Hammer K3 Basic Table Saw

[user 19915]

Hi does anyone own one of these Hammer K3 Basic Table Saw and if so would you recommend them ??
Also do you know if they will take a dado blade ?? Plus do you think £1,100 is to much for a five year old saw ?
thank's in anticipation Mock

I have the K 3 Winner now 10 years old and I have been very happy with mine. I do not have a dado head on it, Hanmmer do sell the dado heads so it should fit but not sure if it needs a different spindle.

£1100 might be Ok but someone may come along with better info.

Cheers Peter

hi mock the dado prep as hammer calls it has to be ordered from new its not a retro fit the shaft for the blade is different and it only takes hammers own dado set , as for price new they are around £ 2,400 plus so thats not a bad price all depends how much work its done . ian

hi mock yes my machines a hammer you will need 16 amp power for the machine think its a 3hp motor as for the electrics if you have a rcd type fuse box it needs a type c rcd which stops it tripping on start up just make sure your power supply is up to the load i think my rcd is a 20 amp one but il have to check did you have any luck with the bandsaw ?

very difficult mate the bandsaw is the more versatile machine of the two just sit down and list what you want to , do from what you said before a bandsaw would suit you better to start though ian
