    That's rubbish, police are trained in firearm safety and like defence are required to qualify.

    Yep, that's correct. They are a bit of a pain to adjust due to the rough castings and machining of the guide. I also found that you can adjust it as much as you like, but you can never get it...

    I ordered some bike bits from a German seller a couple of weeks ago. Got an email saying money had been refunded and they're not posting articles out of Germany for the near future.

    When adjusting the cut, as already stated, use a piece of wood and check with a square. Adjust the cut with the bottom adjuster. Once done you need to adjust the top adjuster, you do this by...

    I only part off small sections, usually nothing over 30 mm, I find it quicker to cut off with the bandsaw, then set the piece up again and face it. I used to break blades all the time following...

    I'm a bit more realistic. Expecting businesses to print a catalogue for each store is just not realistic. Next you'll want catalogues specific to your personal needs, that'd be nice??? Mitre 10...

    Do you really expect them to print catalogues or send emails specific to different areas/suburbs, that's just plain silly. I wonder how many areas/suburbs they would have to cater to, thousands,...

    Personally, I'd get a pedestal drill. A bench drill takes up bench space and drill swarf is a bugger to clean off benches. Pedestal drills also allow you to drill fairly long stock.
