Hi all
Does anybody happen to have a manual they could send me a copy of/scan for the above? Or the P200 which, I believe, is very similar.
Cheers

Re: Wood waste disposal?................
Have you thought about local tradesmen with woodburners who would take it off you? I have a burner and struggle to create enough waste for the "cold spell" - I have it lit from October to April (ish). During the summer I just stack up all the offcuts/bags of shavings etc. I only burn extractor shavi...

Re: Mirka Ceros sander problem
Transformers rarely go faulty, it's most likely the electronics in the box that are at fault; that is even if it has a transformer in the box at all as they normally use switched mode power supplies these days. Not sure I understand - I thought the "box" was a transformer - from 230v to 22v. Anyway...

Does anybody use the Abranet discs on the Festool sanders? Always like the dx properties of Abranet, and i've heard the Festool discs are a bit on the steep side.

Thanks for the replies. All quite disturbing as I was thinking that this one has given me about 4 years service before playing up, so was on the verge of ordering another. But definitely not. Festool ETS EC 150/5 looks like a good option, albeit quite wallet pounding.

I have an old surface planer which has this type of block. Never had any issues, though I must admit it is a bit hairy when you first fire it up after fitting a new set of blades - I always triple check the tightening of the nuts

Simple answer - no, not unless you get very very very lucky on e-bay.
I bought a single phase used table saw which could take an adjustable groover, but that was £600 iirc. And I got lucky on the price - I sold it a few years later for £250 more than I paid.
