I've been asked to produce acorns, I was thinking of using fence posts and cut to about 300 mm to produce a 225mm acorn (with some artist licence).

I know this post was originally back in 2010, have the oak balls survived since 2010 despite oaks tendency to split. The reason I ask is; I have had a request to turn oak finials for fence posts. about 180 mm diameter and 250-300 mm tall. Is may best option to turn green (wet) wood or to source...

I must admit I am very happy with the Harvey. I am still using the shipped blade with it and is still producing sound cuts.

I use a mix of the Pro-edge and a 6" Grinder (which is Creusen) with CBN on one side, in this instance you do get what you pay for. As said above a balance issue would make your grinder go walkabouts with resulting additional noise. I have also read somewhere recently that some grinders may...

I have used the wheel set from my previous saw which only just covers the weight. I think it was an Axi set. I did buy the Dado cutter but have not got round to,using it just yet. However I have now had several months with the saw and am very pleased with it. There was some adjusting to the saw...

I have left a message on the Router Forum....

What size is the piece of cherry, and what condition is it in? I am in Suffolk and may be able to help.

SBW4300B was the model, they are replacing it tomorrow. Well done Axi

The good news is Axi are replacing the Bandsaw next week

I agree sunny bob... Won't get very far screaming and shouting.

Thanks CHJ, Not sure Axi would appreciate me modifying a brand new machine, I suppose if that were possible they would just send a technician to fix.

Thank you all for the advice I was clearly expecting too much from my new saw (being paranoid). The issue of the backlash in the Blade Guide (plastic wheel) adjuster. The blade guides adjust correctly and once locked in position are unlikely to move, however, the adjusting wheel moves quite...

I have just taken delivery of a new bands saw from Axi, with what I perceive as a few problems. The table is not exactly flat. Across the right edge corner to corner is dead flat Across the left edge corner to corner 0.60mm out of true Diagonally 0.75 mm one way and the other 0.65mm out of true...

Does anyone regularly use one of the Axi spiral cutter PT's? Just wondering if the there was any feedback on them? Regards

I did quite a bit of research in order to find an upgrade saw for my Charnwood W690. As I regularly visit Axminster Tools in Basingstoke I started looking there. I would have dearly loved to have been in a position to buy the Axi Ind TSCE 12R, however, my pockets aren’t quite that deep and is 12...

Does anyone have recent experience of this Bandsaw, I have found a post dating back to 2004 and I assume there would have been a number of improvements since then. I am looking to replace a Record Power BS350. Thanks

I have searched the forum for details on this saw but can only find a link to Woodford Tooling from 2004. Are there any clones available on the UK market and from where? Thanks Mick

I have had an email with the price quoted but no mention of VAT, I was assuming that as there is no mention of VAT anywhere on the website that the prices quoted are inclusive. I also did a trial checkout and there was still no indication of VAT, so short of putting in my card details the prices...

Thanks for the info. If I have got this right the model Woodford Tooling are selling which is a Harvey HW110LGE-30 is the same model as the Xcalibur, Grizzly and Deft (and possibly a few more). Or am I miles away? Regard's Mick

Does anyone know anything about Woodford Tooling? I am thinking of ordering the Grizzly look alike HW110LGE. Has anyone any experience using the HW110LGE saw table?
