Hi Johnny - sorry for the delay in responding. Yes, I'm also still using the saw, not very intensively at present, but still referring to Siggy's posts for guidance. You'll find that most problems can be sorted by following his suggestions, so don't give up; the manual is by far the worst thing...

Thanks again, Siggy - really helpful; I have a carefully annotated copy of this thread alongside the machine as I continue my setup and fettling. The guidance on levelling the sliding table works really well, but I lost it all when trying to change the blade. I discovered that I couldn't move...

Though this thread started some time ago, it's worth saying again what a really helpful guide this is - thanks for the trouble taken, Siggy. I'm in the middle of setting up a new TS250-RS; amazingly (or not?), every inaccuracy and omission you identified in the instructions is still there...

Rod, Thanks for the info. I'm currently experimenting with Mark Ripley's variation - one third each (approx) of Danish oil, white spirit and matt polyeurathene. Too early yet to judge the outcome. Have you (or anyone else) tried this? How does the result compare with the Maloof original?
