Shrubby - explain to me how the markets are completely different ?? In both countries the saw is sold as being a 'professional' power tool, so therefore would expect it to be aimed at the professional market in both countries,, Apart from the powerpack, and laser, it is an identical bit of...

OK, after much checking and wanting to take advantage of Axminsters 10% offer I bought a Bosch GCM 10SD SCMS... Saw arrived, cant fault Axminster, and works fine,,,only thing missing as a feature on the machine - a laser.... Now I know there are differing opinions on the use of laser...but...

definitely a fan of Ray Mears,,,,and its obvious that most of his knowledge is hard gained and that he is respected by the likes of the Royal Marine Artic Warfare Cadre / and the SBS,,,which having met some of them rate as a bunch of very tough professional individuals. I think that Bear's...

Thanks to all - but after leaving it a couple of days - visiting a tool shop and getting a BIG spanner of the right size...30secs and some pressure,,,and the ruddy thing moved.... So go it off,,,check it,,,bit bashed but otherwise OK,,,,I will be ordering a spare from those nice folks at...

Thanks to all who pointed out that its a left hand thread,,,,but had alreadt worked out that,,,, plus had actually applied RTFM (read the flaming manual), becuase I wasn't sure,,,,, and the damn thing is still stuck,,,, :x :x :x :x

Hi Guys... OK,,,I own a Bosch GTS10 Tablesaw,,,,,great machine,,,does all the cutting I need,,,and probably more,,but not gotten there yet... So yesterday while cleaning up and dismantling the workshop (its also a garage), I decided that taking the blade out of the saw to give it and the saw a...

Oilseed **** - Hate the stuff,,, The pollen from it triggers migrane in me,,,been to doc - nothing he can do,,,so its migrane about once a fortnight all summer long... No wonder I enjoy climbing hills and winter sports,,,nice CLEAN air,,, ah,,the joys of summer......

OK folks,,,the time has come to think about a SCMS - so advice, experience would be more than welcome,,,, Couple of things I am wondering about; front slides - save space... must be reasonably portable,,,sooner or later I have to return the workshop to Garage duty,,,so need to be able move...

As something of a forum newbie I can only say that it looks like you are both doing a good job. As far as the magazine goes - I'm a fan, so keep at it,,,

True,,,,but something to consider is that all of the BT stuff,,,openreach, internet etc,,,are all controlled from the same network control centre.. As far as home hub is concerned,,,,Bin it,,,go buy a decent wireless router,,personally I like Netgear,,,and remember to change the passwords and...

Well,,,my 2 cents would be - BT,,,yes,,you probably pay more,,,but when it goes phut,,,u call one company,,,they cant play pass the blame between providers,,,Tiscali blames BT who blames Tiscali,,,etc, etc,,, We had a ISDN line before we went for ADSL, and have to say BT have been as good as...

Thanks to everyone for the get well soon... However!!! Saturday had to make a return visit to A&E as the end of finger had swollen up to twice the size overnight. After the usual 3 hour wait (well it was quiet!), got seen by a doc, and prompt sent to the plastic surgery trauma dept, who...

Well, it had to happen. Despite being careful with the tablesaw, the jointer and the thicknesser and remembering the words of everyone who has ever taught me how to use tools, I got bit... Was using a biscuit jointer on Sunday, had cut most of the slots on the new bathroom cabinet I was...

My experience was that rough sawn was about 1/3rd of the price of PAR. That was for Southern Yellow Pine... So did some calculations and bought a planner/thicknesser and a jointer,,,, The freedom it gives it worth the cost anyday,,,

Well, after comparing prices of finished and unfinished timber and looking at all the things I want to make in the future, I've decided to bite the bullet and have ordered a planer and a thicknesser from Axminster. Planer is the Axminster own brand, (looks the same as the perform one shown in...

Byron et all Looks like your right, so now looking into options for a planner / thicknesser,,,, if I'm going to spend in the £600 bracket I want something thats going to last,,,,so the $64000 question, - what would you guys recommend ???

hmmm - beginning to think thay a planner thicknesser may be my only result, then buy 'raw' material and machine it myself,,,,, but, I have part time use of the garage, so anything I buy has got to fit in a very limited space - another can of worms,,,, any easy recommendations ???

Bryon, No need for apologies, I appreciate the help....

and guess what - Atkins and Cripps have the material but cant machine it for me... and there's no way I'm going to get away with buying a planner thicknesser as well.... not my day is it.....

Thanks Guys I will try Atkins and Cripps their web site looks good. Not going back to EO Burton, after two bad experiences not happy to give them my money,,,,, thanks for the fast response....
