No need to apologize, If you noticed others before you miss-understood the content of the instructable or what I wrote :)



As I said, I had to import all machinery because in my country (Cyprus) not only are very expensive, but also the models they offer are for hobbyist (very small), so it was better for me to buy everything from one place.

I chose Axminster Tool centre, I highly recommend them to you, have a look.



I would like to take this opportunity to answer a few more points of your comments.

I am not a professional woodworker but I am a serious amateur, so nothing is mandatory to me. Only when you have a shop and you are planning your ducting system, only then you will understand the real cost of the metal ducting - It is the best, and the easiest to fit for sure, but a very expensive way to go.

I have deeply researched the combustion and from what I found it cannot happen in a 4-5 inch pipe (that’s way it has never happened until now), it did happen in big industrial dust extraction ducting.

True, that a UPVC soil pipe will build-up some static but nothing to worry about. Personally to be on the safe side I copper wire my ducting inside and outside, but I believe what the experts (air flow and dust collection engineers) say, that it cannot happen in small diameter pipes - most probably the whole subject “exploded” from companies that wanted you to buy their metal ducting systems. But to be fair nothing wrong to be a on the safe side and wire them - That’s my recommendation.



To say the truth woodworking in America is on a completely different level than in Europe and even have different standards, some are better some not, i.e. a dado blade is not allowed on European table saws, so the blade arbor is very short, while in the US it’s allowed. Don’t know who made this decision but the fact is that 85% of table saw accidents come from a single blade table saw. I know that now they are pushing for a saw-stop safety to be mandatory, but because it’s a monopoly (for now) they have problems.

So What I am trying to say here is that not everything is done for yours or my safety, primarily is been done for profit.



From what I see, the US quality in some woodworking machinery (not hand tools) is superior from the European ones, when we in Euro have No.1 power tool brands like Festool, Dewalt, Bosch etc.



Ok, that was long but I took the opportunity to say a few things for future readers/visitors
