Paul If I recall correctly, you can adjust the position of the lug by loosening a nut on the inside of the cabinet. You have to take off the back panel, adjust the nut and position of the lug, locate the microadjuster onto the lug, tighten the nut and it should fit. Then pass a piece of...

Ivan Very useful. Many thanks for going to the trouble of posting this information. Its reassuring to know that even for Felder "flat" means to within a few thou. Richard

Ivan We are clearly talking about the same bolts except that mine did not have domed heads. I tried filing the tops flat to match the underside of the tables but with little success as the bolts were not tapped in perpendicular to the table. I replaced them with set screws, mainly because I...

Ivan I came across this problem with the locking handles by accident. I noticed that after levelling the infeed table (I have a PT260) and locking it down it was no longer co-planar with the outfeed table. I discovered the problem lay with the locking mechanism pulling the table down very...

Waka I suggest you go the US Jet site and download the manual for the JJPT12. It appears identical to the Jet 310 and is a far better manual in terms of adjustments than the UK manual. The link is http://woodworking.jettools.com/Products.aspx?Part=708475 Richard

Rob I was interested in your comments on levelling the tables on your Jet P/T as I have had a similar experience and concluded, like you, that the problem lay with the levelling bolts. I am contemplating replacing them with M8 socket head cap screws. What did you use? Richard

Declan Getting the table flat and the saw blade/arm properly aligned with it and the fence is critical if you want to get the best out of it. The rationale is probably better explained in the following link. Gloss over the first half and read the section on set up...

Once again, thank you all for taking the time to respond to my initial post. You have confirmed what I suspected all along, namely I need to get a better dust extractor and hook it up to the 100mm port. The possibility that the blanking plate/baffle might be a design feature aimed at improving...

Hi Declan Bit out of my league, size wise, as I have a DW 110, purchased in 1975 and still going strong. Biggest problems, from my experience, are (a) keeping the table flat and adjusting it so that it matches the flex of the arm as the saw is pulled forward and (b) keeping the saw in 90/45...

Many thanks for the responses. I have to confess my extraction system comprises a B&Q shop vac rated at 1400 wats with a 32 mm outlet!! I have tended to let dust build up then vaccuum out and remove dust in tight corners etc by using compressed air. My concerns are as follows. First dust...

I'd welcome comments/suggestions from forum members on how to improve dust collection for this bandsaw. The saw is only used intermittently and to date I have resorted to cleaning it using a combination of compressed air and a shop vac after each session. But this is far from satisfactory and...
