Got to be honest, I’m still saving but I wanted to tentatively ask if anyone is selling their corded makita tracksaw for a decent price? I’m currently saving to get one from screwfix, but if I can save a wedge every penny counts!

I can’t keep getting it in and out to fix it, buggered spine and it’s jolly heavy! Plus not everyone has or can afford a tablesaw (as I can’t), so it’s good for the channel to show small workshops how stuff can be done. 300 quid is a lot easier to accumulate for most people than a reasonable...

My Axminster TS250 induction motor cast iron top tablesaw has been customised to make it better as it’s from a former line. - Mitre slots have been professionally machined to accept 19mm (modern) mitre slot stuff - Custom zero clearance depth has been deepened so you can make a chunkier zero...

Yes, the makita corded seems to be well loved. It’s the weight difference I wondered about though as those quoted online are wrong - with the Erbauer at least

My current tracksaw is the Erbauer which weighs in at 5.62kg (the screwfix website lies). I have a variety of health issues and so the weight doesn’t do need any good. The makita is a well respected and affordable Saw and is around 25% lighter at allegedly 4.1kg but I’ve not weighed it...

Probably, but as I said at the start of the post, I can’t afford to replace it. Sliding rail? The fence rail? It’s Axminster. A combo of the new style rail with the old style fence that’s been adapted to fit

It’s incredibly annoying, there’s a bit that locks into the track to stop the Saw from going backwards at any stage

My old Axminster Hobby range TS250 tablesaw died again recently, as I can’t afford another I’m changing how I do stuff. I think it’ll also be good for my YouTube channel and people with small workshops/budget tools. Anyway I’d previously made this cabinet for the saw And I wanted to keep on...

I posted a question about an Erbauer router that I’m trying to fix and it didn’t get any replies, and that’s just one of those things, but it did make me wonder if today’s throwaway society is rife within the Maker community as well. For me I love to bring life back to stuff, not just vintage...

Shame there isn’t any experience with these particular routers. Do people just buy new rather than fix stuff these days?

I picked up a second hand Erbauer ER2100 to go into a router table today. Noob issue and didn’t get the chap to plug it in. It may or may not have worked at this point. I stripped it in order to make an above table lift. In the process the bushes came out and broke, but so did this what I...

I managed to be an ***** and break my bandsaw. RIP lower blade guide, so I’m looking for another I’ve tried JB Weld but that worked as well as week old chewing gum. I think the Dewalt version is the same as mine I have spent today trying to make my own mounts with bearings instead of...

I had a bit of a challenging weekend with my fibromyalgia and was a bit down, so I decided on making something for a bit of fun So I made a little thing that was supposed to represent my pooch (very low artistic skills lol)

I can cut myself alarmingly easily on pretty much anything metal. Often not too big but I don’t realise until little puddles of claret show up on the work piece

I’m in the middle of updating my old ATS250 from their Hobby range. In taking it apart I found the pulley wheel from the motor quite difficult to turn. I posted about it on my Instagram and YouTube and everyone said the bearings were stuffed. I was about to order bearings and had a sensible...

Thanks all

For the DIYers I guess, but any recommendations on rattle can lacquers? So far I’ve had more success with car paint lacquer than stuff supposedly for wood when it comes to rattle cans
