Why not use a picture of yourself as avatar? I think it is quite nice to see what members look like. Makes it more personal. Or what?

Read up on agnotology, something much practised in USA, and seemingly coming to UK. As to common sense, it might be common, but often doesn't make much sense.

Huh, Triton's TRA001 should be your first choice! Have one for my Triton router table and one for my Leigh FMT Pro Mortise & Tenon Jig. The TRA001 is a well thought-out router, plenty of guts and easy to adjust. The first one I bought was from before they had the table winder, which is why I...

Laycock = impotent?

1/64" plywood and cheap in same sentence is an oxymoron :eek: Also, from experience, that thin plywood buckles easily, so it needs good support.

Isn't it so that blades break more often on 3-wheeled bandsaws? The smaller wheels make the bending of the blade a bit more severe from what I have been told (my bandsaw is a JET 16 incher which is just excellent). Reason I am on this thread is that a mate has the Rexon and I had to help him...

The strange thing is that really old machinery of industrial quality seems to just keep going. Not all those fandangle gizmos that just are more to go wrong either. Maybe not so safe, but as was pointed out, when seppos make things *****-proof they just come up with a new breed of idiots.

Bought a Metabo Bas 260 Swift a year ago, but had the first use of it a couple of days ago. One thing I quickly learnt about these small ones: they are gutless! Had earlier a 14" Chinese job with a 500W motor, which cut beautifully, but also was underpowered. Especially when cutting Aussie...
