Here's the place to talk about all your table saws, bandsaws, routers and dust extractors. In fact anything that makes noise and uses electrickery.

AKA the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Pillar Drills.

People often ask me for opinions on machines they are thinking of buying. My current correspondent is a previous customer for inverters and is likely to need another inverter off me so I'm helping him out.

This photo is of the table on the specimen he is currently considering. I don't think I've ever seen one that has had such abuse.

Not good. Not the worst I've seen, but not good. Ignoramuses and their bosses--oh well.

Fix can be done with epoxy, body filler, babbitt, or, for woodworking, bolting an auxiliary table over it.

Crikey Bob - that's disgusting . Make me wonder what else has been abused to that or greater extent . If he buys it perhaps he could fix a flat surface onto it .

Makes me think the table on my old Walker Turner got off lightly.

I have a bit of MDF which covers it most of the time.

My tool kit is almost complete, only a few more to get.

The technical term for that is "The Arc of Shame".
