I bought from the Axminster 'Workshop ' range (for serious home hobby use) and I am very pleased, having had experience of several professional machines. Re-sawed 4" x 3/4" softwood ) straight out of the box, and the two 'Axcaliber ' ground blades and mitre fence extras are very impressive.
Setup instructions more than adequate .

You will also need a dust extraction system if you value your lungs….plenty of old threads on that..a whole new discussion!

I have the 14/12 and happy with it. It's plenty of power. I've done a little bit of resawing. Cutting through large green logs etc and it's handled It well. It has a few minor niggles, and if I were to buy another I'd go for the BX.
Also I recommend getting a variety of blades for your needs from tuffsaws. Having the right blade for the job helps significantly.

Yes it is or could be , I think it is the Basato 5-2 single phase 240 volt , It runs from a std 13 amp supply, I have installed a new set of guides all 6 at the cost of £170.00 ( Not set up yet ) as I decided to sell , The table needs to be removed when transporting, The table is cast iron and is very heavy, to heavy for me to lift now in my old age
" IF " you are serious regarding buying let me know and I will list it on here.
