Jason/Custard - Very reassuring to know you pro guys think highly of it. Lord - I found it on ebay, £54.95 with free shipping with next day delivery. If you can't find it, get back to me and I'll search my purchase history .....sorry can't access my ebay account here at work otherwise I would...

I ordered a 2.5L can of the Osmo Polyx oil last night. It was £55 with free shipping, some were quoting £79. So at that price I am hoping for a good job. I was also talking with an American pal, they suggested using Arm-R-Seal from General Finishes. Unfortunately that product has been withdrawn...

Can Osmo Poly X be used over the top of Danish Oil, if needs be.

I agree Jon, Danish oil was my way to go, I read on a US site about the use or a product called Arm-R-Seal, more of a poly with oils added for extra wear resistance but never heard of it being used before. I have four coats on the underside and will apply a similar amount just after fitting to...

What is the preferred method for sealing wooden kitchen worktops? Danish oil has had a lot of backing but what about a product or home brew of a poly/ Danish oil/white spirit mix for both sealing and protection properties? Any views on this? Many thanks

It has a square edge, thanks Jason, cutting a miter may have cause me a few sleepless nights Lol

When fitting wooden kitchen worktops at a right angle, should the joint be mitred or a butt joint. The wood is walnut glued up from small staves and 40mm thick if that helps? Many thanks David

Awkwood, Yes I guess that will be ture, I will actually be using it to ross cut Walnut worktops next weekend. The W/tops are 40mm thick but was think of making the cut in three or so passes, to minimise the risks and the incidents likely to occur from heavy cutting with no splitter.

Can't comment on the Bosch, although I have read forums on other tools of that brand. They all get great feedback. One guy said even the other tool brand reps don't have a bad word for Bosch. Has to be a good idictment I feel. I have this day, by coincidence spashed out on a makita SP6000...

I would like to say that I hold both hands on a circular saw every time I use it but I don't, particularly when cutting plywood sheets where the need to take one hand off the saw is necissary to complete the cut. I think though there is a great difference between taking one of your hands off a...

I have one too now, had it about a year, definately a great saw for the money. I believe it's a rebadged LAGUNA saw (amongst others). Anyway, it's well made and very sturdy with slick and tuned parts. I just had a deal of trouble with the seller and his sudden disappearance then reappearance...

The Americans (or some) do seem blaze' to safety in many aspects of woodworking, why that has become the norm I do not know. Even with the recent lawsuit with regards to a large payout for someone working without a guard. Perhaps it's something to do with "The land of the free" maybe they just...

I saw a similar incident, I saw a bloke renewing his roof, so I asked if I could have the old and removed rafters. When I went back later in the day to collect them I could hear hammer banging from the roof then a crash and a cloud of dust. The poor guy knocked out one too many rafters and the...

Lanemaux - Red mist I think it's called - perhaps we need a power tool certificate, whereby the user has to prove he/she is not a dullard and has some assemblance of competency?

That story reminds me of a friend of mone who became an apprecntice butcher, a simialr sort of action lead him to slipping and severing his themeral artery. Life extinct aged 16.

I posted this same topic on a US based WW forum, this was one guys response........you couldn't make it up...see below While I have never made cuts on my table saw without a fence I don’t use a gaurd on my table saw or use a pushstick on anything bigger that 1 1/2in although I probably should...

It can be a dangerous sport John, but generally I would suggest spinning high speed/carbide steel is always going to come off a winner against skin and bone. Of course it must be a natural reaction to grab out when your highly prized and priced power tool is plummeting to almost certain death...

John - I almost laughed there, trying to catch a circular saw in mid "buzz" ? not to be recommended.

If no one has experience of the trend blade - what blades do you upgrade to for use on the mitre saw? Thanks in advance. David

While watching a repeat of the TV show "This old House" the other evening on TV, I was watching one of the contractors scribe and fit a baseboard to a kitchen standalone island. While conducting this application I noticed the contractor, Patrick Malone, had a thumb missing. After scribing the...
