    Sold SOLD - Record PT260

    Hi Steve. Obviously transport needed and the Instruction Manual states the weight to be 85Kg plus you would need to add the packing and a Pallet (weight?), but transporters should know roughly what that is. Then picked up and delivered. If you want to find out the cost for someone to collect...

    Bandsaw Blades

    Tuffsaw blades have been very good for me for the last 5 years and only had a couple break that was my fault when I wrongly set the tension too high. To have 5 break suggests that you have not tuned the bandsaw correctly. However, when a break is at the weld, Tuffsaw have repaired it for free...

    Buying a bandsaw

    As I expect you may well want a larger size that you start out with and if that were the case, if you buy a new machine, you would be reluctant to change. Possibly try a second hand bandsaw to start with, learn the basics and get used to working with it, then it;s easier to move up. There are...

    Triton routers for under a table - Quick TRA query

    Did the same and it was no problem at all. It folds down flat against the worktop when not in use and made good use of an old formica topped kitchen table.

    Routing for beginners (and routing tables)

    Depends what you want to use the Router for. I only use mine occasionally, so made my table using an old formica top kitchen table. Took the legs off, hinged the side to hang under the top om my wall bench and fitted a couple of swing down legs to support when in use. For the fence, I built this...

    Replace table saw with bandsaw and track saw.

    A excellent video and great job on the boxes. I have not made a roll top box myself, but you certainly have it well planned out and make it easier for others to follow. Well done. Malcolm Badger Woodcrafters

    Advice on which youtuber might review my new products

    Unfortunately we do not all get what we deserve and although your products are excellent, I doubt that you will make enough money to have a good living from all you have here. My main comment can perhaps be bet linked to the box making. I have made bandsaw boxes for the last 5 years and...

    Band saw Table Adjustment

    Adjust the bolts that hold the table down. Not sure about this machine, but many others do allow a small amount of adjustment. A fiddly job but worth dong and checking from time to time to get a perfect 90 degrees front to back and side to side.

    Router buying advice

    Using a table without a means of raising the head from above is a pain. As mentioned, the Triton TRA001 is really good and as a 1/2", you can use a 1/4" collett when using smallr bits. The 1/2" bits will give greater strength if you need it. I mounted the TRA 001 under my own home made, hinged...

    Bandsaw advice - anyone got an Axminster AT2552B?

    The Record may be a better buy. I have has a BS400 for several years and no problems at all.

    bandsaw help

    I have the BS400 and the tyres fit the wheel. However, it should not make too much difference as the blades are usually running in the middle of the wheel. Why did you only change one tyre, as it is usual to change both to match. If the other tyre is full width, make a call to Record and just...

    Bandsaw - Carter Stabilizer

    May I please ask if anyone with a Record BS 350S bandsaw has ordered a Carter Stabilizer for their machine, if so, what is the model number? Someone has been asking me for information about the one I have for my BS400 and I do not know if it is the same model stabilizer, so it would help to...

    BANDSAW HELP !!!

    I wonder if any of the replies you received were of help? It's always nice to know when a member has managed to sort out a problem, but in a few times, the member asking the question never replies, so others have no idea if you are progressing with your problem.
