Well i went and picked up the saw at woodford (it took two of use to lift it in to the back of the car )when i got home i hade to take it in a piece at a time and assemble it ,this is an easy job so no probs.
i then started to fettle it, the blade was trueand in line so i adjusted the 90 degree and set it then set the 45 degree , the mitre gauge was next it was a little loose in the track so i got a centre punch and put two dimples on the side of it one at the front and one at the back ,fitted it back in it fits like a glove. no slop and so smooth .
i then fitted the motor on the back god its a big b****r it weighed more than my old saw .
i fitted the sliding table which comes with a sliding fence set it level to the table put some wax on the runners it slides smoothly (i havent used a sliding table so i will have to learn as i go along
:? i fitted the saw stand to a square of wood with wheels on so i can move it round the shop .now the part you have been waiting for started it up and i didn't have to jump back with fright like with the clarke saw ,it was so quiet and smooth i set the fence and cut some wood dead square and spot on .i stood a pound coin on the table and then tried it that coin never moved even when i cut a piece of wood.have you tried it with your saw .the saw is well made and i am glad i waited for it i have been ripping some lengths of mahogany and mdf on it and it a pleasure to use ,i dont need my ear defenders with this saw .the one down side and i hope woodford read this the switch is just an on and off ,when i first put the plug in the socket and switched it on the saw started up ,please mr woodford fit a nvr .thats the next job plus fitting one of them belts noely fitted to his .and can i thank philly for the tips on setting the saw up .
