Hi Check my post on "Cheap DW 703" Bought one and no problems, nice saw as well :D

Arrived this morning - played a bit and "tweaked" the settings. Seems to be accurate, but the 24 tooth blade will find a home in the tablesaw. Not overly loud either. 60 tooth Freud Pro now installed and cuts coving and pelmet etc. just as good as anything else I have tried. Well pleased

Thanks for all the replies. Pity about the soft start, but, at the money, I'll live with it. Happy with the brake though. BTW - It is OK to buy another saw (just don't tell SWMBO)

Funnily enough I saw the Amazon "offer" :shock: I have purchased and will see what comes, fingers crossed; but I don't foresee any problems Will keep you posted.

You are both thinking what I am. BTW - does anyone use one, does it have soft start and blade braking?

FYI Above saws for sale on ebay for £119.00 - good deal, good saw? I would be interested in buying - any advice?

Hi again Scrit. Good to see you post again. I hope the mine of information doesn't close again. All the best Les

Hi Chippy Thanks for your reply - I will follow this up and maybe get some answers. Thanks again and I will post as to how I got on. Les

Hi I cannot agree on the nice aspect of Makita. I bought a Makita 2704 table saw 12 - 14 months ago and have repeatedly e-mailed and phoned in respect of two problems. I have not even received an acknowledgement. 1. Fence will not lock solid, nor will it run square to the rails. 2. Blade...

The Makita will not disappoint. Yesterday and today I was giving a pal a hand at trimming out a bloody awful new kitchen. The LS 1013 was top notch, easy half degrees, or less, and repeatability. Glass smooth cuts on compound angles. Superb - So good I am trying to convince SWMBO that I...

Hi You can up the BT3000 count to 3 - I have now acquired one and after some rebuilding is just about as close perfect as possible. Well pleased.

I am unsure as to the relevant legislation on the mainland; however, here in NI, anything in a retail premises is on "offer" for sale. Any retailer can decline/refuse to sell anyting to anyone - whether it has a plug or not. I suspect that similar legislation exists on the mainland. I post...

Hi Phil - sorry only just saw your post date. :oops:

Hi. Google "Jake's Chair" or try this link http://www.internetwoodworking.com/w5/chair.html I built 4 of these about 4 years ago from Douglas Fir and used various finishes. The most successful was Ronseal 5 yr Woodstain. All the chairs have lasted well and remain outside all year round...

Hi Thanks for the replies. PaulO - Won't tell Fi about the direct deal, she may be annoyed and as it was a surprise I can't really complain about the price gap - BUT! had I known before and knew what she was up to I could have steered her. Let's not forget - not all SWMBO's are this good...

Hi all Today I am the proud owner of a new router - an early bithday prize from SWMBO. B&Q 15% off - comes out at £210.00ish. Lovely and tight, easily adjusted and needs little or no TLC - NO!!!, the router, but it shows you're thinking One question, which I know Ray (Argee) will answer - how...

Hi Paul In addition to what Scrit has very correctly advised you, be aware that compressed air carries water vapour, normally lots of it at this time of year. Not good for paint finishing. Driers/filters are available for reasonable money. Cheers - and welcome. Les
