nice. Never thought of the grub screw idea, good thinking. Thanks...was hoping there would be an alternative approach but looks like that’s the only option!

what material did you use? How did you get it the right thickness?? I’m measuring anywhere from 3.2 to 3.6mm depth around the ledge so struggling to find the right material without a load of work to get it down to the right thickness.

Sorry for opening an old post. Did you get a new zero clearance insert made? I’ve got the SIP 01332 and looking to make a new insert myself. thanks in advance.

Hi folks, Apologies for hijacking this. Looking at buying a couple of Freud blades for my SIP 01332. Is there any recommendations on manufacturer of reducing rings? On FFX website here and looking at the Trend ones but not sure if you can mix and match. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the advice guys. My fence is sitting off the table, plenty of clearance. Only thing I can think that could be causing the issue is the plate at the back is bent. Possibly over tensioned at some stage. Will have a go at straightening it because as it is right now there is a lot of...

Hi folks, Sorry to piggyback the post...hope it’s ok with the admin. I’ve just finished restoring a second hand SIP 01332. It’s a great piece of kit that I picked up for £300. A couple of bits missing but nothing that couldn’t be sorted. The last piece that I am struggling with with the fence...

That was stupid. Apologies!!!

Are these still available?

Hi guys, After a year of searching for a table saw I got my hands on a second hand SIP 01332 table saw for £300. Apart from the height adjustment not working and rust on the table top it’s in decent condition. Hoping someone on here can help me with a few queries... Has anyone recently...

Came from amazon. Box wasn’t damaged which is the frustrating thing. Weirdly enough I’m still keen to get one as they seem like a great piece of kit. It’s the table flatness that is concerning me. Any idea what deviation of flatness you have with yours?

Did this sell in the end??

Hi guys, After much research I finally bit the bullet and purchased the DW745. Upon unboxing the table had been scratched badly but worse than that it wasn’t flat. Up to 2mm in some places. Got a replacement and then when unboxing it was worse. Plug was broke, table badly scratched, screws...

Thanks for the replies here guys. Appreciate the input. @Cordy, did you build a sled for your Dewalt? If so, any issues with getting guides that fit? I’m leaving towards the Dewalt due to the portability and the fact I’m only ripping hardwood for chopping boards so not big length or width.

Ha I know what you mean. Hard not to get carried away!! I bought myself one of the Lidl bandsaws. Been great for all I need it for. I have a really cheap and nasty table saw now but it has no fence and there is a fair bit of play between the blade and shaft. Does the Dewalt have anything like...

Hi MangoKid, What did you go for in the end? I’m going through the same process now. Live in NI as well so don’t have the luxury of the second hand market. I’d be keen to hear your thoughts. Cheers, Andrew
