...and don't forget to buy some SDS grease (moly grease as it doesn't rot the rubber on the chuck). SDS bits are loosely held by the chuck and the drill bit can get very hot due to the friction of dry metal on dry metal, this can slow down the operation and lead to more wear on the chuck &...

The Bosch SDS seem to have good reviews, my Makita ones have been faultless - one corded and a 36v (18v x 2) cordless Get SDS Plus, SDS Max is for heavy duty stuff - I have a cheap one that I use as a breaker, it doesn't have a clutch so it's potential thumb/wrist breaker when used for drilling...

I don't think I've used a hammer drill since I got my first SDS drill about 20 years ago. The newer cordless ones are brilliant if you're up a ladder or don't need to drill dozens of holes at once. SDS drill bits are consumables, buy a cheap set from toolstation, after a while you'll work out...

Yes, that's a Trend table so the plate is pre-drilled but there are templates available for drilling the hole in plates that don't have them - the T11 is such a common router that plates that include drilling templates are likely to include one for the T11 Yep, great for rapid up/down when...

When the T11 is used upside down in a table the height of the cutter can be changed (raised/lowered) via a handle that you connect to a hex head on the base of the router (the plate needs a hole in the correct position - this can be drilled if necessary) Have a look at this video - just jump to...

It was £553.99 on Amazon yesterday - but the deal has expired now...

I wish I could justify having a Domino, it's a tool that I'd love to have but just wouldn't use enough - can't get there even with my most optimistic man-maths :LOL:

The Trend T11 and Trend CWT seems to be a nice combo - but my budget may be more restricted than yours. As mentioned above, the T11 can be height adjusted from above the table so no need for a lift - although a 'brace' type cranked handle makes height changes faster/less effort than the...

You can always phone them up and order over the phone, I've had to amend a couple of orders in the past and they seem to be very accommodating

Seem to work for me. I can add to basket and take it all the way to checkout, stopped short of confirming the order though as I've spent enough on tools lately ;) Only 47 left now, I think it was 77 left when I posted the deal...

FFX have the Domino DF500 Q-Plus available at £639 as part of their Cyber Monday flash sale https://www.ffx.co.uk/product/Get/Festool-574327-Df500-Q-Plus-Gb-4014549148457-240V-Domino-Joining-System-In-Systainer-2

Definitely a bargain - I've had mine, along with the mobile stand, for several years and it's a great saw.

Have a look at https://www.hunker.com/13401655/how-to-remove-pva - you can always try their suggestions on a small area to see if they work

I can recommend the universal 28T blade as it seems to cope well with everything I've thrown at it - and it's only £25 on Amazon at the moment https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003TOKDPG

Although it doesn't really address your original question, are you really sure that freehand is the way you want to go? It's a fair amount of setup work for each dado - which is fine for a couple of cuts but, presumably, you're going to be cutting a fair number for your island. A router table...

You can't prove a negative - surely the onus is on them to prove that a) you're that person and b) you owe them something (presumably money)

I'm looking at making a custom size MFT top using 18mm non-structural hardwood ply as it's less affected than MDF by any potential moisture issues in an unheated workshop. I was talking to a builder friend to see if he could get the ply for me on his trade account (free delivery) when he...

I posted the info below on another thread last month but thought it worth repeating (in condensed form) for anyone who wants a 3-spoke wheel for the Bosch PBD40 --- I've had a PBD40 for about a year and I've been very happy with the performance. The only downer for me, was that the round wheel...
