A gift from an elder. But what is it?

If I could only have one...... The 500

Cordless routers, whatever next?! Cordless chop saws?? Now that does sound fancy!

:ROFLMAO: I do worse than that - I spend 30 minutes looking for the correct router bit first! I still enjoy the process of marking with a marking gauge, but you're right - Need to streamline more so bearing guided jigs are deffo the way forward. We always use the same size hinges for casements...

Hello! I’m going to purchase a dedicated router for cutting out hinge slots in doors, casements and on frames. Wondering what most people use. I currently use my festool OF1400. I currently like the balance of a larger router and also realise that it needs to have a big clearance hole in...

Pocket watches are quirky. Monacles are quirky. Belt buckles are quirky CUTTER BLOCKS SHOULD NOT BE QUIRKY 😂

Fine - A lesson for the new apprentice coming up then...templates and routering Cn;t wait for him to smash out the wrong end - Better order some filler in

Its only scary because I can never be bothered to grind the limiters and I just go for it with an unbalanced block :ROFLMAO:!

No bandsaw :cry:

Farmers are usually the best bet.

Once whilst trying to remove big black T hinge from an old door, I laid the door on trestles, removed the screws until I was left with just the bolt that goes through the entire door. Took a drill and ratchet drive, full power reverse and yes you guessed it..... The entire hinge spun round and...

Oh I’ve just thought of mine. When making window frames used to run a mortar groove round the outside of the frame like ye olde days. This required dropping timber into the cutter block one end, and stopping before the end and dropping back out. One time dropping in, the block just snatched the...

Couldn’t agree more it’s such a rarity to find a tradesman where is not only good at their job, but well presented, punctual, polite and considerate for the service they are supplying. All part of the problem why being a tradesman is not a profession. Anyone who fancies a go can do it!

Sorted. One of the phase wires was loose and arching in a fuse box. Nice burnt cable and melty plastic. Sorted now thanks everyone! Louis

I think it’s deffo my abuse of the isolator switches. Found some lose connections already. Shall report back

Hhhhmm the fact that I’ve been using the isolator to switch it on and off could have easily knocked a connection off. Shall investigate

I have a 3 phase JET double extractor in need of help (possibly the bin) On firing her up, instead of the instant and positively aggressive startup to let you know she’s ready to rumble, there’s now a slow and gradual startup and seems like it’s only running at around 70% - 80%. Happens...
