I don't dislike Axi prices in general just those which have been increased rather excessively (by 20% and more). Who wouldn't I ask myself. As for the Axminster open day: If I could make it, I would certainly accept Ian Styles hospitality. And I would have no problem telling him face to face...

Alf raises an important point. Providing a means to check in advance is certainly fair and we do not know what Axminsters competitors will do to their prices in 2012. I doubt it'll getting cheaper everywhere else. But some of the prices have gone up rather excessively like the CT150 which will...

I just wish I could start negotiations at 20% less. I will certainly check what they are willing to offer before I buy elsewhere. And of course I had to chose all those machines that go up most. :oops: The PT106 has even gone down a few £. Maybe I won't go for separates. Anyway, I was pretty...

I was planning to outfit a small workshop next summer mostly with Axminster machines. The price for this has just gone up by 20%. "Fair" wasn't exactly my first thought. The planer alone (CT150) which has gone up in price quite a bit this year would be an other 112£ dearer. The TS (AW10BSB2)...

Hi, Narex does 3, 4 and 5mm chisels in their standard range Less than a 10er each at WH. Thorsten

I really have to get faster writing in English :wink: Thorsten

If you take a closer look at the photos you'll notice that measurement was taken somewhere in the middle of the blade. Given the fact that the blades are slightly tapered along their length (see quote) the reading has to be less than the stated width of the chisel. I happen to own four of these...

Hello Rob, sadly I have to ask to be removed from the list. :cry: If the date were mid to end of March as originally intended or even early April, I could have scheduled my planed visit to England accordingly. But though I tried to rearrange my plans since the date is set, it is certain by...

Just to make sure (had PM'd Rob on the original post already): Me too, please. Thorsten

Hi Davin, my personal experience with PTs is with very old cast iron (a long time ago) or Electra-Beckum clones only. Even though there is a Bernardo dealer next town, I have never seen one of these machines in real life exept the Axi ones. I made a habbit out of stopping in Sittingbourne...

Hello Davin, I'm quite sure this is the same machine as the Axminster AW128PT with a different paint job. Someone posted about the Axi here, I think. The same machine is done by Bernardo. Bernardo also does a PT of the same capacities with a table arrangement like the JET machines where you...

30 £ was the Axminster price I bought it for. As mentioned before, it disappeared from their web site after a short while to reemerge recently for double the price. I've been to the UK on Saturday and visited Axminster in Sittingborne. They didn't have the 311-copy on display but a lot of their...

Hello everyone, I've been reading this forum for quite a while now and as I happen to have bought this plane a while ago I felt it was time to join. Axminster already had this plane on their website some months ago but only for a short tme. For half the price, though the screws haven't been...
