Thanks all So, this is what I’ve decided: I woodwork at home, I don’t need to transport it but I am limited for space inside. I can just about manage a full sheet indoors. It’s true, turning the rail will be a logistical acrobatic feat, probably navigating it to the stairs to get 3m of height...

Thank you all, very helpful and lots of food for thought

What setup did you have when you had the Festool? Joining two rails?

Thank you!! Very helpful answer. And thanks for the tip about internal stresses! I think I always assumed it wasn't an issue for man-made boards, but it seems like it still is a factor. Thanks.

Just to add, does anyone regularly use a dewalt saw on a makita/festool track? What’s your experience?

Hi I’m debating whether I should invest in a full size rail meaning 2.6m or 3m I will be making a bunch of cabinets soon and will need to rip long lengths of MRMDF for door rails and stiles I like the idea of just putting one rail on and not worrying if it’s straight BUT! I’ve heard that...

I have always liked the idea of the 'ball' extinguisher, that you hang and it automatically goes off if a fire is detected underneath it. I feel like I should get one and put it over where I store my batteries and paint e.g...

Oh sorry! I was asking where you BUY it from :) I would never (intentionally) be that rude. I no longer have a table saw, but I saw an online retailer (link above) selling 2mm thick lipping for ~£45 inc. for 50m. Which isn't 'cheap' but not bad, considering I can sand and chamfer the edge of...

Thanks all. Where do you get this from? Some googling showed me this, which seems good - anyone used them before? https://www.veneersonline.co.uk/search?q=beech+edging&_pos=1&_psq=beech&_ss=e&_v=1.0

My recommendations: Dewalt multitool (corded or cordless, up to you, but if you go cordless might as well get Makita, also good) Metabo Orbital sander (150mm) Router - Maktia or Hikoki if you are doing 1/2" heavy duty stuff; Trend or Dewalt if you are doing lighter duty 1/4" stuff; Bosh or...

I've sent you a DM

lovely, thank you! Open to other recommendations too

Hi, I'm looking to edge-band by 18mm plywood, which is veneered in beech. I'd like to edge band using real-wood beech veneer, 19mm wide (or I can live with 18mm). Ideally, i'd like it to be around 1mm (or more!) thick, but I know most are thinner than that, which I can live with if I have to...

I have had so much value from this forum. When I get to a point when I can support, then I will. I find the messages no more/less annoying than promotional emails.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clke1w102yno Trackers are a good idea! Just needs a few more people to do this to dissuade the stolen tools industry

Following this... I have a integrated Miele Fridge/Freezer I need to build a cabinet for - same design, inset doors with face frame.

Judging from your photo, you have the trend Pro router table? The one with the adjustable metal legs? I have the exact same one. I drilled holes in my router plate to get my router to fit. It's not 100% in the middle of the hole, i'd say around 98%, and it works perfectly fine, since the router...

I am really enjoying it. I'd love to know how much effort he's put into the CNC designing/programming for the project, and test pieces etc. I wish I had the space and money for a CNC machine!

Better blades always improve the performance over cheaper blades, but you will always be limited by the power in the tool itself. I would personally buy some better blades and see how you go. Remember you can always put a slightly smaller blade in your circular saw if you don't mind slightly...
