Masters loaded up with Triton gear - some old style, some clearly GMC and some totally new.

I can see I'll have to give these new fangled Mongrels a looking at! Thanks for that, gentlemen.

You think you have trouble finding boots (or shoes of any description) to fit?

Silly Boy! Don't you know your Festo sander has not died at all. It has just "failed to proceed".

Yes, your batteries are stuffed!

Arry,
Here is a link to another use I have used 2tn hydraulic jacks for - in this case it was to precisely lift and align an in-feed table extension for my M3 Triton. You can easily see the...

I use small (2 tonne) hydraulic jacks. They can be found at prices around $19 to $25 if you look long enough. These, I found, provide much finer adjustment than the coarse screw thread of scissor...

If I assume that you have the original cast alloy chassis, then "yes" the rotten thing will slump. I also bought an M3 in 1995 and fitted a Makita 9 1/4" saw. I also found the weight of the saw...

Sorry, but Carbatec doesn't have the part. Have to try the UK.
I also have the first model and it has no problems - but this one (TA235CSL) - goodness me - have I wasted my money? Does anyone know...

Yep, I've had a similar problem. Waiting for it to be fixed locally. Spoke to Carbatec on the phone and they said they had the part in stock.
Whether it is the same or a rectified trigger, they...

Hello Regina,

Much sorrow at the passing of a friend we never met physically but certainly connected as we did as a forum members.
I knew he was ill from the occasional oblique reference he...

I also thought you'd plonked it onto a pro bench.
That's terrific. I love this sort of stuff. You're to be seriously congratulated!
What else have you got hidden away all these years?

I was unaware Niki had passed away. Is this true?

Goodbye and good luck! Off you go to the Festool forum Simon. I do hope you enjoy it (and yes I do have the odd Festool myself). That workman's callus on the end of your finger will come in handy.

I see I'll have to withdraw the six pack and send a full case!

I agree with Artme.
