Does anyone know why Axminster might be flogging these with a couple of hundred quid off? Is there something new about to emerge or is it just the competition from the the disciples of Norm/Philly/Woodford?
Can anyone offer any comment/comaprison between the SS and the TS2500Ci and the Woodford? I know there were comparisons with the former in the mags but they were all early on in the proceedings. I was wondering how people have got on with them in the meantime. Is there really much to chose between them for someone who can’t get excited enough about tablesaws to need EB3s and Norm-style tenoning jigs?...although, saying that, does the SS have a standard mitre slot?
I know the SS is a hybrid and not really a proper cabinet saw but are the capabilities of these three roughly similar? (I hardly ever use sheet materials so that’s not an issue really)
Are adverse comments on the SS fence justified? Can it be set to within 1/10mm as Scheppach claim for theirs? I take it the 4mm sliding table misalignment mentioned in an early thread was an aberration??
How good is the SS sliding table? Smooth? Any play where there shouldn’t be?
And what about dust extraction? Some people have said it wasn’t great. Yes/No/Maybe??
My Scottishness likes the thought of a few quid off and it would cover the cost of shipping to France which Axminster are quite good at (unlike a lot of others in the UK who aren’t interested in the hassle).
Would appreciate any thoughts/comments and sorry about the barrage of questions!
PS: Neil, I apologise if you're the only supersaw owner in this corner of the internet and feel obliged to answer all this!
