Thanks for the info guys. I will be using the extractor to suck from my table saw as well as a planer so there will be fine dust involved However I plan to have the extractor outside the workshop were this type of bag filter machine belongs. I don't have any concerns regarding workshop heating...

I am looking at several extractors of the chip type and was wondering what sort of airflow rates are required. I see fox do one with a flow rate of 2500 m/min. Do I need one this high or will 1000 be enough Mike

There is a simple solution to the dust problem and it is mentioned in Bills site. To achieve the best results the exhaust from any system should be routed outside the building. This is the best option for health but may not be for workshop heating. So this way you can use a high flow low...

Barry If the cyclone is knocking out most of the dust why dont you just pipe the extractor outlet outside and do away with the filters. Mike

I have used the Metabo with the fein extractor to sand drywall among other things and it is fantastic the dust extraction is superb. However it is heavy for prolonged use in a vertical or over head situation. Mike

I noticed in the latest screwfix flyer that they have some dewalt random orbit sanders going for £80. This is as far as I can tell the Metabo 450 but in dewalt colours. Only problem is it's 110 volt. Mike

Dave Go for the Metabo sds. I live in a granite house and the sds is the only drill that will cope with the drilling the granite. I have two metabo drills one sds and one normal and would highly recomend them. I think they are one of the best I have seen on the market. Check out power tools...

I have decided to make a mobile base for the sip 10" cabinet saw I have on order but to have it ready before the saw arrives I need to know the size of the saws footprint. Can please anybody help me with these dimensions. Mike

I have ordered a new sip saw and will require a mobile base for it. Has anybody got any recommendations. My floor is concrete but not the best finish in the world. Mike

Thanks for the replys. I take you are all pleased with the sip saw ? Mike

I have been looking at the sip table saw and I have noticed that the blade bore size is 1" yet all the blades I have seen are either 16 or 30 mm. Is this correct and if so what is the availability of 1" bore blades to fit this saw. Mike

I can recommend the ace + k nailers as I have a 16 gauge angled and a straight 18 gauge. I also have a Dakota framing gun which I got from rutlands which is also very good. My compressor is a large fixed unit which lives in the garage but a couple of friends have the compressors from rutlands...

Tim I run an Isuzu trooper commercial which has two seats and and hence is basically a van. I have roof bars on it permanently for taking home timber and have even had 8x4 sheets on the roof. I have tried the pickups before but find they have a very hard ride due to there load capacity. I also...

The plastic pipe I have used before was grey and suitable for hot and cold. You get stainless steel inserts that let you use the pipe with conventional brass compression fittings or you can use the push in oring type of fittings. I have used it to good effect but I still use copper and...

Tim I bought a small fox bench top drill about 18 months ago. It has not seen a vast amount of use but seems ok so far. I use it more for metalwork than wood. The belt changing is a bit fiddly but I tend to just keep it on a slow speed and leave it there. The laser could be useful for...

Simon I have recently replaced a smaller box I had with a very large clarke professional range box which you can get from machine mart. The clarke range is very good and mine is full of very heavy spanners impact guns etc. The main difference between the cheaper ranges is the slides. The heavy...
