Does anyone have any recommendations for a small sliding table saw? In a previous life I had both the 3.2m Griggio and Altendorf machines. I have been looking at the likes of the Record power machine at about £1300 but am wondering about the accuracy and quality. I haven' actually seen one in...

Does anyone have a makita ls1018? I got one of these last week from axminster and don't know whether i am being picky! When the blade slows down, at the last 2/3 revs the blade moves from side to side almost as if there is a wobble washer in in it, it's not much but clearly visible. The sliding...

Anybody got any ideas to give that old look to an Oak side board made in American Oak. I was recommended to use crystals but am having problems with consistancy (patchy), even though its the same mix. I have tried some dyes but not quite found the right colour and I tend to mess that up as well...
