Update: 20 Aug 2013 - Liam - cut and drilled new tensioner bar for the free end of the blade mounting. Fitted new blade and tested. Working OK. 5mm wall 50mm scaffold pole cut through in <20s! | |||

* Emergency stop mushroom in power feed on wall. | |||
* Cage or guard needs fabricating for the top belt pulley. | |||
* Floor levelling and machine needs bolting down. | |||
* Extra work rest needs fabricating to support longer work pieces. | |||
