Yep, it’s not your impression, things ARE slow. I haven’t been posting much reviews because I’m not getting many new models. Unfortunately, Brazilian Customs is hammering every single purchase from eBay with a 60% (!!!) importation tax 😤. With that, buying new models from eBay has become prohibitively expensive. That means that now I have to rely on local markets and on my dealer, which in terms of price is not that terrible. However, pickings became very slim.
So yes, the W-143 Garage is really slow nowadays 😥.

Been a while since I posted an update about how my small shop is shaping up. The big news is that I finally (!) bought a router 🤩! From Makita and battery-operated (18v), the DRT50Z is a very decent piece of kit. I also bought a set of bits from Bosch, which I think will cover most of my needs. However, these bits are 1/4″, and Makita ships the DRT50Z with two collets, in 6 and 8 mm sizes 🙄. Therefore, I had to order a 1/4″ (6,35 mm) collet, that arrived today. This afternoon I tried it out on some scraps of wood and the end result looked great.
Can’t say I have any specific job for a palm router right now, yet I’m looking forward to making wood chips fly 😁.
