I did spot the Axminster but at 300.00 + it is considerable more expensive John

Hi Woodpecker - Jessum I am thinking of making a router table using one of these lifts, can you suggest which on would be best base don your experiences . They are both priced at just over £200.00 at Rutlands John

Yes I agree for the long term I think a cheap router in a permanent base is the answer.

Yes your right, I just needed a second opinion (;-) I am already re thinking how to perform the task I need to do without using a table. J

Hi Do you know of any problems fitting the Festool EBQ1010 to a Triton router table, I can only get three clamps on the base of the router. Do you thinf it will be Ok ?

I'll try them out in my hand drill tomorrow, seems a pity I have £150.00 quids worth of hi tech machinery and I have to resort to a hand drill. However if it does the job I'll be happy. I had the same problem with a forstner bit, do you think that is not the right tool for 1 3/4 material? J

Hi Opj Yes these are the drills, I did take the advice of the shop I bought them from who said they could be used in a pillar drill. They are long established chandlers with traditional values so I trusted their opinion. John

The drill speed chart is fantastic, many thanks What category would you put the Irwin boring bits in ? Or does that fact that they are not listed suggest they are not appropriate ? John

Hi Thanks, the FOX wasn't that expensive but the spec was higher than your entry level drill. Its a 500w motor with 3/4 HP which I was hoping would be more than enough for my needs. Maybe I was wrong ?

Drum sanders are even more expensive for what they are. I bought a draper bobbin sander and I am quite please with it - the street price is about £200.00 - £219.00 If you look around all these sanders look alike and cost about the same, I wend with Draper as it was a well known brand name...

Hi I have a Fox Drill press model 911 and I just bought some Irwin Blue groove wood drill bits which I am using to bore a 25mm hole in 1 1/4 beech. The drill bit locks up very easily, I can only assume the belt drive is slipping when it locks . I have to apply pressure very very gently, too...

That's what I have been looking for, many thanks. I'll add it to my list of options John

I can see it woudk do half of what I want, this round two corners - I need to round all four corners - there would be nothing to guide the bearing on 3 and 4 - is that correct? John

I was looking at roundover bits but having not used one I was unsure as to what size to order or how to set it up on the table.

Hi I have a piece of PAR 1 1/4 * 3/8 Ash 20" long which I want to put a radius on all four edges so it rounded. Any suggestion in how I may do this would be appreciated - I have been looking at router bits but not sure if it will do what I want or can justify the one off cost of a bit. Thanks

Yes your right it does has a taper chuck. I'll take a look thanks John

Wd 40 sounds like a good idea, I will give it a try . thanks

Hi I just bought my first pillar drill ITS a Fox F11 911 , it has a 16mm key less engineering chuck which I am finding out can be a right pain to fit a drill and tighten up at the same time, its a three handed job, Do you know of any quick change adapter I could add to the chuck and the...

The Scheppach has grabbed my attention, a bigger saw with cast table is attractive but I think it will be OTT for what I need it for. So ist back to the Boch, Makita or the Scheppach. J
