I had a small accident with my compound mitre saw a couple of weeks ago, whilst it was only skin, the bone on a finger was exposed. reason trying to cut a very small mitre and holding the wood too close to the blade as I could not fix a clamp as so small.

So lesson leaned I have been looking for a table saw. Whilst I usually buy Dewalt, the small saws only have a 8" blade so opted for a Makita 2704. FFS they don't come cheap, but with a finger still having a hole where the skin is still missing, neither do new fingers.

So shopping around and I can get it 50quid cheaper than anywhere else and there seems to be shortage of 240v I hand over the card details and advised it will come Tuesday.

Just had the phone call...Mr Wilkinson, this is Travis Perkins. About your web order...Heart starts to sink, they are going to say a price mistake online...No, Makita say none in the country for at least 4 weeks.

Gripe, I have a job to finish, a painful finger and back to using the mitre. Carefully.
