I use XERO software to send quotes. Looks fairly pro and easy to generate the document. But it doesn't help with calculating the quote. I used to use a spreadsheet for this and I still do for big jobs, but for small stuff I have a stack of printed 'quick quote forms' with prompts to remind me to...

Another vote for Wealden - excellent service/advice and very high quality products.

Axminster sell this.. https://www.axminstertools.com/axminster-industrial-series-ub-805ckh-extractor-102237 I bought one of the filters as a spare part and fitted it to my cheap old generic single bag dust extractor and it works a treat. I use it on the CNC machine I also run an iTech HEPA...

Thanks for the replies folks. There will definitley be something contractual and the insurance side will be sorted. @adidat .. Yes! The table to a bit ridiculous, but also pretty handy. I can break it down fairly easilly but I have a semi-regular job that requires set up on a level bench of...

Morning all. I'm due to be away for 4 weeks in July/August. A company has asked to hire my workshop while I'm away and set two joiners away in here (I know and trust them both). The question is, how much to charge for such a thing? Monthly w/shop rent to me is £1000 inc VAT Plus around £150...

Sedgwick, all day long. I'd much rather spend some time to fettle up a solid old machine than buy axminster tat. Once you get the fence sorted it'll be ace. If you don't get the current fence working, maybe something like this would do the job?.. Spare Rip Fence Assembly for Table Saw with Rail

If I don't bring in what I need from the EU, where a distributor is based, my next choice is to import it from Taiwan by the container load. Not viable. The EU is a hub for international trade with the UK that we have now lost.

It's a shower of ..... Believe me. I have to bring stuff in from the EU and ship out. The customs hassle is an absolute choke on business from both ends. If you fancy a career change and don't mind admin, then customs brokering is a growing industry, helping companies navigate this mess. P****d...

Remove the existing track mounts on the saw and 3D print some that will work with the Festool/Makita spacing? Maybe use the Makita track saw adapter for design reference?

Another vote for Wood Finishes Direct.. Speedy, reliable service. Their water-based stains are great

Yup. That'd be the way to do it. I considered as much myself having done a quite a few arduino/stepper projects. There's a guy out there on the interweb who has designed one with a 'zero' sensor on the fence face and a simple (ish) keypad. He tried but failed a kickstarter I think. These efforts...

This one caught my eye on FB marketplace recently.. Single phase.. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/358660318539472/?ref=search&referral_code=undefined

Not a fence, but an alternative if you're using makita/festool rails. This will fit your trimmer... https://www.axminstertools.com/makita-rp2301-rt0700-3612c-router-adaptor-to-fit-sp6000-guide-rail-501718?utm_source=tag&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_content=1792&glCountry=GB I use mine on both an...

If you can be parted from your current ear-defenders, these come highly recommended.. https://www.chelfordfarmsupplies.co.uk/stihl-dynamic-ear-protectors-with-bluetooth?utm_source=google_shopping I'm thinking about gettining some myself. My pal has some and reckons they're the dog's knob

EDIT: I now realise that mine never came with anti-kickback fingers, only a tie-bar at each end.

Hmmm.. you guys have talked me into giving the front/back fence another go. Time to fettle it up. Apologies for hijacking your thread with my fence chat George :D

If you know it's what you're after, it's just the same transporting a machine like this locally as nationally. Pallet shipment would be about £70 door to door.

Ouch! Couriers- guaranteed to ruin your day! Cutters wearing and changing dimension. Always good to be aware of. I reckon I'd want to do better then 0.3mm on a decent table saw though. My issue with the front/back clamp fence is that I'm never convinced that it locks itself in the same...
