Hello @Deaconspike One other thing worth mentioning (if you decide to go "buy" route) - if you are drilling shelf pin holes, these are typically 5mm. You can buy shelf pins of other sizes, but 5mm are going to be more accessible and in larger variety. Regular dowel jigs usually don't come...

Hello @Deaconspike I am not sure I would go with any of the suggested above jigs for a row of shelve holes. None of them was designed with a "row holes for shelving" as a primary function. I assume previous posters did not actually read your question beyond the title. Regarding your actual...

Hello @CoolNik The tasks you listed do not necessarily sound like they require large cutters. While you are deciding which individual 1/2 cutters you really need, you could continue using existing 1/4 router bits with the big Triton. You only need to acquire the correct 1/4 collet for your...

Hello @Krome10 Consider the Milwaukee M12FMT 12V Fuel Multi-Tool. Yes, it is on a different battery platform, and the whole set is going to cost you double the DeWalt, but it is a "cry once" type of tool. It outperforms DeWalt in (almost) all areas - size, vibration, speed, accuracy. One...

Not to mention that they used to display prices both with and without VAT; now, all prices are without VAT. Feels like I am being cheated, just like in the US shops.

Hello @Skeety If you need CAD software for business and don't mind paying a subscription, then Fusion 360 is pretty decent and reasonably priced. For hobby use, I would stay away from Fusion 360 or anything Autodesk. They keep changing what is and is not included in the free version. For...

What sort of trimming task requires oomph or variable speed? If you meant palm size router (rather than trim router) with variable speed and oomph which can do okay trimming jobs - then (if OF1010 is not in the budget) it is hard to beat Dewalt DCW600 (cordless) or its corded version DeWALT...

Hello @Blackswanwood Have you seen Bosch 12v router? Here is a comparison with Makita corded: And another review worth watching:

John McGrath did a review of the bigger version of this grinder. His later video featuring this grinder includes a plastic box to catch water.

I wonder - would using a professional sharpening service to bulk sharpen most frequently used tools be a good idea to start with in this instance? In theory - this would: 1. Allow to start with sharp tools and give an idea of what "sharp" is 2. reduce the need for buying expensive sharpening...

As suggested above - leave the dogs as they are if you want to use them in a ready made MFT top. Axminster sell a tool which may help you with the hole size: "UJK Parf System Reamer for 20mm Holes". Although it has some mixed reviews.

Hello @Housey210 Thank you for the advice. I had actually completed that job a while ago, as mentioned in my previous message. The overall method I employed aligned with your description (except I used a multi tool to cut nails, just because I have access to one). It's reassuring to know that...

Have you considered using a circular saw with a side fence to make your groove? Remove the door from hinges, clamp couple of battens either side of the door (to widen the working area) - attach a fence to your circular saw, set the depth and start cutting, moving the fence on the width of the...

I have just realised that having finished my doors saga back in August I forgot to say HUGE THANK YOU for all the advice and confidence boost I received in this and my other thread. I greatly appreciate all the advice and support I received. Thank you very much to everyone who participated. My...

Triton routers are good machines (I own MOF and TRB) but they are in the world of their own. With a couple of exceptions - there are almost no 3rd party accessories. TRA is a good option for a permanent fixture in a router table and for slab leveling (due to power) but it is too heavy for door...

Thank you. It seems that almost everyone in this thread is suggesting changing the frame, so that's the advice I'm likely to follow. I've watched several videos on YouTube and have a general idea of what installing a new frame involves. The challenge with those videos is that they usually...

Yes. Will do, thank you. If you mean the horizontal (top) portion of the frame - left side is 3mm lower than the right one. It could be 4mm as you wrote, it is hard to measure precisely and thick uneven layer of paint does not help either. Thank you very much for taking the time to provide...

No, I haven't. That's why I'm hesitant and would prefer to explore all possibilities of fixing the existing frame first.

That's good to know. I will need to make some calculations. It's a bit challenging to provide an exact measurement, but I would estimate the wall thickness to be around 65-68mm.

yes, the width at the top is OK. Understood. Thank you. The wall is leaning backwards, which is why the door frame (being flush with the wall) is leaning backwards as well. There is a 6mm difference between the top and the bottom the frame. It did not occur to me to check for twist. Thank you...
