Pictures of where best to apply screwdriver.

Thanks all. Cracked it. For others with the same saw.. The only adjustment is on the 4 Allan bolts under the saw table. The 2 at the front are relatively easy to get to but the 2 at the back are bisected by the table base. The base does flex a little but if you don't mind hurting the warranty...

Hi. Got my first table saw and am just setting it up. It's an Einhell TC-TS 2225. Other than the really bad nuts and bolts it was a pretty easy build. My main query is on how to align the blade. Specifically if there is enough wiggle room in the saw bolts to align the blade with the T slots...

Thanks. Will play around to get the tpi I like and alter the speed and bandwidth to suit the wood/cut.

Water is a pig to trace back. By the look of it you are only seeing where it appears and not where it's getting in. Your detail looks fine so I would look elsewhere. For my shed it was knots that cunningly shrunk when dry so the weeks spent checking and rechecking the door gasket was...

Scroll sawed for a while and am new to bandsawing. I have always used as many teeth as I can for the thickness of wood I am cutting to get the finest cut (hate sanding). I posted a query on blades and one of the replies made a sidebar commented that 14tpi was very very fine. I didn't think much...

Again thanks all. Not so much desperate for hardwood as something better than the very soft B&Q stock. The other woods used were gifted and just seemed more stable and took a better finish...... Although that could be me getting better :lol:

Thanks all. Will take on board comments re suppliers and type.

Hi I have been trying to source wood that is a) not so horribly dear (don't laugh I am new to this) and b) easy to eyeball before buying. I live just outside Glasgow and am truly sick of paying B&Q for banana pine or silly money for what looks like spare offcuts. Our local merchant (Shawfield)...

Thanks all. Was fairly sure a) it was me and b) there was no special trick to switching. Just thought it best to check. My wife accepts that I will leak a little on my projects but would not be happy if counting to 10 was no longer an option.

Yes but it goes on for ever....

I am new to bandsaws and would rather not break a brand new blade by my daftness. I bought 2 new blades from Tuffsaws (terrific service, nice folk). On setting up the first I noted the teeth were pointing up and not down as I expected. I have either "opened" the coil wrongly or its welded back...

E & W bang on. At <0.5mm over 80mm.....I'll settle for magnetic north :D

Thanks. Quick supplementary query. The wheels have a track for the tyres and the tyres are not centred. Given the tyre is cambered I am currently centering the blade gullet on the tyre not the wheel. Correct?

A bit of scrap 12mm dressed pine. Testing cross, rip and curves to get a feel for the machine.
