In case anyone is interested, I am selling my Axminster AT254TS table saw and all accessories on Ebay.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I'll consider my options a little more carefully.

Yes, you're right, my question regarding hardwood rip cuts was a little vague. What I should have asked is, has anyone experienced difficulties or limits in ripping, say, 2" thick hardwood with the TKS 80? I already own an Axminster AP254TS table saw but I need portability: we are in the process...

Sorry about the vague question on hardwood, I wondered if there is a limit to its rip cutting capacity. I already own an Axminster APT254TS table saw but I'm building a house on site and need the portability. Not really bothered about the saw stop facility.

I'm thinking of buying the Festool TKS 80 table saw, does anyone know if it's powerful enough to rip lengths of hard wood?

It looks beautiful; well done

I remember my dad using them, so when I got the opportunity, I acquired three of them that I still use occasionally. It's usually on a project that I need to be careful with. I feel I have a little more control with a Yankee. Regards Paul

Thanks Artie.

Does anyone know of a uk company that makes an electric branding iron?

Thank you.

Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone, I make a considerable number of small items of furniture and have been experimenting with some exotic woods lately. However, I occasionally encounter bark inclusions and voids. So, I'm thinking of using black coloured epoxy resin, particularly for the darker woods. This is new to me...

Thank you all for your help and advice, I will let you know the final outcome.

I am using Titebond III, which is food safe and waterproof. As for the mahogany, the advice came a little late, so fingers crossed, we'll see. As for flattening I have a drum sander and Mirka Deros.

I thought I'd attempt making an end grain chopping board. I have quite a bit of mahogany and plenty of maple and so liked the idea of a brick pattern. I'm not sure if mahogany is a good wood for chopping boards; any advice welcome. Also, would there be a problem with the mahogany dust bleeding...

Yes, you're right, however, I'm disabled and only have the use of my right hand, so being able to adjust the height from above the table would really help me. Also, these legs of mine are in their 66th year!

Hi guys, I recently bought the Axminster AT254TS table saw work station; the right hand side of the cast iron table is machined to accept a router insert plate or lift. I already have a Trend T11 router which I'm happy with, however, does anyone know of a router lift that will accept the T11?

Thank you Brian

I just sold my 10" SIP table saw and bought the Axminster AT254. Now I'm considering buying the iTech 400mm drum sander; just wondered if anyone has any comments.

Can anyone vouch for the quality of their woodwork machinery?
