Yeah Have the BS300E there is 2 grub screws at the front and rear. Difficult to see while assembled but if you look at the 2 photo's I have attached. You will see I have marked the allen key in front and rear shots. I removed the table backed all 4 off then bolted the tabe down. Checked for...

Looked at couple of articles on tru-oil it shows it as very time consuming to get the required result. Will put that one on the back buner for now and go for the wipe on varnish method and see what result I get. Thank for the link.

Hi I have the BS 300e which has the same guide system as the 400. Like you I don't like the system with the disc's. They just don't seem right if you know what I mean !! But setting them as shown with in the video I got with it,does seem to work fine. Don't like the system at all on 3/16"...

Opened parcel with my new Draper 52001 disc/belt sander arranged all the bit,fitted them switched on ! NOTHING!. Took all the bits off packed it back,now awaiting pickup and replacement. Next time switch on first. Not an happy poacher. :evil:

I am using the NILFISK AERO 26-21 PC 1250W 25LTR WET & DRY VACUUM CLEANER 240V Works great on all my kit with small adaption methods on some.Even the bag can be used more than once with a cut at the corner. Then fold over and clamp for next use. See how it works on the Draper 50021 Alex mine...
