    Scheppach TS 4020 saw

    If you use the search on this site you should find a couple of replies I received when I asked the same question. I was given a demo and was happy with the saw but I wasn't ready to buy at that time. Since then the price of the saw has increased quite a bit and for little more your into Felder...

    Garage conversion

    The way I've known it to be done is to strap the walls with pressure treated timber with dpm between the timber and wall. Its usually the 100mm roll bricklayers use. The main thing to avoid is trapping any water that is shed from the dpc level (on the occassions the wall gets saturated with...

    Wizer, If its any help I also have the Jet 260 and it sits in a Dakota mobile base that lowers onto rubber feet once you've positioned it, and when I went to look for the part number it happens to be reduced in price from £49.00 to £29.99. (PS I've no connection to Rutlands or any other...

    Scheppach Basato 5-4

    I bought mine recently for £900 a 2006 model from a large supplier it was in really good condition so I suppose around a £1000 is the going rate for that saw. Its my first bandsaw so don't have anything to compare it with but so far I have no complaints, in fact I'm wondering what I did without...

    which table saw?

    Just a note, the side table on the sip the is perminantly in position which may limit using the sliding carriage if space is an issue. On the 4020 you can lower the side table to get more use out of the sliding carriage and it can be removed leaving you with just the foot print of the cast...

    Festool Tablesaw thingy?

    I've thought about buying it, although it would be mainly for on the job use not in the workshop. It would be another way to extend their use as they are costly to buy.

    Sourcing timber in Scotland

    I use "Out Of Wood" at Braco and "Falkirk Wood" at Shieldhill for solid timber hardwood purchases and "MGM Timber" in Falkirk for sheet products and general timbers. They've all provided great service so far and can't help you enough. Both Out Of Wood and Falkirk Wood have cabinet makers as...

    Levelling a slab

    The best product would be self leveling floor compound you buy it in tubs and just pour it over the floor or into the hollows if your only doing spot repairs. You'll still have to prime the floor as per the instructions. Its good stuff you can feather it from 1 inch to 0 and it shouldn't break...

    same machines different badges???

    Hi Ardnut, I have the aws10bsb model its a good saw for the money although I've found the sliding table needs attention to keep it square, the rip fence is good even with a very slight dip in the middle of the table which doesn't affect the squareness of the cut. Other owners have...

    Sheppach TS4020VR v's Forsa 4

    Thank you for the replies, ProShop your right, they are over the top with the price on that one, do you think I'd get a better deal buying secondhand? I'm working from a large garage at the moment and while I could get a forsa 6 or Altendorf WA6 in most full size panel saw's are to big for the...

    Sheppach TS4020VR v's Forsa 4

    I've been looking to upgrade my axminster table saw and have narrowed it down to these two and my question is just how much better would the Forsa be? If you add the heavy duty support and the 2m professional sliding table to the TS 4020 your into £800ish of a differance in price to the Forsa...

    Breathable membrane in rain? / Strength of manmade slates

    Hi Paul, its best if you can avoid walking over the tiles mainly if you do break one its a pain to replace and while your fixing the broken one theres a chance you break another one. If you have no choice then the best place to put your foot is bang in the middle of the tile just a little up...

    Anyone got a Axminster AW106PT2 or Jet JPT260

    AW10B Tablesaw opnions from members

    Hello all first post for me, I had the same trouble with the flatness of the table and discovered its the weight of the motor and winding gear as they're bolted to the table top just in front of the blade slot. I fabricated a support that pushes the table back up at its center and its almost...
