    Stuck orbit change button on Metabo SXE450 sander?

    Hi Gidon, Mine did this once it was about a month out of warranty :evil:. The button is captive in the base so you would have to replace the whole bottom casting to fix it properly - its a really stupid bit of design. If you have no luck under the warranty, I 'fixed' mine by drilling out...

    robert inghams fret saw??

    Here you go, BB: Looks homemade to me - but homemade for Robert Ingham with his skills & metalworking kit means something a bit different to the rest of us doing it! Have to sneak in a pic of his clamp rack too - impressive! Cheers, Neil

    Bosch PMF 180 or Fein Multimaster ?

    There is a (very new) blue Bosch version - a Li-ion cordless model I have the Fein and it is excellent, but I would have been very tempted by the blue Bosch if it had been available. I'm not sure that the green Bosch would stand up to professional use - it looked a bit flimsy to me. There is...

    Office chair recommendations

    The arms are removable so I can try it with & without and decide which is the most comfortable. I should have written 'I have to have the arms available' by the way - I can configure the chair however I want. Sorry to be a bit misleading! Thanks for the offer of advice - if I'm still feeling...

    Office chair recommendations

    I might be pushing it to ask for a £1000+ chair! :lol: Looks great, though. Thanks for the recommendation, Dave - looks like thats the front runner for the moment. How is the mesh back? Rob, I have to have the arms as a requirement of H&S - also, I've developed a bit of RSI in my mouse hand...

    Office chair recommendations

    Hi everyone, My home office setup has just failed its H&S inspection as the arms on my chair are not adjustable. I have to choose a new chair and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations? It must be fully adjustable (inc. the arms) and be rated for intensive use as I'm sat in it for...

    Vacuums: Festool CT22, Nilfisk Alto Attix 360-21, Fein QA35E

    Pooka, could you do me a favour and measure the inside diameter of the rubber end of the hose on the Alto? On the Domino, the Festool hose fits over the extration fitting rather than inside it, and it would be interesting to see if this one would fit. Is the end fitting quite soft rubber...

    SOSS 203 Hinges - any experience in fitting them ?

    Don't worry, Phil - they are really easy (easier than butts if you ask me) I use a simple jig like this: Two 30mm holes drilled using a forstner bit on the drill press, with the centres 1 1/4" apart for the Soss 203. Mark the centrelines too. Then remove the waste with a chisel. Screw on...

    veritas dowel cutter

    Squared up to approx 1/16" over the size of the dowel. Obviously it has to be straight if you want a straight dowel. Cheers, Neil

    veritas dowel cutter

    Yes, they work brilliantly. Very satisfying to use too! Once you have your stock prepared, you can make dowel at a rate of about 3m a minute... If you want very long stuff you'll have to be careful about whipping on the exit side - you can make an extra support for the dowel to go into, or...

    axminster 10% off offer

    Could someone tell me when the offer is valid until? I'm away from home at the moment so I won't see the voucher for a while, and I need to know how long I can afford to procrastinate about what to buy :) Cheers, Neil

    Which LN bevel edge chisels?

    Thanks, Jon. I might have to get some ASAP in case it is an error and they suddenly realise. Its a shame that they are out of stock of the bigger sizes at the moment :( Cheers, Neil

    Which LN bevel edge chisels?

    I didn't believe you so I checked :shock: Why on earth is that? Isn't the metal part identical, so basically you are getting a longer hornbeam handle for £8 less? :-k Cheers, Neil
