Just a thought, but you have got the Dure-edge blade in the right way round (teeth pointing downwards)?

See http://users.pandora.be/worldstandards/ ... .htm#plugs for an explanation of various European and other plugs worldwide. In France under the latest regulations both live and neutral are connected to the circuit breaker (MCB) whereas in the UK they are only in the live line. Three-pin plugs...

Devonwoody I'm surprised you didn't try the pull-through on the Record TSPP250 during those 12 hours of messing around! The mitre fence already has independent lockdowns to stop movement of both the mitre in the slot and the wood being cut. With that, repeatability shouldn't be a problem...

My blade is locked when the red plastic lever catch on the pull-through arm is at 3 o'clock. I need to turn it from that position to allow me to use the draw mechanism. Then, once the lock is disengaged by a slight pull on the pull-through, I can set the catch back to the locking position. If I...

Jalbum only requires php and mySQL for some of the appearance skins and their options, e.g. BluPluPlus with viewer comments. For many appearance skins and options it generates standard html files Jalbum requires Java to build but not to view albums which means it can be used on Macs and Linux...

I would have thought drilling the holes was the commitment! If they are slightly out what do you do? I can't see how the use of the pins makes anything unalterable. I've had my saw apart and the table off (to fit a replacement part) and didn't have any problem knocking out the pins and putting...

I've just checked and the blade in my TSPP250 will raise to 83mm above the table so if the blade and motor are willing an 80mm cut should be possible.

Did you fix the top onto the main saw chassis? My top is attached by four screws through the lip of the pressed steel saw chassis into the underside to the cast iron table. In addition there are two pins through the cast iron table into the saw chassis. I don't see how the top could move with...

Just in case anyone is still looking for one, these units are made by Kemo part number M103 http://www.kemo-electronic.com/en/module/m103/ Googling shows there are several mainland European suppliers but no obvious UK source using those details.

You should also be aware the guide which fits on the sliding table is 130cm in length from the blade when at 90 degrees to the blade and when closed and 225cm if fully extended - so you need to allow at least another 40 cm clearance to the left of the sliding carriage. See the last picture of...

From the RH side (with the two extension tables attached on that side) to the blade is 100cm. From the blade to the LHS of the sliding table is 90cm. The rails for the fence guide extend about another 22cm from the RHS of the table extensions with the sliding carriage fitted so the overall width...

Not sure I'm really the right person to reply. I'm left-handed so I probably use the sliding carriage for more general cross-cutting than I would if I was right-handed. Not helped by the position of the saw in the workshop which means there is more space on the side of the blade for longer...

I've had a TSPP250 for about 9 months and have been very satisfied with it and the service from Record. The only problem I've had was with the blade rise-and-fall. Mine used a plastic spiral thread component which eventually failed after about 6 months. Record replaced it very speedily with a...

According to the user manual for the Record BS350 at Record Power web site www.recordpower.co.uk the ratings for the Record BS350 are 1100W(P1) and 1450W (P2). And according to the Jet Tools web site www.jettools.co.uk the JWBS-14 motor rating is P2 0.75hp/s1 100%. Perhaps someone who...

I don't like screwdriver-type mains testers - too dangerous. I much prefer my Fluke VoltAlert which doesn't require any metal contact and can also detect live wires in cable runs, etc. You just need to hold it near a live wire and the tip glows red. Always check any tester on a known live...

I've not had any problem with the fence on my Record TSPP250. It is like any set square and just needs slight forward pressure on it while locking to make sure both sides of the front are touching the front rail - that comes naturally. The slight slack which could allow non-square locking is...

It looks as though UK regulations require pedestrian guard railing where there is any drop of more than 600mm. And it seems for external balconies the barrier should be 1100mm high for domestic premises. Presumably that covers decking if it is adjacent to a dwelling? Any other interpretations...

For stairs and landings the regulations are handrail heights should be a minimum of 900mm and it must not be possible for a 100mm sphere (equivalent of a child's head) to pass through any openings between the spindles and other uprights - so 99mm spacing maximum. They should not be easily...
