Is there any reason I can't use uPVC doors and windows, in a wooden building?

I have one of these http://www.screwfix.com/p/evolution-rage3-fp2552-255mm-compound-mitre-saw-230v/26612 The blade that comes with it, will cut metal. I've cut 3mm and 5mm box section, and 12mm re-bar with it a number of times, and the blade is still fine. You could try buying a blade that...

Thanks for your quick reply, I'll keep you posted if I get one. John

I'm thinking of buying the very planer thicknesser you have. Would you recommend it?

Good god, you must be as old as me :mrgreen:

Only after I'd ordered it, which was a bit late. To be honest, I only ordered it to try a different grind, but at £12 it not a lot to lose. I'll be careful and wear eye protection etc when I use it.

I had a McAlister charger go on me a while back. I found it was a thermal fuse that was next to the positive connection, and it had over heated. I changed it and it sorted the problem.

I've just ordered one of these.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-598444-UPVC-Window-Blade/dp/B000LFYRQM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401009135&sr=8-1&keywords=250mm+triple+chip I'll let you know how it go's :mrgreen:

Most other blades seem to have a 30mm bore, so reducing ring from 30mm down to 25.4mm (1") are easy enough to get hold of.

Is there any reason I can't use one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trend-Craft-blade-crosscut-CC25572/dp/B0052XRG7A with a reducing ring on the bore? Thanks

We used 200mm Space Blanket at across the joists to top up. It's so easy to lay being covered in foil and plastic. The difference in incredeble.

Sorted, thanks for your reply.

My dad is trying to get the top off his cooker, to change one of the elements, that has gone. He's undone the screws, but it still won't lift up. Does he need to slide it? Thanks John.

I use Wera kit from screwfix. It costs more, but I can use it with an impact driver too. http://www.screwfix.com/p/wera-tritorsion-impaktor-diamond-pozi-bit-check-10-piece-set/81462

I bought one of these http://www.screwfix.com/p/norton-expert-laser-diamond-blade-230-x-5-x-22-23mm/50624 It will cut 10 slabs with ease. Also good if you need to cut steel reinforced concrete.
