The table insert is predrilled for Trend routers, but can easily be drilled for any router. However, having above the table adjustment is something you wouldn't be without once you have used it. Save up for the T11. It makes for a powerful and very, very useable table. A couple of roller stands...

This mine - slightly over your budget, but a nice solid little table. With a Trend T11 you get above the table height adjustment, again which is well worth it. And a T11 will cope with whatever you throw at it, including a 86mm panel raiser cutter. https://www.toolstop.co.uk/index.php?op ...

I've just made some french doors - still a bit of finishing to do. 56mm thick accoya. For 24mm DGU fixed with a dry glazing system and internally beaded.

Seconded. I didn't get an allergic reaction, but do use a good face mask when machining.

No way would I remove the riving knife, but removing the guard for slotting is OK. For example the Bosch table saw I have has an easily adjustable riving knife as part of the design to raise/lower it depending on whether the guard is to be fitted, or whether the knife has to be no higher than...

I much prefer using my bandsaw than table saw (Record 350 and Bosch GTS10J). Many jobs are interchangeable, but some are not. You cant rip an 8x2 board into two 8x1 boards on a table saw, and neither can you take a large rebate out of your stock on a band saw. Large rebates are what I use my...

Pair of french doors in Accoya. - not quite finished - planted rebate still to fit,

This one https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb579 ... 230v/15774 As a planer it's pretty c**p, but I extended the thicknesser bed by bolting in a length of 18mm ply, removed the stupid plastic chip deflector and disabled the safety interlock (!!!), then made a plywood guard so the chips could...

I guess, even though its modified, it's still timber and you get occasional flaws. I've literally just finished a pair of french doors, so we'll see how we go as the timber sections are obviously much larger that windows. Using it for the first time for a house full of sash windows, I've had to...

Well, the accoya I got from lathams was shake free, and the sash windows I have made with quite tight tolerances haven't moved a fraction in over a year winter/summer, and as many of the top manufacturers of sash windows use accoya, I think it's good enough. I have found it really nice to work...

If you are making windows from scratch, why not use accoya. Totally stable and resistant to moisture and insects. I've just made a houseful of sash windows and french doors. Buy it rough sawn from e.g. lathams - even rough sawn is nice and straight, and it doesn't take much finishing. Machines...

Do get a good accountant. They will save you more than they cost. I suggest a small firm of chartered accountants not a one man band. I've had the same firm for 36 years

The most powerful saw on the screwfix website is 2150W, so well within the running current of a 13A socket. As most UK sockets are wired to a 20A or 32A MCB chances are your start current won't knock the breaker out - try it and see. My 305mm 2400W evolution disk cutter works fine off a 13A...

Seeing as how this is a woodworking forum and we aren't looking for thou accuracy, I've been using the digital caliper you can get from Amazon for £15-£16 and found it perfectly accurate - certainly for what I use it for, and at that price it can knock about the work bench.

I'm in the final stage of making 7 sash windows for a house project from Accoya and using a Domino 700 for the sash joints - I didn't fancy cutting 56 haunched tenons. The first 3 have been installed since end of last summer and have stayed rock-stable. The Domino is what it is - expensive...

That table is also sold under the Leman brand and they supply metric router bits http://www.leman-sa.fr/en/149-router-bits You can also find them on e.g. amazon.de and ebay.de shipping shouldn't be so bad on router cutters.

FWIW, I am a marketing guy first and a woodworker second. I've recently been making sash windows for a house refurb project after looking around the market and finding a) they are expensive to buy if you want decent quality and b) they have to be made to fit, and if my house is anything to go...

Unless you know where every service is fastening anything to the chip risks hitting something. You don't have to replace the joists. Chip is fairly cheap. Rip it up and sister the joists with 2x3 fastened to the joists with coach screw and bolts. Lay new chip floor gluing and screwing to avoid...

I've been using it for some DIY sash windows. I've been converting rough sawn accoya to the sizes and profiles I need. Totally knot free it machines nicely, but is quite brittle so careful control of spelching is needed. Also, you can't use PVA glue - has to be PU which is a bit messier. It's...

I've been using one of these master slave plugs to turn my 1.1kW vac on and off with the power tool for yonks. No issues. https://tinyurl.com/yc3colp6
