Thread: Woodfast Tablesaw

G'Day "HazzaB",
I too have to look for the same sort of thing for work,
so if you don't mind I'll sit in on your enquiry, thank you.
cheers, Crowie

lucky bugger!

hi hazzab, my friend and i have that table my friend is selling his and im not that happy with mine should of got one with mitre slot much more acurate . the sliding table is very fiddly to get accurate, the fence is okay regards hutch

Hey Hutch,

Thanks for the honest opinion.

That has crossed my mind, I am off to the Hare and Forbes guys next week and also Ron Mack Machinery, I will also call into Carb-a-tec and have a look there, I am also looking in the quokka (local traders Mart Paper) and Gumtree ( another Trader site)

HazzaB. Have to agree with Hutch. The sliding table is an absolute mongrel to get set up right. I'm trying to nut out a modification to make the adjustment simpler. And the switch on the side sticking out sideways is a pain in the bum so to speak, catches my shorts and anything else that moves past it too close. I wound up repositioning it on a 90 degree bracket so it faces towards the operator. Otherwise, the saw works very well....regards Twosheds.

I went to the Adelaide Wood show and looked at the Carbatec, Woodfast, Jet etc and was not impressed with them at all.
All the ones I looked at were too rough And the ones with sliding tables were too flimsy

I have recently bought a CS1012 table saw from Gpw for $ 1375.00.
The dust extraction on this saw is EXCELLANT

Couple of years ago I got a Leda and crawled over it checking alignment, tolerances etc and was quite happy.

I have a WF bandsaw (the 350) and it's a bit 'agricultural' but appreciate their other lines aren't necessarily the same.
