Hello raffo, thanks for replying !!! I already saw this video when it was released and I agree it is very interesting, but still did not find answer to my questions, anyhow thankyou again !

Also when I first tried inserting a bit in the hand brace drill I found out that even the 1/4" bit tang was too big for the jaws of my chuck, what a disappointment .... Luckily enough I found a cheap chuck in the shop just around the corner and for a couple of pounds i managed to came in...

This is new from my daily recognition on ebay.co.uk : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jet-table-sa ... SwL~FbeBzL I would love this kind of saw and it is in the budget :cry:

Thankyou for your reply MikeJhn, I've gone through the link and have read all the topic about the Axi saw, and I have to say that I'm slowly changing my mind about the TS-250, from what I see/read it is a more than decent saw :wink: . At 540£ (plus eventually shipping ) the saw is anything...

I think that an adjustable mouth is quite a good feature to have, what do you guys think ? And if I go for this feature I'd probably choose the 073 with is 1-1/4" iron, or should I go for a bigger (074) or smaller (072) iron ? From a functional point of view the Preston 1368C is equal to the...
