HI My festool circular saw blade has lost it's edge and at £55 I was wondering if it is possible to get it sharpened ? Mike

Has anybody done anything to improve the extraction on the sip table saw. It seems to be quite poor and I have thought about trying to improve it. I use a large bag type extractor which shifts a fair amount of air. Mike

You should use polycarbonate which is also called lexan but that could be just a brand name. It's the same stuff they make riot shields out off. I have used it for big curved boat windscreens and it's as far as I can tell it's indestructible. But it will scratch so over time you would not be...

Neil I have had one for several years now and it is an excellent machine. It's the same as the Trend machine, they are all made by some Italian company for various manufacturers. The fine filter cartridge for the machine is good and worth getting. I use mine a lot for sanding plasterboard so I...

Alf I have several stanleys and a couple of Fisco Big T tapes and the Fisco ones are the best. Mike

I have the metabo one and it is exactly what you need as it comes with a chuck for drilling as well as an angled screwdriving attachment. I also have a couple of impact drivers one makita and one elu they are both excellent but not what you are after. Mike

I got a 2hp unit from axminster and it seems very good. I mounted the motor inside the workshop and just put the bag unit outside. This way the electrics are all inside and handy and the nasty dust is outside. I would definatly go for a 2hp unit if I was you as you need to suck as much air as...

Matt I am not sure why your doors are behaving this way after dipping. After washing,drying and treating with vinegar I never had any problems. But I preferred to sand down my doors to remove the old finish as it was quick and obviously no problem with chemicals. I also had lots of panels to...

I got a Dakota gun from Rutlands 2 years ago and it has been excellent. Mike

Old 3phase machines are certainly the way to go if you have the space for them and don't have to move them about. Unfortunately I don't have that luxury so smaller more mobile machines are the only option. The noise from the portable thicknesser was also something I was considering, but have not...
