Hi Billy, don’t abandon your ideas, Eric is describing difficulties with internal scribing and is not talking about external mitres. Scribing doesn’t work externally (I think you know these basic ‘rules’ anyway). Why not do a simple search on YouTube, you will be surprised how many tips and...

Hmmm....that does make some kind of sense but there’s nothing for it to push to/link to unless the previous owner did remove something. I’ll bear that in mind and have another look tomorrow to see if it looks like something is missing. Thanks for responding.

Hi all, I really like this saw but I have it in bits at the mo to finally sort out the ‘pull’ blade operation once and for all as it’s never been aligned properly (by the way I’ve cracked it). Anyway, decided to take it to bits completely and give it a good overhaul/clean out etc. With regard...

Hi Bob, Ta for reply....., I bought it at bargain price ( I know, i know....) but as I said the basic machine is fine and def an improvement on my previous saw. The seller was keen to make sure I took everything/every part with me although he always pointed out that he had never had all the...

Hi, Just bought an older record power table saw tspp250 and although the basic machine is sound (I think) its in many many many pieces as well as missing some I'm thinking. Anyone able to provide any assistance/info especially in relation to the sliding table? Many thanks, Dave

Hi James, Is the table saw still for sale? Any photos? Ta Dave Q

Morning all, I think I've cracked it! .......probably should write i haven't really done anything but it's working". Thanks again for everyone who gave their thoughts, opinions and suggestions. I slept on a few and then went back to basics. 1. Took off the blade and completely removed both...

Also....is there a way of me changing the subject above from record to metabo?

Hi everyone, Firstly I have to apologise. My machine is not a record bs250 but a metabo bas260......I've spent more time on the damn internet than with the actual machine and so must have mentally switched over as they both look identical on the web!!!.......sorry.....this doesn't change the...

Hi Carl, Thanks for response. I've seen that manual but it's not my machine.....by that I mean that it must be an older model as my bearings are a completely different set and the thrust bearing is in a different plane by 90 degrees. The left and right bearings are (as you may expect) simply 2...

Thanks again to everyone who's giving advice etc. I've just reread my own text and want to clear up a possible misunderstanding......forget any power source (ie even with the plug out) in regard to the 'running backwards'.....if you think of a bicycle wheel that has some random additional...

Hi both, Thanks for early responses. Please don't think I'm putting myself in any danger here as I'm not that kind. I have run it by hand with the doors open but closed when powered up....as stated it ran well (dare I describe it as beautifully) and also very quiet (prior to me setting all...

Hi, I'm a newbie here and to bandsaws. I've bought a supposed new machine and although I have tracked it by hand and all seems ok including running it electrically the blade will not stay on the wheels if it is hand-turned backwards (only a 1/3 of a wheel turn).....you may be thinking why turn...
