Latch?

    I am trying to install a small door from our loft conversion into an area of remaining loft space that we use for storage. I would like the door to be as inconspicuous as possible and so would like an invisible open/close mechanism/latch rather than a traditional handle. I have found the...

    Safari users beware

    Hi Andy I think the zdnet article made it quite clear that the users were given a local account (at least the revised version). The undelying issue is simply that the complexity of modern OSs and the skill of hackers mean that everyone should be security concious whatever their platform...

    Safari users beware

    Not at all, a correctly configured router should stop most attempts to break in "uninvited" (if you knowingly or unknowingly install some dodgy software then that is another matter). I don't think Mac users need to be particularly worried at the moment anyway, as the few known exploits around...

    Mac Virus/Worm

    I agree that the best defence is not to become complacent. http://news.com.com/Is+Mac+OS+as+safe+as+ever/2100-1002_3-6043353.html Alan

    Safari users beware

    Mac attacks seem to be comming thick and fast at the moment - 3 in the last 2 weeks. No where near Windows scales but a worrying trend. The latest vulnerability is in Safari and users may want to take the precautions detailed here until a fix is out. Alan

    Mac Virus/Worm

    possibly true but unfortunately opening attachments sent by email (or clicking on embeded hyperlinks) is still a very comon way for malware to get on to machines :roll:

    Chisel Sharpening

    Hi All What would be the best way to flatten the backs and sharpen a bunch of new chisels? I have red/green DMT, an 800 grit Waterstone and a 6000 grit waterstone at my disposal. The chisels and stones are new and I have no previous tool sharpening experience so sorry for the vagueness of the...

    Xcalibur Table Saw

    Thanks all, though I think I'm more confused now than ever! Tombo, what is the difference between the old and new style 804s as you understand it? I see that the new on has options for metal or iron tops etc. Is the general consensus that the sliding table isn't up to much? What is the fence...

    Xcalibur Table Saw

    I am starting to think about lashing out on an Xcalibur 10" Tilting Table Saw (804 01 01). Does anyone know what the Half Cast & Sliding option listed for £50 is like? Cheers Alan

    Norm in Hand Tool Shocker

    Yes I was shocked by this as well. Thought it must be an imposter at first. Chisels, Japanese saws etc ... what's the world coming to. Just when I am starting to think about a table saw as well :shock:

    Another Vac Question

    Thanks for the tips guys. I think I will fork out the extra cash for the Trend as 1) accessories should be available and 2) reading around it is dust below 2.5 microns that is the most harmful. Thanks for signing up to give me the warning Majorlarf and welcome to the forums!! Alan
