I haven't been on this forum for quite some but found myself with half an hour to spare so thought I'd have a quick catch up. All was pretty much as ever until I came accross the pallet table thread. I was quite taken aback by the level of ridicule that piece attracted. I don't care if it was...

Does anybody else have any experience with these saws? Just interested to hear others opinions. I have just bought a new one and have used it for a week now and I have to say it's the best (for me) circular saw I have used in30 years. Blade on the left so for a right handed user the view of the...

This was originally shown on BBC TV back in the seventies. Ronnie Barker could say all this without a snigger (though god knows how many takes). Irony is that they received not one complaint. The speed of delivery must have been too much for the whining herds. Try getting through it...

evening all! Just a quick and, hopefully, simple enquiry. Can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier of drive belts for a startrite 18-T-10 bandsaw? The one that is fitted at the minute is beginning to look a little ragged around the edges. Thanks in advance for any help received...
