    Workshop Insurance

    Axminster TS250-2 modifications.

    My collector is mounted to the stand and not the saw, it’s a tight press fit to the saw body. I placed a couple of blocks on the diagonal and at the back to support it. I’ll take some more photos but it won’t be until later this week. The crown guard wasn’t successful and I would buy a new...
