Had viewed manual and was rather surprised at the retaining system, surprised enough to raise the thread! Oh well, new circlip and washers on their way. I take your point re-stiffening resistance ............

I have problem with up/down mechanism on my table saw - the blade now being fully in up position and not able to lower it. When I realised the saw had failed, I inspected inside and all I could find were a washer and a circlip having appeared to have fallen off the rear of the worm drive shaft...

I have owned a Jet table saw for about 7 years, bought new. I have used the saw to what I would describe as a less than moderate amount It has had its problems, niggly ones until today .............. As I attempted to raise the blade I could feel the shaft turn, but the blade refused to move...

I used a spray whilst in france - 'glissant' - have been meaning to find similar here because it works a treat

Yes, it would seem as though as you say, but I have used this particular supplier for a number of purchases (some on the expensive side) and have no reason to suspect nefarious dealings. When first opening the casing I had the distinct impression that the condition was as it left the factory...

I have the Metabo T/P and find that the changing from one mode to the other can be a real pain and time consuming. This is probably more down to me than the machine, but I find it a total faff when installing the dust extraction unit for planing (which enables microswitch), spending an...

It has been a fair while since last posting, but a story begins (you may wish to ready tissues, for tears that is) I have been using DEWalt for a number of years without any real drama - until now I say now, but it goes back a little way - read on ............. Wednesday (just gone) I needed to...

Blimey!

A couple of questions from a newbie: I am (at last) comeing to the end of the refurb of the kitchen. I have put together a trad style kitchen - base units only as not a fan of wall units - and will need hinges for doors. I gave a thought to hurlinge (is that right?) hinges - no need to cut in -...

I have the Jet 600. Couple of weeks ago the unit failed. Initially it was thought that the problem was the start capacitor, but in fact turned out to be the brake. The unit has been taken away, new motor fitted and returned to me in a week. This was by Timberman of Carmarthen - thank you. I...

I have now answered my own question - you take the bed off the top and go in that way (just in case someone else has similar). Turned out not to be capacitor, now thought to be the brake ...... 'sigh' steve

I need to replace the start capacitor on my t/s (apparently) - have had a quick look at the panels to see how I gain access, but it looks to me as though it needs a complete strip down. Does anyone have a way to gain access to relevant area without a complete strip? (I am a complete muppet when...

I have recently bought the Jet 600 and (up to yesterday when the start capacitor failed - apparently -) I have been very happy with it. Having said that, my last saw was a Fox unit, cheap and very nasty, so anything up the food chain from that has to be an improvement! steve

On June 18th I started ripping out the kitchen in order to do full renovation, and it has been a full renovation! As I intended to build all units, a few weeks back I bought a Jet JTS600 t/s, along with a Metabo th/pl. The th/pl. initially failed to start, although after a little ferreting it...

Hi all I have been reading some of the posts on here re dust extracters and now I am more than a little confused. I have a Jet t/s and a metabo thick/planner which I now need to hook up to an extractor and had been considering the Charnwood 1hp unit (got a £200 budget). Would this be a...
