Sold my DX93 when I bought my Rotex 90 and really regret it; cracking little sander [THUMBS UP SIGN]

I tend to use 18mm front & back, 12mm sides and 6mm base, all Birch ply for drawers - but then I'm usually doing through dominos; with pocket-hole screws I'd be inclined to agree with 18mm all round, 6mm base. If you can live with the 'look' then exposed dowels can work well; cheaper than...

Ah, OK, got it. And thanks! [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

I'd take 300sq ft on my doorstep over 1000sq 30 miles away, personally. And not to be flippant, but it sounds like you're 'just about' managing with 200sq ft at the moment?? We'd all like more space than we have I'm sure, but we have to cut our clothes to match the cloth (must be a woodworking...

[THUMBS UP SIGN]Impressive aren't they? No regrets here, every day in the workshop is a pleasure...

By whom? Not by anybody who works extensively with MDF, we tend to use MDF screws - Spax M-cut are very good, though regular Spax also do well. There's all kinds of screws for all kinds of uses. Nothing wrong with drywall screws - for drywall (preferably collated). P

Yep - my time's more valuable than any box of screws - plus decent screws also much nicer to work with. [THUMBS UP SIGN]

Laziness. Or convenience i.e. it's what was to hand. Drywall screws are generally coarse-threaded and as others have said, brittle, so best kept for drywall. I like Spax, Reisser occasionally, and Spax M-cut for MDF cabinets. Always MR MDF, it's a much better board for not much more money. I...

Just to be clear, I was specifically using the Mirka 22mm hose so it would fit into the 'hose garage' on top of the CTL Sys. The actual tool & vac. connectors were Festool. Re. the Mirka hose linked to above, it states that the hose is conical, so 27mm at the tool end, but no indication what...

In my experience most plunge saws will work on Festool (ergo Makita, Titan, Triton) rails. Accessories are a different matter. I've read that the Parkside (Lidl) saw also fits Festool tracks - anyone confirm? Mafell and Bosh saws & rails are interchangeable AFAIK The DeWalt rails are strictly...

I have the Ryobi One+ 16g nailer and the narrow crown stapler. Nailer's OK, stapler's really nice. 18g is best option for your intended use [THUMBS UP SIGN]

I generally use Bosch jigsaw blades, they work well. But tbh, for a straight cut in sheet material a, cheap tracksaw would be a much better option, IMHO. HTH P

I've been using glassesdirect for years, without any problems at all. Full-time specs wearer for 40 years (astigmatism) and now need varifocals. Had my eyes tested a Boots opticians last time, and while I was there I priced up a couple of pairs of specs - they weren't really what I wanted, but...

They don't come with a diffuser, no - I'm making them as I want to combine the two panels into a single 'luminaire', but the light from them is pretty diffuse. It is a lot of light, yes - I've been struggling a little with the previous setup for the video work, and want more light to give me...

I wish! Always used to be the BGP was the largest number of helicopter movements on any given day, not so sure now.

This is the panel:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400921892859 And in situ:- Unfinished - before the diffusers are on. HTH P

Can't help with the battens, but I've just put 600x600 LED panels in my workshop fitted 2-up (so 600 x 1200) into simple wooden frames. Each panel was ~£20, outputs 4000 Lumens and consumes 48w. Cool White 6000k, and *so* much better than florries. Recommended.

As an F1 fan and somebody who lives and works in London, I'm all for a London F1 street circuit. To be fair it's something that's been proposed for decades - a 'motoring magazine' (remember them??) actually drove a single-seater around their 'fantasy' circuit back in the late 60s - and it...

Bear in mind those rails only have a single 'rib' i.e. no slotted rib/t-track so no chance of using any accessories like rail stops or parallel guides, or any home-made jigs that reference off that second rib. Would render them significantly less useful - and is at least one reason why you might...
