Thread: Is this a combination machine?

Very strange indeed. Dont think id want one!! But then i have a table saw and a radial arm saw that will do most of what i want!

I guess it is a sort of a combination machine. I wonder what the extra weight does to the degree of control.

The "il-legno" site is an interesting one. Being able to read italian makes it even more fun. I like the way they call their "shed" a "Laboratorio di falegnameria" which means "woodworking laboratory". On my shed I have a pro-looking sign that says, "clean air laboratory - no unauthorised entry"!

He he looks like something the british would use!
Just look in any older pommy WW how to book...

Weird is the best that I can say about that one

Too much Chianti with lunch before hitting the drawing board methinks

That type of saw has been around for years.
Occaisionally they even pop up in our shops.

Looks a bit scary to me. Those blades are dangerous enough anyway.

I'm just surprised they didn't think to attach some jointer blades behind the tablesaw. In for a penny...

electrta beckam and elu used to do a similar machine.

I scratch my head & wonder why:confused:

cheers

Interesting

I saw a review on one in a pommy mag a while ago, it was a deWally, which means it was probably the same as Soundman was talking about.
Could never quite work out how you would manipulate such an awkward, user unfriendly, unergonomical beast.

Very very carefully :eek:

I have a feeling that Ruffly has something similar at her place. Think she used it a couple of times before it "bit" her then it has sat still since.

My finger chomping monster is an ELU, about 20 years old, semi-industrial, Heavy, and supposedly moveable from worksite to worksite. It's a table saw which flips over to be a compound cutoff saw. It 'bit' the same finger twice on either side of the finger so I stopped using it after that as I didn't want to 'repaint' all the concrete out back or lose that finger - third time and all that.

It's now sitting in HWMBO's shed gathering dust and whatever else he puts on it. The bugger of it is that it's not ours, can't sell it and the guy who owns it doesn't want it back...... Ah well.

As for the one Tony found - you couldn't pay me enough money to even contemplate using it - scary!!!
