Its Richard here this time!

Look what I just found in the bottom of a filing cabinet...

Now that's what you call excellent service, obviously not just happened to find in the bottom of the filing cabinet, but a concerted effort to see if they had one, bravo Axminster and you Richard of course.

Many thanks to all of you guys here on ukworkshop for all the help and advice. I have eventually managed to get one from " Richard " at Axminster after the company made a huge huge huge effort to try and find one. It's probably the only one left - anywhere. I am so grateful to Richard at Axminster that I'm speechless ( almost .....lol ) Thank you again Axminster------ a company who cares about their customers and are willing to go that extra mile. Truly grateful!!!!!!
Regards

I'm interested in the spec of the Axminster BS350 Bandsaw.
Are you able to share the info please

 

[sunnybob]

This thread is almost 3 years old and Artmusshort hasnt been on the forum since last august, dont know if he is still getting notices.
Which BS350 in particular are you interested in, and exactly what do you need to know.

 

[MikeJhn]

Did Axminster ever have a bandsaw designated BS350, sounds like a Record Power model No?

 

[sunnybob]

I own an axminster BS 350 N
The BS merely stands for Band Saw, the number denotes the diameter of the wheels. The "N" is the model number.

 

[MikeJhn]

I see the confusion here the Axminster Bandsaw is not a BS350, but a Axminster Bandsaw model no 350N the Record Power offering is a Model No BS350.

 

[sunnybob]

Nope, its not that simple :roll:
I have the instruction manual for mine in front of me, which is 4 years old.
Its was sold as a HBS350N
The H being for "hobby".

Axminster changed the designations only recently when they swapped from the "hobby" range to the "craft" range.

 

[MikeJhn]

Are things ever that simple, I wonder who used the designation first and cashed in on the kudos of the other? I think probably Record Power where around first as they are a fairly old company, but I could be wrong.

I know this is an old thread, but this is the manual I've been scouring the Internet for...
@artmusshort...?

It would be good if this site had an area where manuals could be saved for anyone to download.
I get constant email requests for my Kity 619 manual since I mentioned it several years ago, would be great if I could just upload it here.
