Looks amazing Neale. Have you cut anything on it yet?. Wouldn't want to spoil the paint work though.

Lol , No I havent even started it up since the rebuild but it will get used , so dont expect it to look like this for long. :yikes:

Latest arrival !

I have been asked how much this has cost, I havent actually been taking notes but its roughly as follows
Actual cutter from Ebay £82,
Riving knife, Blade guard/bolt and Water tray from Diatech, £38.70
Fixed Square £39.31 from TileTown
Various nuts bolts and washers etc in Stainless steel £10 from Ebay but I had to buy lots more than I needed !
Paint £20 Halfrauds Vauxhall Pastel Blue and grey primer.

I wont include the price of the Sigma 86c wheel that TradeTiler supplied as I censider it a part that would need replacing from time to time anyway plus when I bought the cutter it came with a still servicable wheel anyway.
Only one part missing and its done....Total spend minus wheel to date is ....£190.01 which is very good for a class cutter that will serve me well for a long time.

That's a bargain for a cutter that's £900 quid to buy new.

Oh I forgot I replaced the ribbed rubber mat on the sliding table at the cost of £4.48.

Also big thanks to Derek @SigmaUK for the exploded diagrams, Twitter and PM messages and a phone call.
