Got myslef the Dewalt 621 and its a great bit of kit, quite quiet for a router i thought as well. Very good and solid machine, used it a few times on the hinge and lock jigs performed great :lol:

I was thinking of the trend t5 maybe, but i will look into the dewalt. How do they compare?

I hate to think what the police would think if they looked in the back of my van. Most of time i have stanleys, blades, saws, large scraper blades etc. and numerous other tools which could be used as dangerous weapons in the wrong hands.

The shelves will all have lipps on them, but its when the shelves dont have much stuff on they boxes etc. slide about within the shelf area, and i find it annoying the sound of them moving about.

I am just buying new van which I will shelve out. I was wondering if non-slip paint is good enough to paint the shelves with to stop tools etc. from sliding around when travelling? I have used the non-slip matting stapled down before but it does not last long enough and needs to be replaced...

Where do people get their wood in the plymouth area. I want to get some veneered mdf, and other assorted timber. Also I want to make a router table, what kind of veneer should I use on the top and where can I get it? Thanks

was thinking either 110v or 240v. I have been looking at the Bosch GAS25 which has a pass-through power connector so it starts when the tool is used. probably 110v then as most of my tools are 110v.

Can anyone recommend a portable on-site vacuum cleaner that can handle power tools like planer, circular saw etc. I want to get a descent one, but not to expensive as I borrowed my dads cleaner and the mess created was considerably less and much easier to clean up after.

I did everything including the rip out, painting, plumbing, tiling. The units where pre-made Howden units. Just about 2 weeks work when finished.

Hi, this is my first solo kitchen fit-out, what do you think its not totally finished. It should be finished by Friday :) This kitchen was done for my brother so was priced cheaply, I was wondering what sort of price people charge so I can get a better idea of pricing for...

How does everyone on here mark their tools as theirs for onsite work? As I want to find a reliable method of marking mine most things from the hammers to power tools.
