Well, over 2 1/2 years after starting this thread I've finally got my Jet 54A to go with the Makita thicknesser which I've had for about 18 months \:D/. Amazing the effect that babies have on your tool purchasing capability! Anyway, I've got there in the end :occasion5: - hope it was worth...

Thanks, Ray - I'll give it a try and report back. Cheers, Neil

Really? :shock: More info please, Ray :D Cheers, Neil (co-habiting with at least 1000 spiders :evil:) <edit> its OK, just googled. Well, I never knew that - have to give it a try

Hi Aragorn, Tools are a bit too far away for me, but I just wanted to say hi! Cheers, Neil

Hi Gill, My wife has the small compressor in Davy's post. She seems pretty pleased with it, and its nice and quiet. £10 off at the moment, too! :D Cheers, Neil

Yep, works fine on Google Sketchup. Very clever, Dave =D> Cheers, Neil

Thanks, CYC - I'll have to pick up three gates next time I'm in Dublin. Cheers, Neil

Many thanks, gents - so its self-build or aluminium. To be honest, as I only need three at the moment I may as well just buy them. Noely, I think McQuillans in Dublin may have the self-cleaning type you showed there - I'll ask CYC as I know he has just bought some. Thanks again, Neil

I didn't know that - have you got a link or model number? I would have expected to see a Mafell version, but not Metabo (although I guess the Festool & Metabo belt sanders are one and the same, so it wouldn't be completely unexpected) Cheers, Neil

The message subject says it all, really - I would be interested to hear if anyone has any opinions as to whether aluminium blast gates are better than the plastic ones. There isn't a huge difference in price for the number of gates I need - a total of three for a small system with short pipe...

Updated with Scrit's change and Mark's Metabo. Cheers, Neil

Don't worry, Mark - I wont be buying the door from them either! cheers, Neil

List updated with all entries up to CYC. Thanks, everyone. Cheers, Neil

Well, for my quote it was for a back door so no letterbox. No glazing either - this was for a unglazed door. It would have included fitting of locks though (I hope!) Cheers, Neil

I'd say so, Dennis - I could fly you over here, put you up in a hotel for the night and still save money! Cheers, Neil

Thanks, everyone - nice to have confirmation that the price is as crazy as I thought it was. Looks like I'll be hanging the door myself, even if I get someone else to make it. Cheers, Neil

SWMBO has just got a quote for a new 'hardwood' back door from the main supplier of wood doors & windows in my area (Munster Joinery). Price for the door itself was pretty steep at €750, but not that far off what I expected. But you could have knocked me down with a feather when she told me...

Hi Barry, I would strongly recommend the Ultra-Lite - there is just no need to have the length of travel of the larger models. Haven't really looked into the original positioning jig though - it wasn't available when I got the Ultra-Lite. A useful thread here, my review of the Ultra-Lite here...

Right-click the dimension - select 'Entity Info' - click 'Style' button - choose 'Align to Dimension Line' and 'Outside' Hopefully this will do what you need. I have this nagging thought that because you're using a Mac you might not have a right mouse button, or do they nowadays? Cheers, Neil

I have a feeling that one might make its way into my next Axminster basket - just to get up to the £45 for free delivery, of course :^o Cheers, Neil
