Electric robot horses I reckon! That actually sounds pretty cool

Fully get that and agree, and as Blackswanwood said, this is likely to be a major headache down the line for the finance companies who may well have loads of fleet cars with 'under maintained' batteries with the resulting loss of re-sale price. Next logical step would be lease cars to have a...

Hi @Blackswanwood - Just my tuppence worth, I had an EV for 6 months and nearly always charged it to 100% as did many others I know. The reason being was that they were leased company cars (we only had them for BIK tax purposes) and even on say a 4 year lease then long term battery life just...

They are both decent machines - I don't know the TS2000 inside out, but I'd suggest double checking / cleaning any threaded rise/fall rods with an old toothbrush/wire brush or something to fully clean, as I've seen sawdust compact in the threads to stop the movement on machines - you can't see...

Whilst working for my previous company, some scammers had basically copied most of their website listings & images (amongst other brands) at obviously a huge mark down price and set up a fake site that still looked professional over about two days or so - that must have taken some time to...

A few hot days here in the Midlands - (anything over 25 degrees is too hot for me) but mainly erratic apart from a 10 day sunny spell- mostly felt like dry one day / wet the next / windy the next etc. On the plus side, (and I have no idea what I should be expecting as I'm no gardener), since...

Hi @johnnyb - I agree & Laguna USA never even had a factory bandsaw mitre gauge option available for their range as they said exactly the same as you when I asked - 'no one in USA would even attempt to cut an accurate mitre on a bandsaw' were their words when I asked why it wasn't even...

Hi Spectric & all - If I had a mill kicking around in cash I'd consider that option - sure I could also get some free R&D feedback from all the good people on here 😄 . At the moment I haven't committed to any future work or projects and I'm just taking some time off which I needed. @Democritus...

If you google 'anti kickback pawls' - that's what they are. There's lot's of different opinions on them out there.

Don't know how long it's ran over it's life span, but have you checked the brushes in that smaller conveyor motor? There are inspection caps to access them if I remember correctly. The current importer for Jet in UK is Tool France if you google and need a quote from them on a new OEM conveyor motor.

Hi Pete, one UK company has already started to advertise it for launching this September ;) How realistic that timescale is I don't know, but I'm fairly sure there is a range on the way which will be good to offer people over here further options within the market. Cheers.

So you've just labelled approx. 98% if not 99.8% of global table saw users I reckon. Some know there's safer practices with push sticks due to the the info we have read up on, but the majority don't - that is why SawStop was developed.

For info, my understanding is cartridge will be replaced FOC once it's confirmed skin contact. It's just a new blade they would need.

Well on the plus side, if you do ever (and I sincerely hope not) lop off a few fingers, then you won't have to worry about packing them in frozen peas like us in the slightly milder UK.

In the meat cutting industry (bandsaws) they also have it with gloves being detected https://www.guardianbandsaw.com/

Yup Deema this is why, as we all know, we have to complete 'box lifting' courses etc - I had to do one online 15 years ago - the main purpose was so the company could win a legal claim if we were ever injured - I can't actually think of anything that course told me that I didn't already know...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx02yelq84go At the risk of starting another Saw Stop vs push stick thread - The biggest take off this statement that I get and know is that a serious injury doesn't immediately hurt as much as it will do in the next few 5 mins/hours/days and months/ maybe...

It will likely depend on how closely you are looked at at the border control (I know that's stating the obvious, but vans are probably more likely to be checked depending on how busy they are) Anecdotally a colleague had a nightmare visiting Ireland recently - all paperwork in order for sample...

Tool France are the current importer - you could try and contact them. https://www.toolfrance.com/contact/ If you need the manual/parts list, just PM me with your e-mail address, I have it in PDF

Hi @deema you mean no compressor? If so, I bought a Wagner 100 to do my fence panels & pleased as punch - think about £60 at the time - I reckon it would do walls too & I'd give it a go for that - I worked at a boatyard painting a long time time ago & the spray / control was good on this. Maybe...
