    Adding a table saw to my track saw setup; DeWalt?

    Hello all Have a track saw that is serving me well for most operations except cuts on narrow stock. Space ruled out me getting a larger table saw but now considering something relatively small like the DeWalt offering. Is the Dewalt the best available for a 600 quid budget? Thanks

    Festool CTL Mini Cleantec - is the M versio a better choice?

    Hey all Need to get a dust extractor, mainlyfor my track saw. Cut mdf and plywood mostly. Looks like the festool range is hard to beat and the CTL Mini looks reasonably priced. Should I be going for the M class version given that I cut MDF? Will also be using it for routing. Cheers

    Problem with UJK Parf guide system

    Thanks. That describes my problem precisely. It's a disgrace. Time is precious, and I spent a full day repeating the steps each time at a slower and slower Pace with utmost care and attention. End result is a wasted day, and a wasted 18mm medite sheet. Now the waiting game to see if I can get...
