It was their SDS drill/breaker - I'm afraid I could only recommend it as a door stop!

Little ELU table for my MOF96E. & a LittleRat, or should that be the subject of another survey? Cheers, David

I certainly have changed my buying habits since Axminster went 'White'. Their service is still very good but the machinery side of the business is certainly lacking in too many of the names they used to provide. My only 'White' purchase went back within 3 days because the quality was dire...

Elu MOF96E - 20 years old and still working well Bosch GOF1300ACE - 2 years old and suprisingly powerful Cheers, David

I've used a sandwich of 50mm thick 'Kingspan', DPC sheet and 18mm T&G chipboard. The Kingspan is lose laid with it's edges butted up tight. The chipboard is also loose laid but with the T&G edges glued with polyurethene based glue (10mm expansion gap around the wall edges. It seems to have...

In several threads recently there has been mention made of the difficulty of obtaining woodworking magazines, especialy from WHS. If you are near Totnes I can recomend Roybern newsagents at the top of town, who had last Saturday 8 different titles to choose from, including Fine Woodworking from...

Hi All, I've just bought one of these http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp?pf_id=23573&recno=1 and was very surprised to find that one has to cut left to right, due to the set being on the right of the blade when viewed from the top. Is this the case with all flush cut saws? Puzzled David.

My cover is with NatWest who include my workshop automatically as part of the 'building' for both contents and the fabric. Many policies do have a limit of £2k - possibly an industry standard? Cheers, David

I too have just invested in one of these benches and I'm finding it suits my needs quite well. I collected mine from the warehouse (which was very interesting - never seen such a high mountain of toys!) and had to drive home with the package sticking out of the tailgate - very cool 75 miles! I...

John, Go for real steam! see http://www.16mmngmodellers.fsnet.co.uk/. You can run as an indoor layout (with ventilation!) or more usually outdoors. Cheers, David

Adam, Where did the sub 0.5 micron figure come from? I've looked on the HSE site http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/wis1.pdf and it only talks in terms of the MEL with no direct mention of the grain size. Cheers, David

All the current Recordpower extractors (RSDE1,2, 3 etc) filter to 0.5 micron. Cheers, David

I have steel garage type side hung doors on my workshop and have insulated them by sticking 50mm thick PU insulation board to them. All the air gaps have been plugged by various foam strip sealants, which has stopped all cold air entering. The roof space and the floor are also insulated with the...

I've just received an order from Aminister - 22 hours after it was placed! Despite occasional minor problems I've always found them excellent. Cheers, David

Thanks for the replies - Frank's idea of an adjustable mount might well be the answer.Cheers, David

I'm just staring to sort out my new space and one of the items needing mounting is my litle rat. I'm think of putting it about 1.2 metres up - what heights have fellow users adopted? Cheers, David

Adamik FT100CF Jazz 30lt (with cream crackered PTO!) Microclean 400 Cheers, David

WMaster OP201 just recieved - will do a review soon. Cheers David

Thanks to all for the replies. I found a paper on the TRADA site which gives a figure of 0.7t kg/m2 (where t = thickness in millimeters) for C5 grade. This makes a standard sheet come out at 25kg, which as C5 is denser than standard grade, seems to concur with the figures above. Cheers, David...

Can anyone point me in the direction of information re the weight of 12mm standard density 2440x1220 chipboard sheets? I've tried all manner of Google searches but without success. Cheers, David
