I'm tired of fumbling underneath the slider to find the saw start/stop buttons on my BF6 so am about to add switches to the end of the slider, with a 4-way curly cable back to the original switches.

Hi Rich, Thanks for the feedback on the 5m hose, I'll give it a closer look. I do have a Mirka Deros sander, the 6" pad, 2.5mm orbit configuration. I really like it, particularly for fine sanding

it was certainly easier to buy brian’s excellent gear several years ago when the aussie dollar was for a brief time worth a little more then the greenback. it’s all snakes and ladders, just like

I have a Mirka DEROS 650X CV, it is 6" with 5mm stroke. I also bought the 5" pad (MK-915GV28-130), so I can use it as a 5" sander. That is the main reason I bought DEROS, otherwise I would need to buy

Hi Derek, I don’t know about wages/cost of living, that’s why I asked. Seems you can find just about any figure you want from high to low on the internet, so it’s hard to say what is correct. As

5m hoses here, no regrets, sometimes I need to scoot it away from under my feet, but I'd rather that, than not have enough length.? Also good for overhead stand, hang from ceiling, etc. Tom - Do you

So you have this bench for hand work and the MFT for festool clamps and the like? That’s nice to have both. Right now I have just an MFT/assembly table. I’d like to build a solid workbench for

Hi Derek, That really doesn’t answer my query, you are talking about buying non-Australian goods with the cost of importation and currency calculations. I tried to find some information on average

Danke Lourens. Perhaps we should be posting some of the work we do. I don't consider these fixtures to be fine craft. The MFT is really crude work. Fine work is done with hand tools. Here is my work

Hello Tom Gensmer, Can Mirka hoses be used with Festool vacuums/tool connections? If so, that’s huge savings on hose costs. Thx, Wade

A little off-topic, but I'd appreciate the wisdom this group may have to offer. After many years of useful service, I'm preparing to retire my old 27mm dust hoses, and am looking at ordering some new

Hi Derek, I’m very impressed with your D.I.Y. approach, your worktable is beautiful and I imagine very useful. You are indeed a master craftsman.

Hi Derek, I apologise for my delayed response, just turned 06h08 on Sunday, 5 March 2023 here in Pretoria, South Africa. I wholeheartedly support your innovative mindset, you are obviously an

Very nice build Derek, thanks for showing it. Bon
