Agree that the Draper is a better price, but worth pointing out that Axy are on the MK2 of this model now which is different, in that the table is now bigger and the fence is significantly beefier than those on the Draper and other clones.Cthsocial":33hk62c7 said:Unfortunately for me that auction ended on 23 August. I still think its good at 320, thats the whole kit for less than the Ax TS200 which is the same basic saw - ad the stand, extension and slide and its more than 500 quid.

I was lucky enough to bag one of these from Barnes for £200 as well. It's my first table saw so I don't have anything to compare it with, but like many of you before have said, any specific concerns just melted away for that money.
My only issues for now are getting the thing more mobile as it's going to be shifting around a fair bit in my single garage workshop and most importantly, the mitre slots.
I'm having real problems finding a set of horizontal featherboards that will fit the dimensions. I stupidly ordered a bench dog feather-loc thinking these things were universal, not the case is it?
Could anyone recommend some that would fit please?
The extra 10mm is only getting you barely 5mm extra depth of cut and to be honest, with the power of these, you are better sticker to smaller blades anyway to keep the rotating mass down.thanos999":2a5fo6xy said:hi guys just joined this forum cause i just bought the draper cast iron tablsaw for £215 that was basic saw and stand no extension tables or sliding carriage so i was looking up for as much info that i could gleam from the interweb wish i new this saw could take 210mm blades befor i spent more cash just bought another 3 200mm blades for it even thought i hade a couple off 210mm blades around the place just hade a coulple off cuts so far in some scrap wood and it seems to do a good cut

Very true, but 210mm blades are much easier to find.
