    JET JWBS-16X

    Hi Nelly, if you are trying to source exact replacements in UK then try Axminster first if they have any spares left over on the shelf - but they are no longer Jet distributors. If not then Baileigh are new UK importers for Jet. www.baileighindustrial.co.uk - give them a call/mail. Lower guides...

    systainers

    Hi Marcros - I agree with all the Dougs (What is the plural of Doug? Dougi? haha) I have a few tools in systainers & just clip the accys together with them using a thinner one. My old matey from Jet days is now the Tanos importer (they make systainers) - could be worth a look on his site too -...

    Need help understanding Arbor and blade (dado) - Laguna Fusion 3

    Hi Jim It's a 5/8" diameter & long enough arbour as you worked out. Caveat: I cannot officially recommend using a dado for CE reasons as we do not supply a floating guard system. 5/8th washer with flats on it is needed. (not the 30mm flange blade one supplied ) Most I know have used a 5/8" bore...

    Lidl Update

    Hi Bill, he says mainly it's because they tend to keep certain fresh goods on the shelves when they are clearly at end of expiry when other stores replenish. He said this is down to the 'target driven' manager down mindset of not throwing too much away as they are penalised for this, yet he...

    Lidl Update

    I used one once many moons ago when we had a sample to test/import - best description I have is it felt like using a 'star wars light sabre' that cuts through metal (without the glowing neon and sci-fi zooming sound, plus no heat to the metal after cutting) - I was well impressed with the wiggly...

    Laguna 14BX - First impressions

    Hi Mooose, that's a great detailed write up so far and really sorry about your fence - that's a proper 'Friday afternoon job' looking at that pic and should never have got through QC. Although due to the new Brexit treaty that specifically references back to the 'Bendy banana' issue : under...

    Axminster stock levels

    Hi PJM, Not in our experience - this has been an issue for some time due to Covid / supply chains stopping etc & huge increased demand for DIY goods. As Mr Neophyte said, it's a global issue. Cheers, Nick

    Supply shortages.

    Hi Richard, You may have seen it already, but I've copied / pasted my reply from another thread below as it's relevant here too - this is our experience at the moment. My understanding as below just to share with all on here Delays are Covid consequences still and only getting worse.. Nothing...

    OSB Availability?

    Hi Jelly, Good to hear they are UK based, I didn't know that. What could also be happening though is possibly other imported OSB alternative brands from abroad have been delayed / short supply so everyone has turned to Norbord UK and taken all their stock. I remember years back we had a sudden...

    OSB Availability?

    Not related to Brexit at all in our experience - our director gave me a succinct summary last week - he is the experienced guy that deals with all this in fine detail My understanding as below just to share with all on here Delays are Covid consequences still and only getting worse.. Nothing...

    Laguna

    Hi Graham, key design differences between USA spec and EU are generally extra safety features required for CE. Some examples below, which all need to be appraised and confirmed by a 'Notified body'; Braked motors / Micro switches on doors / length of rear feed after blade / thickness and...

    Laguna

    Hi Scaredy - I'd love it to be about £1500 inc vat - any higher and it's getting too close to Fusion 2 to make sense. Ha, yes please don't hold me to that either as there is a lot of working out still to do whilst CE is finalised. Shipping costs / factory increases etc have also gone crazy this...

    Laguna

    Hi James, guess you mean the Fusion 1? - There is no CE on it yet- We are looking at it, but it also needs to be at the right price. We have a USA sample over here and work is being done by others to see how viable it will be to launch in Europe. Cheers, Nick

    Sip 01446 12" Table saw details, repairs and review

    Hi DBT, it's being looked at by Laguna USA you will be pleased to know - realistically will take time to be available but they have been asked for it over there too. Cheers, Nick

    Sip 01446 12" Table saw details, repairs and review

    Hi Mike, No they are not the same - Completely different manufacturers (and based in different Countries, Harvey is China). Fusion is exclusive to Laguna USA and built in Taiwan - Laguna own all tooling / design rights and it is not available in any one else's brand name either. Hope this...

    Jet lathe spares

    As per Duncan's Q above - If you know what part number you need you could try Axminster (who were the Jet importers for many years) to see if they have any 'left over spares' still on the shelf. The new Jet importers are Baileigh UK - I don't know what their spares holding is like, but worth a...

    Could not watch Youtube on my smart TV?

    Hi Devonwoody - I had same issue on my fairly old Bravia - It stopped showing quite a few apps that were there previously - who knows why? My best solution was just getting an amazon firestick £50 squid (was reduced to £29 in their sale recently grr..) - one off purchase and all free apps like...

    Hi Doris, did you get one yet? Are you still after one? I found a copy lurking in my desk at work today - If you want to PM me a delivery address I will post it out FOC no worries. Cheers, Nick

    From experience

    Hi @DBT85 - sorry for my late reply, I've just seen your question. Yes Laguna is made in Taiwan. USA own all the tooling and work alongside the factories to produce the designs. We purchase in $USD which also tends to be one of the key points in setting pricing as it depends upon the exchange...
