Thanks chaps. I'll have a play later his week and report back. Cheers

Ps i also toyed with the portable saw option. I was leaning towards the bosch one that competes with the dewalt one mentioned but the noise put me off in the end. The induction motor makes a big difference and the cast iron table has a nice industrial feel rather than a DIY feel to it.

Hi all, I've not had a chance to really test the Charnwood, but I did have a few issues when setting up. For example, I had to get the fence clamp replaced as it wasn't square. Charnwood were very good. They posted the new part without any quibbles and seemed quite open to discussing my other...

I have the Axminster Numatic NV 750

I'm just setting up my cleaning now. I have a three pronged approach 1 use a mid range 0.5 micron Hoover with fixed pipe work to each bit of kit. I got mine from Axi. 2 have a keep and cheerful Henry type Hoover for wet and dry stuff and screws, nails and other not so nice items 3 install a...

Are you thinking of the w619's big brother the w650. The w619 i got is only £427 so the same as the Axi as200 now they've put their prices up.

Yes, it's like those two. But is half the price of the kity and unlike the axi "hobby horse" has wheels and a removable extension table so it doesn't take up too much room when not in use. Also at 90kg all in its a bit more sturdy than those 2 Delivery due tomorrow....

Right, I've just bought the W619. I'll do a full review of the setup and my early findings (with photos) once delivered. Watch this space.....

What did you end up buying Tatcho? Did you go with the Charnwood w619? Would love to hear what you went with and why...

No, I couldn't make my mind up so put my decision on hold. That said I need to buy one now so I'm looking again. I can't believe there is no such thing as a small accurate table saw. Seems to be a hole in the market. Why can't Axmister or someone make a small but high quality saw. The TS 200 is...

:D Amusing. We're having an extension built on the side of the house and the downstairs part was intended to be 2 rooms - a workshop and a utility room. Part way through the build I got the green light to make it all one workshop so if I now went back to the other half claiming I need a shed as...

Tempting offer Richard, but new I can get this for £275 and so given I live the other end of the country the delivery costs would offset a large chunk of the saving. Hopefully someone local to you can benefit from your sale.

Thanks Steve, I get the idea. I can see that working for some but not for me. I'll have workbenches either side of the saw to act as supports and one will have a flip stop so I wouldn't want to have these extended out as well. At the moment the hitachi C12RSH looks to be my best bet, although I...

It looks lovely, but at £850 for the KS88 and £1,200 for the KS120 I just cant justify that sort of outlay on something that technically you could do with a £4.99 saw from B&Q :D

Thanks Misterfish, There is hope :lol: Three great options - cheers for the insight! The Hitachi C12RSH looks to be a nice saw for about £600 and has a clever rail system, which you can see in action on Youtube. The dimensions given by Hitachi show it as 3' deep but I wonder if that is with...

Hi John, Unfortunately I can't extend the benches as the room is quite narrow and it would encroach on the walkway. Swinging the arm into the 45 degree position will help a tad but not enough. Cheers

Hi all, I’m looking to buy a mitre saw that will be fixed to a workshop bench that is up against a wall. The bench is just over 2’ deep and I don’t really want the saw hanging off the front too much as I will be walking past it a lot and will no doubt bash into it every time. Ideally I was...

Perhaps it's just me but in my mind tablesaws and bandsaws are optimised for different tasks. Given what I intend to do I think a table saw would be a better bet. You can rip and cross cut on a bandsaw but not sure it's the best technique. I'm sure this topic has been discussed 1,000 times...

A month has gone by so I thought I'd ping this topic to the top as no one on the planet seems to have any reviews of the Charnwood w619. Surely there must be someone out there with one who can provide some feedback? Note: I am not referring to its big brother the w650. There is a lot of...

Hi Rob - unless I'm missing something there is quite a lot of difference betweenthe w619 and the w650 you have. I can see you love your 650 :lol: The 619 has got a smaller saw, an inferior fence (single screw thread to lock and no micro adjustment), and a very different rail for the fence to...
