Thread: New TSC-10HB

You should have no problems. Assembly is straight faoward and with mine, all adjustments were correct out of the box.
With the mobile base, I bought some steel RHS rather than use wood. Can't remember how I got the saw onto it, but it probably involved 2 people and a crowbar.

Here ya go

Fantastic Dazzler. Just what I needed.

Cheers

Dazzler's treatise saved my sanity. I also printed off the Grizzly and Delta manuals. You made a great decision and you'll love the saw. I fitted the mobile base without assistance, early on, before I fitted the wings so the weight was less. Masking tape was needed to fine tune the wings. Lastly, the switch..... I didn't realise you had to turn and release the off button. Thought I had a DOA motor.

Hah! Another proud user.

No problem getting it setup either. One person job if you enjoy huffing and puffing. Put it on the mobile base (I bought a metal H&F one) before fitting the wings. I haven't completed the tuning yet - my arbor measurement was about 6-7 thou which, according to the online consensus, is a bit high: I'd like about 2-3. I'm doing mitre-slot-to-blade and blade-fence this weekend. I see you're in Canberra - let me know if you'd like to get together or want to see one or borrow a dial gauge. Biggest problem I've had so far is getting 25-5/8" and 30-5/8" reducing rings in Canberra - anywhere! CT sell 16mm which are a bees d*ck too big for the 5/8" in the two blades I have. CT Sydney were the answer.

Before you install the wings and stuff, remove the cast top and degrease the trunnion and workings then hit it with some INOX spray or similar(dust doesnt stick to it).
The factory grease loves saw dust and will soon jam the movement of the trunnion assembly.

When degreasing chuck a heap of rags in the bottom makes the clean up a lot easier, obviously you cant use water with the degreaser so you need to use a heap of it, I blasted mine with compressed air to get into the nooks'n'crannies seem to work OK.

I wouldn't be putting a 190kg saw onto a mobile base - personally anyway, it's just too heavy. There will be people who have and they'll say you can though but I wouldn't.

If your saw is only 190kg, you'll have no difficulty assembling it at all.
My ST-250 is 240kg, I assembled it on my own but I wish there was someone who could've helped, as it is very heavy to get onto its feet and move around. It was put onto my ute by a forklift and two of us got it off after we took the box apart. We put it onto its top on cardboard, I persisted with it until I got it using pine studs to move it around.

Get someone to help you.

Engine cranes rule!

Yahoo,
The new toy is in the workshop and unpacking, cleaning and assembly has begun in earnest. It came with a router wing but I'm a bit surprised. I expected it to be installed on the right hand side but the holes seem to dictate that it be on the left. ???? Have I got it wrong guys?
<!-- / message -->

The router wing must be fitted to the LEFT hand side. U can't fit it on the right as the router will hit the door.

I can't see why not. It's because of the weight that the mobile base is needed. How else can it be moved around. Mine is a Leda 12" so it's a decent weight, and the base is invaluable. I wouldn't be without it.

Like Gumby, I have a 12" Leda too on a mobile base. It is a standard mobile base like the Jet ones, and is a little flimsy, but does the job.

I intend on adding a H/Duty sliding table (1200mm docking capacity) and for that I will be making a custom mobile base. You can pretty much put any machine on wheels.

Yeah, it would be nice to have enough room in the shed not to need to move anything, but life ain't what it oughter be, for most of us.
I put my contractor's saw on wheels about a year and a half ago. Can't imagine why I just dragged it about the w'shop for 20-something years before that!

My only caveat is that the base I put it on has brakes on the front wheels, which hold ok for regular ripping and crosscutting, but if you lean on the saw, it WILL move. This only happens once in a while, when I'm bending forward to check that the saw is hitting exactly on the mark, cutting a rough-ish 'one-off' tenon shoulder, or such like. I guess I got used to it being steady over the years, so the first time it moved it scared the daylights out of me!

But the base I put under my new bandsaw is the type that has the main castor wheels on cams which you kick off when it's in position, and the weight of the machine then bears on the floor. Much steadier! Go for one of those, if you have a choice.......

Cheers,

Because the weight is on the wheels and the rubber feet. This is unless all the wheels on your mobile base retract. This is the only reason I'm not in favour of doing this, and I did say that I wouldn't do it but there would be some people out there that would do it.

If your wheels do retract, please tell me the brand and I'll look at getting one the same.

I don't want to move my saw table anyway, sometimes it would be handy to but I'm ahppy with where it is now.
