Axminster AW10BSB2 tablesaw - ORDERED!

[Mike.C]

It is considerably better than the SIP and it has been reviewed on here by myself and others (use the search for more info)

I'm sorry, but how can you back up this claim? Have you used both machines, extensively? Are all the owners of the SIP who highly regard it, talking hogwash?

Another bull$hit sweeping statement, I think!

Thank you Wizer, my exact thoughts and I have used a friends Axminster on a number of occasions. I have also done a review https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/long ... hlight=sip table review

I would agree that the Axminster is more visibly pleasing and getting the sliding table for £800 is a better deal, but there is no way on this earth that it is considerably better. Put it this way if all the differences of the two machines were covered up and I used both of them for exactly the same job I would not be able to tell the difference.

Cheers

Well lets not worry about that, even if its identical to the SIP its still a good saw and will fit my needs. If its better than the SIP then great - either way its not worth arguing about.

I wondered so went back to find Tonys thread, he said that the mitre gauge was sloppy in the track, and thats true where as the axy one wasn't and that the base cabinet wasn't well put together, but that could be down to the person who put it together as it comes flat packed. So only small differences really is what I think Tony meant.

Mike, any chance of updating your review with the pictures, I don't get any.

Ed, well done on the new saw! Why such a long delivery time none in stock? I'll be really intrested to see what you have to say about setting up and using the sliding table.

It might be quicker, they are in stock. I was mainly going on how long it took when I ordered my bandsaw, but then that was during the last 10% deal so they were maybe busy.

I'll report on the sliding table as soon as I can, although it appears slightly different (maybe only cosmetically) than the one you have. The brackets on mine appear to hang off the saw carcase rather than the table as yours do.

The adjustment for height and parallel weren't great on the SIP, did the job but a bit fiddly.

On mine the cast brackets weren't machined properly, I sent them back to be machined but some Muppet just took a ******* file to the wrong bit. It took nearly two weeks for them to do that and I ended up machining them myself.

However the main table saw is well built, accurate and has good repeatability without having to re-check the settings every time I use it.

Any saw in this price range needs a bit of tuning/fettling but the sliding table is a bit of a disappointment.
