+1 for Bob's toolbox, but phone in advance to check when he is open.

I could have made it with 'zero' clearance but it is just the way it worked out initially - bear in mind that the square section steel has a radius on the corner and so does not form a 90 deg. corner. I intend to fix the fine adjuster fence to it - it will just 'brush' the table and will be on...

Here is the toggle clamp fence that I mentioned previously. Now for the fine adjuster fence!

Take a look at the lamp on page 74 of this post. post-a-photo-of-the-last-thing-you-made-t81798-1095.html

Let us know how you get on. Good luck.

Don't delay. Tuffsaw for blades. Miles Machinery and others for spare parts and Bedford Saw if you ever need a complete blade guide replacement system.

It appears to be good value for money. I have a slightly newer (2001) BAS 316. With a Tuffsaw blade, a tune up and a bit of fettling it should serve you well. Dave

I fitted the Bedford guide system to my 316 and it is a vast improvement on the original guides - for stability and ease of setting. I agree with Alex re tuning your amchine and using Tuffsaw blades. Dave

Yes, will do. Thanks

Excellent, but where is the secret drawer? !!!!!

That's good. As I said in a previous post, I am about to setup my own one so this info. is invaluable to me - thanks.

Hemsby Do you find that you have to re-level the outfeed table each time you replace it after thicknessing? Is it a problem to keep track of where any shims need to go? Thanks

I asked a similar question a short while back. I bought the DVD recommended by Steve Maskery and am working through it. sketchup-for-woodworkers-t92799.html

I bought that model recently and have been doing some simple maintenance. I will soon be looking to set it up, hence my interest in your comment and I wondered if you knew of an adjustment.

Hemsby Is there a way of remedying a significant difference from one end to the other?

I have decided to make a scaled down version of the toggle clamp fence on Stave Maskery's Table Saw DVD. It is made up from steel box section, flat plate & angle, and only requires drilling and tapping to build it. You will need to obtain a suitable toggle clamp and nylon bolts.

ejtrent Would you mind posting what motor you are buying or a link to it on machine mart? Thanks

Thanks Alexfn

I bought a Disston saw from Bob's Toolbox in Liskeard. I cleaned it up, dated it to 1940 -1947 and found a name stamped on the back of the spine. The previous owner was one of several brothers that ran Mashford's boatyard in Cremyll, Portsmouth - the boatyard made vessels for the RAF during WW2...

Thanks to all for your replies. Steve - Thanks for suggesting that - I feel that it is exactly what I need, I have checked out the FWW website and ordered have the DVD - albeit from Amazon Uk, at a total cost of £8.70.
