In a week or so I'm looking to buy the Ryobi 18v impact driver. Okay B&Q get a ribbing but I think £99 is a good price.

Hi, I am a complete 'old' novice and I bought the Bosch palm router a couple of weeks back. So far so good. Very light in the hand and easy to maneuver. No speed control so it spins pretty fast, no problem though. No burns so far. Easy enough to change bits and adjust cutting height, though the...

Hi all, I am replacing my last post with this one as after reading it back, even I didn't have a bleedin' clue what it meant!!! Can the edge of say an 8x1 be squared off with a router bit? I'm thinking with the aid of a fence I could run the router bit along an edge. The answer might be to...

Well the deed is done and I bought the bosch palm router. In use it seems straight forward. The motor does run at a fair whack but I'm getting used to it after a couple of tries. I'm using it on a large kitchen shelf I am putting together. I have put a nice edge around the top of the unit. I've...

thanks guys, I'm still without a router with so many pros and cons! The bosch palm router is still possible. The basic doesn't have a plunge but perhaps I can get by without one for now.

thanks ntb. Seems a strange way to operate these days! If we had to ring up every company to compare prices that would be a time consuming chore. Last night I spotted and compared something on ebay, no chance of ringing companies at that hour, but I liked the price and ordered it there and then...

Hi, is it best to try and get a variable speed router over a fixed speed? The reason I ask is the bosch palm router runs at a fixed 33.000. Given that it is a 1/4" router with small router bits, is that quite a bit of speed to get to grips with? And what about router bit life? or burning wood?

Hi all, are jewson prices available online? I wanted to know the price of their makita RT0700 kit but can't find a price?

thanks all for the info. I will check out ready glued panels and prices. I thought glueing 3 pieces of 4x1's and using either dowels or biscuits I might get away with using 2 x 18" clamps? Along with a couple of battens to keep things square? What do you think? A biscuit jointer? I got...

Thanks for the info and links.

Hi all. Say you had 3 - 4x1" 's to glue together, as a beginner what method would be most likely to be accurate, a dowel jig and dowels, or a 1/4" router biscuit bit and biscuits? It would be for cabinet sides so maybe just glue would be enough and rely on the top, bottom and shelf pieces to...

Yes of course you are right. For the basic projects I have planned too big a router will make it a chore for me. Had a hold of this yesterday which was quite light and felt comfortable. Makita RP0900 900W Plunge Router 240V. Because of the plunge and almost the same price I have it ahead of...

Hi, there is a compact triton that looks interesting. Anyone had experience with either of these models?

Cheers. I'm easily confused!

Gotcha, the other end of the country I'm afraid!

Hi, where can I find this ad? is it on the site?

Hi, can someone tell me if this has a 1/2" or1/4" collet please?

Hi, not sure I can get my hands on a ryobi for a feel. The palm makita comes in 110 and 240V but at the same price. What would be the difference in terms of performance? Tomorrow I would have a chance at calling in Screwfix, Toolstation and Wickes. I might be able to get my hands on the makita...

Hi, I still havn't settled on a router choice yet! The main reason is the models I have been looking at our not stocked anywhere near where I live in N,Wales. I really would like to feel what it was like before I bought it. Buy on the internet and there is no chance of that. Tomorrow I may have...

hi big-all, do you have any pics of you welsh dressers on the internet?
