Great video thanks for covering the bits I missed! And well done for getting the dust port the right way up! Have you considered just cutting the aluminium rails off by 6-8 inches or so? That would give the best of both worlds, retaining extra capacity and being able to move around it 👍
Thanks Keith. Yeah I did think about maybe cutting the rails but didn't really wanna do that. Maybe a workshop extension could be an option ive also thought about that.
Hope you didn't mind the joke regarding the dust port. If I'm honest you probably saved me from doing it as that's just the sort of thing I usually do😅
Good luck with the new saw and figuring out how to fit it in your shed! Cheers Dave
Cheers mate I'm sure it'll fit mate, not gonna let a minor detail like that spoil anything 😅
Great run Down mate.. looks a really good table saw , cheers Rob
Cheers mate appreciate that
Good video Dave really enjoyed it.
Thanks mate appreciate that
Definitely a good looking Saw. I honestly thought saws in the UK had to have a brake on the blade so I learned something new!
Lumberjack definitely seem to offer some good stuff, I’ve barely bitten the bullet and bought Lumberjack stuff a couple of times now, the alleged poor customer service - when I looked online about them - really put me off. I’ve spoken to them on Instagram a few times though and they’ve seemed very nice.
Knowing they’re doing better at after sales definitely inspires more confidence, cheers dude!
Thanks Dean. Yeah I have to say the woman I spoke to in the office was lovely & I was impressed with how they handled this situation. I was a little worried but I would happily use the company again. Plus I got £100 back😊
@@GrumpysWorkshop4 ace! 👍👍
👍👍👍 1st class review. Thank you Dave
Cheers mate appreciate that
Easy and simple explanation 👌.
Many thanks 😊 🙏 to you.
I wanted to order one but unfortunately out of stock 😂
These are back with us the end of September :)
Thanks mate & as lumberjack said back I'm stock end of September.
Looks like a very nice saw👍
Thanks mate appreciate it & thanks for watching
Hi Dave, Great honest review, with a lot of points covered that we can tell already will help a lot of future customers. Thank you and we look forward to seeing a potential video from you with the saw up and running for your workshop :) You know where we are if you need us. Kind Regards Lumberjack Tools
Thanks guys appreciate that
Looking forward to seeing you making some sawdust with it
You and me both! Thanks mate appreciate the comment & thanks for watching
Great video dude, thank you!
Glad you liked it! Thanks
Great review Dave, looks like a good solid saw and with good customer service 👍. As you said, you find out how good a company is at times like that and I've recently had a very good response from Triton Tools when I had problems with my thicknesser, so big 👍 to them too.
Thanks mate appreciate it
Great review. Have you thought about turning the saw around and having a narrower out feed on this side of the workshop
Thanks mate, yeah I've thought of lots of ways. Just have to decide what's best
this vid has a better editing than the previous, u doing good my man, keep your head up !!!
Thanks mate I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching
Looks very similar to my Rigid saw. The Bosch aluminium router table (RA1181), might bolt right on the end perfectly like mine.
Had this saw for two years. Had some real issues with it. 13 A fuses regularly blew when the machine started up, and annoyingly, a washer came loose in the body of the saw and got caught up in the blade raising and lowering mechanism. It now makes a bit of a noise,but still works fine. Not sure how this will affect the longevity of the machine. Complaints said, I love this saw. The cast iron top is perfectly flat,the mitre slots are machined precisely and will accept after market accessories. The saw is powerful and will cut 2" oak down the grain,accurately and with ease. Changed the 13A plug to a 16A plug,no problem since doing so. Sockets generally run on a 32A supply. I wired the 16A plug directly into a socket,now works just as it should. Would I buy this machine again? Yes.
Nice upgrade! Might need a shed extension soon ;)
Thanks mate, yeah I've been thinking the same😁
Nice video m8. If i was to upgrade my table saw, this is the one i would buy.
Thanks mate appreciate that. Yeah so far it's better than the axminster.
I bought the same saw in the summer and been very happy with it. The ability to put a dado stack on it is a time saver,, however, a dado stack is very heavy and I found that an 8" stack of 9mm wide is probably the limit otherwise you will go through a lot of slow blow fuses.
I won't be using a dado stack I'll just do things the slow way with multiple passes. Not actually used the saw much as of yet but apart from the initial problems with the bent threaded bar it seems OK but time will tell.
