SIP saw question

[BMac]

I am seriously considering the SIP01332 10" Cast Iron Table Saw but cannot find out if it has an induction motor.

Anyone help please?

Thanks, Brendan[/b]

I think it does but its still quite noisy.

 

[WellsWood]

Definitely has. A few members have this saw and it seems to be quite well regarded for the money, a good solid workhorse.

I have the 12" version and it is an induction motor, very quiet too IMHO.

 

[BMac]

Thank you guys,

I haven't heard the saw running but I'm going to look at it next week. Brand new with guarantees etc from a SIP agent - £462 all in. Seems like a good deal.

I have this saw. Got is second hand. It does have an induction motor. I am very please with it. I personally think it is pretty quiet too. Great machine for the money.

I don't know how this saw could possibly be described as very noisy, quite the opposite.

The motor is very quiet indeed and the saw is a good package at a good price. Very pleased with mine.

Cheers, Paul

Where are you getting that price Brendan?

 

[BMac]

Thanks for the recent replies guys.

Wizer, a place called Craigmore Tools in Craigavon. http://www.craigmore.uk.com/category?na ... manu_id=25

It's only 5 minutes from me and has a great reputation with my mates who are engineers and mechanics. The prices are ex-VAT but I added VAT for the price above (might be a few pence out).

Hi brendan


who is the agent your going to at that price , I could be interested as well . hc

 

[wizer]

It's a very good price. I think I'd have one at that price. I'll have to see if I can find a seller over here who's willing to match.

Hi tom

if you find one, please let me know as well . hc

 

[BMac]

Hi HC,

As you've seen, I'm in NI so if you did buy from Craigmore you would experience the delight we have when bringing goods across The Irish Sea - described once, in an economic review, as 'the most expensive piece of water in the world'.

Hope this information can work as a lever for you guys.

It does actually say that they deliver to the mainland but their shopping cart system appears to be broken. I'll call on Monday and confirm.

 

[Chems]

At that price I think I'll take one as well!

Hi Brendan does Armagh have VAT @ 8½% ? The saw is a fantastic price though about 40% cheaper than over here! You will need something bigger than your wee orange truck to shift it.

 

[BMac]

Tommo, and guys,

My apologies. I had done other calculations and read the wrong figure for the saw.

The price is £425.49 + VAT.

VAT @ 15% makes it £489.31

VAT @ 17.5% makes it £499.95

Sorry about that.

Brendan

Edit: Tommo, just re-read this to make sure I had my figures right and noticed your 'wee orange truck' comment above - LOL, have you been watching gardening videos?

 

[Tom K]

Hi Brendan, yeah I checked out your workshop tour but I really enjoyed
the garden videos and have watched them several times.

A great saw - I bought mine last year. I paid £479 including VAT and delivery from West Skelton Services - might be worth giving them a call to see what they can do it for.
