If you look at the link to the Sheppach HBS261 manual I posted above you'll see pictures showing them and they appear identical to those on my Ferrex e.g.

Here's a link to my PDF copy of the Scheppach HBS261 manual - I'll keep it available for a while https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z7cQ-HuzvAunts2MIUoNE55fReZP1rvt/view?usp=sharing

I got one in October last year and, as far as I could ascertain, mine was the same as the HBS261 - so if people think that this year's one is also identical to the HBS261, they haven't changed much other than the colour. The one thing I really hated about it was the awful stiff plastic mains...

It's a pity that Excel don't do a longer rail - I'd love a 2700 or 3000 instead of joining my two 1400 rails but I can't justify the cost of the longer Festool rails.

It may be because I'm getting older but I find reducing the number of times I have to move heavy things into/out of position makes my body complain less the following morning :p As a consequence, for anything that's heavy, bulky or awkward to move, I normally scribe & cut a large piece of stiff...

You could always try the router bit method to get to within a couple of inches or so (router width) of the wall and then an angle grinder for the last bit - or even a dremil with a tile cutting bit should be OK for a short distance

You could try a bit like this in a palm router. https://www.protilertools.co.uk/product/bosch-diamond-router-bit-2608620217 Easy enough to clamp a guide to the worktop to get a straight cut - might be a bit dusty though

Another vote for the Bosch GCM 12SD, I've had one for several years and it's a great saw. It has a laser but, thanks to another member on here, you can change this (in about 5 mins) to a shadow line which I prefer...

All I can say is put in at least twice as many sockets as you think you'll need - then add a few extra for good measure. You'll never need to use them all at once but anything that avoids trailing cords, or the need to use an extension lead, in a workshop removes trip hazards. You may also find...

Reliant Robin? :p

Not fluted and need cutting to size, but you can get 7mm rods e.g. Oak: 10pcs 7mm diameter x 30cm Oak wooden dowel Rod =3 meters | eBay Iroko: 10pcs 7mm diameter x 30cm Iroko wooden dowel Rod =3 meters | eBay

After 15 years use that doesn't sound too bad... :)

If you have equity in the property and are going to remortgage at some point, it might be worth looking at a fixed rate offset arrangement that allows you a larger 'pot' than is needed to repay your current loan. e.g. if your current mortgage is, say, £200k on a property worth £400k, you could...

If you can route a channel into the bottom of the cabinets, these white aluminium profiles with opal diffuser are only 7mm deep https://mkshop.co.uk/2-metres-white-aluminium-extrusion-profile-linemini-for-led-strip-lights/ I used them when I needed unobtrusive stair lighting and filled them...

Cheers, I've ordered 3 each of 120 and 180 Abranet Max - I can get cheap lower grit ones locally from Screwfix or Toolstation

The consensus seems to be that 4" is the way to go - so I've got off the fence and ordered the 9404 Thanks everyone (y)

It's through buyaparcel's ebay store - it's priced at £258 but they've a 10% off coupon which takes it down to £228.59 It's a crap business name but buyaparcel are an authorised Makita dealer and I've bought from them before and had no issue registering them with Makita for the 3-year warranty

That's the thing - sensible head says 3" is big enough but the tool-wh0re in me says 'bigger has to be better' (starting to sound like my wife there... ;))

Yes, both the prices I've quoted are for 240v (y)
