Hi anyone out there got any feedback on this machine:

Xcalibur 10" Tilting Arbor Table Saw Model TC10RAS

Looking to upgrade my workshop and this small footprint machine looks to be a contender.

aden,

You may be right, I found it via a potentially in old thread.

Anyone out there got a copy the new catalogue, I believe there has been some traffic on this brand of machines.

If not I give Woodford a call tomorrow.

Am I correct that Xcalibar are a well thought of brand?

Kind Regards

David

i believe that they are well thought of. Cant help you on the catalogue. At least if you know the old model that you were interested in, then you can enquire what has replaced it- if indeed it has been superseded.

What have you got at the moment?

I'm pretty sure that the Excalibur brand is extremely well thought of....in fact it is a clone of Norm's famous Delta cabinet saw. Apart from being well built it has an arbor long enough to accommodate a stacked dado head cutter which nearly everybody in the UK wants and which despite their being confusion over safety regs, no one makes. So, yes its a cracker.

I currently have a old Rexon, as my needs were not a stringent years ago when I bought it new. It has some faults, but has been pretty bomb proof over the years. I now need something with a tad more quality hence my inquiry through this site.

I had a chat to Xcalibar chaps and they indicated that new models would be arriving in the next month or so.

Of note they told me that they are now manufacturing a very wide range of planner blades, at competitive prices.

Thanks for the feedback chaps.

Regards

Aden

That model is not the same as the Delta Unisaw, which is the larger cabinet model. However, the Xcalibur branded machines are excellent. Well-made, powerful and a joy to use. The new range has been a long time coming. But the few niggles I have about my own (the 10" cabinet version) have been addressed, I believe. For example, the switch is now on the left, where it should be, and the blade tilts away from the fence, not towards it.
Assuming the build quality is the same as it has always been, it should be a market leader of a saw.
