    Yet another Startrite TA275 Query..

    in my case, the scale is inset into the sliding table and not attached to the fence at all, which is attached to the table via two holes that form part of the casting. I’ll photograph tomorrow for posterity of anyone who may like to use this thread as reference in the future. I also forget to...

    Yet another Startrite TA275 Query..

    Thanks all, I had been browsing the manual via ALT (Shark) spares and like TTree above had not found any relevant information pertaining to the "tool kit" but Deema has clearly answered what I had already assumed. In my case, this is indeed where I found the shorter bar for extending the sliding...

    Yet another Startrite TA275 Query..

    Hello All, I recently traded my Sedgwick TA315 in in favour of a TA 275. I'd owned one previously and much preferred it, so when the chance came to literally exchange one for the other, I took it. Mine is the all-singing deluxe version, the DS with sliding table, in incredibly good condition for...

    Record Power Sabre 350 - A minor rant; or things you should be aware of when purchasing.

    O'Chippy: It was nice to get it off my chest! For the price point, I think it would be hard to beat, the Felders/Hammers are as far as I can tell, a re-badged version of the same saw, perhaps with one or two modifications. I actually wanted to buy a used saw at the time of purchase but my...

    Record Power Sabre 350 - A minor rant; or things you should be aware of when purchasing.

    I have had my RP Sabre 350 for five years now, purchasing shortly after initial release. I should quickly note that I was in the trade when I first purchased and although that is currently not the case, it has effectively had continual daily use in that time. I have also owned and operated a...

    Yet another Bandsaw thread

    I drove down earlier and looked. Just about fit for turning into coke tins.

    Yet another Bandsaw thread

    Yea, I've been playing with it all day in terms of moving it around, it's already on castors thankfully. Not helped by my uneven floor but that's another issue altogether. I've windows on three sides with some rather fine views which is making things slightly problematic, the one wall that has...

    Yet another Bandsaw thread

    I'm with you now, it's the overall footprint I have issue with, rather than table size. To my eye, the saw on stilts looks like it's taking up less room than the compact machine but it's only a visual anomaly. There's an EB 315 much like the photo for sale not a million miles away from me, which...

    Yet another Bandsaw thread

    I’m not entirely clear how tilting the table in the other orientation reduces the overall footprint of the machine if I’m being perfectly honest! Tempting to swing the thing from the rafters with an eye bolt and chain hoist when not in use but as the ceilings in the workshop are only 8’ to the...

    Yet another Bandsaw thread

    I don't agree that the market for second hand saws here is rubbish (I'm in Waterford btw) - there are plenty of good machines appearing on a regular basis on both adverts.ie and donedeal, I know as I've been keeping an eye on the market lately as I'm contemplating a down/side grade from my Sabre...

    Riving knife woes (Sedgwick TA315)

    Hopefully I'll have it sorted before then - I'm in the trade and need this machine up and running and earning PDQ but I appreciate the sentiment none the less.

    Riving knife woes (Sedgwick TA315)

    Thanks all, Yes please to that SLM, I'll also update the thread title, I was half asleep when I posted last night. My idea to make it from an old saw blade may well work then MorrisWM, the plate will be the same thickness (although presumably this will vary slightly from brand to brand) as the...

    Riving knife woes (Sedgwick TA315)

    Hello all, I recently (IE yesterday) acquired a used and very (really, very) cheap Sedgwick TA315 table saw. Generally speaking it is in excellent condition and complete - except for the riving knife and crown guard. A crown guard is easy enough to find but the riving knife, although available...

    Beginner question about short courses

    Long time lurker but first time post from me, I felt compelled to reply as perhaps I can offer an alternative insight. Firstly, you've been given sage advice from a couple of people already. Decide what it is that interests you most and follow that direction. There is a world of difference...
