Hi Mark - Hope your well!
Would 'flex' in the baseboard and / or - the work top, also cause a slight 'hook' or 'bend' in the cut - usually in a corner?
Kind regards

Thank you so much for your message. Im not too far behind you at 60! I will look at upgrading to pneumatic machines. but I not sure I want to invest any more into the workshop at my age. I didn't know you had a stroke - wish you a speedy recovery, take it easy , stay safe. Kind regards

Theres three left over which I don't need - seems a shame to scrap them. Measurements are: 67cm x 300cm x 92cm tall - ...

Morning All. Thank you all for your comments, opinions & advice. Much appreciated. Its not often that I turn work away, but when I do its usually because the end result my customers wants, coupled with the budget they have in mind, is un-realistic. Strangely though i tend to feel guilty afterwar...
