Hi, I got an Axi TS250 for Christmas, full kit. Have been puting it together in slow time, did my first bit of ripping the other day. Was rather surprised when sparks started flying! Thought at first that there was a nail in the timber, but in fact the blade was hitting the side of the...

Hi all, I am looking to get a new compound chop saw, and was hoping for a slider. However due to the (obligatory?) space problems in the workshop I would like to get one that only slides forward, i.e. the sliding rods project out of the front and the head slides on them, rather than the rods...
