    A special day for us.

    Fantastic. It always seems so nice when these are given out to couples who have made it. Well done. We have a few years to go yet, but this month will be No 53. Malcolm

    Hi Mike, Have you phoned R S Paskin at Kidderminster as they have a show on yesterday and today? If not, phone today and ask to speak with the Record man that will be there during the show time. Malcolm

    HUMIDITY LEVELS

    All sounds very logical. It was just that some of the timber on shelves seemed a little damp even though the garage is sound. I do put it down to having wet cars in there from time to time, but tgoday I had the heaters on and humidity has come down to 65 so far. Will keep the dehumidifier going...

    HUMIDITY LEVELS

    Thanks Guys, so ideally, what should the workshop/garage be maintained at if possible? Does anyone have a temp/humidity reader they can recommend? Malcolm

    HUMIDITY LEVELS

    The dehumidifier I have purchased has settings of 40%-50%-60%, but I have no idea what this means in terms of keeping timber in my garage dry enough. I was going to ask for help, but as I was writing this, I was also searching on my other screen for information, which I have now found. This...

    Band Saw

    Hi Mike, I did not change the original guides of the BS400 as they work well, but I did buy an additional single guide from USA called a Carter SWtabilizer, as seen on Alex Snodgrass video, which is specifically for blades of 1/4" or less and I use a 1/8" blade regularly. Nothing at all wrong...

    Excalibur Scrollsaws

    BE VERY CAREFUL.............................if you start making changes to anything, you may invalidate the guarantee. I have asked one of the managers at Axminster to look at the foot switch question and also I commented on the way the wiring of the NVR switch has been done and if it was...

    Band Saw

    Hi Mike. those are not very well known, so no idea how reliable or the quality of service or guarantee which is very important. Regarding the 300 and 300E, (surprised that owners have not responded so far) this was probably only slight changes as the 300 series were improved. The latest 300...

    Startrite 403 Bandsaw - Review?

    Hi and welcome to the forum. Have you checked out other reviews such as buy-used-startrite-352-or-new-record-bs400-t90978-15.html Also have you compared the BS400? There should be loads of reviews on most machines and I feel sure that someone will soon be along that soon has one of these to...

    Bandsaw Blade drifting from thrust bearing

    Your allignment will be correct once the machine has been correctly set up. It's a question of where the blade is on the wheel. Malcolm

    Axminster Trade Series SBW4300B Bandsaw

    Regarding the dust extraction, having just purchased the new Axminster Trade Ex16 scrollsaw, the system they adopt for extraction is very good. Something similar could possibly be made for the BS400 with allowing access for the blade entry and it's something I may be looking at soon. However...

    Bandsaw Blade drifting from thrust bearing

    Ben, what size blade and timber were you using? Also, when I first saw the Alex Snodgrass video and tried to replicate it, I needed to watch that video several times and do many adjustments with the guides etc before I managed to get it right. It does take time and it's important to ensure...
