I've decided the time has come for me to buy a belt sander and, while I've narrowed down the choice, I'm hoping people can help me pick between them. Most of the use will be either in my workshop or, for larger pieces, in the garden. The largest thing I'm likely to use them on in the near term...

I'd use some neodymium magnets, they're cheap and very strong - I use two of them to hold my (heavy) folding MFT against the wall. Recess the circular magnets into the wooden frames (one per corner) and screw the steel washers to the wall These are the ones I used but there are plenty of...

Yes, the Fein Mutimaster was more expensive than the Makita equivalent but having had one run-in with pins & needles/numbness in my fingers from some extended sessions with my old (corded) multitool, for me, the reduction in vibration was an important factor At the time I got it the bare tool...

The vast majority of my cordless tools are Makita (and I have quite a few along with about a dozen batteries), I started using them shortly after they introduced their 18v lithium platform and, on the whole, I've been very happy with them - as I was with my corded Makita tools, some of which I...

Thanks for that link - I've been after a small table saw (no room for a large one) and I'd been looking at the 7485, and that's the cheapest I've seen it lately. Fortunately, a couple of weeks ago FFX emailed me a 'you haven't bought anything from us for a while so here's 5% off' voucher and it...

You should be able to rip thin strips off of wider stock using your circ with a sawboard - they cost very little to make

Apologies - It must be the vertical lines in your picture fooling my eyes as I see a vertical strip at the end of the architrave i.e.

I thought you were putting them on the end of the architrave after plastering? I put them behind where the architrave will go before the plaster goes on so the plaster matches the extended linings

It's a bit late for you, but if I'm having a room skimmed, I always - remove the architrave - scrape/sand back the edge of the door liner to bare wood - add a wood strip about 5mm thick by 20-25mm wide (depends what I have available) to the outer edge of the door liner - fill and sand the join...

Back down to £576 again https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01L4P1L9I

A number of people have mentioned that 'Z' is bare tool only - to add to that, 'ZJ' is tool with case

It wasn't flagged as such but it must have been a limited-time deal that's now expired

Not quite as cheap as the £554 deal at the end of last year but the still an excellent price for a great saw https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01L4P1L9I

I'd be just as happy if the men got equality by only having to play 3 sets at the Slams - men and women only play 3 sets at other tournaments, it's just the 4 biggies that make them play 5 set matches

I still think it's wrong that the ladies get the same prize money as the men - not because of any sexist cr@p but because they only play 3 set matches. It's a bit like being paid the same as a full timer when you only work 3 days a week. Great match though and I look forward to seeing how she...

The problem I've found with using angle grinder discs to remove mortar is that, unless you have a shroud with dust extraction, it throws out large plumes of abrasive dust that ends up everywhere - and neighbours can get a bit annoyed when it comes in through open windows or their cars end up...

If you have an angle grinder a carbide mortar rake works very well - they look like this and throw off less dust than a grinding disc Worth getting a tuck trowel as well, cheap and made for repointing - just hold mortar on the back face of a normal trowel and push into the joints with the tuck...

I posted this thread after I built my MFT and, in the thread, @custard made a good point about sacrificial strip positioning with the BenchDogs fence and right-hand extension so you might want to have a look and see if it applies to you
