I will be using mine today to cut an oak table in two - Just spent 1/2 hour serving the garage for the spanners to change the blade - then remembered they were screwed on the back of the saw itself!

It’s a nightmare being old, eh? :rofl:

Just spent some time actually reading and following the instructions to set everything up. Its basically spot on out of the box. Only the fence scale needed a half mm tweak. Very impressed.

Mine has come with a 24 tooth general purpose blade, have you used that to cut ply with good results? Or have you bought a finer blade for wood work?

A new 24t blade will be fine for cutting ply.

Mine is 24t and gives a lovely finish on 12mm and 19mm ply, as well as hardwood and softwood. I don’t think you will need anything finer.

Good to know. Thanks.

Yes I had decent results with ply with supplied blade - I have just replaced it with a 25 tooth Freud pro I saw it recommended somewhere. The old blade was starting to scorch plywood a little.

This. I’ve had two tablesaws both of which I swapped in Freuds.

Also put a Freud in my 6inch Dewalt circular saw.

This only serious criticism I have is the noise level and type of sound. It’s got a nasty whine. Get a pair of -30dB ear defenders sharpish if you haven’t already.

Ive turned it on but not cut anything yet. Agree it’s loud, will use ear (and eye) protection for sure.

A friend sent it on whatsapp Simon, not sure where he got it. Simple but clever…
