I did everything as said in the assembly instructions, I spent ages getting it all spot on, my single and only problem was this fence as I keep saying. When you clamped it down, it would move to the left, hmm ok so then I held the end flush to the metal table and clamped it and it moved to the...

I've not slagged off Charnwood, in fact I went so far as to say I didn't want to unnecessarily bad mouth them so I just reported the facts as and when they happened. The bandsaw was from an eBay seller who was basically a middle man and he ordered the saw to come to me directly from Charnwood...

Thanks fellas, yep lesson learned :)

Thanks guys for the input, very helpful :) I live in a flat and I have had some anti social noise problems from the people upstairs and they are having a baby soon so its good to find out now that the table saws are very loud, that wouldn't be sensible where I live. So a nice quiet band saw it...

Yeah thanks for that mate :) There is only those 2 on ebay and I think the problem I am going to have is finding one firstly and needing it to be pretty local to me, I'm kind of itching to get started again. I too have read good things about axminster, I'll check those now, I realise I may...

Hmm only one Inca for sale on evilbay but thats collection only and is 300 miles away, same with Kity only one for sale, again collection only. I guess nearly all the 2nd hand ones are going to be collection only, with the luck I have had with my first and inexperience with them, I think maybe...

Thanks for that Marcros :) Still learning the terminology here so I will go and put google to good use and educate myself as to what an kity or inca saw is. Thanks mate :D

Hi everyone :) OK I am new to woodworking and I wanted to take up this new hobby and create some nice neat boxes I can give to family and friends, I just enjoy making things. Here is an example of the kind of thing I am wanting to make. Some of you may have read my last post about buying a...

Final update. Hey guys. I just wanted to update you all on this situation. Firstly, I can't say thank you enough to those of you who offered help and advice, I've been on loads of forums in the past which have inflammatory posts and the odd clown but I've never found a place where everyone is...

I guess thats a smart thing to do Carl, fancy just taking over this returns process for me and in return I will make you a nice little oak box ? lol. But seriously yeah I think it would be wise to cover myself, its a shame one has to think like that but from what I gather so far both the seller...

Well I will be there in rush hour traffic first thing in the morning, if the refund isnt processed by lunch time then yes I will have no choice but to start the ebay process. I didn't want to do that its a last resort for me, got enough stress on without it so lets hope they do the right thing...

Thanks Carl I will have a look now mate :D

Well I spoke to the manager Richard @ Charnwood about this and the upshot is I have to repackage it myself and they will arrange a collection, but if it gets damaged in transit I get charged £30 per hour ! The refund would be less carriage charges and restocking fee, I can't believe I will be...

I have not heard of them mate but I will give them a search see what comes up. Thanks :D

Guys, can't thank you all enough for your help and advice with this post ! I have emailed the ebay seller whos been very nice and asked Charnwood to contact me regarding returning the item as it is not fit for purpose so I am still waiting at this moment for a call. I will be sure to keep you...
