I had a chap round my place recently who imports Unisaws-he gave the Woodford the thumbs up for being the real deal!!!
Dave
Look forward to hearing your experiences.

The original question was how do Scheppach manage to fit a grooving blade on their machines legally?

I believe its well worth doing a search of previous forum postings. This has been discussed in depth before... the gist of it seems that arbours are allowed to be longer than the a single skinny blade thickness, and it's the 10 second stop time that stops manufacturers using heavier blades (i.e. Dado heads). I think the Scheppach isn't actually a "dado" blade, just seems to have wide tips so provides a trenching ability with a spacing facility. Perhaps contact NMA direct and ask? (they are UK inporters)

This posting may help to clarify it for you:

Urm, yes? At least until I can get round to sharpening up the #46's cutters. Not always of course, but it's a lot more fun than the accursed tailed router and I've got to justify them all somehow...

I'm with you ALF ......he says with combination plane under one arm, Router Plane in hand, several routers on the shelf and a foot in each camp.

Incidently, my Xcaliber stops easily within 10 secs but DOESNT have a brake. We've timed it and it stops within 5 secs, a tad longer with the dado in.

You know they're easier to use if your hands are free and unencumbered... I won't go into the likely strain injuries of having a foot in both camps. :lol:
