Axminster

Hello all

I have a larger powermatic 64A table saw that I'm selling on Craig's list now. I only use it to rip boards as I have a Bosch miter saw and the track saw set up. So I don't need the wide rip capacity. I saw the Axminster saws online and it looks like they would work for my needs. Can one order them here in the states? I watched the new Brit work shop video on the planner and they seem like a good unit. I thought of cutting down the rails but just rather have a tool that is set up for my needs. I like the mafell table saw but the price is kind of crazy.  Any input would be great

They do ship most of their stuff but check the voltage. They're easy to communicate with too. Just consider the time difference when you expect to get a reply.

I am hoping that Axminster will join the FOG (as a dealer) and so they will be able to respond to questions like this straight away.

I suspect that heavy machines are best purchased from NA based suppliers as shipping might be an issue.

So there is no dealers in the USA for them? I can't see to find any

Send an email to their export department (export@axminster.co.uk) and see what they say.

Thanks Peter for the link. I sent them a email. I'll let you know what they say.  The powermatic is gone this morning so the hunt for a new one is on.  I want a saw that is like the size of the saw stop job site saw but want the quality of a high end saw in a small package. Not sure if that is out there or not.

does that mean a MAFELL Erika would not do it?

I have thought about the mafell but one can not use a dado with it. It would be nice to be able to use one. Also the price is pretty far out there. $3700 is a lot of cash for a saw. It would be nice to check one out in person then maybe one might. Not many choices out there. I know others have done it how does one get the CMS insert for the track saw here in NA?

Does anybody have a mafell table saw or a hammer k3 in the Colorado Springs or Denver area that would be willing to let me have a look at theirs?  Thanks
