Good evening all Saw update Well I went and collected the saw this evening, Ewan the seller had removed the two extension tables for me. I had to remove the top and split in two again in order to get the machine out off his shop, as the pair of shop front doors when opened was only 900Mm wide...

Sorry, I was to continue and hit the wrong key. The machine is 3 phase and I think he'd take the grand if offered. However I am in no great hurry to get a table saw at the moment, it just looked really nice, and I'm sure those splash marks will clean off. The problem that I'm having is with...

Nice saw

Hi everyone I'm looking for some advice here, I'm looking to buy a reciprocating saw. I've been looking at the Bosch 18V-LI £314 @ powertool world. Is there anyone that could give me some feed back on this saw, or other alternatives that may be better or cheaper. I have a 30ft boat to strike...
