The first thing I noticed is it has a brush motor so the startup will be very violent and noisy and will frighten the life out of most people as it leaps into action to me it is just your standard cheap nothing special about it but if you only want it for the odd bit of cutting then it should do the job
Have you read the feedback on the axminster site some of it sounds very negative

Table saws unfortunately take up a lot of room in the workshop not just the profile of the saw but the feed in area and the tailoring out space needed. Choices come down to sizes you will need to cut etc.

Quality pays.

Wow Woody, spot on.
Went to the local dealer who sells these, incidently it a great gold mine of a shop.

So I'm looking at the saw, and another Metabo TS254 which is 3 times the price. I asked the assistant if we could start them up. I told him my concerns over the Jet's start up

Metabo first, nice smooth start, not too loud and has a 3 second blade break.

The the Jet, Jesus the bloody thing made us both jump, he said it scared the s**t out of him. Woody was exactly right, so violent at start up and quite noisy.

NO WAY would I want to use that thing, it was worse that the crappy 2nd hand one I already got ...

Thanks Woody, saved me £200 .... can you lend me the other £300 I'm gonna need for the metabo ... :winking:

Which ever one you choose Brad my top tip is to keep your fingers well away from that shiny thing that spins around very fast

You need to get one with an induction motor or one that says soft start both the same thing
