How easy would it be to source a motor if i bought a Startrite 275 3 phase and changed the motor to single phase? Would a modern motor fit it OK? My present table saw has an induction motor and is very quiet, are all new motors now induction motors? I had a look at some but they did not say if...

Surely people look at the specs and photos and work out they are the same saws but with a £500 price difference

Thanks, seems ITech do a 12 inch model 01446 for £2000 and SIP also do a 01446 model for £2500? Same model number?

I looked at the laguna but they only go up to 10 inch, just more powerful motors in the fusion 3 model

Both look like the same saws but in different paint jobs?

I was looking at table saws and SIP do a 10 inch one for £2000, it looks the same as the Axminster 10 inch which is £1500. Same with their 12 inch version, £2500 compared to the Axi version for £2000. How comes they are £500 more? Never thought SIP were a premium brand

Thanks for the reply, the lever/bracket on the left can be removed if you need to sand wider boards, so leave it open ended. It does not really give much support to the drum as its all made of cast iron. It only moves up and down turning the main up/down wheel. The manual was bare minimum and...

I've bought one of the Charnwood drum sanders One end is secured with a lever and the other end is attached to the cast frame. Just wondered if there is a way to check everything is parallel between motorised bed and sanding drum and how to adjust if necessary? Thanks

Thanks I've asked him the questions, see what he comes back with

Any views on this table saw, the seller said it has a 440mm blade. It's 240 v... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116246462721?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=n4KeN24nR1m&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=jli98DFjRne&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Looking for a single phase table saw, prefer 12 inch. Anybody selling? Im not to bothered due to space about a sliding attachment, just a solid cast iron table

I have a scheppach TS82 table saw which I bought around 15 years ago. Cast iron table top and a pressed steel base, with 8 inch blade and 1100 watt motor. It came with all the sliding cross cut parts but never used because I didn't have the use or room to use them. it's done me proud and still...

I have just recently bought a lathe. I bought a Myford ML7 which had been restored. It's over 75 years old, I paid £500. I have spent another £300 or so on bits of tooling for it Quick change tool post, ball turning tool, various collet holders, rear tool post etc. So if you buy used and it has...

I did see this Which for £60 didn't seem that bad. It's A4 size and could put extra quick release clamps around the edge. 10mm steel platen

No it will be cut into small 70mm x 18mm x 2mm pieces. So no substrate. More of a plywood Initially i wanted to cut some 2mm thick pieces of Maple or Mahogony with my bandsaw, which didnt really go to plan. I have since ordered a Bow bandsaw featherboard which im awaiting to arrive so will give...

Hi thanks, so its not a good idea? I did fear that they will not come out as hoped. Three wavy pieces of thin wood glued together, will come out as a thick wavy piece of wood? I have been looking on lots of veneer sites and see some selling constuction veneer, which is 1.5mm thick. I could up...

Slightly different question to the one asking about buying a veneer press. I started looking at buying veneers already cut to a 0.6mm thickness They are quite reasonable priced for the size I want..The items I'm making is only 70mm x 18mm x 1.8mm. I also saw shops selling construction...

Hi could do, but I have a pile of off cuts of hardwood, so thought I'd have a go.

Is there an alternative to a accu slice in the UK? Can you buy them in the UK and what cost are they?

Hi thanks, I had another go and a little better. I cut it at 3mm and then stuck it to a piece of furniture board and passed it through my drum sander until it was 1.8mm. it strange but in my normal woodworking I'm happy to the nearest 1mm. Start trying to do veneers with a digital caliper as a...
