+1 for all that. I have a fairly expensive Axminster bandsaw that was a huge disappointment until I got my Tusssaw blades.. completely transformed the bandsaw and I never looked back. Geoff
Well as it works, why change it.Benchwayze":2hws8342 said:Thanks Carl.
Yes that was where I saw the upgrade, and my saw could be fitted with these guides. But as I said, my 351 is 20 years old; maybe more, so I don't think it's worth the risk. With my luck, the moment I upgraded the guides, the saw would die a devilish death. [-o<
So, for now the Cool-Blox' are adequate.

The refund would be less carriage charges and restocking fee, I can't believe I will be out of pocket because of this when its not my fault.
I have just looked at the fence again tonight and there is just no way on earth this thing will ever sit straight, so I guess I have a 2 hour, 80 mile return journey tomorrow to take this back, theres no way I would agree to the labour charge if damaged in transit so I have no choice but to take it back myself at my own cost.
Not a good start to woodworking

I didn't want to do that its a last resort for me, got enough stress on without it so lets hope they do the right thing and refund me so I can buy a working band saw, that will be my 3rd post on here lol which one can I get that has a straight fence
Thanks for the tip there John, its v.good to know that there are other options to get this to work, but the way I feel about it now is I want to just get a refund and get a quality unit now.
Yeah no point being out of pocket through bad customer care. Plus now if you are not going to leicester in the morning. This place might be a better day trip out.jigsaw":3i6fl6uv said:I guess thats a smart thing to do Carl, fancy just taking over this returns process for me and in return I will make you a nice little oak box ? lol.
But seriously yeah I think it would be wise to cover myself, its a shame one has to think like that but from what I gather so far both the seller and Charnwood have been decent to this stage, but I guess it would be wise to protect my purchase just in case
Same here now, i will never recommend any of their products either againBenchwayze":1twlndpm said:Well that's Charnwood off my list of potential suppliers.
