    Router raiser anyone?

    I have a Router Raizer as well, and it works well. It was a bit fiddly to fit to my Hitachi M12V, and I had to extend the winder, otherwise it would foul on the fence. I bought mine from Amazon(in the states) when they had a special offer a couple of years ago(and the pound was high against the...

    Painting over waxed wood.

    Probably clutching at straws here, bat anyway... I have a dresser, which has been stripped and waxed, probably BriWax, and I'd like to paint it, as the wood isn't really that attractive. I fear that it will be well nigh impossible, though. Does anyone have any useful tips or advice as to whether...

    American power tools...

    As I understand it, the power on construction sites is 110V but with a centre tap to ground, so the maximum theoretical voltage you can experience is 55V. This is not the case for either USA household wiring, or the auto-transformers you might buy for running American household appliances in the UK.

    American power tools...

    Errr.. Current and voltage are intimately related! The amount of current that a power tool needs is irelevant. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm%27s_law

    dovetail guide bushes

    If that's the same Bosch router I bought a couple of years ago to rout some hinge housings, then good luck. I found the cutter was not even close to being concentric with the guide bush, or the baseplate for that matter. I should have returned it, but I ended up fitting a Trend Unibase, which...
