3 days work on my new saw.

[Keefie]

Well it looks like Axminster came through, I'm now on my 6th saw and it's working perfectly. They never managed to sort out the EX16, either too much vibration or way too much North/South and East/West blade movement. They upgraded me to an EX21 free of charge. It was too long to fit my workbench where the 16 used to be, so I have utilised an old bandsaw stand untill the correct tables come in stock. I still have a slight north/south blade movement but only approx 1mm , it not causing any problems with the cutting except on really tight turns when it makes the wood shake a little.I have now cut 7 items on it and there isnt a mark on the table surface, the old saws were getting scratched to hell as I had to hold down the wood so hard to stop it jumping around all over the place where the blade was out of alignment. I have attatched picture of a few bits made on the new saw over the last three days.

Hi DG, saw is great, a pleasure to cut with. I can only sit at the saw for short periods, about 20 minutes, then I have to get up and walk round for a bit because of my knee locking up, but even with that limitation I have managed to cut and finish 7 items in 3 days. I couldn't have done that on the other ones. All I can say is Thank You Axminster for not giving up, and getting it sorted for me. Their customer service is excellent.

Good work , cannot give credit to the saw only - the person behind it does make the difference also .......MB

good to see you got it sorted out after going thru all these saw's.you have done a very nice job on the pattern's too. can i ask you ,did you use pattern's of the dog's head's,and insert them into the frames yourself,or find the pattern's already done,if so,where could i get some.thankyou for any help-----dave

[Keefie]

Dave, I saw them for sale at a craft fair, the bloke said he designed them himself when I asked where to buy a pattern. I asked him if he minded me taking a picture and trying to use it as a pattern, so thats what I did. They were all cut from a printed photo.
