The 5/16 unc worked perfectly thanks for the info. My next question is what size stop/start switch do I need for this same saw, it has a 1.1kw motor.

Hi sorry to drag up an old thread LanksRick I was just wondering if you can remember the belt sizes as I'm needing replacements and cant find reference to the size anywhere.

Thanks I will try the 5/16ths unc and see where that takes me..

Thanks Tom as soon as I get saw out into the WS I will take a better look, i cant find reference to those bolts anywhere every other part i can find.

Hi could anyone tell me what size bolts are used to fix the table to the base on a startrite ta175 table saw? Thanks

Thankyou for the advice, as I could use a bigger compressor I think I will try the needle gun hopefully that does the job.

Hi I am needing to have a painted brick wall dashed, my problem is what to do about the paint. I have tried a wire wheel in a grinder and it just seems to be melting the paint not removing it. I've tried a flap disc in the grinder and its eating through the discs and smoothing the brick too...

Hi Emstuv before I bought my P/T from Axminster I asked on this forum about aftermarket cutters and I'm sure someone said they would be ok in fact probably better quality at a lesser price. As long as they seat properly I'm sure they will be fine.

Hi and sorry for asking on the OP,s thread I would like to ask Steve if his tutorial DVD,s are available in any other format. Thanks

Thanks all for your thoughts, I have read that the clay (cob) ovens are great but need to be protected from the rain or wont last too long. I'm still trying to find out if engineering bricks will be good enough for the dome.

That's a great looking oven Tony, I can imagine you have had some great pizzas and bread from that. ive seen that idea of the bottles in the base, I might use that method. I believe the round dome ovens with lower height have a quicker heat up time of around 1 hour. More research before I take...

Thanks Bob yes that is the type of oven I'm thinking of. Not so common over here well at least not up North. Would the chimney not stop any pressure build up. I'm hoping the engineering bricks will be ok for the dome as I have read they are heated up to quite high temperatures during the...

Hi I am thinking of building a Pompeii oven and doing a little research on build materials. Due to the price of fire bricks I was planning on using them only for the oven floor and using engineering bricks for the dome. Has anyone built a similar oven and what materials did you use. Thanks

I enquired about this saw last week and received a reply from them that this saw was out of stock and they stressed there was a Very very lengthy lead time on new stock. But as I'm in no real rush I think I will wait for them to come in.

I recently purchased the harvey bandsaw from axminster which requires a 16amp feed.it is a tad over budget but worth the extra imo It's not done a lot of work yet but what I have done I'm more than happy with it and for your resawing needs it should handle no problem.
