Hi @Sideways TGS flip overs were superb for their time - I thought this old pic from '96 included a TGS, but it's PS274 crosscut - I'm posting it anyway for nostalgia from my Elu days.. Also sadly my good mate 'big Dougie' from Elu is no longer with us. He was a top man. Nick

Hi Blister, thanks & yes I joined as JetMan as you remember well - good to see you still around too & I still remember our meeting at Ali Pali - must be almost 20 years back - And ha you are still using the user profile pic of Ali Pali that used to animate with a planer thicknesser on top of a...

Hi Peter, thanks & it's always good to see you too mate - will speak in the week hopefully about Laguna as things have changed unfortunately since we spoke.

Sergeant Pepper may very well have told the band to play, But it was also when I joined this lovely forum. (OK technically I've got 5 hours to go for exactly 20 years looking at my user stats, but I'm not staying up that late as all my spiced rum has now been drunk ;) ) I just wanted to mark...

@Stigmorgan I don't really have any specific advice to add but just to wish you all the best mate - feeling down for whatever reason is very hard - I admire you and others for saying it on here as it is - it's not easy to say. I know. Just want to say it's been helpful personally to read...

Hi @Ollie78 - the arbor is 5/8" - the 30mm blade sits on the supplied washer with a 30mm flange that is the width of a blade. Anything wider than a blade would need to be 5/8" bore or it will not be clamped correctly - and directly mounted using a different flat washer.

Edited for clarity I hope: Hi @Gandalfs Staff , we decided on 30mm blade bore with CE spec as 10" / 30mm bore blades are pretty much standard in Europe and easy to get - plus cheaper to buy vs 5/8 bore blades. The arbor is still 5/8" though. The 30mm bore blades sit on the supplied washer...

Hi @Spectric, @Doug71 & all - sorry it's a late reply in this thread. Yes, Fusion 1, Fusion 2 and Fusion 3 saws all have a 5/8" diameter arbour that is approx. 31mm long (I love mixing my metric and imperial ;)) Saw blade bore is a standard 30mm by way of a flange on the supplied washer (that...

Hi @Rhossydd - when I was there some time back, that was exactly how it worked & I also understand why. I would call HQ and sometimes find there was a boxed Jet machine sitting in a store somewhere that I needed to help out a retailer sale (despite being out of stock on the central system) & I'd...

That is the only reason I have one. I now get £430 extra a month in my take-home pay due to the low BIK tax on EV company cars. I felt the Govt. already took enough off me - this was a no brainer, although not a decision I took for any environmental reasons. I'll still miss my diesel with the...

Hi @XTiffy, it has already happened - right opposite us in lockdown 2020 £1 million found they said. No-one arrested, despite other company owners on our estate informing the police of their suspicions due to the smell at least 1 month prior to the raid...

Happy new bandsaw & thanks for buying one - My view is I'd rather factories put too much grease on than less, I can only recall maybe 4 rust issues on any cast table delivery in last 5 years - but yup it can take a bit of cleaning to remove in the mitre slots when it has dried solid - WD40 is...

Hi Sideways, agreed on being careful on tail lifts. It was sometime mid 2000's Harrogate show and Freud were using pallet crates (basically a pallet with 3ft sides around it) to remove all their stock after the show. The crate was fully stacked up with saw blades / router bits etc - basically...

Hi Dean, hope all is well & yes that definitely looks like the rise fall shaft, and the pointy bit will be your your angle indicator. Looks like handwheel has snapped as you said - that's the remnants of the handwheel stuck on the exposed shaft with the locking knob that goes in front of the...

Hi @Blackswanwood - big thanks for dropping by and saying hello - it was nice to meet you & put a face to the name. My experience was it felt like a very different show this year from a sales/exhibitor point of view & from speaking to other exhibitors I know quite a few said the same. Lots of...

I saw this vid when it popped up last week (somehow I think YT knows I watch Laguna machines..) & in fairness I think this guy put out a good vid explaining the danger to those who don't know - I agree with you @Agent_zed although many of us know not to do it, it's certainly not a bad thing to...

Haha - that's quite ingenious, & hi @sploo About 25 years ago, my old boss of a certain German woodworking brand I won't name had to go to court for having a radar/laser jammer fitted in his front grill on his new Audi. (it was actually fitted by the engineer at our company too lol) They...

Hi Noel, yes quite a few I've never noticed before doing 30mph & I thought - nice house, I'd be happy to live there. And ha yup plenty of different colours and doors lol.

Leo has just posted quite an interesting 'behind the scenes' view on what the programme involved and the design reasoning for his bench on the first episode, along with his views of what he would do differently in hindsight. I enjoyed his take on it all.

All of them, both left and right I was going that slow - guess I just had time on my hands to look at things as well as the road ahead - it's just what happened
