Welcome to the first issue of
INProfile. Our aim in publishing this
magazine is to provide a link
between all users of our products,
stockists and Trend, not only to
announce new products but to help
you get the best from the entire
Trend range.
Future editions of INProfile will
include articles on general aspects of
woodworking as well as routing,
techniques and technical information.
We would also welcome for
inclusion comments, tips, news and
views from readers, stockists and
woodworkers
in general.
