Because I often have to move machinery around in my shop I mostly I use a free standing 1.5HP similar to Axminster AC82E. Although I have ’plumbed in’ extraction this works the best especially if the distance (pipe) from point of extraction to fan is kept as short as possible. It still doesn’t...

Had one of these for a while....I won’t be buying another one! Biggest issues are: 1. it requires a very powerful extractor 2. The serrated steel drive roller clogs very easily, then marks the timber and is very difficult to keep clear. I tend to run mine with the shop extractor on full and an...

TEKNOS Aquatop is now my ‘go to‘ paint for external joinery. It goes on like water, stays on and I’ve had zero issues since using it 4 years ago.

Greetings I've just finished refurbishing (new bearings, re-surface tables etc.) an Axminster AW106. I've now spent a day setting and adjusting and have things working reasonably well. My question is what is the machine capable of? When thicknessing a 200mm wide board it is out of parallel by...
