5. Storage Box with Router Bit Set

Give your loved one a gentle nudge to keep things organised this year with the Storage Box with Router Bit Set. And get a tidy home while you’re at it. Perfect!

 

6. Mitre Gauge

Now it goes without saying that table saws are one of the best tools ever made. But if your loved one wants to create precise joints, It’s a Mitre Gauge they need.

7. Featherboard With Angle Measure

Featherboards are used to control the passage of timber horizontally on router tables or vertically on a fence. With a handy spirit level included, your loved one will never have to worry about wobbly woodwork again!
