I've got one of these 2002 Nissan Navara I tried several at the time including the Mazda (Ford Ranger), Mitsubishi and Toyota. The Mitsubishi was a decent drive, the Mazda seemed really underpowered and I didn't like the gearbox. The Nissan was the clear winner, IIRC the Nissan was also the...

I think Tim is right about them just being promo stock, I got a couple of them free with the Bosch SCMS that I bought just before Christmas. I would have been glad to order some more though having just spent a week cutting oak veneered MDF skirting with near perfect results every time...

Mark, Thanks for letting us know, I'm off to start making my list now. I hope that the trial is a success. cheers, Simon

Thanks Terry, I'll take a look at them. By happy coincidence a lathe is on my list but then again so is almost everything else :lol: . Much appreciated, Simon

I've seen those for sale over here within the last year or so in the agricultural co-ops. I assume they are still used by some people for localised spraying on vines. I can't see them being much use against our local wood-boring enemy, the capricorn beetle, which is everywhere and I think is...

I have the Fox 14-655 and have been very happy with it, though it always annoys me when I look at catalogues now and see how much prices for this sort of machine have come down in the last couple of years :evil: Having said that, if choosing between those two models, and assuming that the...

Thanks Noel, I have used the guide before and it's been very useful but there are only a couple of German suppliers on there. I'm hoping that Losos may know some who deal in machinery as well. cheers, Simon

Are those the ones which look a bit like an oversized bicycle pump? Simon

Mark, I'm also interested in the possibility of export orders, there are a great many items in the Rutlands catalogue which I would love to be able to order. I understand that the administration of export orders for very heavy items could be a potential nightmare in case of returns, but surely...

Ever since discovering this forum I have benefited enormously from the reviews that others have posted so I thought that it was finally time to make an effort myself. Having managed with a £40 DIY shed mitre saw for the last couple of years I finally decided to invest in a quality replacement...

Carter, I can well understand why people save them as display items for future years, it's always so much more special to receive a gift that someone has put something of themselves into. It's a lovely idea, but I bet you think long and hard before adding any new names to you Christmas card...

I am reliably informed by members of this forum that this is exactly the same machine as the Axminster AW106PT, differing only in colour. Axminster do Their own manual which can be downloaded here. http://www.axminster.co.uk/article-Downloads-manuals.htm Go to Woodworking Machinery - Axminster...

I assume that Record will have ensured that any saw which they send out for evaluation/review by an influential journalist like Mr Holtham will have been inspected and quality controlled to the nth degree. They would be foolish not to do this. Some years ago I worked in the IT dept of a PLC...

This could be a good opportunity to spend some time planning your new workshop layout or browsing some catalogues. If you buy some new tools now they will already be packaged and ready for the move, just think of the labour you would save :wink: Simon

I haven't got mine yet either but I assume that's just because I'm not in the UK. I'm just grateful that they're willing to send me a free catalogue, the postage must be pretty steep. Simon

I had a similar problem with a petrol engined car and it turned out to be the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). But my knowledge of mechanics is even less than my woodworking knowledge :oops: So I can't make any suggestions beyond that. Is 3000rpm a precise number of just a ball-park figure? If...

Assuming that Felderman is referring to the same product Wonder Wheels is an acidic alloy wheel cleaner which is available from Halfords and other such places. It's great for laquered alloys but I've never tried it in the workshop. Perhaps I'll give it a try as well. In my experience, yes it...

Losos, The sawdust doesn't really burn slowly i'm afraid because it will still be fairly loose, but with a front loading stove it's the best way to get it in there. I still remember those science classes at school where they showed what happens to fine dust in suspension when a flame gets near...

You can download the manual from here http://fc.zindel.de/_ebeckum/_com/_en/_en02hoba.html Simon

It was, well done. Did you find a small ad or were they from the bay? Simon
