Andt the Festool part number is 493566 which any dealer can order. From memory its about £10. You will still need the brass bush 711TP from Leigh. The 1400 is excellent on the jig but the whole Leigh experience is transformed by the addition of the new vacuum router support. No dust or...

Well done John for sticking your head over the parapet. As for 'white collar crime' the only criminal thing I have read on this thread is the stupidity of the originator who posts on his own ineptitude, expects sympathy and rubbishes a firm who have honoured their part of the contract. They...

The EL65 is a cracking little planer and like all Festools, it does exactly as it says on the tin. It is light, easy to adjust and very accurate. The finish it leaves is superb and the chip collector can be fitted either side of the body which I have found very useful. The blade is about £8 but...

Many thanks for this heads up. Bought one in Chester today. 2 left at 1530hrs. I have the original Elu one and it has been a super piece of kit so this one is pure greed but at £30 it would have been naughty not to have bought one. Cheers!

Most Festool dealers offer a 20% discount off the list price which (roughly) brings the cost of the tool down to the Euro equivalent price in Germany. See http://www.festool.de to compare prices. EBay gives a good Festool price indicator with several authorised dealers advertising Buy...

Steve The majority of the mini lathes sold in the UK now are made in China and range from ah so to ah soles. I looked at a quite a few different makes which all seemed to come from the same factory albeit with different colours/badges and wildly different prices. I was very dissappointed at the...

I echo that. If you want some excellent Festool advice give RM Hire a ring in Wolverhampton. Roy Tolley is the man to speak to. He has just left Festool UK as an area rep to rejoin the family firm. They have large rolls of paper to mop up any drool! No connections with either firm. Just a very...

Festoolitis, or the marks left by a flying object, is a scourge in our part of Mid Wales. Surgeries are full of bewildered men covered in sawdust who have been attacked by their wives.... after they intercepted their card statements and realised that the housekeeping had gone on a white box with...
