I get a bit worried about the pressure the imports place on our economy. For emergiing giants like China and India, it could cause some problems for our domestic market and also the US Market in the...

Thats interesting outback how long do you think that the risidual action of tordon will last? I live about 10 feet from a paddock and live in an agricultural community and as a general rule, poisons...

Tordon is effective but it is dangerous and is highly residual, nothing will grow there for about 7 years. There would be newer poisons on the market that are not as residual as Torden. Stump...

I have one too, they are good for little fiddly bits, and also like the idea of the Lithium battery. The battery will probably outlast the Drill!

You said that you are setting up a new workshop. Needless to say you will probably need both a 1/2 and a 1/4 inch router. Even if it is for the smaller jobs a smaller router is better suited. I have...

The local hall has just been rendered with plaster, as cracks were appearing. To make their job easier I am considering lending my ROS Festo 150/3 hooked up to a Vacuum. Will this do the job and...

So what's better a smart woodworker, or a dumb woodworker?!!!!!!!!

The usual suspects, I use a Festo 150mm 3mm orbit, with good results. I am sure others use similar machines with good results, but I have no personal experience with them.

I use Win 98SE and Firefox Browser. Loads quicker than most "pop up" sites and very good work. Congradulations. Maybee you should enter them in the Festool Fine Woodwork awards.

I have the Festo, which is very good, but for the price the Duo (Metabo seems good value), If you are keen on a Festo, enquire about the 125mm model it is quite a bit cheaper. Otherwise the Bosch...

I voted the Makita, but in particular I like the look and feel of the 160mm Circular Saw, just waiting for one to come on special, or a good second hand one.
