No sorry you are just plain wrong and it certainly isn’t nonsense, happens quite often, plenty to be seen on YouTube. Glad to hear you use a riving knife and crown guard, you Americans are infamous for not using them. Ian

The only other one I can think of is the Hammer C31, but they are more expensive. The Minimax comes as either single or three phase but as it’s more of a hobby type level mc most are probably single. Ian

Welcome, that’s a worry we all face when moving house, will I have a workshop big enough? I suppose like a lot of other people you will have to change your work style to suit your circumstances, going all manpowered only is definitely gaining momentum. Ian

I have a Minimax 26cg. 10” saw and planer thicknesser plus a spindle moulder, you might have to pay a little more than your budget though. Having always used big dedicated single machines before I was wary about a combination mc, but it’s pretty good and I’m glad I went down this route ( now I’m...

Haha. Well maybe death is a little extreme, but you could lose one of those eyes you say you’re going to keep open lol. Or is it extreme? A tablesaw blade can definitely flick a piece of wood through a drywall, if it was pointed it may just be able to skewer you? I can understand what you say...

Simple, Trumps policies are extremely popular with the average American- with good reason I might add. I agree that he isn’t the sort of personality I could normally vote for but with but the carp they have had to endure from Politicians for a lot of years things have reached bursting point. 10...

@Mike Davies (TheWebtuts) yes single phase, Sedgwick, good old British engineering, a bit agricultural maybe but just keeps on going and going. One of the things I really like about using it is the foot operated "off switch" in exactly the right place with no fumbling when both hands are full of...

(Sorry to be pedantic but it’s wondering) yes I remember it well, some quite wonderful work, I remember a small hexagonal box with lift up lids, it was exquisite. Sorry though don’t have any further info. Ian

I had forgotten that one, brill!

@BodgerM_497 whoops, no exact opposite, the smaller the width you are cutting the less fence on the table, the uk safety rules mean that if you were cutting a 5mm slice off a piece of wood the end of the fence would be just past the sawtooth nearest to you. As you cut wider pieces the fence can...

Haha, yes the rip fence was a nightmare, the slider I’m still not sure about tbh, after the Sedgwick it’s time consuming and I haven’t got my head round fastening the wood down to cut it each time, but tbh I’ve hardly had time to play with it properly yet. ( I am leaving my big saw behind when I...

That was really nice of you to spend the time doing that. Ian

Ah yes the deposit scheme, sounds like a good idea particularly for the tenant, till they are moving out and not particularly flush with funds, they need the deposit for their next let, in the past for a good tenant this could be arranged. Not anymore, the delay in the refund from the scheme...

I have one of these, a Sedgwick which has a crosscut side sliding thing, they are about £3k new but within your budget second hand, totally bomb proof. I have had mine (s/h) for almost 20 years now and still faultless, highly recommend. The cross cut drops down out of the way when not needed and...

Hopefully the op (from Canada) will be back on soon to put us out of our collective misery’s

And wipe with a dry cloth. Lol.

" what you want to do it’s just kind of gradually ease out. You’re kind of always holding out the hope they catch up with the bus do you know what I mean?…… Did you see how he slammed the door right in her face that time? That’s called your perfect pull out " Bob Newhart, in this sketch he...

Feel for you @Ozi, happened to my previous lady, totally soul destroying. Jacob says making people homeless isn’t the answer, I don’t suppose I would wish that on them but the effect is the same when no sane person would rent to them in the first place, just what do you do with the feckless...

Is the suggestion that he has made it all from timber? Which would be quite an achievement. Or is it an Airstream painted? Ian
