Hello, I am looking at buying new bench pillar drill mainly to be used for woodworking and occasional light metal and other material use. I have some Axminster vouchers which will go a long way towards this purchase. My questions is really, how good (or bad) is the Axminster Trade AT325PD...

Hello, I also have the Makita 2012NB. The build quality of this machine is excellent and the results are superb. I have not had any issues with it and although I looked at other models (Dewalt, Metabo etc), I do not regret buying the Makita at all and would give it 10 out of 10 for performance...

Hello every one, I originally had the same dilemma and although I am sure their are very good combination planner thicknesser tools around I was put of but all the messing around required to convert from one to the other. Although that does not take long (Quick easy for the Metabo), I like the...

Hi everyone, Thanks for your replies. This particular bit does not have a mark like most. But I always ensure that that its slightly raised after inserting it fully, so it does not bottom out in the collet. I will give Triton a call this morning. I hope this is not the beginning of lots of...

Hello Everyone, I purchased a Triton TRA001 router about 18 months ago but never used it until this week (Due to time and building a table for it) It is fitted to a router table but for some reason the 'chuck assembly' as Triton call it comes loose and hence the router bit then comes loose...
