Met the vendor over the weekend to have a look at the saw and see it work. I was actually quite surprised at how quiet it is. Anyway, we did the deal and I bought the saw. €900 in the end, including the sliding table so am happy with the price and it looks to be in great nick. Will collect this...

Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to try and meet the vendor on Sunday so will update then. HC, I'll keep you in mind if it all comes to pass. J

He's a guy hit by the recession. Started his own built-in business and ran out of work so I think it is pretty genuine. Plus, I know people he knows so I don't think I'll be shafted. I plan on checking it out on Friday so will post an update in due course. He's looking for €1000 (note euro) for...

Much obliged! I have the space so thanks for the advice... if it is in the nick that the vendor says it is then it is a done deal.

I have been using a woodrat for the last few months and like it very much. It is probably not as easy to use as say a leigh jig tho. I had the trend jig and was really disappointed with it and returned it after a weekends use. it was just not as accurate as I had wanted. The woodrat is quite...

Hey All, I have been looking for a sip table saw following the good reviews found on the forum and finally found a second hand sip 10" with the sliding table, all 1 year old. It is priced just above the cost of the basic 10" saw (ie no slider or extensions) and I am looking for an opinion on...

Thanks for the advice on the pins. I didn't want to argue as I am certainly no expert, but I bought a set of the HSS cutters with the woodrat and from my investigations prior to buying the rat, they are about as slender as you can get, hence as close to hand cut as you can get without actually...

Just finished a cutlery drawer insert, nice 3mm finger joints at the corners and sliding dovetails for the partitions with a rebated base. I'm absolutely delighted and right now wide, robust joints (which these aren't) will do me just fine considering these types of joints were beyond my skill...

Bought a woodrat last week and was apprehensive given the various discussion regarding comparisons with the router boss; must say i am delighted tho. I've gone from someone who couldn't cut a decent dovetail to save my life to producing some nice joints. No notice of slop in the rail, sagging or...

Thanks all for the additional info. Gives me a lot to think about! I'll let you all know what way I go and why.

I'm actually in the south of Ireland. Space is not really an issue however I do not really want to fill the space that I have with separate machines and that pushes me towards a combination machine. I have been making do with a ts-55, circular saw, jig saw, and router and hand tools to do what I...

Hello All, I'm new to the forum but have lurked for quite a while. I have been undertaking regular joinery and some furniture making and want to be able to size and shape material at home with a bit more ease. I have been looking into setting up a small workshop and was wondering would anyone...
