Do you need to heat the whole space or just where you are working? I have a 1.2kw halogen heater next to where I spend most of my time and that keeps me perfectly comfortable. If I need more heat e.g glueing up, I just run a hot air gun or two for half an hour to bring the air temperature up.

My immediate thought is fire risk in a kitchen.

Are you sure? I thought he was about 2017 years old. :mrgreen:

I have an Elecktra Beckum table saw with outfeed table, side extensions and slide. I use a circlar saw to rip deck boards. It's way faster and less hassle.

I have a mains Makita jigsaw. Can't fault it. As a rule, if there's a 110V version available it's going to be decent.

This is the best way:mrgreen:

Saw tooth shelving?

Simply because they are pitched at the heavy diy / light trade level and we have trade people here who happily use Ryobi without issues which suggests that they are built to last.

Cordless drills have to run on the battery - no mains option I'm afraid. No battery will last 20 years. They age even if unused. Expect 5 - 10 years depending on usage, storage conditions and quality. I doubt any cordless 'diy' drill will last 20 years except maybe Ryobi. Cheap ones will die...

More elasticity = more rebound. Think about it like this: What would be the effect of replacing a relatively inelastic sledge hammer head with a (very elastic) car spring of equal weight? Or, why are balls made of rubber rather than something like wood? Elastic material bounces. The physics of...

Not as far as I'm aware but it's easy to make a zero clearance guide rail from two pieces of plywood.

Depends on your wallet and the amount of power you want. I have the Makita 610 and I rate it very highly. It's only 360W so not in the same league as the brushless 36V but it will happily rip 100ft of 18mm ply or OSB on a 4Ah battery. It's had regular use for about 5 years without any issues...

I've used it many times. Definitely the best I've come across.

I tried that approach. I use Wera now.

Yes, they just slot in from above. A 12" concrete gravel board is about 60Kg so unless you are massive you will probably need some help. You can get gravel boards with cut outs which lighten them a bit and you can get 6" gravel boards that are half the weight - no issue with putting two in if...

Belt sanders with a coarse grit and high speed remove material rather aggresively. They are also quite heavy and unwieldy. You would be better served with an orbital sander for this job. I wouldn't go any coarser than 80 grit to start with and then again with 120. Possibly once again with a...
