Just took the plunge aswell (no pun intended)

Thought for 30 quid delivered it's worth a go as I don't think I can justify the price of a more expensive one as I just dabble here and there so I don't think it well get used that often, could be useful tool though.

Edit: The shipping is £3 + Vat, so slightly over £30.

Would you mind checking the actual collet sizes delivered please, if it's 1/4" rather than the 6mm advertised then I'm getting one too.

It says 1/4" on the box and the three 1/4" bits that I have fit it.

Are the bases interchangeable?...

...I've never tried swapping the bases over but I'll try it tomorrow and report back.

Col.

Any news on interchangeability?

Link to the full kit: http://www.aimtools.co.uk/101749-katsu- ... -700w.html ordered about 10 mins ago, will let everyone know when it arrives.

What do you get with the full kit?

Unless I am missing something, the full kit is the trimmer, plunge base and tilt base for £83.99

But buying the three items separately it only comes to £60.58.

No answer from Mike yet, though I see he is posting on other threads. Maybe his avatar is what he was doing when he read your post pointing out the set is more than the sum of the parts :lol:

Just get this collet kit when you order?

Are you sure those collets fit ?
I've been trying to source a 6mm collet for my katsu, but I thought those were for the plastic bodied makita copy. In the genuine makita models the collets are not compatible.

 

[curtisrider]

Sorry I thought you meant for the Merry one

Could be, but I was hoping he'd say the set contains something really useful that isn't mentioned in the description or in the photo.

 

[Wizard9999]

Well he is certainly still active, why don't you PM him?

I got the set from Aim Tools in May. It is exactly as you expected, the trimmer, fixed base, tilt base and plunge base. Nothing extra that you can't see in the photos.

 

[MikeJhn]

Double post for some reason?

Mike

 

[MikeJhn]

Only just got the notification of the continuing post's, but as said above you get what is in the description nothing more, nothing less.

Mike

 

[memzey]

Seems strange that the package deal would cost more than the separates. Am I missing something?

 

[MikeJhn]

Yes the three items do not include the motor.

Mike

 

[memzey]

Aah makes sense now.
