sip/ charnwwod table saws the same?

[Woodmonkey]

Anyone know if this:

is the same as this:

http://www.poolewood.co.uk/acatalog/Cha ... e_Saw.html

they look identical apart from the badge.

I know the sip 01332 is well regarded on here but not much mention of above model. Can anyone suggest a reason for buying one over the other? Or a better saw at this price with similar features?

Thanks

Rich

Don't forget the axi version too.

Each probably has it's slight differences. Whether they are useful to you or make a difference is something you would need to decide on.

The axi one is slightly different, more HP but less add-ons. Anyone give any reasons to choose between the other two?

Hi

Charnwood says it has a more powerful motor - they will price match - delivery is free to selected areas

Thanks Mick I didn't spot that

Am I reading it right?

Axminster want £800 + another £400 for the sliding carriage and £150 for the extension tables.
Charnwood want £755 for it all!

Sip want £750 for the whole shebang - saw/tables/sliding carriage.

Seems some mighty big differences.

Hi

The Axi is a different saw

Yes the axi saw looks more like the sip 01332 which would make it reasonable value, but out of my price range if adding on extensions

I would focus on a good basic saw unit, the extras on saws of that price range are usually replaced over time. You can always change the add-ons however you are stuck with the basic saw unit - that should be the decider in my opinion. The slider I can see, but the other toys, not so much.

I've dealt with the guys at poolewood before, they are a decent bunch, drop them a line and see what they can do.

What about this, does anyone have experience of one of these?

A few members have the full size cabinet saws from them and rate them highly. Looks good and powerful with a nice cast iron top and wings. Plus a proper mitre gauge slot.
