+1 for the Laguna Fusion 3 and you can get it for a lot less than your budget. I've had it a number of years and am very happy, haven't purchased a dado set yet for it but its on the list

Thanks for all the responses I wish I had half the knowledge of electrics ye have, what i take from that is the 4 pin nvr switch cannot be just swapped with the 6 pin without modification. I think I will just purchase the 6 pin, I don't mind really as the saw was free. Just out of curiosity I...

Definitely not 3 phase cheap B&Q table saw this won't be my main use saw as I have a Laguna however it'll get a bit of rough use. This seems to be the same Amazon.co.uk I think the spare two are for a motor brake

I recently picked up a free performance power table saw. I couldn't say no really as it was free and he told me about the switch. So I picked it up and the switch was broken you could press the button and it would start but as soon as you released your finger it would stop. So I took the nvr...

I use DeWalt tools served me well over the years however they suffer from expensive repairs as replacement parts are sold as units, however one hasn't failed me yet. Good job you stayed away from Milwaukee according to this guy who fixes them daily they are junk with Chinese parts. He angers a...

I have been having this exact same problem this week on my record hc260 planer its been driving me nuts and its only edge jointing a board the face is fine.

I used owatrol oil and paint for my boat, boat trailer and trailer this year. I also went around the tractor and small hinges locks etc around the house with owatrol oil. This stuff goes a long way. Have a look at their range of paints

I put in a 160mm soil pipe duct system last year it works very well with homemade blastgates. I connected the soil pipe to one side of the blast gate and a white 150mm ducting pipe to the other end because the flexible hosing slips over it nicely. The same would work with 110/100mm I assume...

There is a YouTube channel of a guy who fixes power tools and he has very good recommendations for the best brand and how to fix almost anything he seems to have a lot of experience. Milwaukee do come in a lot for repairs. His channel is Dean Doherty

I bought a Magnusson square when I first started and it is actually square and has stayed square for a good few years now. It could be a one off but you could buy a small engineers square and test them before you buy

Something I have perfected is gentle tapping and half clamping until I'm at my precise measurement works really well for me something that doesn't bother me one bit

That's unfortunate. I wonder is there a delivery hub in Ireland? I use spacehub in Derry for UK deliveries rather than paying extortionate import taxes. If you do go for the Laguna there is a newer model out now with a digital angle guage and what looks like a beefier mitre guage so make sure...

I had the SIP 12" table saw bought second hand and I now own the Laguna fusion 3 for over 2 years and I can honestly say there is a night and day difference. It things like the quick removal insert plate, quick riving knife swap and the easy blade change that make such a difference. If these...

I have a second hand record pt260 and I hate it. It is alright for light use but don't expect much accuracy. So far my fence bracket fell to pieces and one of the roller block broke. The bed of the thicknesses also had a lot of movement in it. It took me a good while to get it somewhat accurate...

To close this thread off. I was sent a DOL started from Tough Leads without a thermal overload relay. This should have been included in the order which I am quite disappointed about. I contacted CHINT the brand of the DOL starter and were very helpful. Here is a diagram of there wiring if anyone...
