Just had one fitted by electrician but he made sure I had surge protection fitted he then used very thick cable for no more than a foot run from consumer unit.

Thank you Lax, actually I'm 86 but they're only years in the mind eh. I was brought up in a tough Yorkshire mining village in the 30s and on where it was seen as a weakness to complain. I remember as a kid moaning of tooth ache and my dear old dad, a lifelong miner, saying, if you trapped your...

Evening, Not sure if anyone saw my posting on the general forum but I was asking advice on what sort of price I could expect to get for my bandsaw and dust extractor. The story is I'm an 86 year old pensioner and about 18 months back I bought a Record BS300E bandsaw and the wheel kit although I...

Thanks buddy

Thanks for all your help and advice, I had tot up just using Yandles prices which are, Bandsaw £650, Wheel set £75 Sheppach dust extractor £120 Comes to £845. I will toss in the two tuff saw blades, can't remember what they cost? As previously said I've got the original receipt and books so...

I have got the original books and receipt so there's still three and half years of the warranty to run.

Thanks for that mate but with the castors he fitted the saw moves really easily even though my garage has got industrial carpet on the floor.

I'll give it some thought overnight and decide just what I would take for it all and also some ideas on the delivery aspect. Thanks for your kind thoughts so far really is appreciated.

Hi, I'm looking for a bit of guidance, I'm an OAP in fact I'm at the tender age of 86. About 18 months ago I bought a Record 300E bandsaw with the intention making a new hobby. I've always done woodwork in an amateur way but never had a bandsaw so I was thinking of trying to turn out some...

What are the sheppach plunge saws and track like?

Being a old age novice, I didn't even realise there were different types of track, shows what I know!!! I'm pretty much in the same position as the original post. I'm a hobbyist woodworker. I would like to get some real accuracy into my cuts which are pretty much all done with my hand saws at...

would any track saw fit into the Festool MFT ?

What a great help and some seriously good good ideas. Thank you very much

Hi P, Yes I was 86 just last week and have always tried to keep myself fit and stay away from getting sick where possible. I make the effort to pound the treadmill every day for 45 minutes and still run up and down stairs. I broke my back last year and that set me back for a while but apart from...

thanks for that Paul, I see he recommends using a plunge saw and mine is an old Makita ordinary saw so I guess your idea of just using a good straight edge is the best idea. Having said that, I do like the idea of using a plunge saw with tracking but that would have to be a dream for now.

Hi, being a novice 86 year old woodworker and the fact I need to cut some sheets of 12mm ply with a circular saw tell me what guides I should get. I probably wouldn't be able to afford the very best but at the same time don't want to waste money on rubbish. Very much appreciate advice fro the...

Thanks for that

Thanks for that as you say, need to work out just what I would use it for. At the moment I'm thinking just small hobbyist stuff

Hi, I really am just a old very much retired hobby woodworker so always looking for advice. For our 59th wedding anniversary last year our son bought me a Record BS300E bandsaw which I'm thrilled with and still in the learning stages to get the best out of it. But I've always wanted a planner...

I'm 86 in a few weeks, I've just had a cancerous lump removed from my face which is now infected and needs antibiotics and re- dressing every two days at the clinic. We went for a walk on Sunday the good lady tripped over a kerb smashed her face on the pavement and badly cut her hand. We go down...
