I've had the Fox 2hp extractor for about 6 months and it's really good. It's fairly big though so check footprint and room available.

I've PM'ed you some pictures etc Ewan. Ray

I still have my 12v (old style battery) Makita angle drill. Very good tool indeed. This and my 9.6v Makita stapler are the only tools I haven't upgraded to Li-Ion. And by the looks of prices for both it'll stay like that.. :shock:

I'll try and draw something up on Sunday and take some pictures tomorrow whilst I'm in there.

Hi Ewan, I don't have any plans but I'm sure I can draw some up. Unless you want me to just measure mine up and post?

It's worth a shot. I've done it in the past and it worked well. I tried to hold off as long as possible to move to Li-Ion just because I had so many Ni-Cd / NiMH Makita stuff. Just decided one day last year to sell all and move to Li-Ion. It's a different world. Old Makita stuff still holds...

I made myself a couple of folding worktables and have been using them for the last 6 years without a problem. They easily fold up on theirselves and can be stored behind the door if I need the space. Mine are a 1000 x 600 but you can make them in any size you want really. They even slot...

My SIP 01929 dust extractor gave up the ghost a few months ago and has now been replaced by two different dust extractors. I have 4 unused paper filter bags (67212) left bought from Midlands Tool Supplies for £6.00 each. https://www.sipuk.co.uk/sip-67212-paper ... 01929.html These also fit...

That's not a bad idea at all! I'm back in the shed tomorrow and have a look/think about that. Thanks again. (Sorry for the thread hijack)

I have one of those cheap cyclones as well and it's doing its job really well. I must have emptied the barrel (60L) 6 or 7 times and there's only a tiny bit of dust in the dust extraction bag on the extractor. I had to modify the in and outlets to take a 50mm hose but it's working great. I...

Just noticed that. Looks like an impressive setup. I wonder how much more suction it gives. On the hunt for some small square or rectangular collection boxes. Thanks again. :D

Thanks for that diagram. Mine didn't come with any paperwork.

Thanks I'll have a look at both of them. In the mean time I just had 2 Axminster cutters through the post this morning. The SIP ones used to be good and cheap. Shame about the bearings that came with them.

Cheers chaps, Thanks for confirming that 2 cyclones on 1 barrel is a no. Swapping pipes is a bit awkward as my existing cyclone is one of those cheap ones of eBay. About a tenner IIRC. The in and outlet are 54mm so I had to make them smaller with a sanding drum and it is rather hard to get on...

Sorry Mike. I've reread the reviews on a computer screen rather than my phone. I thought the first review was yours as it has a link to your TS modifications thread. I'll have a ring round and see if I can source the table and sliding table. Dimensions are smaller than the Charnwood which...

Also, would you be able to give me the full dimensions width and depth including the sliding table and extension table. Would be grateful if you could as I can't seem to obtain that from their website. Thanks in advance

Cheers Steve, I'll order one of those in to try.

I did have a look at that one Mike but both the saw and the sliding table are out of stock and they have no idea when they'll be available again. I assume you reviewed the saw on their website and said you wouldn't buy it again. Just interested what you have upgraded to now.

Hi all, I have been making toy boxes for the last 6-7 years and use a dovetail jig to join the panels together. I used to buy these in bulk as my first jig was a 300mm SIP with an aluminium comb. Later used on my new Axminster 600mm jig with 'plastic' comb...

Looking at a couple of reviews of the Charnwood W619 and W629 and the mitre slots are not standard size and seem sloppy. Not sure what to look at now as the Axminster comes in a fair few hundred quid more and without a sliding table.
