thanks for the info, will mainly be doing cross cuts, mitre and cuts for splines to join frames, will check out link.

Update, After much deliberation i purchased the Einhell TC-TS 2025/1 U table saw, Toolstation had great deal of £99.98 with free postage. Currently used one on ebay with bidding at £82 with 2 days to go! I know it is not top of the range, but at this price i can dip my toes to see if this is somethi...

this looks like the mutts nuts of smallish table saws, if you can find one.

The point about rpm and blades is thought provoking, the rage also has smaller bore on blades.

Here is video on rage and different blades.

I would love to be able to buy a high end saw, but I can’t justify the cost. This is the best saw for the money I can find.

I looked at the Evolution fury 5-S, but the reviews are not as good, mainly its accuracy and robustness.

The evolution for the monks the best you can buy.

Hi, the Evolution RAGE5S Evolution Rage 5-S has good reviews especially for accuracy.

The other way to do this is to just buy the lengths of PAR to the required width needed. This isn't as economical as slicing into wider widths, but you save on having to finish up sawn edges, as Prospero pointed out. And you save on the cost of a planer/thicknesser. I was thinking of doing this or ...

Opps forgot to add link for timbers

This is the timber I intend to use, will stained either black or very dark (Shade to be determined) To compliment warm b&w prints.

Thanks

Thanks for all the information it is great help.


I plan on using the Evolution RAGE5S Evolution Rage 5-S 255mm, it has 1800w motor and has good reviews.

I intend to us splines to join frames.

Thanks

Hi, I really fancy cutting my own mouldings from blank lengths of wood, hard and soft, and so am looking to get a good quality table saw. Question is which would be the best blade? Research has lead me to getting a blade with high number of teeth and not to wide, but stable. Any thoughts as only one...

Hi, trying to find out about aluminium subframes for dibond mounted prints, can’t seem to find any info on purchasing or making them?

Lion sell aluminium bars for subframes, but not sure which ones would suitable.

Thanks

I have a shelf for my mountcutter that is above a door. Or do you envisage it hanging in the middle of the room rather than at the edge? If you look on the bottom you will probably find that it sits on just four or maybe six rubber feet, so I wouldn't worry about the warping if suspended in the man...

lol so simple i missed it, good idea thanks

Unfortunately no wall space, hence hanging above bench idea.

Hi, I have a valiani astra 120 mount cutter which is not used everyday, and as I have very limited space storage is an issue. I have been thinking that I could setup a pulley system and when not in use I could store the cutter above my work bench close the ceiling! Apart from the obvious which is ma...

Hi, i have this app to help with pricing for the small amount of framing i do.

I am trying to get my head around how it works, but am a bit lost.

For instance, what are

Frame Base Cost
Mount Base Cost
Glass Base Cost

How do you work them out?

thanks

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but while researching a suitable workbench surface i found this one and the suggestion of Correx. While getting the material to build the workbench i found some sheets of Correx at builders merchant, only £4.50 for 2mm 2400x1220mm sheets. I got a couple in black and...
