For info, 1st cashback payment from Festool hit my bank account today for Sander I registered on 16th July, so it took approximately 2 weeks to process.

How about a couple of butterfly wedges bridging across the split in a contrasting wood? This would both stabilise the split and add aesthetic value.

That would make sense as Festool are rumoured to outsource non core items to other quality manufacturers, eg their quick clamps bear a remarkable resemblance to the Bessey version. The only relevant difference I can see between the two tapes is that the BMI is metric only, while the Festool has...

There's not a lot of Festool kit you can get for a tenner however like all Festool kit it is extremely well thought out, designed, and engineered to work just as it should. The internal spring which retracts the tape keeps enough tension on the tape to eliminate any slack when taking a...

I just had a 3 meter Festool internal reading tape measure just delivered yesterday and I really like it. Very easy to read scales and accurate internal readings. Also has a useful compass function to mark out circles based on the internal measurement set. Just flip out the green bit (which...

My invoice was attached to the about to be shipped email also.

My Kapex KS60 has just arrived today. Original ETA was 7th August so well ahead of that as expected.

Last call ... voucher for 20% off FFX Ebay store purchases expires at 11:59pm tomorrow (Friday), so take advantage if you need to.

The sander that I ordered yesterday morning turned up today, despite being given an expected delivery date of 6th August when order was placed via the FFX Ebay shop. Take any initial delivery dates with a pinch of salt.

Hopefully it will be better than the inadequately named 'Performance Pro' (B&Q own brand) mitre saw I've made do with for the last 10 years ;-) Ah ... the luxury of a saw that will cut at 90 degrees when it should! I'll have to recondition myself to not compensating for off square cuts ;-)

Damn you Fezman ... I've now just gone and ordered a Kapex KS60 too!

Delivery may be quicker then you think. My Rotex Sander said it was coming in August ... it's been dispatched today!

It says in the small print of the battery offer that it cannot be combined with any other promotional campaign so the cashback and the battery can't be had together. The FFX discount can still be had with either however as it is independent of Festool as Ebay is picking up the cost of the...

... or any young criminals who want a knife and cannot buy one will surely manufacture their own weapon. After all they don't sell knives in prison but I imagine even the least innovative of prisoners could fashion a shiv out of whatever is to hand should they need to. The more discerning...

It's in really good nick and it looks like it's one of the war time batch as its got a really thick and heavy casting, the extra weight giving it a nice feel. In terms of clean up it'll be the usual sole flatten, fettle, sharpen blade, polish chipbreaker, and possibly strip and refinish the...

Picked up this Stanley 4 1/2 plane at last weeks local boot sale. Didn't even attempt to get the buyer down from his £5 asking price. The fitted Stanley blade is full length and looks almost new.
