Oh well... My trip to the capital was a waste of time.
only one shop had any saws on display. there were three contractor type on stands and wheels.
An AEG looked quite promising, wide enough table for me, but I couldnt slide the fence along without having to lift it over all the joins in the table edge.
A ryobi had a table that was barely bigger than the one I have, and the table was the same cast aluminium as mine that I am so disgusted with.
And finally a powerplus. I bought a powerplus tool once, once is enough.
Onto the hunt for a freud blade. On my last shop I found some freud blades, all of them too small for me.
So i have ordered from FFX, but it will be three weeks before it gets to me so theres no news to give. Wish I'd started woodworking BEFORE I emigrated.
The only "good" thing that came out of a wasted day was the new switch for the router. Now I just have to make sure this one cant fill up with sawdust before I fit it back into the router.
