Sounds (and looks) awful, Tony :shock: - get well soon. Must admit I find making rebates on the router table quite scary and this has reminded me to make the guard I've been planning. I guess now isn't the time to remind you of this post - if Mrs. T remembers then you might find a load of...

Thanks for that, Steve - I've never seen this place before. Looks very good :) Cheers, Neil

Looking great, Neil :) I thought that NoyeksNewmans might but it doesn't look like it. Have you tried woodworkers.ie? I haven't used them, just found their site the other day. Cheers, Neil

Hi SF, Just seen this thread - another vote for the Makita here. 3" dust port is no big deal, I just got the 3" to 4" converter for £5 from Axminster. Extraction works really well, virtually no chippings on the floor after a big session. Winder thread is metric unlike some others (1...

Andy, The Festool vs. Mafell plunge saw discussion in this thread might be useful. Cheers, Neil

That is REALLY clever, Tim - thanks so much for posting it :D Cheers, Neil

Great solution, Noel, thanks for posting it. Cheers, Neil

Hi Les, It looks great - well done! I have to second WoodPeckers comment, though, although you probably know that anyway having heard about the total lack of progress I've been making when you visited (and all I've done in the workshop since is put some lights up :oops:). Keeping my fingers...

Tim, I'm 99% sure that there is no hose storage on the CT22 & upwards - have you noticed in some of the pics that they have a systainer clipped to the top of the unit where the picture on the side of it shows a hose & other fittings? Presumably they would only do this if there was no built-in...

Could be worse, Steve - I get % of people with a more high-status name = 92 :( whereas my wife's name gets % of people with a more high-status name = 16 - no wonder she didn't take my name when we married! :lol: Cheers, Neil

Andy, Andy Boyd used something like this on his TV Cabinet - somewhere on here he gave more details about it I think? Cheers, Neil <edit> crossed over with WiZeR there - must learn to type faster! :oops:

Roger, Partly, yes - also when ripping narrow stock I find that I have to have something else butted up to the stock to stop it slipping sideways under the guide rail - the single rubber edge strip isn't quite up to holding it for ripping. Neil

Hi Andy, I have the TS55 in lieu of a tablesaw - obviously its fantastic for sheet materials but I use it for solid wood as well. Ripping narrow boards takes a bit of messing around but the quality of cut has to be seen to be believed and makes up for the setup time IMO. I've ripped 2"x1"...

Cor, you lucky thing Dev, that is fantastically cheap! You could have paid that for one year over here in Ireland if your engine is over 3 litres... Neil <crossed over with Adrian there, sorry>

Congratulations, Adam - be sure to give your LNs a good rust-proofing 'cos believe me you won't be needing them for the next year! :lol: Cheers, Neil

Very nice, CYC - as I've said to you already, I really like the simple. clean lines of the design :D Cheers, Neil

Yes, but we haven't seen the carved handles yet... :lol: Neil

Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow :shock: Absolutely beautiful, Chris - I'm not a fan of mahogany but I think you might just have converted me! Maybe its just because I've only been exposed to faux-mahogany, the real deal is something else. The contents aren't bad either! :P I'll second that! Neil

Thats a great saving, Waka - nice one. I don't think its necessarily always the case, though - the UK price of the Jointer seems way off compared to its BU siblings :-k Direct from LV (forgetting about duty at the moment, and using Waka's $30 postage charge and exchange rate of 1.76) we...

Thats a very good idea - presumably they are compressed like biscuits, so they will swell up with the glue and make a really strong joint? Neil
