I think that us amateur woodworkers are very lucky to have professionals like Scrit posting on this forum - I'm constantly amazed at how much he knows. Also comments are delivered in an unpatronising way, which is very refreshing compared to other forums (non-woodwork) which I post to for my...

Hi Scrit, I agree totally, which is why I think the Makita is completely sufficient at 70mm opening. I know that I won't be able to use the horizontal-type panel-raising cutters which are 3.5" diameter, but I can't see myself wanting to anyway. The only really big cutter I expect to use is...

Hi Mike, Thanks for that - don't worry - the 1" rad will be used exclusively in the table. I have to disagree that the JCB aperture is ballpark for normal for a 1/2" router though - I would say it is more like the normal for 1/4" machines. Even my little Power Devil can take up to 30mm...

Hi Neil, Thanks for that - I had worked it out (eventually) myself having almost ordered the single-speed model from Screwfix by accident! NeilCFD

Hi everyone, This is my first ‘new topic’ post so Hello! Its a great forum... A couple of years ago I was given a 1/4" Power Devil router (a T3 clone) which has provided a useful introduction to routing, but I'm starting to find it a bit underpowered and generally frustrating, so I've decided...

Hi Jason, Oops :oops: sorry! I thought I would be smart and check my local stores in Ireland - for the first time in recorded history the price appears to be lower here than in the UK (87.49 in Euro), but of course it is completely out of stock... Very naughty of Argos - I'm willing to bet...

Hi Trevor, Just in case you haven't seen, Argos now have 25% off all power tools so the JCB mitre saw you are interested in is down to £74.99. Not sure how long the sale runs for... NeilCFD

Does anyone have one of these battery-powered respirators (e.g the Trend Airshield, Axminster p. 7.04) I noticed that the guy on Cutting Edge Woodworker used one a lot. Its certainly pretty expensive but I guess if it avoids problems like that which Scrit had with the mahogany it would be...

Hi Dog/Neil, I thought that the Axminster AW127R looked identical to the Erbauer - I have been considering the Axminster but I haven't been able to find many opinions on it. Dog - you can donload the manual for the Axminster version on their website which may help in making a decision. The...

Screwfix have just reduced the Ferm biscuit jointer to £29.99 - so now would be an even better time to buy if anyone is thinking of getting one! Neil
