Thanks, have sent you a pm!

Hi there, I'm looking for a dovetail jig, preferably Leigh or equivalent as I already have the trend one for half blind, thanks!

Sideways - thank you so much for sharing this - it's absolutely invaluable information you wouldn't get elsewhere!! I'm going to go for it and if / when the motor wears out then I'm covered for less than a third of the cost for a new one :) Many thanks again, B

Hi all, I've been looking for a decent compact extractor and was looking at the Mirka 1230 L - my workshop is pretty small so compactness is important. I've been offered a used Bosch GAS 25 though for literally half the price of the Mirka so wanted to ask if it's a good unit or if there's...

That's what I'm hoping! I'll report back when it comes, around middle of July .. One more thought I had was to move the drive belt on to the larger diameter drive wheel on the motor - I guess this would make the blade slower but give it more torque .. Argh - all I wanted to do was cut some wood...

Hi Bob, thanks for your reply. I totally agree, I have no wish to modify this but I am thinking to replace the motor, primarily because it used to cut so much better so I know it's capable of cutting soft pine at more than 1mm/sec speed .. Cheers B

Ok, new saw blade, set up and wheels spinning freely, new start run capacitor, still not cutting 2" pine at any more than 1mm per second .. should I go for a new motor? :/

I checked this before when I was setting up the guide bearings but no harm in checking again :) A little bit of targeted vacuuming wouldn't hurt I'm sure ..

I have another brand new blade for the saw so I'll put that on to take the existing teeth out of the equation and make sure the back bearing won't allow the blade to go back too far. I'm not feeding any faster than before, if anything I'm feeding twice as slowly .. also if I try to get even a...

Hi there, thanks for the replies! I bought new blades from Tuffsaws, the one I have on at the minute is a 3TPI and it's not helping much :/ It did indeed cut 18mm MDF before without any quibbles, it's balking at soft pine now :( I also adjusted all the guide bearings at the same time to...

HI all, I've been lurking for a while and reading loads of good stuff and was wondering if anyone had an idea about this .. I have a HBS250N bandsaw from Axminster which is now complaining about even 18mm MDF so am going through the motions of getting a new motor. I spoke to Axminster and...