Brilliant bud. I'm still on my DeWalt but I'll have one soon sort of drifted off into festool for a bit but I love table saws
Festool blimey you must of won the lottery 🤣🤣🤣
Great vid dave, i have to be honest if i could afford to sale my axminster and buy this saw i would but im skint so cant. I think there are things which are better than my axminster ts216
For the money axminster charge I think their saws are over priced. I got mine extremely cheap & still didn't like it. Thanks for watching
Hi pal, glad to see you soldering on, best of luck to you. Just wondering as it’s a good few months on now, how are you getting on with the saw, performance and size wise?
I’ve been on the fence because of the size. Thanks.
I've got this saw and it was a massive step up from my old Titan 🙂 I'm glad you mentioned the blade spinning down so slowly, I was beginning to wonder if mine had a fault as it seemed to take an age, I can't even imagine how long it might take with a dado stack on it! Other than that, I'm very happy with it and LJ have obviously done something to deal with the electrical issue that @ragnbonebrown highlighted as I've not had a single problem
What size would do you want for the infeed of the table saw? Could you spin it around and feed in from the back wall and build your workbench/outfeed table along side the mitre station, just not 100% of the width of the saw so there is a walkway between? If the workbench was on castors you could move it across to catch the wood when using the saw and back in to create more room when using it as a workbench? Hope that makes sense.
Yeah i was surprised how long it takes the blade to stop but other than that I like it.
Yeah I have though about turning it 180° & putting bench other side. In an ideal world I would like plenty of infeed and outfeed space. But if I did need extra infeed space I can just move it so that is a possibility. Thanks for the comments appreciate it
Cracking video! I would be interserted to know if you can use the saw with the left side extension table and fence support removed - and the on/off switch located elsewhere? This would give improved space on the left - leaving the full capacity right of the blade.
Is this possible?
Hi I asked you before about the size of the box the table saw came in as I was getting a new workshop but due to some delays it hasn't been done yet. So I'm wondering if you would consider doing a follow up giving your opinion on the saw. Great channel, Happy Christmas.
Thanks for the comprehensive rundown. One question: Would you be able to give the thickness of the riving knife? I'm interested in the compatibility with thin kerf saw blades.
After measuring with my digital calipers my Riving knife is 2.56mm. Hope that helps
it does, thanks!@@GrumpysWorkshop4
Hi Dave great video on assembling the tablesaw. I'm waiting to but this tablesaw at the moment as it is out of stock and my new workshop is being done in a mo th or so it will be 6m x 3m with a pvc door and I'm wondering will the box fit through the standard size door? Do you happen to know the measurements of the box?
I look forward to an update video when you decide to do one.
Thanks appreciate that. As for measurements of box I don't know that as don't have box anymore. However I have a narrower than standard upvc door on my workshop & on its side it went through OK. Also it went easily through my front & back door to the house so you will be fine.
@@GrumpysWorkshop4 Thanks Dave that's a great help.
@@patrickmaher9270 it is extremely heavy too
can i ask what issues you had with the axminster saw? cheers
They weren't really major issues.
1100 wat was a little under powered in my opinion. Set up not as easy on the axminster. Riving knife not adjustable & higher than blade. Throat plate has screws holding it down so not easy if changing blade. Plus mobile base only has 2 swivel wheels.
Lumberjack easy to set up. No screws in throat plate, rivin knife adjustable without tools. Dust collection is better & base has 4 swivelling castors making moving the saw so much easier. Fence is a full fence & it's easier to adjust & slides easier
thanks dave@@GrumpysWorkshop4
Nice video. I've watch a few now including Keith's. I really like the saw and for the price it's easily the go to choice. The one main stumbling block for me is the power issues he's faced. Are you running this on a 13A plug? Have you had any issues or have they been fixed at source? Cheers
When I purchased mine I ordered myself a few slow blow 13a fuses but there was actually a slow blow fuse supplied with the saw which was in with the paperwork on the box. I swapped the fuse but what I didn't check was if the installed fuse was also a slow blow fuse. I've had no issues since
@@GrumpysWorkshop4 brilliant thank you. I think Keith mentioned something about them. Maybe they've added them since his review.
