    Getting MFT top made. 96mm vs 100mm & Material

    I used The PARF MKII to make my MFT and have been exceptionally happy with it. I have rails for my Bosch plunge saw and can make great cross cuts, was going to put a sacrificial strip in, but have found I don't need it as I have bought a number of accessories from Benchdogs including the 3mm...

    Buyer Beware

    To be frank, disk drives and memory are the few times I will pay extra and only buy either direct or from reputable companies. I have recently purchased a new NAS by WD (My Cloud 2 drive version, RAID1) and bought direct, it was nearly £50 cheaper than elsewhere (surprising although included...

    Where are they now?

    I found it really strange, I'd been a member less than a year when whatever happened, happened! It was not long after the take over and the new software. That said I've never had any issues - I enjoy it here and whilst I did find where others went and have checked it out I think it is quieter...

    Master switch for a circuit of sockets?

    So when I was refurbing my workshop (single garage) I got a mate who is a sparky to do the job for me. It's on it's 32A ring with an isolator for the complete ring. I have 10 might be 12 double sockets (never will all the sockets be powered/used at the same time). On one wall I have two doubles...

    Your opinion about logos.

    As you asked for opinions, here's mine: If someone recommended a tool and it had no logo, I wouldn't care, if it had a sticker I may peel it off as others have said, if it had an engraved, embossed, etched logo would I think it makes the tool look nicer maybe - would it change my opinion of it...

That said I have the system and used it for my own table and found no issues with it, read the destructions and make sure...

    Excel

    @Garno just one other thing no one has mentioned.... make sure you backup your file. I’d suggested three copies (at least), the actual live file plus the previous version, and a third copy that is stored on different media to the first two. Regards Padster

    Bandsaw advice please

    I got the Axminster 2606B last year, it has increased in price and is just above your range, but I've been really impressed with it (I upgraded blade), It does everything I believe I'll ever need so hoping I won't need to replace as I went by my mantra of the best possible I could afford. I...

    Vaccination

    My wife and I have had our jabs, my wife has had to shield, so was in one of the top groups, I have an underlying condition that meant I would be soon after but they sent us for first *** together, no date for the second and our daughter (17) has not been notified so seems they are generally...
