New SCMS?

[mailee]

Well Mike and Martin together you have sorted out my new saw thanks. I installed the new piece today and it works fine. I should rephrase that, it is an awesome machine! :shock: Replacing the pin was much harder than removing it as it was pretty tight. I ended up making a tool from an old bolt and a threaded plate which I installed between the casting and the end of the pin and wound it the final bit. My tools are out on a job at the moment but when I get them back I am going to check all the settings to make sure it is accurate. I couldn't belive the cut from the standard blade as the timber felt like it had been planed! Well worth the money I think. Thanks again for all your help guys. :wink:

Mailee thats great.

What blade did you get with yours (series 40?)

Cheers

Mike

 

[mailee]

Yes Mike it was the series 40 blade. I was surprised to find it needed a bushing though. Mind you it means that you can use the readily available 12" 30mm bore blades I suppose?

Oh and by the way Mike you were right about the accessories I looked them up. I can get the mitre stand for £116 and the laser is 48.50 plus postage so the total packeage would cost me just a tad over £600! not a bad deal at all. Next month I think.

 

[Mike.C]

Yeah Mailee there both well worth getting thats for sure. You will have done well getting the lot for £600.

Cheers

Mike

what the h*ll, I have just been paid for a couple of jobs and it more than covers the price of the laser and stand so I have ordered them! :shock: but for God's sake DON'T TELL SWMBO or I will not get chance to use them. :roll: It means I got the whole lot for £610.84! not bad eh?

 

[Mike.C]

Now Mailee your just being a flash git, :roll: and I am afraid I am going to have to tell your Mrs Mailee, unless of course you can cross my palm with silver, or maybe a nice Lie Nielsen :lol:

Nice one mate you will not regret it :wink:

Let me know what you think when you get it all set up.

Cheers

Mike

Well the stand and laser arrived yesterday and I have been playing around setting it up. In the brochure it stated that the stand was made from lightweight aluminium for portability and after heaving it around I can only assume it is for a man with the strength of Hercules! As for the laser guide it took a bit of fiddling to get it mounted as they don't leave much room for the wiring and plugs. I thought I had trapped the wires at first as it seemed hard to locate the top cover of the switch assembly but it is working fine now. I still have to set up the saw and laser but ran out of time today so will have another go tomorrow. Still a good piece of kit at a good price and I am sure I will have a lot of work for it in the future.
