I was looking for a Filar Loop this time last year

To loosen turn the spanner/allen key in the same direction as the rotation of the blade

If it will fit this blade is good value http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320648881834? ... 1423.l2648. I have been using one of these and can recommend them

I have that saw it works fine from a 13 amp socket it has never tripped the fuse even with the dust extractor running. It's a great saw very powerfull

I saw something similar in a puncture repair set for tube less tyres, it was used to feed the repair rubber through the hole in the tyre

I was using my circular saw today when it started to make a strange noise it sounded a bit like spluttering and some sparking was coming from the motor, other than that it is working ok. Is this the first symptom of worn brushes or does it sound more serious?

I'm no expert but have a look at the bios, my web cam stopped working a mate got it working from the bios

They are wicks own make which fit any 18g nail gun :)

Wicks also sell 18g nails without gas but only stock 25mm and 35mm.

I have tried to fit the 280mm blade, it looks like the riving knife needs re-shaping or replacing, as the saw is brand new I would rather fit a replacement does anybody have a source for a riving knife or the metal to make one? It's a Axminster AW10BSB2 by the way.

I have a table saw which takes 255mm blades and has a 3HP motor, I would like to fit a larger blade and have found a source of cheap good quality blades but they are 280mm, assuming that the blade can be fitted to the saw is there any real reason why it's not a good idea to fit a blade larger...

I also set the blades level with the outfeed table, the instructions that came with the planer suggest setting them higher but this let to terrible snipe so I re-set them level

I haven't used this but it looks underpowered, it only has a 1 HP motor which would I think struggle to cut anything over 50mm.

that's the kind of christmas present I like :ho2

hopefully I will be getting one next week, so I can let you know then :)
