I recently picked up a Festool ETS 150/5 - I used it today for the first time but think I may be missing a grit, though it doesn't appear anywhere sells anything above 180 grit. Axminster don't have 220 as an option - not out of stock, not even listed. Even the official Festool site only has...

That's the one I got a few weeks back. Bare in mind though it's not your full kit - so I don't have the dust extraction and something else? There's a big gap in the case. I forget what it is. I was tempted to buy the dust extraction but then realized it is over £50 so have shelved that for now...

That's my understanding, the power is the difference. The adjuster is the same. You may have to purchase a 1/2 inch collet in addition depending on where you get it from. The MOF is a beast enough when I've used it as a plunge router - so I'm happy enough.

@weirdbeardmt it was the Triton MOF001. Seems expensive on Amazon, but Screwfix have it at a resonable price. I didn't think I need the extra power that the TRA001 has, but they are the same otherwise. Both include the above table adjustment - can't comment on the smaller one.

I'll be watching this closely. I'm starting my garage build in the next few weeks, but it won't be till spring until things get interesting so I'll share details then. Out of interest - the LED panel. How are these wired into the lighting system? Is it just live/netural - with earth if needed...

I'm going through the same router table dilemma myself, with very similar hardware. 1) I've actually purchased the Bosch in the past two weeks. It's brilliant, but as a palm router as the name suggests. It's handled everything I've thrown at it but handheld, for edge work and the like. I'm not...

Interesting thread. I placed an order on Wednesday morning, about 9am ish and it is due to arrive tomorrow (Monday). Same issue, took a few days for the order to be processed. I figured it might have been down to having a Festool sander on the order, and the issue with stock levels they've been...

Thanks Mike. Boom arm is what I mean. Thanks for the term to search for. This has given me plenty of examples already.

I might be over thinking this, but in a few of the youtubers I follow these details are usually out of shot. For example, Peter Millard what does your setup look like? How do people handle a shop vac extraction overhead, with power cables attached? I'll be adding an MFT to my setup shortly and...

Peter's videos are great but I have an additional one to check out. I have the same saw and after this upgrade the fence is much better. It's as quick and easy as the video, took the whole of 5 minutes. As Peter said, the quick release handle does nothing. Ignore it. The fence also is...

This is brilliant. I plan to make a set of fitted wardrobes in the future and someone else said something very similar. The tool, plus the cost of the materials still comes in under at what it would cost for a professional fitting/company to do. This is how I can sell the purchase to the missus...

I've not made this yet, but a few people swear by it. Will be needing to make this soon though, but it seems to be the easiest version where you use a drill that I've seen.

Hi all, If all goes to plan we will be the owner of a new house soon with a reasonable size garage. I plan on converting the garage into a workshop, however it comes with a up and over door. I was considering my options here and figured you would be able to provide some guidance. I'm thinking...

Thanks for the update - I'll re-add the sole plate back into my model. At least I'm changing this now in SketchUp, rather than on site. Much easier. Enjoying the thread - keep it up, though reading this one has made me add a £500 nailer to my list of tool purchases. I'll repay the...

Curious about the sole plate here. It seems not all projects have a doubled up sole plate - Mikes workshop for example doesn't. But some of the projects I've followed along with do. I'm at the last stage of my design but confused about when one is needed, or is this purely a preference thing...

Excellent, thanks for the comments. I'm a house move away from building my workshop but good to know the options. This and the other thread has been very useful. I'll be sure to share my progress when the time comes.

This is a good question. Can you answer this Mike regarding the use of the block piers in the previous videos? I happened to watch some of these videos recently too so would ask the same thing myself. Clip here is only a few mins long: youtu.be/Hyfbb2FRkV8?t=477 Much appreciated.
