Perhaps its not my adapter then? dont suppose that you noticed if they were with a standard saw and adapter or with the plunge saw?

Without meaning to be blasé i don't really care if they do or do not approve of the saw. For me personally it will see just as much use out of work as it would at work, but it would just make life so much easier at work! I was merely offering the OP what could be an alternate route 'so to...

Sorry got carried away there... Hopefully someone from that side of the pond will correct me? But my first guess would be no electric brake?? Hence why i think getting it OKed as a grinder may be the best way forward if its for work use!

Just to throw my tuppence into the mix since i'm also weighing up importing either the Skilsaw 'Lightweight' SPT 77 or the Makita Hypoid saw. Both of which i might add are still competitively priced against UK bought saws even when you include shipping and import duties! I am really leaning...

Surprised no one has replied yet! I must say that's a pretty ingenious router lift, hope ya misses doesnt get a flat anytime soon though :D

Finally, got pics resized! With hindsight i probably shouldn't have bothered with making the outfeed end of the fence any longer than the cast table, but at least its easier to cut it down than to add extra :lol: Locks nice and tight, with minimal pressure on the lock handle. I can easily...

Max file size is only 256Kb, either im restricted being a new member, (low post cont) or this forum is really out dated? I will try and get some pics posted from the main computer this evening. I can't resize the photos from my phone

That axminister deluxe fence looks a lot better in that thread than the images on their site! No wonder it's always on sale (£86 atm) as it looks like just another sub-standard factory fence on their site! It's still a little short for my requirements though and i probably wouldn't be able to...

Does anyone have some advice on trying to find a decent aftermarket Fence and rail system to replace the OEM fence on a portable table saw? Ideally a 40" rail, Good strong lock, Remains true without needing to be re-aligned every time you breathe on it like the factory fence does! Its as if...

I'd be tempted at a 10" Festool for £450+vat (£540 inc)... but not everyone can get it at that kind of price and some people, (me included) dislike buying online from 'bobs online building tools' because of the hassle if it needs to go back for whatever reason! Buy from a shop and if anything is...

Yes, it's also double his budget price, and he's already said that it's not going to get heavy regular use! Even i can't justify the cost of most Festool products and I'm a professional that uses these tools quite heavily!

Sorry MikeJhn, i think i miss read your post! I doubt you will find anything relative on HSE, most H&S deals directly with the machine, not attachments/user modifiable parts! However if a blade is included with the machine it must be tested as safe to use during the overall testing (if that...

Right... Looking at the 4 upper left images as they are the most relevant to you (working anticlockwise): Positive hook/rake: The tip of the tooth points forward, this is used for a saw where the blade cuts the work piece on the down stroke ie. The rotation of the blade traps the wood between...

Mike Yes but that is dangerous! The rake on a tablesaw blade is designed so the blade pushes down on the table, i.e. towards the spindle. That on a mitre saw also pushes down on the table, but that is away from the spindle. The teeth are raked differently and should not be interchanged. I...

Get anything below 10" you will regret it! Unless you want it specifically for small work like beading, bath stud, picture rails etc. That saw is more than accurate enough for roughing out work and first fix type stuff though

It was second, maybe 3rd hand when I got it and had definitely been used as a site saw by its previous owner. So I was over the moon it was actually still so accurate to start with. I had not long stripped the bed down to de-sawdust it and had forgotten to bolt it back down to its station...

Really sorry in advance if this turns out like a hijack, but needing a little urgent advice and this was the nearest active topic on mitre saws... My trusty old Makita LS1013 packed up over the weekend... well i say packed up, more like destroyed itself!! :cry: :cry: From what i can figure...

Old post I know... I was on the Google box trying to find why the bed on the new version is half the size now and came across the image of your bent knob (snigger, snigger!!) Was de-ja-vu. The one in our workshop has had a bent knob since about 3 weeks after it arrived and the has been no issue...

Funnily enough I phoned them about that on Friday. (I'll just mention that they were exceptionally helpful!) Granted they are happy to arrange a deal on alternate machines but would be nowhere near as good value as the advertised package! I just want to correct myself... Just now whilst...

I don't have any real preference for Fox, other than the fact my (to my knowledge only) outlet up here does deal with them so would be easier for me to get my dusty little hands on. Yea, yea online sales etc but some people like to go into a shop and speak to someone in person, especially when...
