    Festool HK55 worth it for a newbie Circular saw??

    Good blades have always been the thing to aim for. More teeth, better the cut finish. I'm not sure about the anti kickback on this Erbauer plunge saw yet... It's only over the past 3~4 years I've become aware of "plunge saws" or "tracksaws"... with acquainting myself with woodworking videos...

    Festool HK55 worth it for a newbie Circular saw??

    Yes... all that was covered in the replies I got when I made my post for 'guidance/assistance' to help me in the direction I took - if I did buy one or the other 🙂. The R185CCSX wouldn't do for "fine" woodworking. Being 'multipurpose' saw blade did have some appeal. The Erbauer has shown to be...

    Festool HK55 worth it for a newbie Circular saw??

    🤔... you seem to have made some assumptions about 'me' and the *suggestion* I put forward to the OP... At 72, 73 next month, I don't have the £300~£400 + to spend on a tool *I* will not be using in a business - but in a Hobby/DIYer use. Also... if just starting with a *power* tool - as I...

    Festool HK55 worth it for a newbie Circular saw??

    Some time last year I posted for others advice for getting the Evolution circular saw with track bundle - because of price - OR a plunge saw... I was going to have to cur down a number of ply sheets. Received plenty of advice and went back to re-watch those YouTube videos from @petermillard ...

    Thicknesser

    I've the Triton tpt125 and have little trouble with it. Get a bit of snipe but seems only if I allow the length of wood to lift up/be pushed down on entering the front roller. There are ways to eliminate as shown in some YouTube videos. My only regret is that (as far as I'm aware) you have to...

    Unwanted emails

    You may well be seeing their email address as the sender. However what you're seeing isn't. If your on your computer and put the cursor to view the 'details' you'll most likely see a load of gobbledegook characters. If on a tablet or phone and do the same you'll see the same. If you use (try for...

    Good to see a recommendation for another capable email client that does as you state... As does and can MailWasher Pro. Also on multiple computers along with a mobile version - which ive yet to give a try. I'd guess there are also others that do likewise these days - they all pretty much follow...

    Daylight saving time?

    I used to work 12 hour shifts, rotating 4 days on 4 off - working day AND night shifts. Some shifts became 13 hours... some 11 because of the time change. Never been able to accept the reason for the change and can not see why the hour can't be split to 30 minutes and kept that way. There are...
