## Frequently Requested Guidance
### Do you sell only woodworking tools?
- No. The range spans woodworking, metalworking, drilling, cutting, abrasives, hand tools, dust extraction, finishing, maintenance, and storage. The catalogue is built for workshop demand, not a single craft niche, so buyers can source multiple job-critical items in one place.

### How do I know if a router bit or accessory will fit my machine?
- Check the shank diameter, arbor size, thread type, chuck capacity, and machine model number before ordering. Fitment matters more than brand alone. If the tool uses a system standard, match the exact dimension and accessory family to avoid unusable parts.

### Are your products suitable for professional trade use?
- Yes. The catalogue depth, brand mix, and repeat-consumable categories support professional use across workshops and sites. Buyers should still choose the correct duty rating, material-specific product, and system-compatible accessory for the job to get the expected service life.

### Do you stock consumables that need frequent replacement?
- Yes. Repeat-purchase items include abrasives, drill bits, blades, sanding media, adhesives, polishing compounds, filters, bags, and maintenance products. These are essential workshop consumables, and the store’s breadth makes it easier to keep production moving without sourcing from multiple suppliers.

### Can you help with dust extraction and workshop compatibility?
- Yes. Dust extraction is a strong part of the range, including hoses, reducers, connectors, fittings, and machine interfaces. Buyers can use these parts to connect extractors, vacuums, and tools more effectively, improving collection performance and reducing downtime from mismatched components.

### Is this store good for both DIY and professional buyers?
- Yes. DIY buyers benefit from clear consumable choices and practical value packs, while professionals gain deeper brand options, stronger accessory ecosystems, and better fitment support. The store is especially useful when the buyer wants one supplier for tools, accessories, and replacement parts.