Hi mate, what did you decide in the end regarding setup - im working out of a 10x8ft workshop and thinking of adding this instead of dewalt jobste and adding a router into the table etc but not sure on space :(
Not been in the workshop much lately hence why no recent videos. To be honest I'm gonna be sorting the workshop out when I get back to normal. Adding more storage, need another bench to go with this saw. I need to add the cast iron extension tables to this so I will decide how to set it up. It does fit in fully extended with nothing at the side of it but with anything at the side there's not much room to get round. It is possible to only fit the long sections of rail to shorten the width as you would've seen in the video & I don't think that looks bad either. Would just need another measuring tape.
If you want the saw it's doable in a small workshop but sacrifices need to be made like having clear space besides it which means that part of the workshop has to be clear. Or using longer sections of rail only to shorten width. Depends if you need the longer capacity or not. Or even being able to push against wall when not in use. Ideally with a saw of this size a bigger workshop would be ideal but those of us with less space have to make the best of what we have. I don't mind being a little cramped.
Sorry I can't be more specific but I've not decided how I'm doing it yet as not been in the workshop for a bit.
Thanks for the video. I’ve had the saw for a few weeks. It’s great, but I’m just having trouble with some slop in the fence. I contacted Lumberjack and they pointed me towards your video. I have followed all of the points in your video. The only thing I can see that i may have done slightly wrong is to have the front and back rails at slightly different heights. Out of interest, what’s the distance from your table top to the top of the rails?
Mine measure around 15mm. It does say if the fence doesn't sit level across table to adjust rails. First time I put fence on there was a bigger gap at the back of the fence to table than the front so had to adjust rails slightly. I doubt you will get them perfect along the entire length but I mainly concentrated to right of blade as I don't use fence on left side.
Perfect. I shall aim for 15mm too then. Thank you.
@@ianmicklewright7216the main thing to do is make sure the gap at the bottom of the fence & table is equal across table. Like I say mine are roughly 15mm but I didn't measure that I just adjusted the rails so the fence was level front to back across table
Oh & don't forget there is adjustment on front & back of fence to tighten it up or loosen it. If you do it up to tight fence won't slide at all but too lose it will be sloppy
Did you manage to sort your fence out mate?
Can I ask what the problems were with the Axminster unit that were so bad that it led to you buying a whole new table saw? I’m in the market for one and a trying to decide between Axminster or Lumberjack.
First of all nothing was that bad on the axminster. There was just some areas that could've been designed better. After watching Keith's video (rag n bone brown) on the lumberjack the issues on the axminster had been sorted in this one.
1, Throat plate on axminster has screws holding it down so changing blade is awkward.
Lumberjack has magnet & no screws.
2, wheels are an extra on axminster & wheel base from axminster has 2 fixed wheels & 2 that pivot making it hard to manoeuvre in a small space.
Lumberjack has mobile base with 4 swivel wheels including. Work very well.
3, fence on axminster doesn't go front to back of saw & is tricky to adjust. 4 machine screws at front to adjust fence but when you tighten screws fence moves.
Lumberjack is easy to adjust for alignment and plumb & works well.
4, 216mm axminster is only 1100w & the only cut I made on mine was a 2x4 & in my opinion it struggled so I dread to imagine what cutting hardwood would be like. The 254mm axminster is only 1500w so both seem under powered.
5, table area very small on axminster & you have to buy the extra left-side extension table if you want it.
Lumberjack has much more capacity & seems more sturdy.
6, adjustments on axminster nowhere near as good as Lumberjack ts1800.
7, riving knife on axminster higher than blade & with blade all the way down sticks above table. Also very tricky to adjust with grub screws & no room.
Lumberjack easy to adjust first of all. But then it can be adjusted to 3 heights with the pull of a leaver. So either above blade with guard or below height of blade for through cuts.
8, I can't comment on dust extraction as never really used axminster but other people say dust extraction is terrible even with above table & rear extraction points.
Lumberjack I've not really used yet but others say dust extraction is better.
That's all the points I can think of right now so hope that helps. This is just my honest opinion ofcourse.
Cheers Dave for the very comprehensive list of the issues/ differences with the Axminster. I had watched Kieth’s vid where he’d overcame some of the issues and decided to keep the Axminster. It seems to be quite a lot of hassle to get over those issues when the Lumberjack overcomes them straight out of the box. Your opinion that the Axminster seems to be underpowered is also something to think about. Thanks for your help from a new subscriber👍
Can I ask what the height is from the floor to the top of the table please?
