As always, I’m open to offers

I too would be thinking of something larger, if my intention were to use it for construction. And I’d agree that you’ll find the limits of a small, budget saw, pretty quickly.

Hi Rob, I assume the Leigh adapter will take the UKJ threaded bushes that you list? Cheers

You might be comparing apples and oranges there. You’ll get a 7” vice for just over £60, from Axminster (they’re currently on sale), but I doubt it’s of the same quality as an old Record that you’ll pick up for £30

Yes, my vices are all quick release

I just found that… he wants £125. Axminster are knocking them out for £100… think I’ll go there
