    I had an MTL100, it was awful & so noisy, its started with a very unnerving loud bang each time, i had nothing but trouble with it, everything is flimsy on them & it could not handle cutting 2" oak, one day it decided to spontaneously combust after very little use & was under no load at the...

    anyone fitted Axminsters hobby sliding table to a trade AW10

    yeah just come to the same conclusion after trawling through many many pics.... i was thinking of using the rear extension mount arms for the table add on. had not though about adding a 2nd bench... my veneer storage rack will be going down that side of the saw so i could just incorporate it...
