Missed the bit about which tablesaw - DW745. The fence is great - rack and pinion. It's a site saw rather than a fully fledged workshop table saw, but I use the track saw for converting large stock and the table saw for the stuff it's better suited to. My only real criticism of it is the slop in the mitre rail, but I put a piece of masking tape on the rail and it fits like a glove. The similarly priced Bosch also seems to have the same issue, but uses a non-standard width rail so you can't use regular aftermarket mitre gauges.

The World Designs forum is down, I contacted Matthew and this was his reply.

"Hi Philip

Thanks for being in touch. Yes, it’s been down since Friday morning and the host’s are aware and “working on it”. They don’t man the phones at the weekend (whether they’re engineers take it off too, I’m not sure - even if I’d like to think they didn’t).

At the moment I simply don’t know when things will be fixed and am quite frustrated. I’ll drop you a line when I know anything. In the meanwhile, apologies.

Best regards,

Matthew"

Here's a photo of the workbench. Two MFT inserts on a bench knocked up with what I had to hand.

And a closer-up of the top with dogs and rail for illustration. 45 degrees also dead easy, and any other angle the holes provides! I'm still a bit precious about the inserts so haven't cut in to them yet, I've had the rail overhanging the edge, or uses spacers under the wood to lift the blade up.

Also, I've just ordered a vacuum brake bleeder kit in a plastic case, easy to do the job single handed and only £11.25 on Ebay.
To be honest the tool was a failure, it sucked in air via the bleed screw threads rather than draw brake fluid through. :(

It may work better with motorcycle brakes.

Thanks for that - who did the tops come from?

Can't imagine being without it now TBH.

There are alternatives. He could probably do a different size, though he might charge extra for cad time. Or alternatively Axminster do the Parf Guide kit and you can drill your own pattern to suit exactly what you want, as many times as you like. I went the quick route.

What a lovely sunny day. :D

Wandering around the garden just wearing shorts and flip flops.

Might not be so nice for my neighbours. :lol:

That’s one pair of shorts and one pair of flip-flops more than my grandson’s wearing in the garden right now, but at 18 months he can get away with it.
The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.
