Good job screwfix are easy about replacements! I've been happy with mine too. I remade the fence using some plywood which helped quite a bit. The extraction is usable, does the job mostly. It's a bit annoying to switch between modes. For me it was this or nothing and I've used it enough to be...

Do you mean that you switched the hinges around to the other side but kept the rest of the door in the same position? So that it will open the other way? I usually just mark it with a razor sharp pencil, then carefully use a chisel to cut around the edge. Then start removing material. I...

Ha I was wondering if this was happening. You can always tell something is going on when your youtube feed fills up with videos on a topic... Marketing departments sure are savvy these days. I'm glad someone linked me here to confirm it!

I think what you go for depends a lot on whether it's occasional storage done to a nice standard, or you want to make it into a fully fledged room that's part of the house. If it's the latter then you have to tick all the boxes - if you do with without full building control sign off, it won't...

I love making projects like this. Use the things you have, solve a problem. I'm not sure if you planned this but I particularly love doing no planning and just organically putting it together as I go. I find it the most relaxing way to build things. Workshop and allotment projects are my...

I get a huge amount of value from some channels. Some of them have offered me countless hours of entertainment, others have given me tips that have saved huge amounts of time. I'm going to build a garden room soon(ish!) and some of the tutorial videos are genuinely amazing. They are pretty much...

That's an amazing tip thanks! I need a new window for my garage and I'm building a garden room once the garage is renovated. Looks like I could save a load. I was thinking of trawling FB marketplace, which isn't a bad idea, but being able to pick from a catalogue would make things a lot easier...

Ah you're probably right actually. I've been reading this site for years but I've never really got in the habit of posting. I'm not in a massive rush with the saw. I should make the effort. I'd much rather sell it to someone on here. It's a fine bit of machinery and it would be sell it on to...

It's crazy how many times this saw has been rebadged! Grizzly in the US too if I remember correctly. Yeah that's interesting isn't it. You can still see all the promotional material about it, but nothing on their site. Maybe my memory isn't quite right: but it seems to be that they don't...

Thanks everyone! I saw the 25 post thing, if I was on 23 I'd make a push for it but I think given I'm on 7 that might be taking the mick! Ah funny - I have a post many years ago in that thread! From that it looks like Axminster also sold it for a while as the AT254TS. But that's not on their...

I need to sell my big table saw to make some room - I just don't use it enough to justify the space it takes up. The problem is, it's not sold in the UK any more, nothing comes up on ebay and I have no idea what I should ask for it. I might look to grab something smaller and more mobile if I...

Have you seen the axminster TS200 / TS250? Personally I have a full cabinet saw mounted on a mobile base. I move it all the time and it's quick and easy to do. The saw weights 250kg so it's not exactly a lightweight model :-) My workshop is a very similar size and this works for me. I have a...

I first enquired in October. Sent the deposit at the start of November. I paid the original price although he did mention exchange rates when I first emailed him. I only just got the saw so I think it's taking a while to get them shipped at the moment. It arrived a long time after the most...

Thanks everyone. Sounds like there is a pretty strong consensus here. I'll give that Freud a shot once I've checked the riving knife thickness. £31.99 at screwfix, pricy compared to some but the Freud on my mitre saw has held up very well to a lot of use. I don't mind paying more if it's going...

I've just taken delivery of a new Harvey table saw from woodford. I have it put together and it's looking very smart and seems to work very well! However it's got the stock blade on it which doesn't look all that hot so I'm looking to buy something more suited to a shiny new machine. To start...
