Will any router fit mount to any router table I may choose to buy? For arguments sake I have a Freud ft2200vce router. Im thinking of buying a router table for it.... http://www.powertoolworld.co.uk/trend-crtmk3-craftsman-router-table-mk3-240-volt.html?gclid=CNfgpIuEl7kCFSXLtAodDVoAoA...

Good lord, don't buy either of these. I wouldn't have them given to me (and I work at screwfix). They will work, and they will cut cleanly......just not for very long. And like someone has said - what you push them to their self-proclaimed limits they tend to blow. Again, made with plastic...

I like a coat or two of boiled linseed oil, then a clear bees wax.

For sawdust and MDF purposes. Just got myself a dust mask....but how long do the P3 filters last? When should I change them? Please explain. Thank you.

In addition to my other recent similar topic....Does anyone have anything to say specifically on the Ryobi 18v circular saw? Done a little looking into it and have a couple of questions...How does it perform from battery power? Will it cut 8ft foot lengths of sheet materials (ply) at 188mm...

Hi Big All. I had a feeling you would be one of the first to respond. As I read through some threads before posting this your name came up quite often as a lover of Ryobi. I have already read your "I rate Ryobi..." thread....but this was from 2008 and I suspect applies to maybe the last...

I supposes this applies to any brand drill thought running a 1.5ah battery. I have a Hitachi drill with 1.5ah battery - its fantastic and I can rotate my 2 batteries all day and get my jobs done in my light-medium capacity. I couldn't take it on site though and hammer it all day. Not because...

Is anybody familiar with the Ryobi One+ Range currently on sale in B&Q? I am in the market for a few new power tools - drill, jiggy, circ.saw, impact driver etc. This 18v battery range seems reasonable at first inspection. Is Ryobi gear generally well made to mild/medium duty use? Ive...

I am familiar with regular Pine timbers PAR which I have used to make furniture. SCANT is not the same stuff is it - type/species/quality wise is it? You wouldn't use SCANT to make anything furniture wise would you so there must be a difference. From the little I have seen/experienced of SCANT...

Evening chaps and chapetts. Im looking for a dry lubricant (womething with will repell sawdust etc) for the mechanical/moving components of my various tools/machines. I am looking for something which categorically states "dry lubricant" on the can but I am finding many labelled as "PTFE...

Who makes Axminsters own branded products?

Can i pose this one to the woodworking thinktank please? (title says it all pretty much) In the market for a small scale bandsaw (yet quality and accuracy are an important factor). I am swaying toward Record Power at the moment....though this is not yet set in stone pending any solid...

Can anyone tell me what dust mask i should be buying? What is all this P2 and P3 stuff? Small workshop, woodworking, sawdust, sanding, MDF. Please advise. Regards, Chris.

Hi all. Im thinking about getting a compressor for my workshop. Never had one before and know nothing about them. I am wanting to use an 18g 15-50mm brad nailer, an air blower, and if possible a sprayer. I am talking about small scale projects....I am not re-spraying cars all day or...

Hi. My workshop floor is currently rugged, cracked concrete as it has been for as long as i can remember and long overdue a renovation. I am wanting a smooth and LEVEL surface as a foundation to reinstall my workshop upon. I have been looking at "self levelling compounds" as sold in the DIY...

Im looking at levelling the concrete floor in my workshop. Never done anything of this sort before. Ive been looking at a self-levelling compound which i understand you just mix and throw down and it levels itself out. But what is this word "screed" i keep coming across. Never heard this word...

Howdy y'all. Recently joined the forum, but to explain my situation, I am about to begin the process of rebuilding the old shed at the end of the garden as its walls will soon fall down if i dont knock them down. So once rebuilt i intend to kit this out as a functional small workshop...

G'day y'all. Does anybody know anything about the GMC brand of power tools (the only place ive seen them is in the ToolStation catalogue). In particular the 250mm sliding mitre saw? I am currently in the market for a sliding mitre saw for my small personal workshop, but i dont know if i...
