Welcome to issue two of INProfile,
the magazine for Trend users. This
issue has timed nicely with the
launch of many new products. The
most notable being the launch of the
new T5 router and the DJ300
dovetail jig. They are certain to
become popular items for the
workshop and I have therefore
provided a number of articles on
these products.
We thank all those that wrote in and
again offer the opportunity to all
readers to participate in the
continuing success of INProfile by
sending in their tips, comments and
questions.
