Welcome to the forum Markus, I think your English will be a lot better than most of us on here speak German! Cheers Pete

Another vote for wealden, excellent advice from the chaps there too if you describe what you are trying to achieve

Hi Brian I’m not sure ok your first question but I can have a look at the manual for mine later to see if I can find anything on the bearing size. Remind me if I don’t come back to you!!

Hi Dan I had the Bosch saw you mentioned and for the money it was ok. I since sold that and bought a big second hand dewalt (778xps I think it is). So much better. Would you consider second hand? Youll likely get a 10 or 12 inch saw for the same money you’d spend on the new Bosch.

Hi steve it would help a little if you set your depth of cut so that the blade just protrudes the depth of the material. As others have said masking tape will also help a little.

Do you think he’s missed a 0 off the end?? 😂

I actually got the Chuck replaced on my makita cordless drill a couple of years ago under warranty. Think it’s the same model as yours. They either were feeling generous at the time or they’ve changed the exceptions since then. That’s the only problem I’ve ever had with a makita tool so my...

Evening everyone Has anyone ever (planned or by chance/accident!) cut through a brad nail with their circular saw/mitre saw. I’m hoping I’ll be able to cut through them with a wood blade but just wondering if I’m risking ruining my blade or whether it should be ok. Problem is I’ve made up some...

Hi both, thanks for the replies. Yes we have some pretty big housing associations, I’ll look into that, thanks baldkev 👍. Also good idea to drop into places in person, if I were looking to hire someone I’d be quite impressed if someone was keen enough to turn up on the doorstep unannounced!

Thanks for all of the replies everyone, turns out there is more than one way to skin a cat! Cheers Pete

An absolute bargain for someone! Regularly see tattier ones sell for a lot more!

Brilliant thanks Adam. I’ll have a practice of that in the garage later.

Hi everyone So for a while I’ve been doing odd joinery jobs for people and messing around in my garage when I get time. All feedback of jobs completed so far has been really good and I’m thinking of dropping my days at work to keep some steady income coming in for 2/3 days a week and allow me...
