    I often got tinnitus. My physio diagnosed mine as being caused by tension in my jaw! (Caused by stress). When my ears start ringing now I relax my jaw and face and it goes away. This is obviously only one possible cause of tinnitus Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    Advice on portable table saws

    I've got a Festool setup with track saw and table etc. As Ian says there are particular jobs that a track saw isn't ideal for. Precise cutting of thin straps being one. I've been toying between getting a model builders table saw (Proxxon? ) or the bosch portable table saw. I have no idea if...
