:lol: :lol: - I won't mention which member told me to wind you up over the pronunciation Tom :wink: Always at 3am :) - Couldn't sleep because of toothache and used messing around on photoshop as distraction therapy :) Cheers to all Nick

I got toothache and insomnia :( Seriously it was really good to meet some of the forum members - Dave L, Wizer (whizzer :)), Mark W and Blister last weekend - top gents all of you - thanks for the coffee too Mark I forgot to say before you left - much appreciated :) I think by the time we had...

Hi Ivan - your comments will be forwarded direct to Jet's chief engineer in Switzerland Mark's comments a few years ago on this forum resulted in Jet machining the face edge of the fence - I'm not aware anyone other manufacturers have ever gone that extra distance any feedback on how Jet can...

Hahaha - touche :lol: :ho2 Wizer - all are available - I will try and ensure that by mid-jan they are online (although if you buy a new machine the manual is included? then again having them online will help e-bayers and the chronically forgetful) :occasion5: Nick

^ :lol: the majority of reponses to your initial post so far just confirm that statement - just maybe not in the way you'd expected though. Please feel free to try and source any Jet items direct Jetman

Hi Wizer - the midway mounting points also allow you to perform taper cuts, as per image below (thanks p11dom - i've used your original) - just place the left hand lock handle into the upper threaded hole (arrowed) and you can swing the fence back to 0 degrees to the blade. Hi p11dom too -...

Hello George Elu was originally a Swiss company and noted for their very high quality products. Elu routers were a class apart. Elu was bought by Black and Decker many moons ago - most Elu derivative machines are now branded Dewalt. The bandsaw you have is a decent enough machine. (I used to...

Thanks for the 'Thanks' Mike (and Kevin) - no problems and happy to help out Although less of the 'went out of his way', as you do realise my bosses read this forum?, and I deviated from official company business during company time :lol: (only joking btw - it's not like I flew to egypt to...

Mike if I can help out I will, I'm actually passing Aldi in Chester tomorrow morning as I'm seeing a customer just down the road from there - Is there anyway of knowing if it's in stock at that store? If it is, I'll happily pick one up for you. Do you want to drop me a pm to sort it? Cheers Nick

Hi Richard - yes, the design upgrade was introduced to overcome the effect of dust building up as you described - with decent extraction most early machines were unaffected - but constant heavy use did see an issue on a small number of machines - hence Jet reacting and changing the design. If...

Hi Shadowfax, we have the belts in stock. I've just sent you a pm with my phone number on it, feel free to contact me via phone or pm if you wish, as depending upon the age of your saw there are two different belts available. Jet upgraded the mechanism for the timing belt about a year ago, and...

Nice one Trim- as already mentioned, any feedback like that is much appreciated - I will also link this thread down to the heavy goods team in Devon, as I'm sure they will be interested to see your pics and thread with ***** the driver in (I won't post his name on here, but I know him well -...

Hi Reg, as Slim said, the whole point to the 'flap' is that it acts as a larger surface area to press when you need to stop the machine.. If you push the red button on the yellow flap and the machine doesn't switch off, then you may have a problem, but that is what it is there for. regards Nick

Hi Paul, to the best of my knowledge all the machined faced fences were made from scratch, it wasn't possible to machine the original extrusion with the grooves in it. Cheers Nick

Hi yfs1 - apologies for not replying to this thread earlier All of the obvious solutions I would have suggested have already been mentioned. It may well just be a 'one off' where something has gone wrong in production and things aren't where they should be on the machine - we have an extremely...

Hi Mike - yes, no problems - can you pm me if that's ok? - I will make sure you get it at the reduced price, but I've just realised that just phoning direct to Axminster or dealers may cause problems because they will probably have it on their systems at the normal price around £55, and you...

Hi Ivan, thanks for the comments - likewise thanks to all others too, Mark appreciated yours especially, in fairness if you hadn't have made that thread then we probably wouldn't have made the changes, so it's all worked out for the best I reckon - hope all is good with yourself too. Ivan...

:rofl: hahahaa - knew I should have put a disclaimer on it :) Stephen, do it as an avatar and you have a free set of blades 8) (chances are the admin/mods will see this as advertising so I will get it in the neck - Hello admin/mods too :D ) All further entries are closed btw :beer: Cheers...

Hi Waka, I saw your earlier thread, and I have already mentioned your comments, although again in fairness yours is the only case we have come across with this issue? That's not to say it isn't an issue, but when the blue power socket connects, there is almost like a a 'double click' when you...

Hi Ivan, I'm on the case & will post back with a price. In fairness I'd beg to differ that the original one was any worse than most other ali fences on the market? 'Not fit for purpose' implies it was banana shaped or something which really wasn't the case. The original fence design in my...
