Thank you Recky33 and Jbonevia, one satisfied customer has just departed homeward with a new-to-him BAS 315 and John is badgering Axy to 'hurry up and deliver my new one'...:cool: Sorry a_sethia, I did ask John about travel, but he has just clipped a digit on a compressor fan and he is in "no...

Jon, no problem, I will send you a "conversation" with John's phone number. He says that the apparent rust is in fact brown paint or stain...apparently, Stan, the owner before him, splashed it around a bit and some got on the saw.

It's a BAS 315; John has the original manual and I believe) the invoice for it. The rust and age marks are cosmetic and in no way interfere with normal woodworking, Jon. And yes, you can certainly see it working.

Hello fellow forumites. I am posting this for my engineer friend John. This is a well-maintained (did I say he was an engineer?), two-owners-from-new, both hobby turners, so no sustained commercial abuse. He wants £100, to include the box of spare blades BUT NOT THE WHEELED BASE - below the...

P.S. Photo four, stonking great saw track off to the right? That wee bracket peeping coyly out between the red saw table and the saw transparent cover is for a two-way morticing table. The bits for same go into the end of the saw spindle. I still have mine and ten years ago, I said I would keep...

Gawd M'Lud, it's been years since I had had thon jobbie... That is a micro adjustable saw fence bar. Only trouble is, you'm missing da fence Mate! You locks the fence on the bar, happroximately right, then rotatae what you call a "thumb wheel" to finesse the fence position to within the...

Sounds like mine. From memory, the "manual" was nigh useless and I may have filed it in the big wickerwork filing cabinet, but I'll have a shufti for you. What IS worth doing is a (I think) a Cosmas Bauer tip, where you take out the spring and sever a couple of coils. I did mine in one coil...

Hello Swalsey, I'm Just a tad further north than Bob, overlooking the Aln.

Surely just a euphemism for..ahmm...dalying, once in there?

Nick, just sent you a PM (which some people call a 'conversation'??) mea culpa on money transfer. All good now. Sam

Hi Jim, just to mix up the race relations, I'm an Ulsterman in voluntary exile, just a few miles north of 'Yer Mon, Lons'. My daughter presently inhabits Beddinburgh, so with trips up there, I get my fix of being a Celt at heart... :cool:

Ahhh...my stamping ground at weekends, keeping fit for Munro bashing at Easter - every year for 25 years. Wee Binion gully is all changed I hear, and Cove Cave is off limits? Shame. Great wee spracle. My favourite has to be Binnion itself. God-awful ascent unless you go up the boiler plates on...

Trostan I would think; the Moyle Way is a good lengthy ramble over it.

I'll have them please. Could you PM me details?

No, nowt to do with "them boys in parkas, hi!"...:cool:; no, my wife developed adrenal cancer. We moved so that she could be within easier reach of my three children. The thought of her in extremis and them trying to get flights out of three different airports, into Belfast, did not bear...

Welcome Rex. I'm another Norn Iron person, living in exile ATM.

Sorry Cozzers, I only kept part two of his article...but...it was by Glenn Roberts, in Issue 8 of "The Router" magazine by Trend Technology; Jim Phillips's venture into publishing. Basically, our Glenn (yup, 2 'ens') slid two pieces of 'C' section steel inside the horizontal brace under the...

Cozzer, a few years ago, an Australian fella had a modified Workmate, with side extensions (rather like some folding campers) that lengthened the 'footprint' of the Workmate and overcame the need for body weight on the step. I'll se if I can find it in my collection of tear sheets.

Put yer fut on the step, like. Just at the near edge to you, problem solved.

Bob's method is similar to my experience too. The two fold-out tables a have a surprising degree of rigidity once set up, but dare you exceed about 4 to 5ft - in old money - the nasty bending moment of overhanging timber increases almost geometrically, and you have all sorts of diffs. I got by...
