Graham, Tried the CT33 hose on the Metabo Duo sander last night and it fits perfectly, no adaptors needed (its the same hose on the CT22 if you decide to go that way). Good luck with the decision. Martin.

Graham, 4. I meant using the sliding table on the CMS not on the MFT, sorry Senior Moment! I don't have the MFT (don't have room and already have a workbench with side and end vices). The MFT would be useful not just for cutting but as a general work bench if you don't have one but not...

GrahamB I have the CMS stand alone with TS75 saw and router table but with the large Triton router. In answer to your questions; 1. Personally, I would go for the stand alone, otherwise to use the router or table saw you are tied to the MFT. You may want to use them on opposite sides of a...

Ratter, I have had one of these benches with the supplied cupboard/drawer unit, 4 x bench dogs and a hold down for about four years. The upsides; It is not at all flimsy or lightweight, especially once the drawers and cupboard are filled up with tools. I have not fixed it to the floor/wall in...

My experience of Axminster in Kent was far below the level of service from the main store in Axminster. I visited them to buy an Axminster own make Disc/Belt sander, unfortunately when I got it home found the table support bracket was missing. Despite three phone calls and an email to the Kent...

WOody, Quote from the latest version (V9) of the Woodrat Manual "Fix Your Router to the Router Plate There is a great variety of routers on the market each with its own base sizes and hole positions, so you may have to drill and countersink your own holes in the Router Plate. You will find...

WOody, The table is in the manual which you can download free from here; http://woodrat.com/downloads/WR5_Manual.pdf Alternatively if you don't want to do this pm me with your email address and I will send you the relevant page out of the manual (I need your email address as I cant see how to...

I used to have a Triton Workcentre with the big triton saw. I did not like the Triton bevel riping guide so looked at cutting a slot in the top of the Workcentre, this looked to be relatively simple. Then I took a closer look at the saw and found that the bevel pivots are offset to the side of...

I am probably asking for trouble here but have you looked at MFI. They now sell a range of units manufactured by Mark2 Bathrooms which are either 335mm deep or 210 deep. I have refurbished both my bathroom and ensuite with MFI units and they are not at all bad. Ideally I would have liked to make...

Thanks Skipdiver and George, from the front it is.

I have some worktop to go across the top of the vanity and cistern unit I am installing in my bathroom, it is the same construction as kitchen worktop. I have a Festool TS75 circular saw fitted with a fine tooth blade and a guide rail which I will use to cut the worktop to length. I will turn...

I have sent you a PM - Martin.

How old is the TS55 (roughly)? Is it the EBQ Plus model? Martin

Ivan, The FAMAG drills look fantastic but very expensive. I think what I will do is check the drills I currently have for run out and replace any that are not straight with individual FAMAG ones. I will then gradually replace the others with FAMAG as finances allow. One good thing is that I can...

The link in my previous post takes you to the FOG search page, you need to enter "Router Table" (without the quotes) as the search term. Martin.

They have redesigned the aluminium frame of the MFT to make it more like the frame of the CMS (into which you can fit a saw table, router table, jigsaw table and belt sander table). The CMS rip fence, mitre fence and accessories will fit the redesigned MFT frame. They have also changed the...

Well, called into Tilgear on the way to the office and what a disappointment! Had a good look round and could not see any L&P drills, decided to ask. Stood at the counter downstairs for a good 5 minutes with two other customers, then noticed the ships bell to ring for attention (doesn't take me...

Starrett do a really nice set of one of each of 17 blades, suitable for any material you may care to cut. Take a look at this link http://www.starrett.co.uk/products/sawblades/jigsaw/jig_saw_blade_assortments/ The individual blades are also available in packs of 2, 5, 20 or 100. The only...

JasonB Thanks for the tip, Tilgear is on my way into the office so will pop in (probably tomorrow morning) and have a look. Steve D Very sensible suggestion which my head tells me I should listen to. I have so far only found one of the drills to be suspect (have not had time check the others...

I need a new drill bit set for woodworking. I am looking for the sort of set that comes in a metal case, hinged at the back so when you open it the drills stand up, arranged in two or three tiers, in metric half mm sizes, preferably lip and spur. I have a TIN coated lip and spur set from...
