I have an Axminster AC2606 Bandsaw Table to give away (a long story) together with a couple of blades and a front rail (where the fence attaches (obviously used but free to a good home) collection from Milton Keynes. Its in good shape without any rust etc wrapped up in a cardboard box but...

I have no knowledge of taking or buying equipment abroad, however having purchased a bandsaw from Axminster I can only say I had nothing but constant issues with it. Now I might have been unlucky and simply got a Friday afternoon machine (Does China do Friday afternoons??) I have to say...

To start I would like to state I am a novice when it comes to dust extraction but realise its too important to cock up. I have scoured the forums here and looked at too many websites from sellers and find my self going round in circles. I have read all of Mr Pentz website and throughly scared...

I'm not sure how to answer really, this bandsaw box is very VERY simple, the drawers sit in the box bottom and simply pull out. there is a tiny upturn in the box bottom before the "crack" which stops the drawers falling into each other, but to be honest its as simple as can be once you know the...

yep a vice is next on the list of to do items, but I think I will need to re think part of the bench as I followed a set of internet plans that did not include a vice. Although once I find a vice I may be able to fit it without too much butchery. I am very lucky with the workshop its a...

Okay so this was my first attempt at making a bench, not a proper woodworking bench just something I can work on and progress a few non existant skills. Its not very English except an Englishman made it :) and yes being a complete novice I wimped out on proper joints and went for large bolts...

You menttion new guides are they a "Record" thing or are they generic, I must admit the Axminster ones are a little fiddly with the sliding ceramic blocks and seem to be less adjustable than expected.

Thanks for all the replies and advice. Turns out that the manual appears out of date, even the tech support guy was confused by it :) There doesnt seem to be any way to zero the fence to the measure fixed to the front rail. They thought it would move on the fence slider but its screwed in place...

Yep it has the bolt and its inserted but doesnt seem to make a difference, I have contacted them, I just hoping I was wrong and there was a simple fix. Also knowledge is power and I guess I wanted to know what was what to prevent getting fobbed off, nice to know Axminster may not be an issue

Thanks for the advice I have been loitering here for a while picking up advice and purchased a couple of blades from Tuff Saws in different sizes for the different tasks. Ive watched several of the recommended guides on setting up and I believe its set as you7 describe.

The bandsaw is an Axminster AC2606B The front rail rail is secured under the table by bolts that are in slots at 90 degrees to the table so there is no adjustment or movement in the rail in relation to the left right travel of the fence. The optic for the measure is mounted on a flat panel...

Hi all, To start with let me fess up that I am completely new to owning a bandsaw, having finally managed to find the time and space now I am semi retired so go gentle :) I have recently purchased a new bandsaw (yes I am afaid its one of those cheaper chinese ones, if you can call £650...
