Hi, cant see you having any problems with fine work,the 571 is very precise and you can limit the travel in pretty much any direction you like. In truth I cant see how it could be made any better-its built like a tank! I would guess the counter weight weighs about forty kilos,but I'm away from...

Hi, I bought the sedgwick a few months ago,its a great machine,easy to set up simple and dependable.Like Scrit says,it will still be working in twenty or thirty years time! Chris

How can something thats so right, be so wrong!? I started off with four K bodies and now have TWENTY!.I find it helps to shut my eyes when it comes to handing over the cash. That aside they are just the best and a joy to use-no regrets! Chris

Flimsy both! in my opinion Buy British sir!

A decent chuck can improve the machine greatly,but on cheap machines the castings tend to be flimsy and not very acurately machined.Also any locking bolts seem to be maid of very soft steel so they strip easily. At the end of the day you can spend a couple of hundred pounds on a drill that cost...

Trying to point the man in the right direction,and probably winding a few owners of other table saws up(i shall dive behind cover!) Chris

No particular horror stories,but after seeing and using drills from the likes of machine mart and others and being very disappointed I think its only right to point out that for a similar price you can buy a second hand meddings,fobco,ajax(scrit) which are built to industrial standards and will...

Sedgwick TA315 and more than proud of it!!!!!! BOMB PROOF BRITISH engineering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adam, please don't buy the foreign (stuff) buy a second hand startrite or sedgwick.These machines are of industrial capacity,you will not regret buying the right machine,believe me!

Everybody,please dont buy cheap and nasty modern pedestal drills,buy meddings or fobco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.No contest,No argument,dont even try!!!!!

Yeh pretty suprised myself!.You just assume theyre there!

Yup, TA 315 its a beast!.Noticed after I got it home that it doesnt have any mitre slots,guess I shall have to do some mods to allow the use of a tenoning jig with the sliding table. If anybody wants a simple but heavy duty saw look no further than the sedgwick!!!!!!

I have just bought a sedgewick,and its proper heavy duty,the way British machinery used to be made! Chris

Hi everybody!. Does anybody know where to pick up new sedgwick table saws at a reasonable price?.Thanks Chris

Hi, I have a memory foam mattress, it also is fully sprung.The foam is about three inches thick.I have to say its the best bed I have ever slept in!.If memory serves it cost about £750 ish

Neil, If you are after a good saw ,I don't think there is any better than these about.I think you are better off sighting off the edge of the blade,you know for certain where the cut is going to take place.As I said before I think lasers are a bit of a sales gimmick. Chris

No mine is about two years old,we had to touch the blade on the pencil lines back then. I can never see the point of using lasers because the lines always look too thick to me

Sorry when I said stretcher,the stretcher runs the length of the table and is centraly mounted so all the grain runs in the same direction.

Hi everybody I am just about to finally glue my oak table top to its stretcher bar and legs.The timber was allowed to acclimatize in my lounge for about two months before machining.I then glued the boards up to make the top and the legs.The timber then sat in my lounge for perhaps another couple...

Hi, I use pledge furniture polish on my P/T and it works a treat.By the way if you have laminate floors in the house keep the above well away from it ,cause it turns them into a death trap!
