You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice ru-vid.comUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.

Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

‘Further evidence, if needed, that the people who design tools don’t actually use them…’ 💥 Damn right! Good video Keith, and solid upgrades. 👍

@richa8308 Год назад

Came across the same problem within weeks of purchasing my Axminster cabinet saw and thought it must be me as nothing could have been designed with such obvious limitations! As in many other walks of life, the customer becomes the company's regression tester. But surely this is a mature product and such issues should have been fixed long ago? (And why does the riving knife have to stand above the blade, limiting utility? ) The fact that there are so many great videos of obvious improvements would be a source of severe embarrassment if I were the designer, particularly in such a mature field.

I bought the SIP version of that table saw probably 20 years ago and the only issues I've had with it is the poor dust extraction and I came up with the same solution as yourself and I've put up with the fence not moving parallel to the blade but I've got in the habit to check it every time. So I'll definitely try some shims. Great video thanks

Right decision Keith on your choice , I managed to get the same Axminster saw and also the ap50e trade wall mounted dust extractor , dust extractor works very well with my old saw , Metabo planer/thicknesser and 12” planer , I am just waiting for the 16amp power output to be installed to start playing with my saw .

@andyc972 Год назад

Thanks Keith, I share your pain with trying to decide things like this, not a straight forward comparison so interesting to hear your thought process. I think Axminster owe you one on this ( at least the cost of the crown guard ) as you've shown how to get round the shortcomings of the saw which everyone gains from. To be fair to them, they're normally pretty good with spares and repairs so I'm sure with a nudge they'll make the alternative bolt available ! Thanks also to Karl for all his input !

@commando552 Год назад

I have this (or very similar) saw so thought I would share a couple of things i learnt from it. To adjust the fence I had a couple of square base magswitches so I locked them onto the table parallel to the blade (and the mitre slot as they should be the same) at the front and back of the table and clamped the fence against them to hold it in place whilst tightening the bolts. As for the crown guard, with mine if you cranked the blade up all the way I think the fence slipped in under the guard so you could get close to the blade (as i type this i realise that I think mine is a 12" and yours is a 10" so it might be different) but either way I just ended up removing the guard for close cuts as frankly I think it is safer to have good access for a push stick than to kept the guard in place and either not use a push stick or so something sketchy with it. I have since totally abandoned the crown guard for most jobs as the riving knife is too tall for grooving cuts which I do more now so I ordered a spare riving knife and cut it down to slightly shorter than than the blade height which removes the crown guard mounting slot. i ordered the 2nd riving knife as I assumed i would switch back and forth, but frankly I have never put the original and crown guard back in as i have never felt the need. The dust extraction never worked well enough for me to care about loosing it, and I think from a safety standpoint for me it is better to always have a riving knife rather than a crown guard, especially on narrower cuts where I have better access for push sticks or blocks without a guard getting in the way.

@Jako-fh8zg Год назад

Brilliant information, thank you so much. I’m considering buying a new one, haven’t used one since I cut the ends of my fingers off, been using track saw instead, but it’s taking too long. A lot to consider before buying eh? Love the Chanel 👍👍👍👍

@ianvicedomini2648 Год назад

The trouble is the manufacturer doesn't take into account that you may not need a complete new crown guard but it's all about them forcing you to buy things excessively regardless of the one thing you need to put an issue right Keith. Great video mate 👍🏽 👌

@teresabell1014 Год назад

You are so funny...I like how you figured it all out !

@BischBaschBosch Год назад

The axminster would have had it on grunt alone for me. Have to say though, I love that LJ supply a very decent looking fence as standard. Like the mods. I may do a similar swivel castor conversion on my Planer. Similar to yours was and just as much a pain in the ass to move in a tight space!

