Of all my bench mounted tools, my Bench Grinder is the one that gets the most use.. I have gradually upgraded my tools over the years but still have a small, cheap grinder which works well, but I wonder if I can do better. To be fair, it works fine... Spins up quickly and I have a load of...

Incase it helps anyone.. They are back in stock and have been all week and have not sold out yet. I ordered 2 and as I feared (expected?) one of them has been mishandled and has a bent base.. But the other seems fine..

I was going to add this to the Aldi Bandsaw thread, but it hasn't been updated in months, so I hope you don't mind me starting a new thread. After missing out on the Aldi Bandsaw in Dec/Jan as I was moving, it came up again (And as of today is still in stock).. I ordered one for me and a friend...

Does anyone have a manual?

I worked it out in the end.. The main drive wheel has 2 grooves.. The smaller outer one and the larger inner one. I was running the belt in the smaller grove and when I moved it, not only did the saw speed up, the speed control mechanism worked too. So I just have to find out the purpose of...

I put the saw back together yesterday and its working perfectly.. It might be a bit ugly. And I am not even sure if its designed that well.. But I have to admit that its works well.. And to be fair, the first cuts I did with minimum "setup", cut 1000x better than on the Axmister that I...

I dont think that i did too bad.. Other than the threaded botl, it seems pretty much complete..i got my Tuffsaw blades today so will rebuld the sa at the weekend and will see how it goes. I paid over he odds for sure, but i think that once it running it wont be too bad. Will send you a PM as i...

Thats very kind of you.. The only part that I know is broken right now is the "knob" to change the angle of the bed.. The plastic part is broken and I found the bits in the box so it happened in transit.. But in truth, iits just a nut and I could use a spanner.. AND.. I have a 3D printer, so I...

I know them. They were very helpful when i was looking for a belt for my pilar drill... I will take the beltin and see what they think of it. Cheers

Instructions? You dont by chance have a soft copy do you? Are you saying that the instructions say that you have to tighten/check the top bolt after changing the speed?

I do have one question.. As i understnad it, when you change the speed, the motor pivots on its top mounting bolt.. Assuming you change the speed lots, surely this would loosen the top bolt? I guess you could keep nipping it up? But is this really how it works? I wonder if you could use...

Cheers. The belt is tiny (perhaps 6x4mm).. Not something found in a car so autofactors won't be able to help.. I think its a "Y-Section" and if so, should be easy to source from a belt/bearing specialist. And I think the bearings are simply a standard too.. Just pressed onto a shaft.. Going to...

The bolt which is threaded is Part 59.. This is a 6mm bolt, so I have now "upgraded" it to 8mm. The part I am missing is 7.. I think its just a washer.. But I can't be sure. On the subject of the other parts.. I don't actually need them.. I was more interested in the availability of...

Mine still has the stickers so i can see what its showing.. I wa mre interested whether the "guage" was simply an indicator? Or whether to had any moving prts that you have to use to change the speed, Now that i have looked closer, i can see how it works, so hopefully it will all be OK when i...

I think I have worked it out.. The V-Pulley is in 2 parts.. And the lower 1/2 (closest to the motor) moves down the shaft.. Allowing the belt to drop lower into the 'V' adjusting the gear ratio. So I guess i just need to ensure that lower 1/2 of the pulley moves smoothly. The bit I don't...

I have just taken a chance on a B&D BD-339 Bandsaw off eBay and it arrived today and its a bit of a mess unfortunately. I have no doubt that its salvageable but in its current condition I fear I paid over the odds.. But it was a gamble so I just need to move on. The biggest problem is that the...

In the end, I went for the HBS250N, and was entirely unimpressed with it especially considering the £250 price tag.. After a week of playing, I drew the conclusion that it was faulty, but I was so underwhelmed with the overall build, that I took a refund instead of replacement.. I figured that...

Axminster got back to me.. Incase this helps someone in the future, here are the dimensions Base: 405 x 235 Height: 820 Bed Height: 370 Bed Overhang (Left/Right): 130/170mm Compared to the 205 which is Base: 335 x 220 Heigh: 680 Bed Height: 290 Its a fair bit bigger.

Nope..i have those dimensions.. What i need is details of the saw excluding the pedistal. I want to mount this on a bench so will not heed the ped.

You arn't wrong.. But they don't have these details.. And have to go to the shop.. And I figured if I could find an owner, they might be able to give me more info... But I am trying both approaches
