If those emails are in your junk folder then it sounds like their junk filtering is working just fine. They keep junk items in a separate folder (rather than deleting them, for example) so you can check it periodically to make sure no "real" emails have been junked.

You'd have to check the sizes, but would something like this do? https://www.axminster.co.uk/flanged-spigots-500181

Axminster have just started selling metal ones. Peter Parfitt has reviewed / unboxed it on YouTube if you want to take a look.

The following empty tool / sorting boxes are free to a good home (FTAGH). They will need to be collected from Durham City, and you can have as many as you want. Unless otherwise stated, the boxes are completely empty. Bosch L-Boxx 102 (I think it's a 102 - it originally came with Bosch...

18v and 20v are the same set of batteries, just measured differently. Those battery packs contain 6 linked together 3v lithium cells. 6x3=18. However, if you measure the voltage of those cells when they're fully charged it'll be around 3.4v. 6x3.4=20.4. The batteries very quickly drop down to 3v...

How do you do your first cut on the second board? You need to flip over the first board, put its first cut over the fingers and the butt your second board upto it. Your first cut on the second board should cut to the edge of the board. It looks like something is going wrong there.

I would go for the FM300BC and if you need more fine filtration get the cartridge to replace the bag. That's what I did and it's a great extractor. RickG - you're not comparing like with like in terms of the RP extractor, it's low volume high pressure whereas the others discussed are high...

Also, I understand the reason for the short channel in the face (they have to maintain the rigidity of the front face and a full channel would compromise that), but I have no idea why the slot narrows to an unusable width when the fence is in its upright position. I've just checked mine and it...

I went for the Axminster Deluxe Rip Fence Upgrade. My main complaint with the original one with the BS350S was the screw locking mechanism which always seemed to move the fence from where I'd set it. The locking lever on the Axminster one doesn't seem to do this, so I'm happy with it.

I have the same bandsaw but use an aftermarket fence. I'll check to see if I've still got the nuts from the old fence and can send you them if I still have them. Might not get a chance to look today, but I'll get back to you soon.

I'd be worried about modifying the riving knife to allow dado cuts with such a new saw. I imagine that would void any warranty. Point taken about it being possible though.

I nearly ordered one earlier today, but was put off by the riving knife / blade guard assembly not supporting dado-like cuts. Fancied making a crosscut sled and cutting grooves with it, but now I'm not sure.

If you check your basket you'll see around 980 (977 when I checked) need to be back ordered. So I guess that means they've got around 20 left.

I have the same bandsaw and have made my own runners for sleds because, as you said, the bs350 mitre slot is annoyingly non-standard. Thin bit of wood or hdpe does the job fine.

Do you mean the Heavy Duty Chip and Dust Collector - 550 Watt - DK7108 or the High Filtration Dust Collector - 50 Litre - DK7109? They have different types of motor, so it'll help to know which one it is.
