Foxfold Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Well, it arrived today and I couldn't be more pleased. It runs as smooth as silk. I've cleaned the table and waxed it and dusted it off. Tony says I've been such a giddy kipper all morning that he'll be glad when I go in my shop and give him some peace . Excuse the background noise, Tony was tinkering 20200625_172033[1].mp4 Edited June 25, 2020 by Foxfold Wilson142, meflick, John B and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now just get that old one resurrected and you'll wonder whant to cut next. I know having two great saws, the biggest problem is figuring out which saw to use. That's not a bad problem to have. Best of luck with your new toy. Foxfold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 A real beauty Brenda. Now make sure you get the old one fixed and you won't have any more worries.

Best of luck with your new toy. He fixed the old one yesterday Ray, he filed and tinkered until everything was flush and it works like a good one. He said if I'd just had the patience to wait, I could have saved myself a fortune. However, too late for me to send my new one back. He'd have to prise it out of my hands with a crowbar, now I've got it I'm not letting it go. I told him It's worth every penny just to make me smile Edited June 26, 2020 by Foxfold John B, OCtoolguy and meflick 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don watson Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Congratulations on the new saw Brenda and good luck with it, it looks awesome. Having the 'old' one repaired will double your enjoyment as there will be no more down time awaiting spare parts. lol OCtoolguy and Foxfold 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oges Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Great looking saw, looks similar to my Hegner clone except mine doesn't have that big emergency stop button OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all I've ever known so it doesn't bother me. I have been told that the Axminster Trade Series saws are very much Hegner clones.

Been a few years since I have been behind my saw so Im looking forward to getting on it this weekend Foxfold and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
