I usually look out for hardwood furniture at auctions. I got a solid oak drop leaf table for £5. Bit more work but very rewarding

No! Using a digital inclinometer zeroed to the cast iron bed and checking with an engineers square. Thanks for the link to the other thread, I've never found what the spring loaded knob is for either. It doesn't connect or contact to anything. Record Power have been responsive but unable to...

I can't quite get my blade to 45 degrees, its about half a degree short. Very annoying. A simple adjustment I'm sure, but My manual is incomplete and Record Power can't help. I've loosed anything that looks as if it may be a 'stop' but to no avail. Anybody have a manual or remember how to make...

I think this is either Sallow or Goats Willow. Can anybody assist with identification and is it any good for turning? Thanks

I can recommend their bamboo worktops. Best I've seen / used. Heavy though!

Thank you everybody, they are now turning! oddly the top ones were more stuck than the bottom. I'll give it a test tomorrow

Thats interesting, I thought it was a daft system, Mine don't rotate at all, they are a tight fit in the brass holders. I set them a papers width either side of the blade just behind the blade gullet. Thanks for that bit of info!

Of course and rightly so, I never asked them if it would fit, just told them it would, because it does. The assemblies will take 12 weeks to arrive, so interested to know if anyone can recommend replacement blocks for now, or if mine are ok to carry on with considering how scarred they are?

the back of the blade is controlled by bearing, but the sides are guided by the metal unit in the pic above in first post, obviously one either side. So to switch to an all bearing guide, I need to purchase the entire upper and lower system which totals £81 The existing setup seems a little...

Thanks all, I'll have another go at uploading when I've got something bigger than my phone. Coincidentally Axminster came back to me with a quote for the parts in question, they didn't seem bothered it wasn't for one of their machines.

Sorry, I've never once managed to upload a pic to this website.

I have a Blundell SWB4300, a generic design exactly the same as the current Axminster SWB 4300B. My blade guides are solid metal (hope the pic link works), unlike the Axi which has bearings. The fitments are exactly the same however, so I thought I'd 'upgrade' to the Axi guide system. However...

Would rather stand on the plastic ones thanks.....
