do it your way or not at all mate, these situations can turn bad quickly & you will cursing yourself for agreeing their terms instead of setting yours.

I'm close to joining the "old wood working machine fan club" :wink: picked up an item from another forumite earlier (thanks David the bandsaw wheel kit is going to be a godsend, great workshop you have too), few days earlier i happened to notice this little machine on ebay & that it would be...

ohhh thats seriously cute & handy bit of kit, makes me wonder about rigging something up like it for my shells. and you have a CNC :O .... nice.

i dont have a granite block as i would need quite a large one, but old pool table slates are pretty flat so i acquired one of them... does the job.

i inherited an old henry with my workshop 12 years ago, unlike the guys above i dont use bags, we did at first but henrys fill up quick & the bags would often burst or tear, we did get a bag that could be opened & reused but quickly abandoned that, 12 years on and its still in use everyday...

update Wadkin SP12 panel saw at work - soon to be leaving me as its just too big & my phase 3 power is being made redundant soon, will be replaced with a not so big or industrial SIP/Axminster/Itech 10" saw Bosch GTS10 XC in my home workshop, replaced my makita MTL100 in 2013 - brilliant...

as the guys have said above, think about what you need to do & buy the biggest capacity you can. i recently posted a thread about buying a band saw with a £700 budget with the BS350 my top choice, i got a lot of "buy used industrial machines" and a bit of "you cant get a good bandsaw for £700"...

that's going straight to printout & getting stuck on the wall... Thanks Marcros

i have this problem often with companies, not Axminster as i have never delt with their export but several of my over seas suppliers, by the sounds of it the emails are going through to someone who is not dealing with things but you got good results on the phone, you should not have to but i...

Thanks, they are very rough right now, lots of cutter lines but that will be sanded out im sure i can rustle something up. i have one during pic from my instagram feed.

I make my own plywood using a vac press, I use cold press for the decorative stuff that I want to limit bleed through, never had an issue, never read the instructions, I just use it like I do the cross linked pva's and epoxy. No problems to date.

rough turned 3 oak stave shells i glued up during the week. bit out of practice with staves been a whole year since i made my last.

cheer man, i will have a look for the hammer, i appreciate & do want opinions based on experience but i only need to be told the same thing so many times. i have bought new & used machines before so don't really need the plus points & negatives outlaying quite so much as it was... though i was...

Good grief!!!! Starting to wish I had never started this thread, it would have been deleted if only I could. I asked for suggestions on options for bandsaws for a £700 budget, so far have had suggestion. But I didn't expect to be preached at the old wood working machine fan club. I don't...

good for you, i love the idea of anyone repurposing & re generating old equipment & bringing it back to life to continue to be used.... but i have not asked anyone to recommend me a old machine to do up... i don't have time, fiddling & fixing up old machines is not what i want.... i have spent...

will keep my eye out for a 352 though as i said nothing ever seems to pop up near to me, i don't have transport big enough to collect something like this & all the ones listed on ebay are over budget. in general I'm not fan of buying used, i prefer manufacturer support & a warranty, just read...

just found it on ebay, thats £800 to my door, dont have a penny over £700

thanks.... do they deliver? and do you have a link so i can see it?

Guys, some advice please. one thing i have never had is a good bandsaw, many times i come to projects and problems where i cant help but think a band saw would make life easier, my axminster BS250 i have in my home is not up to much so im thinking of making room at my workshop for something...

yes there deffo need to be more timber trading going on.
