Thanks for all of the feedback guys. I think I will go with the duct store as I've respecced the ducting and I can get it within budget now. From what I can see the guage will Def be thick enough, I'll just make sure I've not got all of the blast gates closed at once lol. Im using a felder...

So I've had a look and the steel spiral I linked to is 0.5-1mm which should be thick enough unless someone more knowledgeable can point me to some reading? In terms of the drops, would I better to keep these as 6" I'd possible or would it be easier to drop it to 4"? That's a good comment re...

You can rip that saw apart and build yourself a new one if you want to. I had a crummy Einhall one made from pressed steel and the table wasn't even flat. I took the motor off and used this video as a started to build one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul-7F5plzJw It did its job and worked...

Hi, Im just about to purchase my PVC ducting for the new workshop but wanted to run somthing past you guys before I do. Ideally I would use metal however due to costs I am going to stick with the 6" PVC ducting. Ive been reading Bill Pences website for the last week or so and I dont really...

Have you looked at the TS200-2 or Ts250-2 on the axminster website? I would take this over a site saw any day of the week to be honest. They need a bit of fettling but are great for what they are, don't cost the earth and have a good induction motor on them. Ideal really for what you need. Plus...

Evening Ladies and Gents, We are upgrading our table saw in the workshop. Currently we don't have a huge amount of space however we will be looking to move into a unit in the spring. At the moment we use a HEAVILY modded ts-200 unit with a custom fence, large in-feed and out feed tables. It...

Sorry guys I think I didn't give a very good explanation of what I meant up there I have a 7 x 3 bench with a cut out in the top. The TS200 fits into the cut out and sits on a raised area so the cast iron table top is flush with the surrounding table. Sort of like a mobile bench with side/out...

Hi, Has anyone on here removed the bottom portion of the base from the above saws and then mounted it onto a cabinet/bench? I've got a TS200 which isn't up to scratch for what we need any more so looking to upgrade. Space is at a premium so we have the ts200 sat on a 7 x 3 work bench. I...

Hi David, Just what I needed. Thanks for that. Very much appreciated!!! I will give those a go and let you know how I get on. Josj

Hi, Bit of a Noddy question so bear with me.... I recently bought a camvac which I extremely happy with. I went for the 2.5" outlet as it was a little cheaper and in stock which is quite a feat for a camvac it seems. It took ages to find a supplier in stock but they were great with helping...

Cheers for the reply. Yeh same thoughts here really. It's not needed I guess but it's always there in the back of your head making you think your doing somthing wrong.

Hi, If you are still thinking about it I have before. Bought a Nintendo DS for one of the kids and a DLSR camera. Best 2 buys I have had in a while. They arrived on time and we'll packaged and the items were more than worth the money I paid. I think because they are a proper shop you have a...

2nd what Rhoss said. You need to loosen it all off and start again with the fettling. Pain in the butt however you clearly can't use it like that, once it's done it's done though and you have a nice piece of kit :-D

Afternoon, I have been using this saw for a while (spanking bit of kit) and haven't had a problem with blade tension as I normally set it up by ear? As in the noise the blade makes when you twang it shows if it is tensioned enough lol, but I am sure this is not the correct way to do this. The...

Haha well as cheap as possible. The grow houses will be outdoors and are not going to last forever so if we could keep the cost down that would be great ;-)

Hi, I'm at a bit of a loss, I have been asked to build some bits for a customers garden however I'm stuck trying to find a slotted type lid stay. I feel a bit daft if I'm honest as I didn't think it would be that hard to find but I am struggling!! http://www.nagaroot.com/forum1/files/th ...

Hi Buddy, I found this http://www.routerforums.com/tools-woodw ... pics/48134 And this http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread. ... 4-Bandsaws Not sure if that helps but it might lol. My 2 cents, I would go record over Axminster. Ax are great and the service is spanking but the few big...

Thanks for the thoughts guys. It's very much appreciated. Apologies for not getting back sooner, we have been busy in the workshop! I understand what you mean Norman in regards to the length. In all fairness we mostly cut down plywood boards on the table saw (majority is done on the band saw...

Cheers for the website. I've never seen that one before, I'm going to enjoy looking over what he has built. Very impressed with the table saw! I think I will go with steel, no need for the ally. I might use some extrusion for the fence so I can slide jigs onto it with ease....well that's the...

Hi, My Mrs runs a small furniture making shop and has asked me to build her a Biesemeyer style fence and rails. The majority of plans I seem to find ask for 16 guage steel for the rails and steel plate for the T section of the fence. I was hoping to use ally extrusion for the actual fence so...
