Hi Martin - I emailed you earlier to explain that my hard drive gave up the ghost on the Sunday that I collected my saw, so I'm catching up with things and noticed you've been having a few problems with your Hegner. When you were talking about vibration on the other thread, how bad is it? As you...

Well done on the sales Mark, it's fantastic to design and build things that other people appreciate and are actually prepared to pay for. You keep posting the pics as I, like most others here, do like to see other peoples creations. All the best Phil

Sounds like really good stuff Geof and good fun designing and making up the jigs. I really look forward to seeing your results. I'm in the market for some 1/4" bits for detailed miniature profiling work and there's not really a lot of choice out there. I know Trend have their DH range, so may...

Thank you Eugene - haha you're right there. I've bought all of my tools from the auction site over the last few months and to be honest, I don't know if my nerves will hold out much longer! I've managed to get some real bargains but plenty of disappointments along the way too. I'll be glad when...

For what it's worth here's my take on this, fashions come and go (look at what's happened to brown furniture and the rise of shabby chic), you can't please all of the people all of the time, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it's simply a case of horses for courses. Well done to Mac for...

Thanks Martin - I was a bit shaky for a good few minutes afterwards, as I really didn't expect to win it! Bit of a good fortune as I have a favourite Aunt who lives in Weston Turville, just outside Aylesbury, so picking the saw up on Sunday Morning then off for a spot of free lunch. Bonus!

That's a lovely bit of kit Geoff - It will be pure pleasure using it I bet. Out of my budget for now but one day............... What are you making and what bits are you using?

Seconded!

Hi there - I have to hold my hands up and admit it was me who bought the saw for £539 so I really do hope it's worth it. I initially put in a bid of £250 and promised myself that I wouldn't/couldn't go above £400 (price of a new AWFS18) ............but............cometh the hour it already felt...

Hi Steve - I'm also doing the garage reconstruct, well as far as I can. I've bought some double glazed patio doors (cheaper than MDF per square foot) from the old auction site and getting my tools together at decent prices. What i've found though is that every time I think I've nailed it a new...

Wise words Noel. Nick Gibbs and Erik the Viking! Whilst 'Caveat Emptor' has quite rightly been superceded in law by the Sale of Goods Act, it's still a useful principle for buyers to stick to. The other is the old adage 'Buy in haste, repent at leisure' (this can also apply to marriage as I...

A bit too far North for me I'm afraid Jon, otherwise I'd love to have come, but what a lovely gesture. I hope you have a brilliant day!

This is obviously a contentious subject and as a newbie I don't want to besmirch my own character by going against the grain, but I'm still with Prizen on this issue. I agree with Peter Gee that Distance Selling Regs are totally irrelevant in this instance, but the law is still in Prizen's...

Eloquently said Sam and I do agree that it's Prizen's responsibility to get the saw back for a refund. Very kind of you too to offer a bit of stabling along the way. I envy you your green and pleasant land and as for the M25........just don't go there! All the best.

The Romans certainly knew how to build! They were extremely competent in just about all they did and the saw(s) that were used in the construction of that cradle were complex/iron bladed and would be totally recognisable today. The Greeks paved the way and the Romans perfected things. Check out...

Sammy, I'm a newbie here and certainly wouldn't want to stir up a hornet's nest as to why others may have left the forum in the past. Regretfully I've never had the opportunity to pack my rods and head over your way for some decent fishing, so can't comment on the travelling there, but here in...

Miles Tool and Machinery are selling the same saw, Bosch GTS10 for £449.99. They charge £22 for delivery to the ROI and that's all including VAT. You can get a stand for £50. That's a total of £522. Personally I wouldn't want a replacement saw from your supplier, I'd want a full refund even if I...

Thanks Eric - I have an older Dremel knocking about somewhere but have read some pretty unflattering reviews of their drill stands. I don't think the Dremel will fit in the Proxxon stand (much better reviews) so in all probability this is going on my shopping list. Thanks AES - You would not...

Cheers Joiner, but the warnings too late!

I'm afraid I don't know much about the saw, but I do know about the law and when I'm being ripped (scuse the rhyme and pun) off. You really must return it. If I spent £200 on something, I wouldn't accept having to bodge it to make it work properly, let alone £800!!!! From what I've seen this is...
