This is what happened when I posted earlier so I don't really know what's happening? Again when I rang them this morning they said nothing to worry about, however when Ive been told this in the past I tend to worry! Phil

Hi SC, From the original link, however I rang them before just to see whether everything was o.k. and they confirmed it was. They said there had been some confusion with Draper and were definatley in stock, hence I have noticed that same link now shows again that it's in stock. Regards Phil

Starting to panic now! I received my order confirmation last night, however tried the link again and it looks as though it's now sold out, and even their e bay listing has gone and I think they had 8 in stock when I checked. Never had a dispatch notice yet so I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

Thanks for that Ian.

Well, shelved the Dewalt 745 and went for this! Now that others have confirmed delivery, and also the quality for the price I couldn't resist it, especially when the set up could cost around or over the £500+ mark. Just hope I don't live to regret it, especially with it's size, and hope you...

Hmm, I nearly half wish I hadn't seen this post as I was just about to buy the Dewalt 745! Could I ask what the difference is, apart from the size, as I only have a small garage workshop so it's the only thing putting me off the Draper slightly, however as many have said, for the...

Hi, Just about made my mind up on getting this, however before I pull the trigger would there be any other models worth considering around the same price bracket? Regards Phil

Thanks for the info lads. Regards Phil

Hi Guys, Just about to tackle this job but I'm looking for recommendations for the best paint to use? I'm after a matt sort of finish rather than gloss. Any recommendations? Cheers Phil

I also have this router, not had it long so haven't really tried it out yet, but appears to be decent quality especially for the price. I'm just debating whether to buy the plunge unit for it. Any Opinions? Regards Phil

Hi, Hi, Could I ask your opinions on the Lidl sander that's coming up for sale this Sunday. Do you think it would be and good for mid/heavy use? It's only a 125mm disc so I'm assuming it's not, however what I was also thinking that as you can stand it upright and clamp it to a bench...

Just took the plunge aswell (no pun intended) Thought for 30 quid delivered it's worth a go as I don't think I can justify the price of a more expensive one as I just dabble here and there so I don't think it well get used that often, could be useful tool though. Regards Phil

Hi, I'm after some advice on how to mark up some mitres on a picture frame deck. I'm not that skilled so I'm hoping it's quite simple. It's a normal 3 x 2 metre deck, however I have had to cut the frame around a few obstacles, a wall pillar and drain and it's now ready for the boards. How...

Thanks lads for the info, I was going to start today however Ive been rained off, however I think Ive already dropped a clanger before I start. I went and ordered kiln dried 4 x 2 for the frame and just found out it's mainly for internal use. Will this have any dramatic effect on the deck, ie...

Hi, Can anyone advise. I'm starting a deck for a friend tomorrow and initially thought it was just a normal rectangular one, however she now wants one corner on a 45 degree angle where it meets a path and I'm a little unsure how to do this. How should I make the frame? Would it be best just...

As usual lads, thanks for the info and advice. Regards Phil

Hi, I'm after some advice regarding a deck build. Ive took the challenge of building this deck for a friend of mine, it's roughly 3 x 3 metres and I'm not too sure how to tackle the base. There's currently a patio there at the moment consisting of a 3 foot concrete path off the house wall and...

Hi, I'm sure a few members already own one of these, however I'm after some advice regarding the inlet/outlets. es? Basically the sizes, and finding some sort of PVC fittings and pipe to suit as I'm thinking of trying to make some sort of cart for it. Tried to with some normal 2 inch rainwater...

Thanks for the info Steve, appreciated.

Hi, I have a room to put some dado up and was wondering how best to cut the mitres to avoid splintering and achieving a nice clean cut and no tear out. I have a sliding mitre saw and a reasonably fine blade. Would it be best to lie the dado flat on the bed of the saw or stand it upright...
