Just raised a ticket with Felder. Thanks people (and apologies once again Scouse Kev) for jumping in. I will report back when resolved in case it is helpful for others.

I always use the saw's switch gear holding the start until at full speed and switching off with the stop button. Like yours it's been faultless but it's showing this issue now, I don't momentarily push to start with this issue, I hold until it finally starts up. I also run a Hammer K3 and an A3...

+1, mine does that and never knew why until now. Actually started having issues starting up a few days ago, replaced the starter cap and checked the rotor which is fine. Problem is I need to press the start button a few times before it kicks in. Don't suppose any other N4400 users can shed...

As above, a dehumidifier would help to deal with moisture and also help to supply heat. This came up recently on another thread. Use a desiccant type not the compressor version. Compressor units will not work under around 10 degrees which defeats the point whilst desiccant units will and...

Looks unusual and as a technical challenge I'd say you pulled that off with aplomb.

Welcome. If your looking to restore an old bandsaw of that vintage without the necessary skills or tools and expect it to be a user I suspect you will very quickly be knee deep in costly receipts and regret. Buy a new one or find a middle ground and buy an old working single phase Startrite to...

To be fair, contrasting a man producing cost effective and well respected blades for cutting wood in a predominantly hobby environment to single crystal cast alloyed components that are subsequently electron beam plasma deposited with a ceramic coating in a purpose built environment costing over...

No 10 is going back the seller, he's already refunded me even before I've shipped it back to him. I can't really complain there. He may get low marks for packing but 10 out of 10 for dealing with an issue.

Thanks for the advice and offers for further advice people, it is appreciated. To add a little detail, I live in the middle of a forest and own a very small part of it (and I mean a very very small part, like 3 acres if that and my lot is only partially covered in trees). There is a fair bit of...

Not suggesting they are robbing anyone's account, my comment was in response to those that suggest Axminster deserve purchase loyalty because they offer customer care over other retailers who are actually selling the same product. The original point to the thread was the excessive pricing to...

And that's assuming FFX and DM Tools have none to be fair. I've used all three and can honestly say there is little difference between them, certainly not enough to warrant unquestionable devotional access to my bank account.

How about this; https://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/Dra ... BMQAvD_BwE Or this package; http://www.dm-tools.co.uk/product.php/s ... motvrxl9dg which is the full kit equivalent at £117 cheaper than the TS200 version. Admittedly, the basic one is a wapping £1 more. There will be slight...

I wouldn't pine too much, they are lovely but not a huge loss. Plenty of them about and plenty of generic sellers oblivious to their slightly higher value. I've had low knob 5's for less than £20 in the last year. They are out there and there a-plenty. I have no experience of Union planes...

Brilliant info paulm, thanks for that. I expected loss of material given the chain width but this would have ended up as firewood anyhow and I'd rather use it if I can.

Anyone used a portable chainsaw mill, similar to the Alaskan mills? I'm taking a few trees down in the year and wanted to know if anyone had any experience of the current batch of chainsaw adapters that allow basic milling of in-situ felled trees. I have a couple of small saw's (can't remember...

This has been Axminster's M.O. for a lot longer than 18 months. Also, bear in mind that Axminster is just a branch of Brimarc, one finger in the pie. Again, I'm glad they exist just don't appreciate the price hikes and differences is all.

There are a few ways to deal with this; Heat the shop beyond the dew point. Dehumidify Ventilate All three will require adequate insulation and relevant sealing to some degree. My own approach is to insulate where ever possible and run a dehumidifier. I also have background thermostatic...

To be fair, I think the seller is kicking himself as well. As noted on the edit in my OP he is being very responsive and professional about the whole thing which has significantly taken the edge off it all.

Don't suppose you have a well wrapped No 10 do you?

Yeah I know it's a mild inconvenience to me, just feel bad for the unnecessary aspect of it. Had a 5 1/2 type 11 plane turn up a while back in a jiffy bag. The thing was in multiple pieces and the seller was a tool seller. Beggars belief...