It's 37 1/4 inches give or take
@@GrumpysWorkshop4 Many thanks for that
What exactly model is it mate?
It's the ts1800
@@GrumpysWorkshop4 is it for £1000?
@@Chris-vc1dh it's around that price but I only payed about £700
Hi. Thanks for the video. I have this saw for two years more or less. Never been happy with it. Think i have a dud. Cuts out often, which is a pain in the b...
My main issue and question to you, and anyone else is thus. My pulleys, the ones that take the belt to drive the blade, are if viewed from the open panel at the back, are not in alignment. This leads to only half the belt sitting on the pulley, and half just running free, which finally has caused the belt to break. Do your pulleys line up nicely and make use of the full width of the belt?
I've just checked mine & the pulley on the motor & the one on the main shaft are perfectly in line & the belt is fully on the pulleys.
@@GrumpysWorkshop4 hi. Thanks for that. I am not a happy man right now. I can't think of a fix. I can't even figure out how it's so badly out of alignment. I will have to get on the phone with the lumberjack people. Thanks for your reply. Keep well.
@@bobsponge3747 I wouldn't even be able to guess how that happened. I mean I had a problem with mine but was lucky I managed to sort it out. I don't know how the pulley ls out of line unless the motor or shaft have moved somehow. That's crazy
When you say it cuts out is that an electrical problem. Because it's imported it drawers a lot of power on start up blowing fuses. It now comes with 13amp slow blow fuses which seem to have sorted the problem for me. Not sure if that what you mean by cutting out
@@GrumpysWorkshop4 hi. Yep. It runs for a while and then just stops on its own. Have to wait a few minutes then try it again. Here where I am the plugs don't have fuses in them, they are sealed plugs.
Build another workshop. You need room for a table saw.
Hey there mate. hope all's well with u my friend. I watched RAG'N'BONE's review and build of this table saw and I was in contact with LumberJack about buying one. The price at the time was 899.00 euros which was good but they wanted another 300 euros to deliver it to IRELAND. I said no to that delivery price. It's way to high especially as AUK were willing to deliver their saws for free. I decided to wait and take a shot at building my own by buying the steel for the build and getting a good 3hp motor from VEVOR.
I was wondering what ur thoughts are on it so far. Have used it mush yet or have u only recently put it together mate? The lad on Rag'n'Bone said he was well pleased with it but I think he had this issue with the SLOW BLOW FUSES. I asked them about them and instead of supplying it with the saw they told me I could get them in any electrical shop. Why don't they supply these fuses with their sw in case ppl have this issue.
Imagine u buy this sw and it keeps tripping or bowing fuses in ur gaff. That would be very annoying for anybody who doesn't know what the score is with the fuses. Look I have to be honest here and say I'd never heard of Slow Blow Fuses befre watching that video from Keith? I hope I said his name right. He does have a good channel as well.
Anyways I wish u the best with ur new saw mate.. The good thing with this saw is u can use the full rails and just turn it sideways into the wall and move it out again when u need to use it. Ur shop is small. Mine is approx 16x10ft..
I built some narrower storage shelving on the ground and even though it's a decent one car garage size it's not big enough for my wood collection to be on the ground at the other side with a bench, mitre station and drill PRESS. mY SHOP IS JAMMED FULL OF STUFF NOW. i'M THINKING OF BUILDING UP HIGHER BCOS i HAVE NO SHELVES up higher on the walls. That's the next plan for my shop now. I need a p[lace to put some lumber out of the way as well.
Trying to manouver stuff in the shop can be mental gymnastics at times.. haha!
Again take care my friend and keep up the great content..
The joys of having a small shop. Mines just over 15ft x 7.5ft inside dimensions.
Blimey I wouldn't wanna pay 300 for delivery but wouldn't be brave enough to make my own.
Not really used it yet but already I can say it's better than the axminster.
i was quoted 250 from aximinster for delivery of a saw this week, its brexit mate, dont think the manufacturers have any control, last time i got a drum sander from axminster to ireland it was pre brexit and was free..
@@kevinwillis6707 yeah that's a lot of money just for postage. Brexit definitely has a lot to answer for.
