Hi Mark, Thank you, that is very helpful. I strongly suspected that there was some sort of flap system as the design didn't make a whole lot of sense otherwise. I assumed that there would be a few missing bits (Mine was missing the 32mm hose, and has one fairly minor dent) but at half price I...

Good Afternoon, Purchased one of these machines from Axminster via Ebay(Customer Return). Curious if anyone else has any experience with these extractors. It came with no documentation, so I've downloaded the NVD750 extractor(which seems to be identical other than the bag system) manual from...

See my thread below for some comments in response to my questions on the Record C26: https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/axmi ... 39856.html Note that the Record C26 in question is actually a rebadged Minimax C26 Genius, and as such has been quite well reviewed on other sites. As for the...

I just used the standard mobile base: http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Axmi ... 364881.htm Its rated for 230kg and the saw is 190. It does the job even though my garage floor is in somewhat poor condition. One thing to note is that there is about an inch of clearance on each long side of the...

Its a bit of a hike from Devon, but Felder is having an Open House in Milton Keynes 25-27 March. You may be able to get a deal then. I attended their Open House in Oct and managed to get my N4400 for £1100 which included the saw in 1PH, three blades, delivery and VAT. For mobility, I just...

Hi Joel, Yes, I'd be quite interested in hearing your opinion on the C3-31. Funnily enough, I went through the same thing with Felder when I ordered my N4400 bandsaw. Ordered in Oct, promised for early to mid Dec, finally delivered 3rd week of January. Wasn't terribly upset however, as it was...

Hi Shultzy, Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. I tend to work in solid wood rather than panels, and no pieces larger than tables thus far, although you never know... So I'm curious if you find the capacity of the sliding table, planer/thicknesser is sufficient for your needs or do you wish...

Good Afternoon, I haven't posted for a while, but still reading the forum regularly. Its a great source for someone like myself who is still attempting to work my way up from the bottom of the learning curve. Curious in regards to members/owners opinions on the above machines, or any other...

Good Evening, Probably more than you ever wanted to know about Stanleys at this link: http://www.supertool.com/StanleyBG/stan0a.html Not too sure about a source for Record. I'm sure someone else will chime in. Andre

Hi Dan, I was posted here about 6 months ago from Canada. I live near London, but have been up to Mildenhall/Lakenheath a couple of times, nice area, and far less busy/frenetic than around London. I've used my North American tools here on a transformer no problem, only thing I've really...

Hi Brian, To get back to the original topic, poplar also goes by cottonwood or aspen. The trees, at least the ones in Canada, are very fast growing and can get to a massive size relatively quickly in areas where other trees just don't get that big ie. the Canadian Prairies. It is also sold as...

Sweet boat, Dave!!! Is that a Weekender? Looks great!! Andre

Thanks Hitch, Thats just the sort of design I was looking for. I especially like the possibility of being able to quickly break them down when not in use. I could see doing them in Birch Ply. Do you think 12mm would be rigid enough? Andre

Good Evening All, I was wondering if anyone has any pictures/ideas for a kids' play table you have built/contemplated building. I'm looking at something to put a doll house on with some sort of storage underneath. Dimensions around 30 inches square with the top at about kneeling/sitting height...

Hi Tim, I moved from Kingston, Ontario, about mid-way between Toronto and Montreal, right where Lake Ontario turns into the St Lawrence River(Thousand Islands). Its a very pretty area. As for car insurance, I was pleasantly surprised. It came to about 1/3 of the cost I was paying in Canada...

Thank you all for the warm welcome, The price of most things has come as a bit of a shock, although there are certain things I've noticed that are cheaper here than in Canada ie. dairy products/cheese, and of course, beer :P. I do regret not bringing my table saw, band saw, etc with me, but...

Good Evening, I'm looking recommendations on smaller-scale used universals,and where one might find these machines for sale. I've read a great deal about their pros and cons in the past few months, and the biggest issue for most users seems to be the requirement for a new setup when changing...

Good Evening, I have recently moved to the UK from Canada on a four year posting. I found this site while I was still living in Canada, and have been an avid follower of the forums since then. Now that I am here, I figured it was time to join and thought it would be good form to introduce...
