Do you now own the Hammer saw?
If so are you pleased with it
Richard.
I do an yes am very pleased with it. Main thing to note is that the saw if you get the 240v 2 phase version pulls quite a start up current (20A) so you need to have a good circuit, and a special type of circuit breaker that will hold a little longer without tripping when the motor first starts. I resaw 200mm walnut without problems... re-sawing was the main reason I got the bandsaw.
It takes a bit of time to set-up, factory alignment isn't brilliant, and to be honest, whilst the fence is very solid, there drift alignment isn't that easy, you have to do it by aligning the round bar that the fence connects to, the fence itself has not adjustability. I wonder why manufacturers don't make it possible to rotate the whole table, at least then the groove in th table for the mitre square could also compensate for any drift
