One of the main reasons I chose to spray the internal wall was it was textured ( I live in France in the country where it is a popular wall finish:() Spraying gave a better finish than brush or roller with less waste or excess covering.

Yes clean up is a PITA and absolutely necessary if you don't clean properly after use then you have problems next time. My routine learned from a professional is wipe as much residual paint out of the pot as you can, rinse the pot with dirty solvent till it's nearly clean then fill with clean...

I used the Q5 which is why I said it isn't cheap but the results are excellent, I have sprayed in the past with conventional spray kit in my Ex brother in laws motor car repair facility spray booth so I can judge the results. The main hose is heavy and large but connects to a very light hose 3M...

I use the Fuji kit from Axminster, it wasn't cheap but has given perfect finish with paint and lacquer on cabinets and also water based emulsion on walls for which I bought and used the 2 L remote paint pot to save continually refilling the spray gun pot. In terms of painting walls and ceilings...

I now buy almost exclusively from within the EU because delivery times and charges are so variable. It tends to be a little more expensive and I need to shop around but I have got used to it. The only exception is router bits as it is virtually impossible to get half inch or quarter inch bits in...

I bought the UKJ (Axminster one) as a full kit it works perfectly.

I recently had to reduce some 35mm thick rough sawn boards of beech down to 21mm for the frames of doors for some fitted wardrobes. Despite having a table saw I quickly went to my Festool track saw fitted with a ripping blade. Once the boards were cut with a good clean straight edge and I...

I have a DeWalt table saw it's OK but I hardly ever use it my track saw is better.

Don't buy sets buy individual cutters as and when you require them. That way you can buy individual better quality bits that will last.

Well as a very satisfied customer living in France I am surprised at a lot of the comments. Over the years I have ordered things as big as a bandsaw and as small as a router bit and they have been delivered within a week sometimes 3 days including day of order. I have from memory had problems...

As I answered a post before yours specifically about chamfering the holes and not about laying out or starting in the middle or elsewhere I don't think I did.

Bearing guided 45° cutter in a small hand held router works perfectly.

That is the shitiest welding I have ever seen.

Living in France and using Axminster amongst other UK suppliers this Brexshit fiasco is going to present some problems in the future, reclaiming UK tax, paying import duty and tax delays etc. I can see that when things at least settle down hopefully by summer I will be visiting friends but using...

Has anyone installed a Triton router in a UKJ universal plate, it doesn't look like the base of the router will suit the UKJ fixing lugs.

Has anyone mounted the Triton router in a UKJ universal plate? The last time I enquired the base of the router was to big to fix with the 4 lugs of the UKJ plate, is there a workaround without butchering either to get them to fit together.

Work over the lockdowns has been two fitted sets of wardrobes and a chest of drawers. The wardrobes were complicated by only being able to source 37mm by 3M by 50cm live edge rough sawn beech for the doors which were 21mm thick when finished. And my wife deciding it would be nice if the frames...

I built a table, fence and base off Chris Tribes model and put in a 10mm Axminster aluminium plate with the universal adapter. I still had to drill the plate to accept the key to enable me to wind the bit up and down. Works very well and if it's good enough for Chris it's certainly good enough...

You are not going to get a chainsaw that functions effectively for £50 or anything near it. It will continually give problems. As for sharpening it's easy, but was the chain lubrication working effectively, heat is the biggest killer. You need to check the chain tension regularly whilst cutting...

In my move to France the thin 23mm open ended spanner has gone missing anyone know where I can buy one short of buying a set off e bay I just need a cheap pressed steel one to fit the bush between blade and the arbour nut, it needs to be about 2mm thick. I have tried the manufacturer but no...
