    Not over thinking it. I'm going to take all your good folks advice. The 70 quid one looks pretty beaten up and Hayling is harder to get to. I'll see what happens with the other one tomorrow.

    all good points Gentlemen (sexist assumption there!). I will keep my eyes out for a 2nd hand delta!

    Yup, all very good points, and you're right; the 'clones'. are all around the £100 - £120 mark and a 2nd Delta will definately be better than all of those . The Auction ends tomorrow...I'll report back!

    You make a very good point, Hence my 'tempted to bid on the Delta' thats local to me. What I can't figure is what is or isn't a good 2nd hand price, it looks in excellent condition and is at £94, but I've no idea if that's way over or not, there is one for £70, but looks a lot older, bit more...

    Tempted to try a bid on the Delta but the Axi AC456 has 10% off making it £148 and with the Rotary tool this is making it very Attractive!

    Lofty, whatknot and Irish, thank you all so much for the advice and quick replies! I'm going to follow all your advice and have a punt on the Delta, really difficult to know what to bid as I cant find prices for it anywhere, must be quite an old model I reckon so probably max £80? Also a little...

    Thank you! I searched eBay for delta but somehow missed this one. I believe this is the 40-540 which is the budget end of delta? Any idea which would be better out of this or the Axi 456? The Axi seems much better spec'd.

    Thank you whatknot. Looking at the Axminster AC456SS, I reckon I can stretch to that, not much more than the Record (and other chinese clones) but cast iron base and table, decent extraction and pin/pinless...and of course Axminster, I've had nothing but superb service from them...wish I...

    Thank you Lofty, for the very quick reply! I'm looking to buy a Scroll saw, would love a Hegner but cant justify (or afford!) the price so I'm on the lookout for a good budget saw, unfortunatly this particular Axminster is way beyond my budget of ~£150. I'm thinking of the Record Power SS16V...

    Any takers for jet 260 P/T retro fit?

    I bought my 260 in October from ATC and this doesn't have the lock so I'd be very interested in a retro fit device too, so looking forward to Nick/Jet's answer!

    Jet JPT-260 - thicknessing table lock.

    well I have my lovely Jet-260 and am happily filling up my extractor drum (and boy does it fill quickly!!) BUT I have the 'wandering height' issue and would really like a "bob-lock" so ...Bob how about helping another Hampshire chap out?

    Steel rules with vertical depth gauge on the back?

    Similar Kevin, but the ones I seen on the videos (always american ones) have horizontal on one side and vertical on the other, but the Starrett looks good enough, thank you!

    Steel rules with vertical depth gauge on the back?

    Thanks to everyone who has helped and replied, at the end of the day it isn't a matter of life or death (or depth!). Just thought one would be handy in the pocket, so it's back to the rule and separate depth gauge!
