If you use a large baseplate on the router into which you drill a hole for a centre pin at the correct diameter you can then rotate around that, hand held, without any issues at all. Personally I don't like bearing guided cutters and templates, so would not use the table. I'd rather cut the...

The DeWalt is bigger - its 12", whereas the Scheppach only thicknesses about 10" I think. I actually had the DeWalt first and for some time managed just with that and some hand planing and judicious board turning. When I got the Scheppach i had intended to sell the DeWalt, but find it better...

None taken :lol:

Its a workshop, not a theme pub :lol:

Kity is on her way down south with Pete and my new saw is not coming until w/c 1st March :cry: I think I'll survive until then, I suppose I could fix the floor while I'm waiting... Ed

I'd use aluminium, thickness to match the blade kerf, which is likely to be around 3mm or so. Ed

Anyone who deals with paints in an industrial context will refer to RAL, as this is the industry standard referencing system. Talking in Pantone colours just makes you look like you don't know what you're on about. Ed

A set of kitchen utensils?

I didn't say I was going to do it - I don't think it would suit me either! I just like the idea of it - an artisans studio. Ed

Very nice. I quite like the idea of the workshop having some space for non-production activities like designing and thinking. Ed

That's really quite gratifying to know - thanks Tony :D Ed

Drawing some little X's in the waste has always been enough to remind me. Ed

I've handcut quite a few, large and small, and I reckon it takes some beating for both speed and accuracy. Ed

It is, but at the risk of repeating arguments already held in this thread, quality tools (new or old) can give quicker access to success in my opinion. Ed

I think you're fine, as I recall the dust will look lighter. Ed

Thats how I've done it in the past. The alternative is a very deep skirting that you scribe to the stair, but thats not easily achievable. Ed

Very good. I've used decking to solve similar levels issues at a few houses. It gives a very child friendly surface I reckon. Ed
