Essential Tools

[Rapidset]

Hopefully the fitter you will be with will have a set of good tools and will point you in the right direction.  There are some out there still fitting the old way, ( without a rail saw)

What sort of budget do you have?

Have you got to have your own tools straight away?

Worktop jig:   axminster duel hole  10mm and 23mm inset.

Router:  Frued if on a buget,  Then Makita,  Then the king Festool.

Jigsaw: as above , Bosch do make good jigsaws.

Rail saw:  Festool, makita, mafell.  the Dewalt one is a poor copy, i have one that i bought in a job lot,  had a play with it for 10 mins 2 years ago.  Its still in the garage somewhere.

good luck, let us know how you are getting on

Hi

Yes the guys has every tool under the sun but I don't expect him to let me learn with all of his tools and thought it would be decent to get some of my own probably not all of them straight away, I am meeting up with him next week so we can over things in more detail. Makita is definitely within my budget so I will check out some of your suggestions.

Initially I think I will be taking 2 weeks away from my current job and do a couple of kitchens with the guy we can see if we get on and work together ok and  agree on money and if all is good I can look at purchacing some kit, if he is happy to let me use his kit to start with great !

Cheers
