I purchased High Freq. enclosed fluorescent fittings from Screwfix and needed a source for daylight tubes as well. I did all the usual searchs on the web (Lycos etc), but decided to check one of my local "chain type" electrical wholesale/trade branches. I got 3 of the Osram tubes for £3.20 or...

Without appearing rude, are you absolutely sure its a genuine Makita? I was offered a cordless drill about two years ago, colour was similar to yours (admittedly photos can be deceptive). It was only when I did not recognise the model that alarm bells started to ring. I had a short...

After much research on this forum, I decided to order a SCMS for my workshop (this site is really great for this, maybe starting to prefer it to trawling thro the magazines, but I digress). Anyway, Transtools had the one I wanted at the best price and in stock. Ordered it on line there and...

Just bought one of these a few days ago. Mine did not have any of the quality issues identified on one of the links. Superb value for money, tools have never been so sharp and now have more time to spend making rather than maintaining. I am sure that there are many other very good ways of...

I bought this when it first came out, (£259 inc delivery) as a special offer. I think mine is serial number 36. I have to say that I have not really used it much to date, but as far as build quality is concerned it is excellent. Another good point is that that in size, it it between the...

Really appreciate all the views and comments. I purchased the Floor standing motiser and seperate Drill press from Axminster with my 25 year service award (better than a carriage clock) and added a second hand Coronet No 3 lathe do do some simple spindle turning. Drill press was good value for...

Now looking to plan and equip my main workshop, having now just about completed my smaller one with Lathe/Drill Press mortiser. I know that there are a lot of people out there with a lot more experience that me, so here is the question. Spend the budget on cheaper and smaller Table...

I hope you get some replies to this as I have also looked at this combo, it's an amazing price for whats on offer. Realise that it will be built to a price, but most Fox equipment I have looked at is well made.

I was concerned about the possibility of the strobe effect whilst completing the build of my small workshop recently, so I fitted the fully enclosed and dustproof Screwfix High Frequency ones (code 78671) at £37 per fitting plus the cost of a daylight tube at £2.50 from a local electrical...

Thanks for all the advice, I am going to leave the bench the way it is and give it a try. All I need to do now is buy some turning tool, safety gear and read a few books before I have a go at turning. Great forums here, full of good advice and a lot of knowledge. Glad I joined. Thanks...

I am new to turning (and this forum) and have added a secondhand lathe (Record Coronet No 3) to my list of equipment. I plan to mainly make legs/spindles for my cabinetmaking. I will be locating this in my recently built shed where I have already built a bench using 4 x 2 and 18mm plywood...
