Thanks for the responses here, I was hoping that the likes of Makita, dewalt, Metabo, or Bosch would have one; Im really not too keen on Clarke or the other budget brands although I guess some are not so bad for DIY which is all I need it for anyway. The Maffell gear looks good but crickey it...

Hi all, is there such a thing as a mini track saw available in the uk ? Something similar to the Grizzly from the USofA.

Thanks marcos

Ive just purchased, £49.99 with the fence. Thats saved me a few quid thanks for the heads up. I notice that it has both 1/4" and 3/8" shanks, does the larger 3/8" hold larger bits ?

Thanks for the responses, yep I will have a look at the Katsu trimmer, right now in fact.

Hi ive never used a router before and really could use one to cut some rebates for some garage shelves im making. My rebates need to be 20mm deep and about 25mm wide (rebating some scrap 4x2). I really dont want to buy a big 1/2" plunge router as it will likely not get used that much, so im...

Thanks for the response, I ended up with ITS diamond stones and a guide. Im not atall a pro when it comes to sharpening and should do it more often. Anyhow having never used a diamond stone or a guide before in my life I will see how i get on with them; hopefully the experience will propel me to...

Bought an "toolzone Ash Vac" the other day for my small workshop and well pleased with it so far. Its not to large (mines 15 litres), its bagless, easy to empty, and has good suction; ideal for sawdust, wood shavings and small offcuts from mitre saw ect.

Hi long time lurker here and I have a question if anyone can advise that would be great. Can anyone recommend me a diamond sharpening stone (or stones) and a honing guide. I have a few chisels, a No.5 stanley plane, and a block plane that I need to sharpen. I use the tools on occasion and have...

Long time lurker on this forum, these guys might be able to help. https://www.homeandworkshop.co.uk/

Eventually ended up buying a 750w wet tile cutter and its cutting like a knife through butter, well pleased. Angle grinders can be too noisy and dusty, it was either buy a 9" angle grinder or the tile cutter.

Been searching for tile cutters and perfect for the job (thanks for the mention Chrispy), in fact just one of ebay for £15 so im happy. Great stuff

I will look into that, good call

Hi all, anyone know of a stand, or any other device, in which i can put my 4.5" angle grinder in to make a radial arm (horizontal) saw, or a device that can be used to make a table saw. Im making alot of cuts on stone pavers (I realise this is a metal working forum but its similar) and need to...

Thanks I did not realise, yes a board in the vice is a good idea too.

Thanks, think ive tripped myself up on this, looks like only a select few grinders worldwide have inbuilt tool rests.

Thanks for the responses, the only issues with making one or buying one is that I dont want to cut a hole in my bench to mount it on, there are ways round that I know. Long story short a grinder with one already attached would be ideal. Im mostly gonna be sharpening mower blades, spade bits...

Thanks I will have a look, im not particularly looking for a high end grinder, just want one with a decent tool rest. Why they dont seem to sell em in Uk is beyond me. Looks like I will have to make some kind of attachment i guess.................

Hi, hope this is in the correct forum. Im looking for a bench grinder that has a decent adjustable tool rest, like the one found here http://www.craftsman.com/craftsman-util ... ockType=G4 It looks as though UK bench grinders all have flimsy tool rests (like the one on my current grinder) that...

Could be a faulty breaker, if the fan is on a separate circuit