@cobberpete1 Год назад

Great stuff here Keith. I gave my standard fence measurement accuracy away, a long time back. not readable / reliable and not square. It may seem like extra work but I'm happy with my solutions. I use a standard measure tape which lives on the fence. a speed square as my 'Square', two magnets attached to the fence to hold the fence in place, along with slight pressure on the existing locking leaver . Yes they hold and I get accuracy every time. I too use two systems for the dust. table and over blade.

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thanks for sharing

@EddyCarroll Год назад

Nice solutions, Keith! For the saw insert, could you countersink and glue a washer or two to the underneath of the rebate on the wooden insert and then fit the magnet close by under the saw table itself?

@paultay23 Год назад

Well I have lost my bet with myself..... It was theLumberJack for me... but as always you have made the improvements you needed so win win. Nice one Keith.... and Karl Those single swivel bases are rank, I bought one for my Drum Sander, soon replaced it with heavy duty castors

@markjarman7819 Год назад

I used a turn hold down thing from a dewalt table saw insert for mine works a treat. Possible available as a spare part.

@bullwinkle69 Год назад

Great video Keith. Regarding your castors, usually load ratings are 1/3 the theoretical load limit, to account for uses/conditions out of the manufacturers control, in your own workshop you could sensibly push the rated limit with no problems.

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Awesome!

@Quaker521 Год назад

Great upgrades. With the insert plate could you add magnets to what would be the front side rather than the bottom? This would not give as good a hold but it may be enough with your flush-fitting plate.

@awantamta Год назад

Nice adjustments

@GoogleAreDumb Год назад

Have to say, I think you made the right call. I've got some Axminster gear and a couple of Lumberjack bits as well, and while the Axminster ones do have some bits of awful design (as you showed!) they do at least feel like they'll last, and their customer service is excellent. The Lumberjack stuff has much more of a "this is going to fail at an inopportune moment and take three months for them to send me replacement parts" feel.

@whyfearfear82 Год назад

Just seems like the Axminster came with a ton of compromises though. Also, maybe I’m wrong, but I can’t find anywhere a review that suggests the lumberjack has a build quality issue.

@adrianscarlett Год назад

@@whyfearfear82 I've had a ts1800 for a while, no issues with mine at all. The Axminster was way too expensive for my purposes.

@MrHighflyingclive Год назад

@markstuart4052 5 месяцев назад

Hello from Ireland !I have that exact problem with the table fence so I'm gong to do that, thanks. The screws that hold the fence rail to the fence clamp are a bit stripped, any tios for fixing those? My fence is basically adjusted every cut by tapping it with the screws left alone. Seems dangerous to have a fence shift on most cuts!

@adammono1839 Год назад

What about fitting a magnet to a different part of the insert plate and gluing in a piece of corresponding metal?

@srh1101 Год назад

You can use magnets on the insert plate Keith. All you need to do is insert some into the sides of the plate that you didn't rout away. A couple 25mm x 8mmx 2mm neodymium magnets on each side ought to be plenty to grip the metal of the bed.

Great stuff from StrawByte!

@flyga100 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for this! I'm considering to buy an Axminster AW254 but I'm actually a bit hesitant, only due to the way the fence is attached. In your 1800 TS review, it was quite apparent the fence attachment, with all its added adjustment capabilities was superior to the Axminster. Would it be possible to buy a third-party fence attachment which has the TS1800 fence adjustment capabilities and put them on the Axminster? If so, can anybody indicate where I could purchase that? Thanks!

@jonathh14 Год назад

Any chance I can piggyback off this discussion. I have the "Einhell 2000W 250mm". I find it wanting. Not really wide enough and the guide rail is stubby and has far too much play (and I won't even mention the cross cut). I was looking at buying an after market guide rail to try and help, I found one got about £120. Eventually I found the Lumberjack 10" portable table saw for £250. It sports a rigid guide rail and a wide extension table and it is portable to boot. Thinking about selling my Einhell, saving the money I'd have spent on guiderail and just getting this. Have you, or anyone else got any thoughts on this table saw etc? Please/thank you.

