I have a spindle moulder with power feed and a few routers, they all have there place depending what you are doing. Small work I go for router, anything over 10m I use spindle.
I use AW Tools, Sheffield, they still make the saw blades in Sheffield. I you phone them they will tell you exactly which saw you need. You will surprised how cheap they are too
As they say "It pays to shop around". I am a woodworker I buy my timber from timber suppliers that only sell timber! You get a much better price and the quality you order.
I'm trade; I've found that Bradfords is always the most expensive when I get a quote from them even with my discount applied. There is another local timber merchant near me (Totem) who's retail prices are normally about 60% cheaper before their trade duscount applied
If it helps contact Weymouth college carpentry department they have 2 minimax fs30 and 1 Sedgwick they want to get rid of. As for Chris head of construction
