Has anyone fitted a Wixey digital height gauge to a Planer/Thicknesser? I’m picking up a Record Power PT260 and am thinking about fitting one. All the YouTube videos I’ve seen are fitted to either a Planer or a Thicknesser and not a combined unit. Cheers.

I’m selling my Buzz Dado set as I’m upgrading. It has had little use as I bought it to see how I got on before spending a lot more money on a Freud set. It is 8” in diameter and has a 5/8” bore. It can cut from 1/4” - 13/16”, has 2 main blades, 4 1/8” chippers, 1 1/16” chipper and has 6 shims...

Misterfish, if you are still about, have you ever used the dado with the standard blade guard, as described in the instructions? I can't seem to get it to fit correctly.

And they're cast iron : )

Mine has a better spec motor ,2.2kw, and a different on/off button. This newer axi one seems to be the equivalent of baileigh's hybrid saw

And they are UK compliant, lol

The router attaches to the base of the table as opposed to being fitted to a drop in plate

If you wanted one without the router attachment and sliding table, the have them at £2622 inc VAT, with the 50” extension

While I love my saw, Baileigh are still dragging their heels regarding the Declaration of Conformity and are in denial that it is a legal requirement to supply one in the UK. I’m not bothered in the slightest, but it’s the principle. Would I have bought one from them knowing about the lack of...

Thanks Nick, I wouldn't mind a copy of the requirements (I'm a bit of an anorak when it comes to legislation, lol). I had a hunt last night and noticed that Yandles are waiting for the Laguna 2 to come into stock. Is the 3 the 3 hp one? I do like the look of the Laguna's though and think they...

Nick, is it the Laguna Fusion 2 you are in the process of certifying?

Sorry Nick, but as I said earlier, the saw is not for company use so I would have no reason to be worried about the HSE. Forgive my ignorance, but since when does a table saw have to have a rear take off table? My last Scheppach had one as an optional extra. I appreciate it is frustrating...

As I stated earlier, Baileigh assured me that the saw met all the requirements, but on arrival, it wasn’t marked as required for the UK. When questioned, they still stated that it had been tested and approved. I did mention about the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and the...

Excellent, well done. I've heard of Deft, but I can't think from when.

Got my Dado set today. Ordered from ebay UK on 11 March from the States, £64.42 delivered. It's probably not the best quality, however, for the price I won't quibble. If I get on with it, I may buy a Freud one.IMG_0179.JPGoWKqTGmnRtGWHKQ7yb0pzA.jpg
