Try contacting Maffell too for an onsite demo to see if they have anything - they are v. good tools made for heavy European timber jobs like this & they are good guys. https://nmatools.co.uk/product-category/mafell/

Hi @mg123 -Sorry to hear your situation & your post has touched a nerve with me - I can't offer any specific advice on your next move, but if it helps to know that you are not the only person who's job/career has been upturned in an instant after all the hard work you have done. It is...

@Sideways - wow great pics - nice one - I'm going back outside now

I don't know that model, but Run Capacitor seems likely as the issue. Some machines have 2 capacitors, start and run - if you google you will see more.

It's weird as I know the ins and outs of many machines to a fairly detailed level, I sell them but I'm not a full time woodworker as a trade. When it comes down to doing stuff around the house, I often over compensate and take forever to do a simple job making it overly complicated and pull out...

Nice one @Tris - where are you roughly? Edit ha sorry, your location is in profile - that's good as you are below me as I'm Midlands despite having worked in Shetlands & Norway I've never seen it & it's just like one of those things I'd love to see I've read about 2am is best in UK so a few more...

Hi @Sideways TGS flip overs were superb for their time - I thought this old pic from '96 included a TGS, but it's PS274 crosscut - I'm posting it anyway for nostalgia from my Elu days.. Also sadly my good mate 'big Dougie' from Elu is no longer with us. He was a top man. Nick

Hi Blister, thanks & yes I joined as JetMan as you remember well - good to see you still around too & I still remember our meeting at Ali Pali - must be almost 20 years back - And ha you are still using the user profile pic of Ali Pali that used to animate with a planer thicknesser on top of a...

Hi Peter, thanks & it's always good to see you too mate - will speak in the week hopefully about Laguna as things have changed unfortunately since we spoke.

Sergeant Pepper may very well have told the band to play, But it was also when I joined this lovely forum. (OK technically I've got 5 hours to go for exactly 20 years looking at my user stats, but I'm not staying up that late as all my spiced rum has now been drunk ;) ) I just wanted to mark...

@Stigmorgan I don't really have any specific advice to add but just to wish you all the best mate - feeling down for whatever reason is very hard - I admire you and others for saying it on here as it is - it's not easy to say. I know. Just want to say it's been helpful personally to read...

Hi @Ollie78 - the arbor is 5/8" - the 30mm blade sits on the supplied washer with a 30mm flange that is the width of a blade. Anything wider than a blade would need to be 5/8" bore or it will not be clamped correctly - and directly mounted using a different flat washer.

Edited for clarity I hope: Hi @Gandalfs Staff , we decided on 30mm blade bore with CE spec as 10" / 30mm bore blades are pretty much standard in Europe and easy to get - plus cheaper to buy vs 5/8 bore blades. The arbor is still 5/8" though. The 30mm bore blades sit on the supplied washer...

Hi @Spectric, @Doug71 & all - sorry it's a late reply in this thread. Yes, Fusion 1, Fusion 2 and Fusion 3 saws all have a 5/8" diameter arbour that is approx. 31mm long (I love mixing my metric and imperial ;)) Saw blade bore is a standard 30mm by way of a flange on the supplied washer (that...

Hi @Rhossydd - when I was there some time back, that was exactly how it worked & I also understand why. I would call HQ and sometimes find there was a boxed Jet machine sitting in a store somewhere that I needed to help out a retailer sale (despite being out of stock on the central system) & I'd...

That is the only reason I have one. I now get £430 extra a month in my take-home pay due to the low BIK tax on EV company cars. I felt the Govt. already took enough off me - this was a no brainer, although not a decision I took for any environmental reasons. I'll still miss my diesel with the...

Hi @XTiffy, it has already happened - right opposite us in lockdown 2020 £1 million found they said. No-one arrested, despite other company owners on our estate informing the police of their suspicions due to the smell at least 1 month prior to the raid...

Happy new bandsaw & thanks for buying one - My view is I'd rather factories put too much grease on than less, I can only recall maybe 4 rust issues on any cast table delivery in last 5 years - but yup it can take a bit of cleaning to remove in the mitre slots when it has dried solid - WD40 is...

Hi Sideways, agreed on being careful on tail lifts. It was sometime mid 2000's Harrogate show and Freud were using pallet crates (basically a pallet with 3ft sides around it) to remove all their stock after the show. The crate was fully stacked up with saw blades / router bits etc - basically...

Hi Dean, hope all is well & yes that definitely looks like the rise fall shaft, and the pointy bit will be your your angle indicator. Looks like handwheel has snapped as you said - that's the remnants of the handwheel stuck on the exposed shaft with the locking knob that goes in front of the...
