    Does anyone else dislike routers?

    I have a Makita one and still dislike the tool as a whole. I’m not saying it’s not good or not well made I just find them horrible to use. 1/4” hand held routers are better and I like spindle moulders. I can also see the argument for stair string housing as they are invaluable for that.

    Career as a Carpenter

    Unfortunately in CSCS world you need NVQ’s. Also most employers will also ask for an NVQ. A diploma is basically the bit you do at college and an NVQ is work based evidence plus knowledge questions. Hope that helps. You can get a training CSCS card but it only lasts 12 months if I remember...

    Yes. And it moves as I’m guessing it should. It’s not free as a bird but feels like it should feel to me

    Hi. Does anyone have one of the above? I took delivery of mine today. I can start the saw, planer, thicknesser but every time I try to start the spindle it trips the fuse in the plug. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a lock on it or something? Any advice would be appreciated. I have the...
