M_A_T_T Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 (edited) What would i do to the infeed and outfeed rollers? chris ← What exactly do you have? I thought you meant you have the Performax Bench top 10" thickness sander. I think I'm wrong. Do you have this? http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp?pf_id=32570&recno=1 You may be able to adjust the infeed/outfeed rollers, but this is a different tool than I thought, so I may not know what I'm talking about, sorry.

nollock Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Yeah, i have the perform thicknesser. Anyway I'll have a look in the manual and see if it says anything about the rollers. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I'm always amazed every time anyone in the UK starts talking tools. Taiwan, where the bulk of this stuff is made is no further from Liverpool than it is from Seattle. Why the heck doesn't someone over there start bringing in the equipment The we are drowning in over here? You all have access to the really high end stuff like Startrite and Wadkins but no mid range and smaller except for stuff that looks like homeowner grade. Are the import duties really that high? A Grizzly 14" bandsaw, which I'd rate as decent for the bucks, with a riser block is less tahn $500 US. I think that's about 250-260 in pounds. I would think that someone with a decent head for business could get a good market relatively quickly? What gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem strange though that there aren't more US imported tools, must some of kind of tax issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
