Axminster Clearance

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.

Axminster Clearance

Postby stephen.wood125 » 30 Dec 2014, 11:26

Hi all,

Though it's mostly out of stock, the CK-500S fine filter cartridge is available to click and collect at the Axminster and High Wycombe stores.

I've got the big 3hp SIP dust collector this fits it at c 490mm internal diameter. I picked up this cartridge for £137.86 instead of £209 as it appears Axi are refreshing their dust/chip collectors.

Quite a 'niche' thing I know but may be useful to someone on here!

I also got the Osborne EB3 mitre gauge (not on sale) shiny toys! :lol: :lol:

Good choice, I have had one of those for some years now and its a pleasure to use. It was not an easy thing to buy back then, I think I had to order mine from across the pond.

I got my nameless plastic-handled one in a £1 bargain bucket at Acton Square Hardware many moons ago. It does pretty much the exact same job, without looking quite so .......erm......pretty.

I doubt it will let you set angles quite as precisely as the EB3, but then your not a table saw user, so would not see the benefit of it anyway.

Thanks Dave! :text-goodpost:

@Mike I'm sure that close enought is generally good enough, but I like shiny things and need all the help I can get! I still have more affinity with engineering/metalworking and their levels of accuracy/tolerances. Probably mistakenly I try to apply that to wood :lol:

It appears Axi are updating a number of things, their recent clamp sale was clearly to get rid of stock before a rebranding of heavy duty clamps to Trade and a change of colour to grey. The new catalogue seem to show a new range of planes as well.

When will they have a clearance of the things that I need ?
I do not think therefore I do not am.
