My mother gave us that when we were kids, ghastly stuff. 🤮

I've just bought 10 x 5 types of grit 3M Cubitron II from Taylor Tools in the States £41 Inc £7 delivery. Search Results If anyone can get them cheaper in the UK do let me know.

Metabo make great sanders and I have read that they make the Mirkas for them. I'm not sure though, does anyone know if this is true or not?

Katz-Moses - his excellent review is here

I also use the 3M Xtract Cubitron II disks and they are excellent in my Metabo SXE 150-5.0 (green mirka).

or the gaps mark the ones shot down...

I think the same attitude exists here to some extent, happy to pay £60 a month for Broadband/TV/Landline but only pay for teeth if something goes wrong. I'm guilty as charged...

mmm, I get the same offer from my dentist, every time I visit they say 'we just need to do an Xray as you haven't had one for a while' which I politely refuse as it is expensive and usually unnecessary. Here in the UK dentists are mostly private; there is a recognised lack of nhs dentists so we...

Went to the D&M Show at Kempton today with a mate. We really enjoyed the day, totally captivated by an excellent demonstration of the Mafell jigsaw and tracksaw. I'd pretty much thought that when I upgrade my tracksaw I'd plumb for a Festool TS55 but, whilst the Festool wins on aesthetics the...

I've recently read somewhere that American Fridge Freezers are one of the worst for energy efficiency.

When I needed to cleave 8ft long chestnut 5-6" poles to make our pergola I used a sharp bill hook and mallet. I managed to control the split most times ok but if I ever need to do it again, I will buy a Ray Iles Froe.

sorry I don't see your point..

I think you may have misunderstood, or I haven't explained it very well - I was proposing a thicker microjig top or leave as an mft top. If its Peter's attempt to combine the two that makes if weaker and you don't want the hassle of bracing then dowel the front skirt for microjig clamps and keep...

It sounds like microjig, with possibly a thicker top, or mft but not both, unless you can put up with the limitations of bracing? There may be a better solution if you just use microjig on the front skirt and mft top.

I'm afraid that when you ask for recommendations on bandsaws you will get a dozen or more different answers as they are very personal things. My budget was tight and like you worried about 2nd hand so I bought a Lumberjack 12" this one Lumberjack 12" Floorstanding Professional Bandsaw with...

It's worth pointing out that the legionella risk only applies to direct systems i.e. where the hot water is stored in a tank and is used as needed. In a modern indirect tank in an unvented system (no header tank) the heated water never leaves the tank, simply circulating through the boiler to...

I would have thought @petermillard solution would be ideal? He recently made his own mft top using a relatively cheap mft top (CNC Designs are excellent) shows how to router microjig tracks, fit metal tracks to the front and rear and made his own track hinge. He uses a Benchdogs fence which I...

This is mine and I've read that Metabo make the Mirka, I wouldn't be surprised if they also make the 3M. https://www.metabo.com/com/en/tools/cutting-sanding-milling/wood-processing/random-orbital-sander/sxe-150-5-0-bl-615050770-random-orbital-sander.html

Yes, I totally agree. The reference was aimed at his vice recommendation not the way he mounts it in this article. There are videos on YouTube that show how to flush mount one.

Ah the pencil ring - that could be it - you are sitting on them are they are disappearing up your arris
