Glad I could help you spend your money, Gidon :twisted: :lol: - although it was very depressing seeing just how little everything cost! Looks like you had fun at Woodcraft :wink: Cheers, Neil (hoping I'm allowed to go to a conference in San Diego in June after seeing this lot!)

The Makita 3612CX which Axminster stocks does have soft start. Be careful if you are comparing prices - the 3612 is single speed, whereas the 3612C has variable speed. The X just means that it comes in a case. Would definitely be my choice from the 4 you listed (in fact, it was!) Cheers, Neil

Commiserations, Chris, I have the same problem. I don't think you have much option but to replace the affected units - this is what I've done in the past. As Paul says, at least this is an option with wooden windows! My house has double-glazed six-over-six sash windows, so a total of 20 X 12...

Dragging up a very old thread here, Chris, but this gave me a chuckle the other day and I thought you might appreciate it! Cheers, Neil

Do take a quick look at the Triton as well... http://www.raygirling.com/triton14.htm Cheers, Neil

According to the guy I bought it off, the slipping bit happened the first time he used it! I'll get a new collet at some stage and see what difference it makes. I had a good chuckle at your story - I reckon we all know someone like that! :lol: :roll: Cheers, Neil

Hi Andy, Sorry, I didn't write this very clearly. Its not the number of turns between the two locks (the Makita I have has this type of collet tool) its the number of turns once you get to the final lock point - the Makita needs maybe 1/2 turn, the Trend needs at least 2. Its possible that...

Beautiful! =D> Cheers, Neil

I bought a T5 from another forum member for about £60 with some nice Trend & Freud bits thrown in. At that price I'm glad to have it, but I must say I'm very under whelmed by it and I'm surprised that there have been a lot of positive reviews over the years. All I have to compare it to are my...

Great progress, Mike! :shock: Keep us posted... Cheers, Neil

I bet you could have a go at this, Chris :D - go on, you know you want to! :P Cheers, Neil

A slightly clearer pic: I love this piece - in fact I suggested it to Tony but someone obviously beat me to it! I can't imagine many pieces which would be more difficult to make than this one. If you pull that off you'll really have my admiration, Tony! Cheers, Neil

There’s really not much point getting anything larger than the Ultra-Lite IMO - 12.5" is plenty of travel unless you make an absolutely gargantuan router table, and I can't think of many times that you would need even that much distance from cutter to fence - bear in mind that the Incra isn't...

Not my cup of tea at all, I'm afraid :( Cheers, Neil

Maybe this says more about this particular importer than about the potential savings when importing from the US in general? Cheers, Neil

Well, I suggested this piece to Tony. A very interesting (polarised) response! I don't think that using Rosewood is critical to the success of the piece, although I think it would have to be a dark wood to work well. Also I think it needs a high shine on the bevelled edge. I'm relieved to...

I must admit I prefer it like this: Neil

Hi Waka, The prize is great 8) - but like Rob, I'll be entering at the last possible moment... :wink: Cheers, Neil

Hi May-Brith, DM-Tools have it for £149.95 (only 30 half-litres of Hansa unless its gone up even more since I was last in Norway!) although I think their postage charge for Norway will be horrendous. Axminster Power Tools have it for £170, but their international carriage rates are excellent...
