I'm no expert, but I think you'd be better off holding the router and following a straight edge to rout slots for shelves. As far as the round or square face plate goes - I have a Hitachi M12V, it has a mainly round face plate - one edge is straight. I also have a Bosch POF 1100 AE, it's a...

Hey! Enough already! My question has already been answered comprehensively by Jasonb, whose opinion I respect(because I've seen those pictures of his work). Maybe anobium is thinking of high speed steel circular saw blades or something. To change the subject, I asked in another thread if anyone...

I just had a eureka moment! I've been using a combination stile and rail cutter( the type where you cut the rail ends, then change the cutter height to cut the stick) from Trend to make up some small panel doors, and I was wondering why my joints weren't turing out perfect. It's just dawned on...

Thanks, Jason. It has 60 teeth, and it's still cutting well, but I accidentally found a screw yesterday, which set me wondering about sharpening services.

Well I guess if it would cost that much in Canada it would be twice as much over here, but I don't want a cheaper blade, I really like the smooth cross-cut I get from this Freud LP40M.

Is it worth having 250mm TCT circular saw blades resharpened, or is it cheaper to just replace them? The blades in question are Freud, and cost around £35 each.

The clip part (screws to the panel) is almost like a white plastic Terry clip, and the mating is as I said, almost like a window stay peg. The second picture you posted would work, but it looks like you'd have a real struggle separating it!

Hi, I'm trying to find some plastic clips to fit a plinth on a bathroom cupboard. Not the ones that clip onto adjustable legs, there is a plastic pin, almost like the pin for a casement window stay, but plastic and not tapered, which screws to the carcase, and a plastic U shaped clip which is...

Or wasting hours getting sprayed with water from a wet saw! By the way, for anyone screwing ply down over existing floorboards, I'd strongly recommend getting something like this: http://www.dm-tools.co.uk/product.php/section//sn/LNL90583 Certainly saves a lot of time!

I picked it up on Friday afternoon and returned it on Monday morning, and they charged me about £17, I can't remember the exact amount, but I remember getting change out of a twenty.

Just for the benefit of any other "soft" people out there, who might have read off-putting stuff about porcelain tiles.... I hired a Rubi TS-50 tile cutter, the first cut wasn't so hot, I don't think I was pressing hard enough , but the remaining 16 cuts were clean as a whistle. To drill the...

By the way, I've read your sticky on the subject, but does the use of a 20mm notched trowel mean that the adhesive ends up being 10mm thick? The more I contemplate this job the more scared I get! I'm now reading that porcelain tiles are really hard to cut and drill. I have a cheap...

No, they don't. Thanks for the advice.

The adhesive(which is flexible) says "new boards should be primed on the edges and underside" but doesn't say with what. (By which I mean that the writing on the packet says that, the adhesive hasn't said anything yet).

I am tiling a small bathroom floor (when I get round to it!). I'm screwing down 12mm WBP on top of the existing floor boards, but I keep finding contradictory info about priming the WBP, some things I have read indicate that the underside and edges should be primed (with what?) and some sources...

Many thanks.

I'm shortly going to be tiling the floor of a small upstairs bathroom. I will be screwing 12mm WBP ply to the flloorboards and then the 13" square glazed porcelain tiles. Should I tile round the WC pedestal, or should I remove it, tile underneath and then re-fit it? Thanks in advance for any...

I know - that's why I'm trying to find out the real reason!

It's pretty new, as far as I know. Of all the circuit breakers there it's the newest. I think it may have been used just because the electrician had a spare one, but I'm still intrigued as to how it works. I'm an old Brown one, if that helps.

No, not really. The next time I'm there I'll look for a name/model number. The reason I'm intrigued is that somebody told me that it "brought the contacts together slowly, to prevent arcing" which didn't make much sense to me.
