My 6 ft 70w fluorescent light just gave out today (I think the tube was still soldering on, as it was the holder that had given up). Replaced it with an 18 W 4200L led from Screwfix (£22) which only took a couple of minutes to install and is a vast improvement. I suppose it ought to be as the...

The Charnwood extractor has a 16a plug, if that's significant for you, whereas Fox's similar 2hp variant runs off 13a. It's a decent price at around £250 ish and f you have concerns about the brand it has a 3yr guarantee.

I built a cabinet around mine with an extractor on the back panel which reduced the total amount a fair bit but it was still a long way from eliminating the dust problem. It appeared that some of the dust was hitting the back panel and eddying back out. There was enough coming out to dust...

Amongst others, Sika make a number of specialist adhesives for parquet flooring - though all of them are pretty expensive. They give a fair bit of open time but once set the bond is extraordinarily strong. I once had to move a single parquet tile that had set overnight; it took bolsters and a...

Meant 10" replacement. :oops:

Is there going to be an 8" replacement for the old TS 250? I thought that model had been deleted and was unavailable but it's now showing up as 'low stock'.

I believe Axminster have indicated that their new Craft saws will be available early February. They might well be - but they've already missed a few projected dates for delivery.

That looks terrific lit up. There's a lot of pieces involved so I was wondering how long it took to assemble it? Does it all stay put and does anybody or anything brushing against it potentially lead to hours/days/weeks of endless re-setting?

I'll second that - excellent blades and helpful advice from cutting-solutions.

As others have pointed out it's really surprising that none of the major manufacturers have latched onto the problem of dust collection in general, and your idea in particular. The unit cost of attaching something like the dust hood to their machines would be relatively trivial and in any case...

Can anybody tell me whether the dust extraction modification from page 1 would also be applicable to the generic Axy Trade/Charnwood/iTech/Scheppach range of 10" table saws? These all have enclosed cabinets and some reviewers have commented that dust extraction (as usual!) is pretty poor in...

Got one for £605 last month with the help of one of Ebay's £50 voucher offers.

Just received the same model today from Kendal's (ordered yesterday afternoon-arrived at lunchtime). Thought bag hanging might be a battle but was pleasantly pleased to get it attached in a couple of minutes with the aid of three strips of duck tape. I've added the Charnwood CF2024 Cartridge...

Clearly an absolute master of a demanding craft but for my taste the intricate and sometimes overblown marquetry often detracts from the underlying pieces. The trompe l'oeil stuff might be clever and technically outstanding but some of it looks pretty gimmicky and even ugly.

It probably isn't, but it's one of those 'site' saws that confines itself to wandering no further than one foot in any direction within my garage. :wink:

I've had a similar problem on an ageing, but otherwise surprisingly accurate, site saw. Got a local metal fabricator to make an exact replica of the aluminium table top in 20mm steel and I've now got a completely flat surface with no dip around the blade. As it's got a 12" blade there's still...
