I am on the look out for a disc sander and have my eye on this one; http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Axminster-DS12DL-Disc-Sander-21335.htm However, I am a little put off by the fact that it uses self adhesive sanding discs. Is this really a draw back? How easy are they to remove? and can...

If you can sell livestock ....I would offer my missus for a trend t11 router with matching table. :D

Hello Mike, I agree my jet base does just that and it is annoying. I might go in for one of these sip kits and see if I can modify it to fit my bandsaw. What weight is your table saw? my bandsaw is around 150kg could it handle that weight? oh, and how far do those rear wheels stick out? Esc.
