A small machine, but never the less, a handy one. Wouldn't be without it. It has a table that tilts, and that makes it a surprisingly versatile machine.

It will take pride of place it the wood work shop, once it is finished. I could have bought a bigger one, but space is a problem.  I have one from the older series, compared to the picture, but the only thing that is different is the color.

Not so long ago, I located a cheap supply of reserve saws for it, and I have stocked up, on a number of different types.

As usual, these things cut wood, and non ferro metals.

FZB-205/800N table saw

This little devil, is a handy thing, it has again been bought with space in mind, as one of this small size, can easily be set up inside the workshop.

The one in the picture is a "Ferm", mine is a Top Craft, but those are one and the same brand. And since I managed to get my hands on 6 new Metabo blades of all different denominations that fit the machine, I am "ripping away..." These blades were sold, in a car booth sale, the former owner having moved on to the big Workshop In The Sky...

Parkside PDS 200 ME double bench Grinder

A pretty standard machine, maybe a bit more solid then usual, 370 Watt motor and 2 fairly useless stones, that will be replaced  by red ones (softer ones) pretty soon.

Einhell LE OF  1400 E router+router table

In search of an easy solution, a far as a router table goes, I came across this very nice deal some years ago.

The price of the router table, included an Einhell 1400 router!

While still being cheaper then anything that could serve as an alternative.

Pretty decent of those German chaps! 

All in all, it is quite a handy situation. I had a small router, that would have fitted the table, I bought years before, and now I have two!

Luxury! Instead of having to dismount the router from the table every time it is needed freehand, I just use my old one. It is mounted on a sheet of multiplex, 18 mm in thickness and forms a very sturdy proposition, that can live under the workbench. If and when needed, a couple of dogs make for a solid attachment to the workbench.

 The old one is an 1100 Watt machine, that usually does the trick.

Although the difference between it and the Einhell 1400 Watt one is marked!

If a router needs to be purchased, I believe, that one should go for the higher wattage any time.

Powerplus POW 856 table saw.

Big brother of the one 'two up'.

This powerful machine has a cutting dept of 75 mm, and the blade can be tilted sideways (max 45°). It is also possible to raise and lower the blade.

This together with the possibility to use a wobble saw, or two saws next to one another on the spindle makes for a handy machine, that can be used for a variety of applications.

The detachable table extensions are imperative if you need to cut standard type MDF sheets (or anything else for that matter of similar size)
