Pretty narrow list Ryan. I'd have to answer - none of the above.
Not bad with a cricket bat or kitchen knife tho.
As a piece of totally irrelevant trivia, I'm hunting for the best value Nip waterstones currently. Never to let a chance go by, I stopped in at a Chefs supplies place, thinking they use waterstones for their knives (I have a set of v expensive Nip knives at home).
We should all rest easy in our beds tonight. A 1200 waterstone was around double what we pay at the usual suspects. Positively Festool, I thought.
Forgive me, I do get distracted..............Bodgy

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Do I detect a certain 'leaning' here? Made up your mind on the W/R Q: then?
Cheers!

still looking steve, lots of things to consider. if i hadnt recently bought the triton router the 'rat would be looking better. a lot of the dovetail jigs have a lot to recommend them too. mind you i might just consider mounting the old makita in a 'rat and selling the triton router and table along with the finger jointer. but im still researching Originally Posted by Auld Bassoon
