I have problem with up/down mechanism on my table saw - the blade now being fully in up position and not able to lower it. When I realised the saw had failed, I inspected inside and all I could find were a washer and a circlip having appeared to have fallen off the rear of the worm drive shaft...

I have owned a Jet table saw for about 7 years, bought new. I have used the saw to what I would describe as a less than moderate amount It has had its problems, niggly ones until today .............. As I attempted to raise the blade I could feel the shaft turn, but the blade refused to move...

It has been a fair while since last posting, but a story begins (you may wish to ready tissues, for tears that is) I have been using DEWalt for a number of years without any real drama - until now I say now, but it goes back a little way - read on ............. Wednesday (just gone) I needed to...

A couple of questions from a newbie: I am (at last) comeing to the end of the refurb of the kitchen. I have put together a trad style kitchen - base units only as not a fan of wall units - and will need hinges for doors. I gave a thought to hurlinge (is that right?) hinges - no need to cut in -...

I need to replace the start capacitor on my t/s (apparently) - have had a quick look at the panels to see how I gain access, but it looks to me as though it needs a complete strip down. Does anyone have a way to gain access to relevant area without a complete strip? (I am a complete muppet when...

Hi all I have been reading some of the posts on here re dust extracters and now I am more than a little confused. I have a Jet t/s and a metabo thick/planner which I now need to hook up to an extractor and had been considering the Charnwood 1hp unit (got a £200 budget). Would this be a...

I am in process of refurbing the kitchen, and am prepping to fit finish to windows. I intend to insert shrouds rather than give a plaster finish. What would be the best solution - MDF or timber? At the moment I am favouring making shrouds in MDF, stable and gives a good paint finish. Any...

I am looking to start a kitchen rebuild and was thinking of using Poplar to frame the units with MDF for panels - this was to be a painted finish. I have been quoted (I think) a bit of a high price for the poplar, so, can anyone recommend a cheaper way (and does anyone have a current price for...

OK, have now bought new saw (from Timberman Carmarthen, thanks Digit), a Jet JTS 600. Delivered Thursday and not touched since! Before I get to the 'hands on' stuff, has anyone got any cautionary tales or suggestions re set up (the same goes for a Metabo thick/planer which is still in its box)...

I am looking for my next table saw. It is, initially, to help me with renovation of our 'new' house, produce kitchen units etc., but hopefully will also see me through the next 2-3 years to produce reasonable furniture My last saw was a Fox unit, much like the Ryobi 1526 I suppose, what I refer...
