New range of secure tool boxes and vaults

Manufactured in England by Sentribox with anti jemmy bar design these high quality tool boxes will keep even the most determined thief away and protect your valuable tools. Included in the range of 9 different sizes are a van box, site vaults, larger vehicle boxes and even special boxes for storage of flammable chemical and hazardous materials.
Each box comes equipped with the premium quality XLOCK™ system. This comprises of two 8mm thick deadlocks working in the horizontal plane and two 8mm thick hook locks working in opposing directions in the vertical plane means you have a 4 point locking system on every Sentri XLOCK™ box. This is not equaled on any site or vehicle box available today. To make life easier for you the whole system operates with 1 key in 1 lock with 1 turn. The handles have rubber pads to stop those annoying rattles when driving with a Sentri vehicle box on board. The boxes also have hydraulic dampers so that the lid clothes smoothly and doesn’t slam shut endangering your fingers. Each box has a protective tool mat as standard. The drop down handles are recessed when not in use. Every box is individually numbered and we can supply optional replacement keys should the need arise.
In addition to probably being the best box in the world we also give a 3 year manufacturers warranty against defective parts.

Record Power C26 Plus – Universal Woodworking Machine – Review
March 17, 2010At our recent woodworking event held at our Cardiff branch we were visited by representatives from Record Power. During the show they demonstrated some of their machinery. Our machinery expert Dave Union was on hand to review some of the machines.
Third up is the C26 Plus Univeral Woodworker :
Peter Webb from Record Power demonstrated this machine to a crowd of enthusiasts. This machine has 3 class1 x 2hp motors and the machine has a planer thicknesser, circular saw, spindle moulder and sliding fence with swing arm. What impressed the enthusiasts the most was the planer thicknesser because of its tersa knife set up. This enables the user to quickly change blades once they are blunt by either reversing or replacing the blade in less than 4 minutes with no resetting involved. This means reduced setting up times and more user time. This an all round serious kit and a welcome addition to any workshop with limited space.
The Record C26 is currently displayed on the machinery floor at our Cardiff Branch

Second up is the Maxi 1 Lathe :
Record has combined with Woodfast to produce a fine machine for the serious woodturner. The machine is very heavily built with extensive use of cast iron throughout. With electronic speed control this allows the machine to be operated simply by the user at a speed which is comfortable. People attending our woodworking show saw the machine being demonstrated with little or no vibration.
The key features were the swivel head, heavy duty cast iron stand and legs, electronic variable speed driven by six pulleys, sturdy 1” diameter toolrest spindle and a switch that can be mounted anywhere on the machine.
Other features are 37” between centres, 20” swing over the bed, maximum bowl diameter 30”, speeds from 50-3850rpm and a 1.5hp motor.
