How did I miss that! Thanks, now I'll have to go!

I'm tempted - but looking at the list of exhibitors, Bessey won't be there. Seeing as I only every end of buying some clamps no point me going ;)!

A bit late to the conversation but I have the TEC 810 for woodworking and the low melt TEC 305 for craft stuff with the children. Both great glue guns and would also recommend the service from gluegunsdirect. Cheers Gidon

That's a blast from the past! That review original post and review is 12 years old! Glad it is still useful though. Cheers Gidon

Ok thanks! Not too far so will take a look.

PM sent!

Did anyone go today? Was it worth it? May pop along tomorrow am. Was Festool's representation decent ;)? Cheers Gidon

I use Chestnut melamine lacquer - which sprays well. If it's a small job, could you use some cans of spray lacquer? Either way you can just build up as many coats as you need. Cheers Gidon

I have a Tormek and that's normal for the stone grader to get a hollow. Check out the Tormek videos with Jeff Farris like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lJHxoQWO8U Cheers Gidon

http://toolfair.info Hadn't heard of this - I'll try and go ...

The one linked to is smaller than an MFT/3 top - but still a useful size - and has the perfectly machined grid of holes.

I think it's a clever system and would come into its own if you wanted to make lots of tables with these holes. But for a one off it's quite expensive and looks quite a faff to me when you can get a ready made MFT top for less than half the price (and that uncludes the quality bit of MDF :))...

I have one of chippy1970's - I've never used it apart from a test cut when I got it! He charged £25 - happy to sell for £20 inc postage. Please PM me if you're interested. Cheers Gidon

Still - thanks for the info - I didn't even know I could order through Amazon.de - so will be checking out in future. Cheers Gidon

How is it free delivery - seems to add postage on for me - even with a prime account? Thanks.

Have you all checked your stones with a straight edge? My first wasn't even close to flat. They sent another- the diamond plate was peeling off - gave up. It seems from most of the comments that I was just unlucky. Gidon

Thanks for the post. A bargain - although mine arrived with the diamond starting to delaminate from the substrate :(.

The vents on the Sundstrom face downwards so no they won't steam up - as long as the fit is good around the nose. The mask comes with a test disc to check the seal. I like Sundstrom as a company - I've emailed their tech support to check the filters I was using were correct and they came...

This is a tricky subject. I have all sorts of masks including the Trend original Airshield. But what I use now is a Sundstrom mask with a P3 filter (and organic A2 filters when spraying lacquer). You don't really notice the breathing resistance when you're using it and the level of filtration...

Ah well. It is a slight shame since they seem to secure some exclusive products which are good (some Fastcap products like Kaizen foam). And I have ordered from them over the years when I've had to - and not had any issues that I recall. I really don't understand why they aren't more...
