    Default It pays to keep the missus happy

    I've been doing a lot of jobs for SWMBO lately and in doing so I've aquired a plethora of brownie points. So before I did something stupid and lost the lot I asked if it was OK to get one of these, you could have knocked me over with a feather when she said yes .
    Picked it up from H&F this morning. Thanks very much to for his help .


    A bit of help from 's block and tackle to get it out of the trailer.

    The shed floor is pretty level, no packing required. Levels taken at 90 deg. to each other

    It's a little bit squeezy at the moment, but there'll be more room when the Makita goes in 2 weeks. I'm going to have to make a short 15Amp extension cord, it's a bit of a stretch plugging in to the closest power point.

    O so very true. No matter how well you do things as soon as you disagree you loose big time.

    But dear I just solved world hunger and brought peace to the whole world...Her reply would be then why did you not put your dirty clothes in the clothes basket?


    You have no reply, no ground to stand on.

    I've been looking for a saw capable of cutting 1200x2400 panels for a while and now that I've got the space.........
    I was looking at a similar saw from Carba Tec, but the H&F seemed, IMHO a better buy.

    I'll post a review in the review forum next week.

    It's good if you have a machine with a scribe blade for panel sizing was there a carbon tax included in the future use of your machine

    Seriously John you should be more than happy with the machine and it looks like a good addition to your shed....or should I say hangar!

    Cheers
