Sorry i know this is not woodwork related. Can anyone recommend a drill bit set for porcelain tiles? Thanks Mark

I’m actually in Rossendale, Lancashire Thanks Mark

Oh dear i never even noticed the spelling mistake on Lancashire lol and i thought i had an eye for detail .

Thanks Sean, great to hear from other people in the same boat as me. Thanks for taking the time to reply, i have a clearer idea of what i want and need to do now. Thanks to everyone who replied and for not ripping me to pieces lol

I purchased a Presto 25pc HSS set a few months ago and they have been great.

Hi, thanks again for all of the comments it is really appreciated that you have taken the time to reply. After reading all of the comments i am going to carry on with the course and complete it, there are some good tutors who have been in the industry a long time and i actually enjoy being...

I think I’m just a bit gutted that the course I’m doing is not really recognised or that’s what I’m told. thanks Mark

Thank you for taking the time to reply, it is very much appreciated. In my mind i was thinking i can do some work on my own and then if things dry up i could then look at some site work to keep me going. I love working with wood and have already completed a level 2 furniture making course but...

Not sure if anyone can give me any tips or guidance and apologies if it is not relevant to this forum. I am currently studying a City and Guilds level 2 Site Carpentry Diploma. I am 47, wanted a career change and was really drawn to it. Now i am starting to move through the course i decided to...

I am only cutting small plugs and have found a Veritas set and a tapered countersink drill set from Axminster, thanks again.

Hi, i am looking around for a decent wood plug set, i also need a decent countersink drill set and want to cover 6mm, 8mm, 10mm holes. I have seen the veritas wood cutters but the only countersink drill bits i can see are trend. Anyone know of a decent kit that won't cost the earth? Cheers Mark

thanks, i did have a look previously but could not find anything. Maybe i need to try harder lol. Thanks Mark

Hi I am looking for a hose connector to go from my router table (57mm internal diameter) to a 36mm festool hose, does anyone know of anything that will fit? i have searched around and cant find anything. Cheers Mark

Well im working from a garage at home (which i did say) so fitting 200 sheets in might be a problem. The issue i have is basically costing, it doesn't matter if its 2, 20, 200 when i cost how much it is to make i have to take my time into account so making quick repeat cuts will enable me to do...

I think you might have missed my point, i will only break up sheets to get them into more manageable pieces or i might ask them to do this at the wood yard, I then want to be able to make repeat cuts fairly quick. i am just finding the track saw a very slow process to do this.

Sorry to repeat myself, I know i have posted a similar question before but im still struggling with this. Basically I want to make boxes for storage and various other uses, records etc, small furniture items like tables, ottoman or tv stands. The maximum thickness of material will probably...

Thanks for all of your replies, very helpful as usual. So i have a Parf Sytem mk2 that i purchased some time ago but never used. I took off my worktop (mdf), this is being replaced and used the parf system on it to see how difficult it is and will use this to see how it works for me and if i...

Would you just use cheap ply or a lower grade of birch ply? I was also considering mrmdf both 18mm.

Thank you for all of the helpful replies. If you were making your own, what material would you use and would you coat it with anything? Basically what i am now thinking of doing is replacing my workbench top and have the mft part that is removable and stores away, i then have a piece that fits...

Perfect, thanks very much
