you mean SDS bits?

Some of these stories make my smile but also wince. I'm always nervous when my (DIY) jobs go smoothly... I think, wait for it... Something will go wrong any minute now :-) Back to earlier thoughts: Price and quality and scope (what you are getting) needs to be agreed up front. The cost...

I just find it hard to find the good, honest, companies/sole traders. I do try and go by reputation, but people's expectations are so varied, one person's recommendation can't always be trusted. As a customer, the thing I value most is transparency and a commitment to doing the job properly...

I tried both oscillation settings and have come to the same conclusion that it was more effective using the larger 6mm oscillation setting. I think now that I have proper tools for the job, I'm happy to refinish every year, rather than have a pigmented finish. The legs however, far more...

Thanks for the compliment Bob. Yes, I'm very happy with the finish. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Basic project, re-finishing my teak garden table. It's about 10 years old. Covered most winters, but neglected since it was purchased. I took the high spots down (where the wood had cupped) with a hand plane, then went at the whole thing with a belt sander 60 grit then 120 grit (note, the...

Is it solid wood, or veneered? A picture will help a lot. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

+1 for the multitool. Track saw is also brilliant. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Taking the advice on the thread, I started a 'thing I want to do' task today. Rejuvenating my garden table so I can relax and have breakie outside. I'm enjoying working on some wood (been doing loads of other DIY lately). This is a nice break. Got halfway through, and my belt sander belt...

Thanks Roger. I sense that sandpaper advice is borne out of bitter experience. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Haha, thanks Lons. Good luck with the ceiling! I'm scouring (pun intended) eBay for some good abranet prices. I just need a couple of each in a range of grits, rather than a bulk of one grit.

It's great reading these opinions, looks like I've bought a decent bit if kit. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Thanks Marcros! Ordered, I do intend to use abranet discs so this is perfect. Have you used it on other materials apart from wood? Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

...£119 Inc VAT from FFX. Seems like a good deal. I have bought cheap Sanders in the past and always regret it. Now I have bought a not-inexpensive which I hope will handle all my woodwork, AND, DIY jobs like sanding walls (plaster, filler, paint) etc. Will let you know my review when I start...

Well at least I see that others face similar challenges. I like the idea of doing things on a list I enjoy, but I need to make that list of the things I really must do. Maybe I can alternate between the two lists to keep things interesting (and moving). Thanks for your suggestions. Sent from...

This sounds like a promising approach! Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

I must admit I'm being forced to reflect on my use of language in light of the high standards I'm seeing from contributers to this thread. I do not think I pass linguistic muster (did I use that correctly?) Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
