I have had the AC254TS for about 8 weeks, so not a lot of use yet. So far, so very good. I came from used Scheppach contractor saw, also with an induction motor, so I have not noticed a huge noise reduction. It is a little quieter - I think. It appears that I was much luckier than af999...

Thank you. I had that completely round the wrong way.:(

I have a 254mm table saw arriving today (Axminster AC254TS) and I already have 2 brand new Freud 250mm blades. I am assuming that, other than reduction in cutting depth, there is no problem in using these blades in the saw, or is that wrong? Other than a slightly increased blade speed, due to...

I got mine from here: https://www.threadedpipeandfittings.co.uk/ They were very helpful. They advised a red oxide coating as the black pipe can mark the wood.

Many thanks for the suggestions. I have to use the existing hinges as they were custom made for the shape of the gates. The lower hinge uses a spiked bolt, about 140mm (and I have bought a new one) but the upper hinge has a threaded bolt that goes all the way through the 250mm post. It is a...

That sounds doable. Thanks.

Pretty accurate so that the two driveway gates will line up. I had to Google "Scotch eye auger"😁, never seen one before but that does look a lot easier to control than a power drill. Thanks

Thanks. I really like the second idea.

I am replacing a rotted gate gate post. It is 250mm square and 2100mm high,above ground, 2800mm overall,. I am trying to work out how to drill the hinge bolt holes keeping them straight and parallel to the ground. I don't want to drill them before I install the post as I don't believe that I...

There is a guy on Facebook that 3D prints custom adapters to order. I don't know his prices as I have never inquired. https://www.facebook.com/CustomVacAdaptersUK/

Forgive me lads, I got this completely wrong. I had thought that my 240v Dewalt rotated clockwise, coming down on the piece. Seeing these comments made me pop down to the garage, in my PJs, to look, and they are both the same! I got confused by the new saw having the motor on the "other" side. 😌

Sorry, should have mentioned the model. It is a Dewalt DCS391, 165mm blade. Photo attached of saw with blade that came with it.

Beginners question. Just bought a cordless circular saw and surprised to see that the blade spins clockwise, cutting up from underneath the wood. There is obviously a good reason for that, but Google didn't help. Not a problem, just curious.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of those sort of physical constraints. Someone pointed me to a website run by Bill Pentz that I am now slowly working my way through.

Thanks. That's what I thought. Back to the drawing board.
