Hi, Thank you for your replies. the table saw crown guard has about 30mm hose which connects directly down to the 4" port on the back of the saw which is supposed then take care of the dust from under and around the blade. these just seem useless withe the Camvac fitted running both motors...

Hi, I know this has been discussed so many times on many forums but I I find a lot of the recommendations are very conflicting. Anyway, I have a Camvac CGV286-3 (Twin motor 2kW) which from what I understand is a HPLV system? In general it works very well with my tools, including a thicknesser...

Hi, Loads of info and interesting comments. Very helpful Thanks. I am in this for the long term so don't mind spending much more on the right blade. The Swedex blades, Sheffield saws, and CMT all seem pretty high-end solution amongst others. I have never had a blade re-sharpened, so that's...

Thanks for all your replies. The blade that came with the saw was an Axminster blade, I think it was a 24-tooth blade. This has been the only blade I have used so far, with the intention of buying decent blades as and when I need them. But just in the last few weeks cutting MDF has gone from...

Hi bp122, Thanks for your reply. I did think about Freud, as they are a good price and like you say, everyone seems to sell them# Is there a particular model you would recommend? No of teeth and type of tooth etc? Seems like around 60 TPI has been suggested but maybe even up to 80?? I thought...

Hello, I have the need to cut up a fairly large amount of MDF sheets (3mm to 18mm). My table saw came with an Axminister blade fitted, which has now seen better days. It certainly seems to have become blunt since cutting MDF. Can anyone recommend a good quality but not silly money blade for...

Hi, Thank you for your replies. That Berger site is a good find, they have many widgets that would be really hand to find. I will have a better look later but couldn't see anything obvious that may fit the tracks I have. With regard to the tracks you sell Peter, they would have been a better...

Hi, thanks for your reply. I fitted the T tracks to my cnc bed and for normal work the UJK clamps are fine. However, what I need to clamp down for certain jobs does not allow for either a clamp above the work or has a larger enough recess hole to drop and tighten a nut into to allow me to use...

Hi Mike, Yeah, that's my thinking now. I have use of good metal workshop at work so it would not be hard to make exactly what I need. Just didn't want the hassle and thought these would be off the shelf sort of think. I only need 16 so not a massive job. Its just added aggravation that I could...

Axminster sell the T bolts and other fixings(Clamps etc) that fit the UJK T track, which I use for many other projects / jigs etc and have a large selection of the UJK tracks and fixings. But the T bolts are not suitable for my application. I wrongly assumed that I could easily buy T nuts that...

Thing is, all other sizes of similar T track have readily available T nuts in various versions Not suitable for my application. Needs to be T nuts that slide into the track.

Hi, Sorry to go off on a slight tangent but still related to T tracks. (I know this is an old thread but....) Whatever T track you purchase make sure you can easily but the various fittings you require to go with it. Reluctantly (due to the price) I purchased 7x 600mm lengths of UJK T track...

Excellent, thank you.

Hi, That's very disappointing about the Laguna. I have been there once or twice before which is way I just want to be sure. Sorry to be a pain, but one last question. I assume the top casing / housing is metal (Cast?) and the top belt housing cover is metal. Am I right in saying that its only...

Hello everyone, once again thanks for your replies. Its really does help when you get first hand reviews. Personally for me could stretch to the Viking, but the real issue I have is buying blind and just going on reviews. I am sure both are excellent machines and would be far better than I...

Hi, Thank you for your replies. Westy619, I take it that the one you have is exactly the same but floor standing? Problem is, its hard to find one somewhere in stock and on display to look at. It is a lot of money for a bench drill but I have purchased a few over the years and found that the...

Anyone have any thoughts on this? I was hoping someone on here having one of these drills. Thanks

Hi, Yes, I do like the Bosch drill and have this on my list of goodies to buy at some point in the future but initially I am looking for a larger more conventional bench model. I actually like some of the features of the Bosch and it would be a nice have the electronic speed control and direct...

Hi, I am looking at buying a bench pillar drill mainly for woodworking use. I was thinking about one of the Axminster trade drills but I have now seen the Jet JDP-15B-M which looks pretty good but is expensive. Basically is it worth the cost? Does anyone on here have this drill or used it or...

Hi, Roy, Thanks for your reply. That's a good point about the Morse taper drill bits, forgot about that. May come in handy in the future maybe. Yes, other more traditional makes of course produce better tools but its mainly because I have the vouchers and need a drill :) Normally I would look...
