Hi,

I am sure Kadman and the wood craft forum will explain all the important details like different brands and blades etc.

One item to be very careful about is Insurance, I have a small table saw for general rough work but when my insurance company sent out an inspector (standard) he almost withdrew cover completely when he found the saw buried at the back of the work shop.

TBH the only way I got out of trouble with them was we had a 110 volt box that was not working, so we plugged the saw into the dead box to show it didn't work.

I took it home after that, they take table saws so seriously I am surprised that joineries can get insurance cover at all, so take care

was that on home or professional insurance pete?

surely they can't withold cover to a homeowner who owns some powertools that might be dangerous?

I know table saws are particularly nasty like but still. ****in insurance bastards

Hi John Boy,

Professional insurance, E.L and P.L. costing over 30 grand a year because of height liability.

I got a letter from them after the inspection "advising" me not to buy a replacement table saw.

What really annoyed me was the ordinary power saws are every bit as dangerous in the wrong hands but he never even checked the guards on them.

I suppose he found his fault and had something to report back.

They refused to cover our (mine and my dads) tools on our farm insurance, "cos they get stolen a lot" why did they think we wanted to insure them.



makes me mad
