my Hitch arrived today, and as stated it is huge. I have looked at some cheap biscuit cutters, but am not sure as to how the cut works. I guess you use guide rail, but plunge to the side? is it just a straight in out cut, or does it need lengthening?

Thanks norcon, they can be expensive. !

Not an expert Jeremy, but best case i would say strip back as much as poss to wood all round, sand and fill any gaps. treat with good quality primer and then paint. ensure you seal sides with window sealant. Remember water is your enemy and it WILL get in if theres the minutest chance. Worst...

OK, I have resigned myself to the fact I shall s**t a brick tomorrow when I unbox the beast, lol. I will be looking into making a table so I can make the most of it in due course. Does anyone know what the name is for the switches I have seen on some tables, where you plug in your router and...

thanks guys, more great advice. JK those are the tips i really need it looks like, how not to screw up and break/ injure something before i start? :roll: big all, it looks a beast in the video, shall only really know when I get my hands on it. but I was scared to turn on my miter saw at...

could you use the SDS for general woodwork tho, anything from pilot holes to arbors? as I couldn't stretch to two drills and mainly be using it for that. but would need enough grunt for some brickwork ((old walls). If not I would go with the combi. The vid I posted earlier shows awesome power...

Evening all, just wondering if anyone has any more tips for M12 router (or for newbie in general) I have it ordered for delivery Monday, I will practice until comfortable before cutting wood worktops however I am a little confused as to the direction of travel possible in particular. I...

Thanks guys, i will check prices out for the 12v combi i think. And maybe sds as well😊

Well I think I am all set. I have ordered the Hitachi in the end as I shall defiantly use it lots in future. Also drainage jig, worktop jig and have loads of spare wood to practice. Also some router bits in shed that would do to practice with. When I am confident I will buy the other little...

Sorry, meant drainer groove. 12.7 cool. Drip groove should be fine, i have some smaller 1/4 bits i will dig out. Im guessing the drip grooves will definatly need to be well oiled as will the cut sides. Is there a chance of clogging them up? Im looking at pre oiled worktops, which i assume...

Oh my, thats a beaut. If i can get it looking anything like that i be a happy man, so will the wife. I have the problem that its a double cupboard and sink is in middle. But love the idea of using an ofcut underneath, that would give the look, with front of sink showing yet hide pipes, if i can...

My last problem, i think, is how to deal with the sink. I would love big chunky wood underneath supporting it on show, i know it is more work and expense but was always going to be an issue. Or could knock something up and close the doors. It is a small butler sink, but very heavy, so will...

Okay cj, my apologies if you meant no malice and i read it wrong. I have ordered drip jig and worktop jig, found used for £12. Just trying to decide whether to go budget or stretch to hitachi jk rrecommended Does look good tho. Jk, got ya, drip groove, like window makes sense. Not...

i know what you mean about the 'facts' of the web. It may have been a crazy idea but when evidenced by several posts with stage pics as they go it seemed reasonable that it could work. Maybe more so for small peace or breakfast bar Tho than full length worktop. However, it wasn't that...

Thanks j&k, square edge definatly, if i dont need male female joints great. I have jig and circular saws, hope they are adequate. Could i use router and guide to cut length to size? when i buy router, I would try to use it for butler sink and draining grooves. Could i make a jig for sink...

Ok guys, im almost convinced. I have applied for selco cash account just so i can see prices... and looking into some ebay stores. Am i right to be worried about buying cheap? Could quality be a problem? Many thanks for all your input. As regards to...

no frog, thanks for thought though. Need at least 2.8 and thicker. 👍

These are homemade shelve, spicerack for kitchen, old styles instead of modern clean lines. If that makes sence? (Sorry bout angle, couldnt figure out how to rotate!)
