Hi, could anyone recommend a router that isn't too heavy for light (ish) work, also that isn't too expensive. Ive got a Dewalt 625 but its getting a pain taking it out the router table all the time so I'd like to leave it there. It's also pretty heavy aswell for hand use. Any suggestions...

Actually that will proboly work, thanks for the info. Phil

Its for a radiator cabinet, hard to explain but Ive got to put a 45 degree angle on it the avoid a fitted wardrobe door hitting the corner. I know I could do it on a tablesaw however I thought I would get a cleaner face if it was done by a router.

Hi, can anyone advise? Is it possible to rout the edge of either ply or MDF board on a 45 degree angle using a router table with some sort of jig or is it just a no no? Thanks

Thanks for the tip Wizer, Ive got PVA so youve saved me a few quid. Phil

Hi, could anyone recommend a decent glue thats good for edge to edge jointing in MDF. Thanks

Hi Karl, Ive got the Triton ROS from B&Q for £27.00, and for that price think its a really good buy. Comes in a nice box aswell. The only problem you might have is laying your hands on one. I think Ive seen them floatong around on e-bay from time to time. Phil

Hi, could anyone give me some advice. I want to make some lenths of MDF, 24 inches long by 4 inches wide. Ive got a tablesaw, its quite accurate but the finish on the edges are sometimes a bit rough, probobly the blade, so I was thinking of squaring up and cleaning the edges on the router...

Thanks very much for the info lads. I might have alook at the Skilsaw now!

Hi, I'm in a bit of a dilema but not sure which circular saw to get. I was going to purchase a Dewalt in B&Q the other day however I'm now thinking about one of those Rage Evolution saws. Is the Evolution any good at sheet materials and does it leave a good cut? Any opinions? Thanks

Hi Joints Ive just ordered the fox 13 inch one off e-bay for £169, should have a canny kick as its an 1800 watt motor and they have plenty left in stock. Its around the £300 everywhere else so its definatley worth a look. Phil

The company is called Truss Lofts

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a loft conversion done by this company, they are a national company based in Ripon. Has anyone had their loft done by them and can recommend them?. Any info would be really appreciated. Thanks

Hi, does anyone own this machine?. There are some for £169 on E-Bay. Does anyone have any opinions on how good they are, or not as the case may be, as I'm hovering on whether to buy. Hate these dilemas, as I was thinking of getting a small combi machine. Thanks

Again the height for working inside a standard sized house it's fine, you would be surprised, and would also have 2 hands free to work where as you might have one hand holding the ladder to steady yourself when working off it. You could put the boards on the top rail that would give you more...

Hi, sorry, hope this is not too misleading as it's not a "tool" as such, however it may invaluable so some of you especially if you work in the trade as such, but would suit anyone. Ive had delivered today the most fantastic little scaffold tower, well not exactly a tower but it will easily...

Could anyone give my any advice on these. Are they easy to fit?, I take it theres some sort of rail or track fitted to the top of the frame for some sort of wheel system sitting in this, and the outer door is hinged to the side of the frame? I have a 2 standard door through lounge diner...

Hi Nathan, I actually bought the 6mm jobber last year when they had it on offer for £19.95, actually not sure, I think the offer might still be on, however I class myself as the "average DIY 'er and think its a great little tool, very accurate. I tried it with some scrap offcuts to start off...

Hi Harold, from the picture you cannot see the unit, however the spray gun looks exactly the same as my Wagner which I got from B&Q a few years ago and paid 76 quid. If the unit that powers it is as good I think its a steal for that amount of cash. It gives really good coverage and can achieve...

Just came back from B&Q with a Triton orbital sander for £27 quid, bit of an impulse buy but I couldn't resist it. There was Triton bits and bobs, the circular saw was about £57 (I think)and some sort of biscuit jointer attatchment and a 4 inch disc grinder for £20, which I resisted Has...
