my plan is to fix the saw on a stand at the end of the hand tools bench with its table at the same height (and without its extension tables or slider) with the blade orientation being along the bench - fence away from the front - at the otherside (behind the blade) will be the router table.

so that in use the bench will become the infeed and the router table with its cutter dropped and fence pushed back will become the outfeed (like wise the saw will be an infeed for the router)

This sounds fascinating. I'd love to come and see the setup. To that end a small cast iron table saw may well be your best bet as the core. I don't know the Jet well, but it could easily be ideal. Email me and perhaps we could set up a meeting.

Cheers

when ive got the saw and set it up i will do nick - cheers

Pete, if I were you, I'd try and get a look at that Jet saw before you decide to buy it. Looking at the specs. and motor power in particular (1500w), I'd guess it's going to be a cheap and noisy brush motor affair that starts with a real 'bang' - unlike the Axminster TS200 you use at work. :?

If you think you can manage with a saw of this size and build it in to a larger system for extra support then, you could trawl eBay for one of the smaller Bosch/DeWalt/Makita/Metabo/Elektra Beckum saws; the kind with telescopic extensions, designed to be moved on and of of site - like this. I've never used one but they generally get decent reviews. Plus, they're bound to be better built than anything coloured 'white'. :wink:

Saws in the sub-£200 mark can come with a world of problems (I used to own a 10" Fox saw). Even if you can sort the fence and some kind of cross cutting device, you may find the blade wobbles and doesn't run true. Some of these saws use cheap 'splitters' in place of riving knives, which don't stay vertical, flop about and generally get in the way as you're trying to feed something through the blade. :x

Router tables are great for small tenons. I've also got a jig four routing larger ones with hand-held router.

just out of curiosity whos going to be the supplier of the DEFT saws, i was saving for one and i am almost there

damn and blast

if there is not a supplier could i contact the man who supplied, or the manufactarer direct

 

[Bluekingfisher]

He gave me the details, or at least part of the details of who bought the DEFT saws. It was a company called Goss Engineering in Charfield, no phone number I'm afraid.

He wasn't sure whether they were going to sell them on to the public or whether they were for the company themselves. I don't know how many he had in stock but I understand he was a one horse operation so if they were for sale they may have already gone as it was about 10 weeks ago he went belly up.

If you do contact them I would be interested, as I am sure many would be to what the position is.

Good luck

That all depends on shipping costs, both to the country and to your house. Obviously you'll not be getting any volume discount, nor after sales service.

 

[ciscoeuk]

true wizer but it may be the best way to get hold of the saw

i have found the xcaliber manufacturers, just got to find the deft ot somthing simular

all the best

It's tempting but not cheap enough IMO. I'd rather go with a SIP or even a 2nd hand saw in this country, I think.
