Axminster TS200 unit

[ByronBlack]

Hey chaps, there was one last measurement I was hoping someone could help me with; what is the height of the actual base unit without the floor stand? Cheers.

Thanks Phil, you're a star.

I took delivery of my TS-200 today after using the 10% axminster discount, setting up was quite straight-forward, took about two hours, I still have some final squaring and checking to do, but otherwise it's functional.

This is the first part of the new layout. I'm removing the old out-feed table the SCMS is sitting on completely, and will move all the rubbish that is under-neath and the SCMS to a new full-width unit at the back end of the shop, this will have a shelf unit and a worktop running full-width and will house all the power-tool boxes and various rubbish that accumulates over the years.

The drill press will then move to the left-hand side of the shop along with a new rolling unit housing the thicknesser that I received today also (A perform CC10 which came with a discount, result!)

There's a bandsaw which sits just inside the front doors, and that wheels out if I need to do longer stock.

A router-table will be fitted in place of the crappy sheet-metal extension table on the TS-200 (will probably just use laminated MDF and tilgear plate).

All in all, I feel confident that this should be a decent and long-term setup.

Piccies:

The piece of ply under the TS-200 is used to raise it to the same level of my workbench so I can use it as an out-feed.

Thanks again to everyone who answered my questions about this saw, and for letting me hijack the thread a little. I'll post more pics when the saw is integrated into a rolling cabinet with router-table.

That's a nice setup Byron.

That does look good, Byron. It will be interesting to see whether it's still as spacious twelve-months from now though! :wink: Don't forget to clear your workbench before using the saw - otherwise, your timber and sheet materials will do it for you!!

I assume you're trying to get by with nothing but the bare necessities - ie. no bobbin sander or spindle moulder? I like how you can access your bench from both sides.

It should be more spacious in a few weeks when I clear out some un-needed fixtures (gardening stuff, old out-feed table etc..) Good point about leaving stuff on the workbench, I usually put tool away as soon as I've finished with them out of habit, so hopefully, I won't knock anything off!

Moving that bench there was inspired by the space around it - I've so far always had it against a wall, and it's always frustrated me when working with a larger piece than the top, so this should be more flexible.

I have some bobbin-sanders that fit the drill-press, so I've not needed a dedicated machine, although if I could find the right space and the cash, it would a 'nice-to-have'.

I'll be having a router-table, so again, no real need for a spindle-moulder, thats too industrial for the kind of work I do, also it would frighten the **** out of me using it

Congratulations Byron, happy sawing. :lol:
