Karl...I'm coming round to that conclusion as well, but I've just PM'd Jetman for clarification - RobKarl":1mv6vcqp said:

Yep, I agree with Karl (the SIP saw everybody loves is 2,200w and should ideally be run off 16amps). You might be able to start it on 13amps but, you would have to switch the saw on first before anything else and it will probably blow or trip the fuse several times.

9fingers and I have been nattering...seems that 2.6Kw is at the very limit of what might be suitable to run off a 13A ring main (depending on conditions etc) so a 16A dedicated line is probably desirable. However, that's something I don't have but Bob has explained a cunning and devious way to get safely round the problem which is fairly easy for me to sort out...we're going to discuss further at YOKB - Rob

I had a very similar Jet saw in the States in my garage. Excellent bit of kit for its size. I would buy it if you have size limitations

I wonder if there are now other solutions than a table saw.
The TS is for straight guided cuts so why not use a Festool TS55 or TS75 for more depth of cut. Finish quality should be the same as the Kity. Accuracy should be the same and a sliding saw instead of table.
The other advantage for a small shop are that when not in use you'd hang the rails on the walls or from the r roof and you could build a bigger bench or an assembly table and not have to strengthen the floor.
Festool stuff is high quality an is a system which can be used to modernise workshop practice.
I'm currently wrestling with whether to sell my table saw since I bought the TS55 and also acquired a TS75. I don't use the TS anywhere near as much these days and turning the space into an assembly space would be a step forward for me.

I went ahead and bought a used one. Got it about 35 miles away.
Doesn't look at all bad. Looks like they have been cutting aluminium or something on it.
The blade is almost as sharp as my thumb.
So suggestions for a cost effective blade are sought.
I didn't really need a sliding table, but who knows, I may be glad of it some day

I'd have a look at Wealden for good value decent saw blades.

Guys
2600watts divid by voltage gives amps 2600/240=10.8333333amps therefore any 13amp ring main should be OK if it has nothing else running on it at the time that will take the amp draw over the RCD rating, you are using an RCD's on your workshop supplies aren't you.

Mike you are right, plus the main fact is it is only spinning a relatively lightweight blade - 16amp is normal for the same motor size when the start up has to turn a heavy cast bandsaw wheel or cutterblock - it's that initial load that counts.

The spike load from an induction motor is much less that a brush motor as most have a soft start anyway, running 110volt machines off a transformer gives a much bigger spike that will trip out a normal S type RCD, this can be eliminated with a D type RCD which has a much larger tolerance to spike loads, I would also suggest this would help on any heavy loaded machines as long as the motor wattage is below the 3500 level and has nothing else demanding supply on the same RCD, having a dedicated mains consumer unit for the workshop and splitting the loads around the workshop to different RCD's controlled power take offs can almost eliminate any of these problems.

Got a new blade fitted, have it installed where I want it in "the shop".
I spent a little time setting up the fence, it was about 50 thou out, which was quite noticeable, even for my rough work.
Now I just need a connector to join jets coupling to my four inch flexible pipe.
I phoned a couple of vendors, who couldn't help, so falling back on the knowledge of the forum.

I'm sure something on here will help: http://www.axminster.co.uk/accessories/ ... xtraction/ If not a day trip to France (keep the OH happy) will sort it, all French soil drainage is 100mm
