Charnwood W619 Or Axminster Craft AC216TS Table Saw

[Seb]

I'll need to see more reviews, and also see what Axminster do about the problem saws, but my initial idea of getting the Charnwood isn't looking like such a bad idea now...I really don't know what other options there are in this bracket to be honest.

I'm glad I went with the decision to order the new Bandsaw. The smaller versions are getting really good reviews so I have high hopes.

I wouldn't put any more faith in Charnwood than Axminster. They are using similar level Chinese based manufacturing outfits for these budget machines.

Yep.. My thoughts exactly. Even if it arrives level, what are the chances of the tables warping in 6 months' time?

What about Scheppy TS82? Seems to be the same idea as Axi and Charnwood.
