Your thinking is on the right lines Steve. You always get what you pay for. Anyone can start out with a small second hand machine and work up from there, but if you can stretch to the 300 series of Record, then you are well set. Don't forget that it is als0 the blades (Tuffsaw are best) and...

Fantastic talent. Hope it makes shedloads of money for those involved as they deserve it.

Not my thumb, it was Brian's.(Claymore's)

........................Brian ps managed to saw my thumb last night ouch! blood everywhere but serves me right trying to do one last cut with a pretty blunt blade and putting too much pressure on it then all of a sudden it cut like butter including my thumb Grrrrrrrrrrr. I usually hold the wood...

Hi Chris, you could always ask that begger fraudster that lives in Newquay to pay for it. According to the Mail today, he has been begging on the streets all around pretending to be a homeless Vet, down on his luck from the Paras, with service abroad and asking for help. He's collecting...

Just had a call from Axminster to say the new Ex 21 and 16 have arrived and they are getting ready for display. I will be going there tomorrow, Although they will not allow any cutting on the new machine, they did have one of the guys with the Excalibur EX16 in the store, but he was asked to...

I remember seeing Steve Maskery' video on Luthier clamps. If you don't need a lot of pressure, make em yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjKglYx2XTE Malcolm and this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyKiY-OK7WM I use some of these - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkIDgLb9UNw

If you are fairly sure you are buying on the day, speak with the retailer ands see if you can get free invitation rather than paying to attend?

Elf & Safty like these. :mrgreen:

Hi Steve, at R.S Paskin's of Kidderminster, on my BS400 I had £100 off the price and free delivery. Smaller machines would reduce a little. They have another sale - Demo 11 & 12th March Don't forget that the blades you need to order are the ones made by Tuffsaw as they are far superior as...

Here you go Pete .... http://www.dollshouse.com/dolls-house-hardware/ Should be something suitable there.

Probably because of the chang over from Excalibur to Axminster even though the parts are the same, the numbering may be different. If you look for the same part on the Excalibur and then phone them, they should have a quick way to convert? Worth a try? Malcolm

I did hear on one of the posts, that someone had extended the fence bar and moved the bolts, but cannot remember who it was.

Glasses steam up from your breath, as you already know, but as I wear glasses, I use a dust mask by Trend, the Airace http://www.manomano.co.uk/catalogue/wel ... Gwodf5ULPQ As I wear glasses, these are great and don't steam up, so if you were wearing these, then there would not be any air/steam...

Well done, but I bet that bandsaw wasd rather heavy to move around. It seems to work very well and you should get some good timber from it. If you are intending to plane when ready, I would have thought a slightly thicker cut would be more appropriate? Malcolm

You may get some help by phoning Axminster head office at Axminster to explain your situation and ask if you can buy the Ex16 and get them to pack it in 3. They may not wish to do that, but you could try. You would need to understand how it goes together. At the same time you could enquire what...

At the show, you should get a discount and free delivery. I had the larger Record BS400 from Paskins and have had other Record equipment from them as well. Nice company to deal with. Malcolm

Never realised you had a RR Andy. Very nice.

Mike, this week end http://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/toolshow Possibly Record may be there. Give them a ring and if you cannot make the show, you may be able to get the discount deal, plus free shipping, but do it now as it probably finishes soon. Malcolm...

The BS300 series of Record bandsaws are good and will carry a 5 year guarantee. Even cheaper if you buy when there is a demonstration sale that Record have across the country at various times with different distributers. A good blade from Tuffsaw Blades would do the job nicely and resale of the...
