You can add another Scheppach 2500 (CI) to the list. Haven't used it extensively as yet, but very pleased so far.

Bean - absolutely - I've always been nothing but impressed with the service given by Dabs - they keep you informed and the service is usually very quick. The only thing i could fault them on sometimes is price, but that could be said for almost any retailer. Don't get me wrong - I've also had...

Nice one Simon :D Perhaps they've read your posts on UKW. If only they'd change their policy. I'd happily shop with them (great site, product range etc.) if only they'd: 1. Not charge your card before despatch 2. Be abit more honest about stock availability (or perhaps just "be abit more...

I'm using an HTC2000 on my Scheppach 2500 (130kilos roughly) and have no problems whatsoever. Very pleased with the base. Admitedly I don't move the saw around that often or that far, but never noticed any problem with flexing. Which base did you buy John? - I think there are two in the HTC...

I bought the 3M Airlite about a year ago, which is a full-face respirator that blows air down over your face from above. This gives not only filtration but also impact protection for your full face. I bought it because I'd just started turning. Although a little on the large side, it's...

Bean - I see a wonderful opportunity arising.... :twisted: Just tape over said video's with some shows from His Normness, and say you left them in the VCR by mistake....

You have this great habit of cheering me up Adam :D. Actually, the fine filter is also a little higher/taller than the standard filter, which no doubt helps...

OK thanks Adam - I'll give it a try. Actually when I first set it all up (with the 2" hose attached) and ran some peices through, I did notice a fair amount of sawdust on the table itself after the cut (although dust was being extracted through the main 4" port). Hopefully running 4" hose to...

I can see where you went wrong Bean - now had you brought in a nice railway sleeper or something he'd have no doubt got the message, and brought back a coffee table... :shock:

Actually it is a 2" hose, which connects to the 4" extraction port at the bottom of the saw - it all came as part of the dust extraction kit with the TS. Kind of surprising given that Scheppach recommend the HA2600 as suitable for the TS2500 (and supply the crown guard DE kit with 2" hose as...

I also have the HA2600 - I've no real experience with DE kit so cannot tell whether it's a particularly good buy or not. But the things I like about it are... * Scheppach don't supply a power lead, leaving you to make one up using the supplied plug-in-thingy that goes into the extractor. You...

I tend to chuck mine in the recylcing bin. Actually, there's an interesting article on Dust Extraction in the Woodworker this month (sorry Pete, Andy :oops: ), which states that some wood shavings will give off arsnic when burnt (mostly hardwoods I think). Worth checking what you're burning...

Tom, I agree - the whole range of various air compressor fittings is a minefield - I've fallen foul of this in the past. However, you will probably find that most air tools (nail guns, blowers etc. etc.) come with a female screw thread fitting - into which you screw in whichever fitting is...

Rattie, I spoke to my brother about this and he reckons that the initial surges on these machines will over time cause a fuse to weaken, so he wasn't surprised to hear that they blow occasionally. He also said that fuses are designed to cope with short surges above their rating - since the...

Thanks guys. I hope I'll be OK - doubt I'd want to run anything as powerful as the TS at the same time - more likely the TS + extractor together, which should draw 11 + 2.5 amps respectively (13.5A total). Hopefully that'll not give me problems - but I'll ask my brother to take a look...

Rattie, Yep - I've been slightly worried about that, despite the adverts stating 13A supply required. My brother used to be a sparkie, and he's down to visit us this weekend so I think I'll pick his brains on that one. Last thing I want is to re-wire the entire workshop - but presumably it's...

Thanks all for your kind words - still setting the beast up - but I did manage to get the wiring complete last night (n.b. it comes with a special plug that slots into the NVR switch, but you have to wire up your own lead from that to a domestic plug). Switched it on and it's amazingly quiet...

Thanks TX - I also started with nought, and after 10yrs or so am still collecting the bits for my dream workshop (I should have bought quality from the start, but there you go...) anobium - will post some piccies and more details once I've finished assembling (didn't manage it last night)...

...Well it arrived, and it's bl**dy big and bl**dy heavy! The truck driver and I struggled to get it into the workshop (in fact the main unit had to be taken out of its packaging because it wouldn't go through the front door otherwise (only means of access to workshop). Even then it was tight...

Thanks Mike - I'm sure I will :D. You too.
