Fitz - that's both extremely helpful and mildly depressing at the same time. o_O What started out (in my mind) as a fairly simple operation is becoming more and more complex - and hideously expensive - as I look into the specifics. Not sure if you were joking or serious about the alternative...

Hello all. Sorry if this topic is a horribly common one... I have a detached, triple garage (roughly 8.5 x 6m) which I'm going to convert into a workshop. Currently it has bare, single thickness breezeblock walls with occasional pillars. Height slopes from 2.65 at the front, to 2.20 at the...

Their drill press is basically the same as the excellent Bosch - there was a post on YouTube about it recently. If I hadn't already got the Bosch, this would be one Scheppach tool I'd buy.

Thanks for the responses. Just to close this out. I'd love to buy a UK based product, but Record Power was too pricey once you add in VS, and the Axminster was a bit feature poor (although I have no doubt a quality product) unless you go for the bigger ones. A few people have recommended the...

Hi all, I appreciate that this is an area of questioning which is brought up with monotonous regularity, but... Which lathe should I buy? Some background: I've been experimenting with a lathe I made from an old drill press turned on its side - which worked surprisingly well and got me hooked...

I spent quite a lot of time looking around for good prices on the Bosch (we're talking the GCM12 GDL 240V, yes?) - surprisingly for a tool like this, the lowest price has consistently been Amazon. No, let me be more accurate - the "standard" price on Amazon is not great, but at regular intervals...

I've been wrestling with this question too. Would absolutely love a lathe, but my workshop is now pretty full, and my wallet pretty empty. The conclusion I've reached (although happy to hear views from people) is that - at least as a starting point - I'll make one! There are a gazillion YT vids...

I'm another who actually has one. I did hesitate because of the (green not blue) colour, but I've been delighted with it. So easy to adjust speed and height, and the depth gauge is really good. Like others, I would certainly buy it again. The only thing I'm not wild about is the wheel (instead...

Over your budget, but for what it's worth and future reference, I've got the Ryobi EMS254L. Retails for about £275. It's a 10"/254mm blade, fairly solid, and I've found it to be accurate enough (to the point where I've built it in to my workshop). It has a laser, but that's not particularly...

Thank you!

Those are all perfectly valid points - but completely irrelevant to what I'm asking!

Hi all, I'm amazed/frustrated at how difficult it is to get hold of some key dimensions for mitre saws. I'm particularly interested in the Bosch Glide, any Kapex, and the Makita LS1019L, but I dare say that other people might find this info helpful for different saws too. The specs I'm looking...
