With that lot it might be worth hiring a pallet truck for a few days. Do not underestimate what a PITA the Record is to get off its Pallet. Plus you will want to move things around once they arrive.

I hope they gave you a lot of discount and or freebies

Steve, I made one about 15 years ago for a client. My only complaint is that the seat was not deep enough and the back too upright. the client was happy and has it as a centre piece in his garden. I will try and remember where the plans are. It is a nice project to do. I keep fancying doing...

I Had the Hammer N4400 in the list as well and chose the BS400 as it is powerful enough for what I want and mostly because it runs of a 13 amp plug and I did not fancy another re wire. It has plenty of power and will re saw no problem especially with one of Ian's blades. There is one other...

I took some asbestolux sheet to the tip last year. i found it in the loft in perfect condition like new. I put it in a large waste sack and went to the tip. I told them what it was. Just a minute he says, they all go and get their white overalls and dust masks and dress up. No suit and mask...

It was for the above reasons I went for the alternative Panel lifter because you lift with your arm straight down by your side using your legs to do the lifting. The arm that is high is only steadying the sheet. When going from vertical to horizontal you lower the arm that is steadying the...

I am a long way off 79 but bought this one a few years ago http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-pa ... rd-carrier It has the advantages of being a lot cheaper and as it has a handle you are better placed to manoeuvre sheets onto a table. I use it for carrying all my sheet materials

Alf Unfortunately you need to check your research. Your Scheppach sucks a theoretical 183M3/hr which is about 107cfm. The Jet DC 1100 Vortex Cone has a theoretical 1650m3/hr which is about 950cfm. You will find that your 183m3/hr is not achieved in fact and when you add a cyclone you probably...

The good news for those thinking about a Jet Dc1100 my figures at 559cfm equate to 950 m3/hr against the very theoretical 1650m3/hr in the Jet specification. I do not think this is bad at all given all I have read on the differences between theory and reality once you fit a fine filter and ductwork.

I measured the Cfm and flow rate this afternoon. The 150mm duct achieves 559cfm and 4231ft/m The 100mm duct only achieves 248cfm and 3046 ft/m I am pleased with this but it does show that the high volume low pressure systems are not good when you start reducing the duct size. AES if sanding is...

In answer to the questions: 1. I thought long and hard over this one before making the decision. The problem is that it is the very fine dust that is the killer the bigger lumps and chips we can either add to our diet or spit out. Therefore when you think about it you either need to have...

If you are looking at dust extraction read Bill Penz website carefully and then do the maths.

Another for the 3M 7500. It is light weight, comfortable and not too sweaty when whering it for long periods.

Unless you have a good reason for spending more the BS400 is a good solid machine that will do all you want

Only if you also have a mallet and can sharpen the chisel

That will be mighty impressive to do with a tennon saw. But given your tools it is the best choice. I would also fix a small batten along the length of your picture frame wood on the line of the rebate and use the edge of the batten to keep your saw on the line

I think there is a screw on the casing of the fan on the Jet you can use to ground the ductwork. At least I could not think what else it did If you are so minded.

They are worth keeping. I have a set I got when I started my apprenticeship 36 years ago. They are miles better than the blue ones that were also available and for general day to day work still provide excellent service. You might find someone who can re grind them for you otherwise you will...

I never grounded my old drainpipe system!

Sorry no photos at the moment. I am not sure what the photos would show as the outside cupboard/shed is very compact and a line of metal ducting is not that exciting. If there is interest I will take photos on Saturday and put them up. I very nearly went with 6" drain pipe having used it...
