Yup, Yup, not really ;)

Certainly does, Trend route it is!!

I have the big Triton mounted in a table, but I need to do some rather meaty template work which needs a 1/2" bit, which won't fit in my other routers. The question is, the Trend dedicated base or the guide pack from Triton? Does the guide pack from Triton need anything else? How do they...

The riving knife just be just slightly less than the kerf of the blade IIRC, otherwise, as you have discovered it binds. I try not to remove the crown guard but there have been odd exceptions, ripping very deep stock that has required two passes, i.e pass through then flip and pass through...

I tend use Elk PU from Screwfix for most things after repeated failures with EvoStick PVA whilst gluing up skirting boards (3" architrave with 6" board, biscuit jointed).

Dunno, but I pay £21 for an 8'x4' 18mm sheet of far eastern from my supplier. TP charge £32 for their quality ply.

Axminster Rutlands http://shop.comdir.co.uk Depending on where you are, eBay or Amari Plastics in Notts if you want acrylic or ploycarb instead of MDF. HTH

A few scaffold poles and you should be able to knock it together in no time.

I have a rather old, 7th or 8th hand Myford ML8 lathe wich is very nice and while it does have different speed settings it's a PITA to change it over. Certainly variable speed would be one of the main things I'd be looking for then make sure you bolt the dam thing down so it doesn't move. It...

When we moved in to our house we had to have the roof re-done. We had the felt replaced with Tyvek breathable membrane. We then had the rafters insulated in-between. It was then covered perpendicular with foil bubble wrap stuff which was taped to form a vapour barrier. Seems to work fine and...

Maybe not the answer you're after, but our kitchen (whole hosue) is seriously out of square. We have solid beech worktops, I fitted the kitchen untis square and the worktops on top. I then had a bit of 2x2 beech molded up and stuck it to the wall and the top of the worktop to fill the gap...

We have a Belfast sink and it's actually surprisingly easy to mark it, especially with metal implements. I have a tub of bar keepers friend handy and that that always brings it back up.

Why didn't you send the originals back for not being as described and get your money back?

$1095 It better glue and cramp the joints up for me too at that price!! :eek:

I'd be interested, but I then have the issue of picking it up from Derbyshire. That's a 300 mile round trip and 1.5 tanks of fuel in the misses 4x4 which is £90. Plus the best part of a day of my time. It then starts to look a better option to buy new locally. I suspect the same applies to...

You may be happy spraying water around a workshop full of tools with 240V AC running through them, but personally I'll go for something that doesn't conduct! Water also creates a lot of smoke when put on to a fire which isn't good in an enclosed environment. Powder works well but makes a mess...

Powder Extinguisher by the door. Sink in the workshop with a pull out tap with a shower head on it and a hose hooked up outside. I really must have a clean up in the shop and sort out all the saw dust! :oops:

I have a 10" SIP SCMS. It's had reasonable use over the last 3 years or so, used mainly for cutting skirting but other things as well. The other weekend I was cutting up scrap for the wood pile with it, nothing overly large 2"x4" was about the largest. After about 15 mins I fired it up and it...

I use this pretty much exclusively these days. Any overspill can be easily removed with a scraper once dried.
