Looks to be generic Taiwanese....same as the Axminster CT150. Pretty sure you can download their manuals CT1502 manual here > https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j ... 4739,d.ZGg

http://www.axminster.co.uk/jet-jpt-260- ... ser-600671 Bed is single unit, cast iron reeded bed, £1300 inc VAT. Hard to beat at the moment

Sharp, clean bits run at the correct speed will not need lubricant. Forstner and sawtooth bits are not designed to run at high speed.

So, 2 sliding, sepparate pieces allowing for the centre gap to be adjusted for maximum support and improved extraction. Adjustment front to back for face planing is harder to achieve and with more accurate setting up, is less necessary. Better to use a plane for this type of work but in the...

The factory in Taiwan will spec the machines the way the customer requires. I would expect the threads to be M33 same as Jet on big machines with the various adapters for those that need.

My carving chisels are a mix of Ashley Isles, Kirschen and old stuff picked up from various private sales over the years. The ones to go to first are the Ashley Isles as they do a great range of fish tails which are so useful. My one gripe is the ferrules have not lasted and have split.
