I tend to shy away from anything billed as a site saw/planner whatever as

with a wobble saw etc.

Never thought of that, you may well have a point now I have thought
about it! ;O)

I am also trying to stick with one supplier as it makes shipping, insurance
etc., easier. And I know people who have used Axminster before with good
service.

Yep, I just tried them for the first time this week, and while it
seemed to be a bit more chaotic that a Screwfix encounter, the goods
arrived at a similar rate of knots. The presentation quality was a bit
of a let down, but the goods did work as advertised, so it's at least
functional as expected.

Don't need to carve a penguin if it's cooked right ;-)

I'll bow to your clearly superior local knowledge - we can't all have
access to penguins you know! VBG
