So, realistically, we’re talking 18mm sheet material, I guess.

That's a rubbish bench. Mine's way better. One day I'm gonna take a panorama photo of it, it's so big, and I'll stick it up on here LOL

I would have loved to have bought (not brought as some would say) the Kapex120, but the price was a 'price too far. Then there's the Festool Kapex88, to add to the mix, which hasn't had a mention on this thread. I've read the 120 and the 88 have the same depth of cut, 88mm, but there are other...

Don't bother with the light, mine got dusted up ages ago and I've not used it at all. I've got a Kapex60 and, just like someone above stated, I lower the blade tooth onto the stock to know precisely where the cut is going to be, then I cut. This is probably a few seconds slower than using the...

@John Brown Err, a bit off topic, but I was intrigued by your 'signature'. Is it from this Desmond Tutu quote? I guess so. Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring.

Oops, I forgot! And where's the best place to buy 6.5mm finished mdf plinth with a neoprene strip attached to the bottom edge? (The groove in the white clip is 7.5mm). I guess I could buy a sheet of the stuff and rip it down with the track saw and then buy the neoprene strip to glue on, but...

I'm slowly finishing the installation of my ex-display 'Alno' kitchen and I want your assistance. (For the record, Alno, a big German Kitchen company, closed down in 2017). I'm now fitting the ex-display plinth and have run up against a simple problem: the 6.5mm thick mdf plinth which came...

@Doug71 Thanks for that matey. I now have the solution thanks to you. Chris

Wow! I hadn't realise they offer bespoke doors, albeit with a long lead time - 5 months, you say. I have an understairs cupboard that needs a door to match their standard 'oak cottage pre-finished' doors. The stair cupboard opening is non-standard, ie, 780 x 1580mm, so I think I'll give them...

Dave, is this a play on words, or am I missing something here? A wrap around? Chris

My Festool block is for 6" discs, as I have the Rotex 150mm https://www.festool.co.uk/products/surface-preparation/hand-sanding-blocks-and-abrasives/495965---hsk-d-150-w#Overview Err, 150mm = 6" in my book. Other sizes are available.

@Mjward I've bought lots of doors from 'Todd Doors' - seriously good products and a wide range. My latest purchase for our refurb was 14 oak doors. No, they are not solid oak. Yes, they are heavy, with an excellent veneer and a solid core - no voids, and generously 'lipped' so they can be...

Festool - insane price, insanely good. The best Festool product I ever bought! :) https://ffx.co.uk/product/Get/Festool-Hsk-D-150-W-4014549108390-Hand-Sanding-Block

Err, it doesn't come over to me like that! Perhaps I'm just grumpy?

"They’ve been very expensive for a long time" - I see they've just emailed me about a BOGOF (buy one get one free) offer on clamps. But it seems they're saying Buy a clamp then get a cheaper clamp free when you do so. To my mind, BOGOF means, eg, buy a Rolls Royce and get a free Rolls Royce...

Up your budget and buy a second-hand Fluke, because you’re worth it. Think safety. I’ve not heard of Beha Amprobe, but a subsidiary of Fluke must be good?

Whoa, guys. Haven't you gone a bit off topic, now talking about obesity in the good ol' US of A. I thought this was about "Mortgage Rates/Interest etc", or is this the &cetera?

omg, I love this forum with all its seriousness and humour. You've got to laugh, else you'd cry. I once heard about a meritocracy as an alternative to a democracy. I wonder, has any country every tried such a goverment? Checking its definition on the web returned "Britain is a meritocracy...