Maybe, Karl can design a pin for the guard using 3D prints? Might be a lot faster to use Karl than to get an entire large-company to design one extra thing (something which they should've already been aware of). Like always, great video! P.s. I'm quite concerned regarding the castors, incase they fail on you while making a cut. Unless, I missed something?

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

I think metal ones are more practical, besides, seems Axminster are already on top of it. If the castors fail, the saw only drops by 15mm at the most, so not a big deal

I paid £5.00 for two fuses,they lasted less time than an ordinary fuse. I normally like to switch the power off when the saw’s not in use,I find if I leave the power switch on the wall on,even when the saw’s not in use,my fuses last much longer. When I finish in my workshop,I lower the blade and lock my workshop door,I don’t want my grandchildren to wonder in and press the on switch on a saw that’s ready to cut 24/7. I’ve been advised to upgrade the saw to 16a too. More expense.

@jasher2847 Год назад

Most of this was absolutely golden, but one thing stood out as a huge safety issue. You just made your table saw easier to move, AND took away the ability to lock it in place, all at the same time. Isn't this unsafe? Obviously it won't move on you with smaller projects, the weight alone will keep it stationary, but what about when you're wrestling some massive sheet of thick plywood onto it -- or worse, through it? You need some kind of foot-operated kick stop to lock it in place -now-, or even just casters with brakes, because if you're like me you'll forget and only remember it doesn't have a lock now when it actually moves at the worst possible time.

@milkod2001 Год назад

I think 2 original casters still have breaks on plus this saw is super heavy. You won.t move it when cutting stuff on it unless you put whole body weight on it.

@stevebettany8778 Год назад

When you measure depth use the other end of the caliper it gives a lot more flat surface thus easier and more accurate. I put my back out using the Record bandsaw wheels so spent a furtune on the improved wheel lift abomination. Whoever designed this never used it once the table overhangs the lift handle and the resulting contortion in use is bad for your health.

I would like to purchase a Hammer K3 Saw Table with sliding table but Felder UK have a strange way of selling or rather not selling! They will not publish the prices. Their excuse is that everyone wants different accessories. I said why not publish the price of the accessories as well? But that seemed to be above their level of comprehension.

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Sounds about right! I don't know why it has to be so difficult

@MigleschienHysteria Год назад

Interesting scoring system. It heavily favoured the lumberjack because it has more lines that score so it’s easier to get a higher score Would have been better to score each saw for each of the lines and then get a total, or average Then again, the Axminster still won haha

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

But the reason it has more lines that score is because it has more advantages? 👍

@richa8308 Год назад

Put the same criteria for both saws, the Axminster would simply show zero where it didn't have the Lumberjack's advantages. Same score!

@MigleschienHysteria Год назад

@@richa8308 not sure I get this logic. Are you assuming that because one saw scores higher the other will automatically score 0? It’s ok to score one less than the other but not like all or nothing

@richa8308 Год назад

@@MigleschienHysteria Hi Jack, sorry, my thought pattern is not well expressed. If we took all criteria listed for both saws and applied against each, there would be a fairer scoring system. However, Keith will inevitably have used all criteria, at least subconsciously, and his exclusion in certain listings suggests a dismissal, or zero score, at least subconsciously. Therefore, had the criteria lists been comprehensive, the score would still have been the same. I'm not assuming that a higher score negates the other's score for that criteria, but am suggesting that where the criteria is not listed, its score is automatically zero. Big assumptions on how Keith's mind has worked, but its generally how we all think.

Makes me want to put my table saw together, it's still in bits 😂

@adeh503 Год назад

Yep, pen pushers who design tools never use em 👍

@utopian666 Год назад

It seems to me that the table saws you've had since the old Dewalt have all been a net downgrade. Is that fair? I suppose the bigger tables are really useful, but they all seem to be of inferior design, especially when it comes to the fence and measuring.

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Depends what you want out of a saw really. I wouldn't want to go back to the DeWalt, I found it unpleasant to use mainly because of how noisy it was
