Not sure never used one ( CT midi) but before I got it hooked up, some cardboard and elastic bands to my Wickes workshop vac worked fine ! 🤣

Lol the extraction port was a pain the proverbial - until I realised it was the same size as my solid tube ducting and I cut a piece of that to fit around it then marry up to my flex tubing!

I recently got the Triton mentioned and think it’s great value and does everything I need, I have nothing to compare it to really, but can only say in the short time I’ve had it it has made life so much simpler and quicker. Its also fairly lightweight and easy to move but still sturdy enough not...

So I posted in another thread about my wife and daughter choosing their own timber and me then given the challenge of what to make with it (for Christmas pressies for them), my daughter chose Teak so this is what I did, it's nothing special or too difficult really (compared to most things I've...

It seems there was a thanks sent in the end to the OP if slightly delayed. Personally I have only ever found the people here to be very helpful and I try to be the same if any of my limited knowledge can help...but just in case if you have helped me and felt a simple thank you was needed and I...

All, just moving slightly off topic, I quite like routers even though I only have the trend t5 but it mostly does everything I need including making lots of mess! Anyway I was wondering about router tables I’ve had the same cheap one for years and again it does ok but I’d really like something...

Hi, I’m afraid I have no experience to offer as I’ve had a thicknesser for years and recently got a Triton surface planer, so I have separates but did a quick search and this thread is fairly recent Planer thicknessers hth Padster

I have fitted dust extraction with clear tubes that I added this year for the bigger tools (but my workshop is the garage) but I also have a wickes as per above (might not be the exact model) - I’ve had that years and it’s great with all the portable tools, I also use it on a thicknesser and it...

I have to say my own personal experiences have been very good, I have a Bandsaw & combined disk & belt sander, I'm very pleased with both and have experienced no issues so far but there is no real longevity yet as both are less than 18mths old. Personally I have used Axi because I have one...

I had a soldering iron type prior to the Peter Child and its chalk and cheese. I did a one day course with Bob Neill that was unbelievable grounding and used a Peter Child there before purchasing - definitely no regrets and would recommend. hth Padster

+ 1 for the Peter Child very good.

Gents, Many thanks to all who have responded - your help and knowledge is much appreciated. Thank You Padster

Gents, Any current recommendations for good suppliers of 'pig skin' all current links in here no longer valid :-( Thanks in advance Padster

All thanks for all the links so far all look useful and give me options. I was also thinking about some of the decorative things maybe like I guess ‘corner protectors’, and the ones that either go round or through the sides on the edge if that makes sense? So I’ve just seen another thread and I...

Hi All, Christmas is coming and over recent years I've created a rod for my own back by making something (from wood), a present each, for my wife and daughter. This year on the way back from holiday (yes we managed to get one in Cornwall) we made a detour and stopped of at Yandles, where my...

I recently get a new bandsaw and wanted to be sure I had the best possible set up so I did lots of reading and searching and found that a you tube video by Alex Snodgrass was widely recommended - I’ve used this and it all works as I wished ....I’m no expert but it might be worth a watch. hth Padster

Don't get one 'caught' in a belt sander!!! Don't ask!! :dunno: Other than that pretty useful!

@Prizen when I bought my new garage door a couple of years ago I went for a rolling shutter door with remote control, it‘s not insulated as I had an up and over manual and this is far better In all aspects BUT why am I writing this is well there was an option to have an insulated version but I...

We may have crossed paths then as I work for the company who's gear your hitting :D

Do we know each other per chance ? :unsure:
