;) Well I've gone for the TS55 with a 1.4m guide rail plus some extras. And one of my most crazy purchases - a Lamello Dosicol glue applicator for biscuits! Cheers Gidon

Thanks chaps - should have said my business isn't woodworking though - it's just I'm making the furniture for the shop - so not sure if that makes a differerence. No don't have a Dewalt plunge saw - it's a old model (build like a tank mind!) Cheers Gidon

Ah ok thanks Wizer - although it would have to be 100mm long for my tops? Cheers Gidon

I have a lot of veneered MDF cuts to make and whilst looking for a saw blade I somehow managed to stumble into Festool territory! I've always been happy with my Dewalt saw and homemade guide rails. But if I get a new blade chances are I'll have to remake my guide rails! So is the Festool TS55...

Thanks for having a go - my construction has changed slighty so will build the model up again and see if I still get the same problem. I don't have cutlist. Will post later on my findings. Thanks again for your help. Cheers Gidon

Jason - really good of you to do that sketch - thanks very much! And makes it a lot clearer - I get it now (I hope). What do you mean by a desk table tidy? I saw that cable groove at the Apple store and it looked quite neat but yes an easier option is always appreciated. To rout the groove...

Thanks Jason - I don't think I've understood your original idea then! Perhaps if you had a chance a sketch would be very helpful! Thank you. And I don't know whether I've been looking at Sketchup for too long but not sure I understand your suggestion for the top either? Thanks for spotting the...

Well spotted oddsocks!! Thanks very much! Can't figure out why copy and pasting the whole table even once seems to screw things up? Cheers Gidon

I'm trying to get a cutlist for this sketchup file: http://public.me.com/gidon.reid First off whether I have one table or 3 the "table.top.filler.short.sheet" component is placed on a seperate sheet for no reason I can see? Secondly with the 3 tables the results I only get cutting layout plots...

I posted last week in the design forum for some inspiration for a counter and tables for my new shop which will be selling technology (computers, cameras, mp3 players etc) - think Apple store kind of look. I got some very helpful advice from forum members. I've ordered the wood (9 sheets walnut...

Thanks Si - that's a really generous offer. Wood arrives Monday so will no doubt be stuck very soon. Lovely website and work by the way. Glad you like Wizer - little idea at the moment how I'm going to get this all cut up and joined together! Cheers Gidon

Tony - how could you?! I could never part with that plane! Cheers Gidon

I like the T11 too - have had it in the table for sometime now and no probs. Combined with a Xtreme Xtension (http://alturl.com/krak) it makes using the router table easy. Cheers Gidon

Hate to tell you Peter but they had 25% off lighting last weekend! I spent a small fortune there! Cheers Gidon

Si - thanks so much for the step by step - really helps! I get it now - I think! So the main advantage to just lipping the table tops and using a butt joint is strength of joint? Or do you think visually it's better too? For the front solid wood I would rebate the full thickness of the wood...

Dave Yes will be putting levelling feet on - do you reckon they will be ok in the 18mm MDF? The units are going to weigh quite a bit! I know what you saying about the mitred corners but can't see any way around this - even with Si's suggestion (if I've understood it) they be some mitre exposed...

Thanks!

Thanks chaps - really appreicate your help. I think if I get the shop tables right I'll fine tune the counter. IB - Apple store look is closer to what I'm after. See the end tables in this pic (sorry for pic - thought I might get in trouble for taking photos!) My floor is going to be maple...

Wizer - what just the front edges or all around? Cheers Gidon

Roger Well I really like it! Lovely simple interface. I've not seen anything quite like this personally and would use it. I would spend ages trying to find somewhere near a conference and then check prices and availability. I do agree that it may need some work to perhaps pull information from...
