There needs to be a gravy boat to complete the set.

Where did you order yours from? Mine are from Power Tools Direct.

Mine's from Amazon, but I didn't join in the rush until 30th November

Aye, late to the party again

 

[Memmeddu]

I had one and it lasted less than a day. That stupid handle snapped off.

Was it my gorilla grip or just a crap design? Please report back on how long they last in donk world as I liked the idea….

Edit. The best ones were a dewalt I think. They have a 6mm hex instead of the pin spanner fitting. They weren’t about long though

Makita and Bosch quick nuts work the best.
Even better than metabo design

First batch of the season...I'm a bit rusty so will need to perfect....I've yet to find a shop bought mince pie that tastes anything like a fresh bake...most of the shop ones are just mush!

Now that's what mince pies are supposed to look like. Good effort.

A little £50 aliexpress squander to turn my trim router into a mini router table...

Needs some legs or some way of clamping the router, but I clamped it in the vice for a quick play and it seems to work fine (I haven't tried connecting a vacuum cleaner up to the inlet thing on the back yet, so I don't know how well that will work).

My only criticism so far is where they chose to put the router lift / height adjustment screw:

If they'd put on the exact opposite side of the router hole, it would have been accessible with the fence close to the cutter

It's not the end of the world: if you loosen the locking screw a little, you can just grab the threaded bit and adjust it by hand that way. I'll probably live with that for a bit and if it annoys me I'll just drill another hole in the main plate and turn the router lift mechanism round.

I have the 240v version of that Makita....it's a lovely little machine.

Yup. I mostly use it in the plunge router base (this thing, which came with it), but I thought it would be handy to do the odd job with it upside down and without bothering to set up the big router table I made for my 1/2" router. I was too lazy to make my own, especially when the aliexpress one was only £50.

Not me, a present from the wife, must have been ordered prior to my other motorbike ebay purchase over the weekend.

A cheap tile vibrator.

Got a load of large format quartz going down this week. Thought I'd give one a try. Only a cheap one but il see how it goes. If it's useful I may look at a better unit.

Alternatively this one might go for years.
