Can I ask what saw it is? I'm not wanting it, i'm just a curious bugger. jonathan.

It was only a matter of time before Festool added their own twist to the already available range of vacum tables. An exellent tool, but the price will yet again be astronomical. jonathan.

The only time i've had an induction motor on a machine get any way near as hot as you describe is when I had a 60Hz motor on my Unisaw. As soon as I fitted it with a new 50Hz one, it never gets past luke warm, even if I run it on/off all day. It certainly doesn't sound right and after checking...

I use a minimax SC3 at work and while you would say the machine runs smoothly, if you look really close, there is a noticable vibration. Not enough to cause any problems while cutting though. I'm almost certain it's down to the weld in the blade, not that there's a problem with it, just that as...

Hello Doug, i'm not familiar with the scheppach motors but there is two types of possible brake designs, one is mechanically activated as the RPM's slow down and the other is an electronically activated brake which can be part of the starter switch, (these are usually on industrial three phase...

Thanks to both Jason and Dave, these are just what i'm looking for. I knew that someone would have them somewhere! jonathan.

I have a Unisaw with a 50hz braked motor fitted and regularly use the dado. For the blade to cause the nut to unwind, the brake would have to virtually stop it dead in one second and even then I find it hard to believe it would have the force to both spin round whilst sliding off a two ind lond...

I have the full iron top table model from Woodford and it's twice the machine for half the money! What more can I say. jonathan.

Hello, Can anyone point me to a supplier of a matched set of profile scribe router cutters that will do stock thickness of around 40mm instead of the common 18-22mm sets? cheers, jonathan.

It would be a real interesting dinner party if someone knocked the start mechanism while it's full of drinks!! jonathan.

My deepest condolence and best wishes to all family and friends. jonathan.

I think if the work piece was clamped down before each cut, it would make the process a lot safer. The dangerous part is when you rotate the piece against the blade, if you let go for a fraction of a second, the piece could easily be thrown towards you. A good demonstration though. jonathan.

I'm pretty certain it's the same machine as the Machine mart Clark sander, and they sell the replacement sleeves in a pack of three I think. jon.

It seems I may have had a little luck for a change. I sent the armature off to Bob who kindly tested it for me and fingers crossed, he seems to think it's OK and a new set of brushes and armature bearing could be all it needs. Good to have helpful members involved in the forum. jonathan.

Can't wack the Wadkin AGS, has to be the best cabinet saw to be sold over the last 50 years.

A heavy build up of carbon dust is certainly on the menu! It's caked in it around the problem area, well it was before I wiped most of it away. At work, we have several Dewalt saws and one in particular is used about every 5 mins throughout the whole day and has been doing so now for the best...

The plastic boxes that hold the brushes aren't melted anywhere but on the yellow plastic of the motor casing near the brushes, there has been a sign of some melting and blackening. When I press the start trigger only for a couple of seconds, there is noticable heat build up in the brushes and...

It's funny you should say this because it's been niggling at the back of my mind obout the brushes. The brush holders have been scorched by the exessive sparking and the brushes themselves are certainly softer than any i've seen before. I checked to see if they slid freely in their holders and...

Hello, Roy took me through the steps of testing the armature for what it was worth. He suspected that the meter I have was unable to read sensitively enough for the process so we diddn't really find anything out. As I have told Roy though, the only real option I have is to take it to my nearest...

Sorry, i'm going through it via PM. jon.
