I'm 95% sure we sold these with a 16amp blue plug on.. I know at shows we could occasionally get away with swopping for 13amp 3pin as organisers 16amp supply cost a fortune, but it was hit and miss if we blew other stands electric off. Did you buy it 2nd hand? Or if new did it come with a 3pin...

1% is what it is on that order maybe and fair play in just a day that's no issues, but factories we deal with now say... Frames for saws – 43% Sheet metal – 100% - US and EU can hardly get it from China. Export from Tw increased by 89% in Q1. Woodworking machines are not the priority Copper –...

Interesting thanks for the link, and the comment below from that report applies to many other products / retailers now I'm sure. "• Those less able to hold stocks or less willing to plan their needs in advance were unable to spot-purchase quantities: this was a particular problem for builders’...

Hi Flynnnwood, yes, that sounds about right - mail from Taiwan contact below - this is what's happening over there regarding factory raw material increases, plus they now have their potential first Covid wave starting with just 3% vaccinated (population 23mill) - this will affect supply and...

Many things are only going to go up in price and lower in availability until Q3 2022 at earliest I think. Import / cost pricing is still crazy as a friendly heads up to all in case you hadn't already read about it - If you can get something and it's an Ok price, then fair play. Just letting you...

Agreed - not an issue for us luckily as ours go out horizontal, but I have several customers who use a tilt indicator device when sending upright - generic link below, not an endorsement - if nothing else, they say as soon as the courier sees it they tend to take a bit more care than normal...

@Westy619 Just a heads up - you may want to contact them as I sent a mail out to all retailers yesterday explaining we cannot guarantee forward pricing September onwards... Pricing will be confirmed when containers leave TW - 6-8 weeks prior to landing in UK.

Hi James, We are in the same metaphorical boat as everyone else I'm afraid. We do still have stock coming in (ordered a long time back), but increased global demand and slower factory supply means it is virtually all pre-sold to retailers before it even lands. Some retailers have ordered extra...

Ah - OK not on a container then, my mistake - I don't know how European lorries work so that may be true they need to quarantine Anyways glad you got sorted with your saw. Cheers Nick

Container deliveries are still all over the place, but being told it's 'going into quarantine'?? That's a new one - did it need 2 X PCR Covid tests too? :confused: 🤣

If it's just one end to move by 6 inches, then position headstock/banjo/tailstock to the other end and just push it, or use levers as suggested - shouldn't be too hard assuming you don't need to lift it over anything? But as DickM said, make sure the other end is not fixed down.

Hi John, it was never the best for extraction as it was designed primarily as a 'site saw' - but I always loved the over-engineering in that saw - lovely cantilever action on the chop. Extraction on the chop was by way of a shroud under the table. part #105 Extraction on the rip was just by...

We always called them tack cloths - ha but that's 30 years back when I worked painting narrow boats in Brum. 240g flattening 1st gloss coat on a DA sander / air blast dust off / wipe all over with white spirit, then 'tack cloth' all over before final gloss coat. Amazing how much the cloths...

Hi Wend, You are right that a lot of inserts have holes in - Ha, I've never even thought about this before and don't profess to know the answer why they have them, but for what it's worth ours are solid pieces and I've never heard of any issues. Surely even with holes in they are covered by the...

Hi Kevin, we carry good stocks of pre-cut belts - approx £25 inc vat for a pack of 4 with different grit options. 36/80/120/150/180 G Or you can just buy standard 3" wide cloth back longer rolls from elsewhere & cut your own. Using a cleaner stick massively extends the belt life too as it will...

No worries - got it cheers & e-mail sent

Hi Farlsborough, It's a JWBS14 - I have the CE manual and exploded parts view in PDF and Word format. If you want to private message me your e-mail address I will send them over. There would have been a small stand with it originally too - maybe old owner got rid of? I'm sure that is the CE...

Ha oh damn, just realised you Edinburgh - scratch my drunken offer ;) OK - Next I'm Scottish I'm happy to call in to chat if you want as long as I get a cuppa (y)

Hi Droogs, Charnwood are the Laguna sole importers - we all work together in the same premises / warehousing - selling both brands through slightly different retail distribution networks that also have many crossovers. I joined Charnwood to bring Laguna into the UK, as their logistics and...

Just as an anecdote, one of my accounts up in Cumbria produce large amounts of natural wood sawdust/ shavings through their sawmill/joinery shop - that costs a lot to dispose of commercially. They told me they struck a deal with another local factory who produce smoked fish, who then collected...
