have you sorted the fence out on yours ? if so was it after market or self made ? that sheppach is out of my price range i think. just had expensive car bill so money not what it was. do you know if the bigger charnwood has similar trouble with the fence ? polewood is a great site by the way :-)...

well a bit of both really :) i like the grizzly and i am swayed towards that if i am honest as it has a 2hp motor and i hear great things about there fence system as well which is important as i started with a clarke 10 inch (enough said) but we all have to start some where :-( but i have taken...
