Hi, im not a pro but i will say that i had some issues with my band saw when i first got it second hand. A Kity. I spent time on you tube where there are some excellent tutorials on setting up band saws. Like you i could not cut straight. But time spent setting up the guide wheels top and bottom...

Thanks for the reply. Out of interest what hoover do you use. I did do a bit of searching on this forum and was considering purchasing the CamVac 2000w or 3000w. Since my workshop is small would likely consider 63mm piping all the way. I have similar issue to others where my workshop is 2/3 of...

Hi all. I know dust collection has been discussed many times. I have read many different forums and web pages, and to be honest am still a little confused with all the techno babble. I have a dust deputy cyclone with 50mm in and out and 2 vacuums. A older numatic henry which i think is 1000w...

Many thanks for all your replies and also pointers. Noting some things said, i have taken a little step back and done some thinking I was looking a seperate table saw and router,and was also looking to sort out fence issues with my ts200 saw. Been good saw but let down by some build quality...

Mike The one on the woodworkers site i was looking at was the 24x32inch one. Looks like it would do what i need without takingnup the whole workshop. Not looking for benchtop size, if this is what you mean by compact. Want it to be able to accomodate the triton router i have as this has the...

Thanks for all the replies. I have been looking through the stock at the woodworkers site you linked and i have to say, after browsing, i am sorely tempted to cut out all the hassle a buy the incra router table top and wonder fence that he has listed on his site. I tnink the stand alone fence...

Mike, thanks for the reply. I mainly envision the tracks for use as runners for mitre gauges and for sliding of my jigs back and forth, similar to slots on a table saw. I am trying to steer away from wood runners like on my table saw sleds, as workshop is not heated and wood runners, no...

Hi, this may have been covered before, if so sorry before hand. I am finally getting around to sorting out a decent router table for my worshop. I looked at making a base and buying just the top. But all the tops i found all come without the insert plates, fence etc, which would all need to be...

Hi i was given a clarke 12inch 3 wheel bandsaw a while back. Did not really expect to use it much, but it was free so thought, Why not. Well, to my surprise the thing became so usefull, that when it failed recently i found myself missing it. It was never used for straight cuts, just stuff that...

cthanks all. did check axminster but they did not appear to have that length of blade in stock. so did what you all suggested and looked at the Tuffsawsite, little confused on the many types of blades, but one phone call and a quicky explanation of what i mainly would be cutting and doing with...

Cool, thanks.

Hi. over the weekend i was given a freebie Bandsaw by a relative. doesnt have a blade though so would need to buy one. done some searching on this forum and seems some discussion on blades has arisen before. simply put, anyone got one of these, and can suggest good blade along with actual part...

HI bearing in mind that this idea came to me and I knocked it up in a couple of hours, so some things probably could be done a little better, and some people might have suggestions for improvement, but I wanted to try the concept first, with whateve I had kicking around the workshop not really...

Hi, Pretty new to this forum so hi to all. not sure if this would be of interest to anyone. i bought an axminster saw recently along with the sliding table attachment. although happy with the saw itself (apart from a few niggly things) the sliding table attachment was a bit of a let down...

Firstly, new to this forum so hi to all who popped in to see my question and thanks in advance for any advice given. Got what I think is a unusual question as could not find answer anywhere else on the forum. I have a 1.5m x 800mm workbench, which I modifed some time ago to fit a table saw...
